Clayton Kershaw (4-2, 3.23) vs. Ryan Dempster (2-4, 3.73).
COMMENTS: I could have been at this game.
It pains me to write those words, especially since I've been to Wrigley Field before (and loved it), and the good friend who offered me to join him in the first row behind the Dodgers dugout would have made a hell of a roadtrip buddy (there will be other opportunities, I'm sure). But life gets in the way--I have a meeting Wednesday morning; I travel enough that I don't want to be away another night; it just didn't make practical sense.
So I passed on this opportunity.
Instead, I'm spending this Wednesday like (most of) the rest of you: firing up your radios to listen to the game on the drive home, trying not to hear the 16-ounce cans of Old Style cracking open and pouring beautiful nectar to happy fans in the crowd, or the Cubs' Dixieland band playing songs in between innings, or Eric "The Curse" Collins' voice from the television broadcast. I want to hear Kershaw, who has two runs in 22 1/3 innings over his last three starts, keep up his great work and roll past Dempster, who has lost his last four decisions but is 6-3 with a 2.52 ERA against the Dodgers (almost two full runs lower than his career ERA of 4.42).
Maybe I'll just sit at home and celebrate the 25th anniversary of the #1 Billboard chart position of Wham's classic hit, "Everything She Wants". But hey, I don't want to celebrate alone, so now you can enjoy it too (make sure to check out how desperate and frustrated George Michael gets during the bridge, at around 4:50. GEORGE MICHAEL ANGRY! GEORGE MICHAEL SMASH!).
P.S.: Suns / Lakers, 6p tip-off.
Yeah, I know it's the 33rd anniversary of the debut of Star Wars. It's not like we didn't plug the hell out of Empire Strikes Back night. Oh, and that photo is via Harry How / Getty Images North America.

Seriously? Three guys cover Dragic but nobody covers Frye? Fucking unbelievable.
Who ordered the parade of suck today?
Same for Dudley, and same for Barbosa.
the starters need to come back in now.
the suns starters too, they are all negative in +/-
If Gentry was smart, he'd leave the bench in.
GAHALHFAH GET A FUCKING BOARD
im glad i was wrong.
its hard to grab long rebounds.
crap, its a little comforting that the suns cant win in LA. but id rather not drag this thing out.
I'm going to curl into a ball and cry now, muttering to myself "perimeter defense" over and over.
oh come on now there letting the contact go.
OMG they call a defensive three.
now they call a defensive three.
how was that not a foul on that putback by pau
I'm getting sick of the Suns' offensive boards.
suns starters back in, we can win this.
nevermind
Fouling only works if we're making shots on the other end.
well, there is only one more game in arizona.
i cant believe this series is tied up.
two games with the exact same failures on the closeout.
Why are they even taking a timeout?
lakers going down in flames and all kareem can do is talk about glamburgers.
why are they fouling?
games over.
looks like the lakers need to call Coach K for some advice on the zone.
I can't wait for this series to return to LA.
I think Kareem is in shock right now.
why are they saying the lakers struggle against the zone? 50% shooting, only 6 turnovers.
the lakers are just playing very undisciplined basketball. and ZERO defense.
Who'd have guessed that those three straight 3s would make a difference.
really wish we had someone that was good at cutting to the basket.
Whats trevor doing right now?
i hope this turns out the same way as the thunder series.
what a frustrating day. MLASF im coming to your house i need to punch a wall.
kobe was three rebounds away from a triple double.
Go ahead. I have plenty of walls for everyone!
Man what a long day and then I come home to two crappy games.
Kersh pitched great at least.
What injury can we make up for Tron?
I vote for strained medulla oblongata.
so much sports failure in one day, it feels like a sunday.
@Paul
15-day DL w/ demomic possesion or DTD w/ beriberi
15-day DL with strained ovaries.
^ demonic
NicJ, it feels like this past Sunday, in fact.
Post a Wham video in the GT post, someone is going to end up with their fist through a wall.
Day to Day with the case of the Shivering Sherrils will require rest to prevent a more serious injury of Ocular Ortiz.
George Michael Sherrill?
I am not letting this day go away without something positive.
Nightcap time.
60-day DL, imbalanced chakras
30 day with turf tongue.
Somebody's karma ran over Troncoso's dogma.
He's going on bereavement for 60 days.
Seriously, WTF with all the errors?
The Minotaur deserved more.
Did anyone say, "Fuck me in the armpit" yet?
Tron to 60-day DL with the golbloots.
(He got it from a booshoo bird.)
60 day DL with Testicular cranberrying. (thanks Dr. Colbert).
50 day suspension for tainted aura sample
And the fucking Padres shut out the Cards?!
Remember Ortiz almost had a quality start at Petco. That place is not of this world.
Day to day with Broxton Bowels.
Well, that's the last time I post a Wham video in the GT.
Fuck me in the armpit!
I wanted to throw up some LA signs last ngiht and instead LA threw up.
I am just going to sit in my office and brood all day. :-((
Dusty sad. Dusty mad. Can Dusty be sad and mad same time?
