Game 41 Thread: May 20 vs. Padres, 7p

Clayton Kershaw (3-2, 3.55) vs. Kevin Correia (4-3, 4.35).

Last time we had a Kershaw-Correia matchup — five days ago — the results were spectcular. In Kershaw's start before that, the results were pretty spectacular too. Before that? Not so spectacular. What we'd love today is another strong start to prevent the Dodgers' first series loss in their last five tries. We'd also like to get another winning streak started. Oh, and while we're at it, we'd like a pony. Pretty please?

Awesome standing ovation for Kid K as he exits. Loved his smile when he talked with Torre on the mound.

Steve Sax said...

great outing for the kid tonight. A much tougher road to hoe than the last head-to-head match with Correia, but he hung tough and delivered!

NicJ said...

Torre to Kershaw.

"great outing kid, ill let you take HomeboyKris out for a spin"

karina said...

Belly, strike out one your new teammate in winter baseball!

Kyle Baker said...

He heard your plea, Karina.

Steve Sax said...

@Mr F 8:59p: looks like you're garroting Anderson.

karina said...

Now you strike out your former teammate.

karina said...

I feel like Obi Wan Kenobi :)

NicJ said...

Salazaar wearing the XproTex batting gloves.

I was wondering if the company only making them with yellow pads would stop teams from wearing them.

Kyle Baker said...

Damn, Nikkei down 2.64%. See what you did, Mr C?

NicJ said...

breaking out a LOOGY for GA, really?

NicJ said...

haha and he flares one into right.

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

Gives a whole new perspective to the invisible hand of the market.

Kyle Baker said...

@Mr C

I believe the market gave us all a visible finger today.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

D'backs take the lead.
Lincecum is not a machine.
He's not a machine

Nostradamus said...

Don't look now, but giants tied with snakes bottom of the 8th

Kyle Baker said...

Mark Reynolds struck out!

Nostradamus said...

Delino is a news cycle ahead of me

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Reynolds has to strike out to keep up his 1.4 K / 9 Innings ratio. Takes real talent

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

My dog just demanded like her sixth walk today. Something strange afoot in Burbank

Kyle Baker said...

Broxton just doesn't dominate the way he used to. He gives up at least a hit each outing. (Not scientific but just going on memory.)

NicJ said...

A Delino, you do is trying to get its walks in while Ely isnt pitching.

#Elymania

Nostradamus said...

@delino

Call in John Ely, that'll straighten out that situation quickly.

Kyle Baker said...

Delino

My dog had pooped on the floor when I got home from work today, which isn't usual. Must be something in Pasadena, too.

Josh, anything afoot with pets in Glendale?

NicJ said...

your dog*

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

There's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When ya know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there's no place like home

Time's are changing everyday
We won't get by with the same old ways
No-oooo pulling together will make it right
With help from are friends I know we can right

Cause there's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When you know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there ain't no place like
Better believe it
I said their no place like home
"I mean no place child" .

NicJ said...

i think you missed

Nostradamus said...

Nic j by a nose, and I already used the joke once. Shoulda been ready.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

You think anyone ever called Everth "Neverth." I think that I just created that perfect insult.

(Writing in ipad) Note to self - call Everth "Neverth" during next Padres again.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

NEVERTH
NEVERTH
NEVERTH


It's so frikkin genius

NicJ said...

yeah i used it on twitter when the whole ELYMANIA thing started.

We'll call it a draw.

Unknown said...

C'mon Brox, strike the punk out.

NicJ said...

Stairs looks way smaller now for some reason.

Nostradamus said...

Suck it, Stairs!

NicJ said...

THE CURSE IS GONE!!

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

My wife's got a thing for Matthew McCounaghey (or at least, before he did some of his recent shitty films)

Thus, I will not even watch the game when Ely pitches :-)

karina said...

It's a win!

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

MAtt Stairs - the fastest man on Earth

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Phew - we kept his lightning legs off the bases. MAZOL TOV!

SEE YOU TOMORROW IN A GALAZXY FAR FAR AWAY

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Headline on MLB.com:

"Dodgers offense finds spark, despite absence of Ethier"

Kyle Baker said...

@Nic J

Yeah I commented last night that it looks like Stairs has a bad disease or something. He's thin as a rail, comparatively speaking.

Nostradamus said...

@nic j

Yeah, I used it on Twitter, too...

Creepy.

Unknown said...

Giants down to their last out, Arizona leads 8-7 in the top of the 9th!

Kyle Baker said...

However, Chad Qualls is in now.

Nostradamus said...

Triple for DD.

iPad publish button is hair trigger, yes?

Kyle Baker said...

That's already 1/8 as many triples as DD hit for Dodgers in any season he was with the team.

NicJ said...

JINTS LOSE!

Kyle Baker said...

Dbags win!

Kyle Baker said...

2nd place, a game back...or something like that now, no?

NicJ said...

so that puts us in second and one game back, right?

like it matters at this point in the season.

Kyle Baker said...

Jaysus, Nic, we are mysteriously in sync.

NicJ said...

the dodgers and the GT are in complete synergy.

Josh S. said...

@Dusty: My pet rock gave me the finger. Is that weird?

Brox striking out Stairs was like Christmas. Or rather, like Chinese turkey after Christmas was ruined by the Bumpass's dogs.

Kyle Baker said...

Bumpasses! Sons of bitches!

Kyle Baker said...

It's Manny's pinky toe that is injured. What the hell with pinkies?

Nostradamus said...

^*narf*

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

So ultimately, we end the series where we began, with a two-game deficit to make up.

Kyle Baker said...

Not sure if the post-game show production quality could be any shittier. My eighth grade movie for English class credit was better produced.

NicJ said...

two games back looks better when your looking down on the giants though.

NicJ said...

I blame Chris Meyers, douche.

Josh S. said...

MLASF: 1 game. Oh, you mean to have first place outright?

But the Giants are looking up at us now. As it should be.

Kyle Baker said...

^ Not two games, back. Just one. But I think MLASF meant two to overtake.

Kyle Baker said...

Speaking of games back, Os are 17.5 back. Feel bad for them. Look for ward to Nats spanking them this weekend, though.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Stupid Gameday. Didn't update the records.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's been that kind of night.

Josh S. said...

TIED FOR THE WILD CARD! TASTE THE EXCITEMENT!

(Tied with the Reds. Still seems weird.)

Josh S. said...

Magic Number is 122!

Kyle Baker said...

I'm tired, have had a long day at work, had to clean up dog poop...do I go to bed? Nooooooo! I get a beer and turn on MLB Network.

Josh S. said...

This O.A.R. song still sucks, but it's growing on me. Winning helps me enjoy it more.

NicJ said...

this has to be the worst produced dodgers live post game ever.

Stupid highschool spotlight segment cuts to commercial in the middle of it. Then the commercial cuts out to Meyers saying "thanks for watching dodger baseball"

terrible

Kyle Baker said...

@Nic

What about the random still picture of people entering the stadium that was just stuck on the screen for about 10 seconds? Pathetic.

Kyle Baker said...

@Mr C

Just saw ur other comment re RAND>Deep Thought. Nice!

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

I have a talent for tagging a clever comment to a dying thread.

Orel said...

MFHYPGTUP!

Kyle Baker said...

I have nightmares that I'm going to miss the final comments of almost-forgotten threads.

Speaking of have we figured a way to kill the Rally Sock Monkey Thingy thread yet?
