Carlos Monasterios (1-0, 1.90) vs. Jeff Francis (1-0, 0.68).
 |  |
COMMENTS: That, my friends, is a short leash. Which Monasterios is likely to be on due to his relative inactivity of late. Which means the bullpen better be ready, which is a concern because you don't want to burn your bullpen in the first game of a series at Coors Field.
Worse, the Rockies are hot hot hot right now, winners of five straight. The Dodgers aren't exactly slacking themselves, having won 17 games in May. Losing two of three to the Cubs kinda stung, but at leash we miss ÜberUbaldo this series. Woof!

MONASTERIOS IS THE FUTURE OF THIS ORGANIZATION
We will see tonight if he is mono or stereo.
Life's the same, I'm Monoastereo. Life's the same, except for my shoes.
That is one short leash, as far as leashes go. Good find.
Off to walk my dog on a decidedly longer leash, though if he keeps lunging at the poodles next door, I'll have to put him on the Honeycutt special.
Belisario has a nice little fro going.
I'm sure glad we have Vin back
Headed home now so will be away from GT until later.
I went here looking for the score first, before any site that actually gives the score. Instead I saw Josh's comment re Beli's new fro. Far more valuable info than any box score could ever convey! Excellent.
Catch y'all soon.
There goes the no hitter
There goes the shut out
this game is sucking big time already.
gameday's glitchy as all get out today.
Dusty, you may want to keep avoiding sites that give the score.
Monster is going to last about 2 1/2 innings at this rate.
MonoStereos: not so good yet
We're lucky it was only two.
So they've got defense, pitching and hitting down. What do we have?
I don't like the smell of this game
@MrC...We've got good intentions??
Why is the camera angle so wide?
Did we forget to pack our offense on this roadtrip?
So...CarGo is clutch?
Hi folks, just checking in
It depends on which meaning of offense, Sax. The games on this trip have been pretty offensive.
I'll take the gift.
@Karen
Good intentions? Enough to pave a road.
Already down 2-0? Steriosly?
That's my Monasterios pun for the evening.
@ek
Monotonously, even.
Crap.
Mono homer here.
gosh darn it.
Making him work.
Monny's got a fro too!
Getting ready for 70's Night?
Francis has faced the minimum. Wake up the bats, boys.
1-2-3 for Mono
The 70's Night poster is badass, btw.
@Karen: Yup - at least Rockies didn't "sock mono" in that inning.
@Karina (o alguien mas): did you get the pun I just made?
Frustrating.
Come on Manny, hit one out for Gary Coleman.
I guess Manny had already grounded out by the time I wrote that.
Damn gameday.
I'm surprised teams don't just always send lefties against us.
Epale everyone!
Just escaped a little while from my mom b-day's party to check the score.
@EK i did! hahahahahahahahaha (now I want to stay here and not come back to the party!)
@Josh I want to see a larger image of that poster. If it's that awesome, I want it framed on my wall.
Just arrived at the house at AG only to find out the cable is turned off.
Choppy 3g service. You guys will be my eyes but with blurry vision.
Johnson's throw was nowhere near home, so Rox up 3-0.
We picked the wrong time to stop scoring runs.
Epale Karina! See, I told you I'd be on a GT eventually.
@karina: I copied and pasted that link on my iPhone, so I'm sure a larger image is available.
So, this isn't going to happen, is it?
BTW I was asking about the 'sock mono' pun, not the 'steriosly' one.
*shamelessly seeking recognition for my references to the Kia Crew*
dude this blows
Vinny calling that guy a clown made my night.
They'll review it. But I'm sure we are getting shut out anyways.
Haha Vin called the guy a clown.
@Mr C, if by 'this' you mean me hooking up with Jessica Alba, well, never say never.
But if by 'this' you mean Monasterios shutting down the Rockies, the answer is, sadly, no.
Who the fuck wears wristbands to a game? Did the dude run out of eyeblack?
Yup. Well, when you're hot, you're hot.
Mr C, so what's on tap for your next puzzle?
BISON GOES YARD!!!
That's what you get when you don't believe Matt when he says it's not a home run.
@EK
Well, we're not getting shut out. You'd better keep your cellphone on hand in case she calls.
Re: next puzzle. Well, there is at least one Simpsons reference and one rhyming couplet, so you should be set. Alas, that is all I can reveal.
They should just walk the ball out to Stewart to save time.
Ah, gotcha, Mr C. Just send me the solution by email and I'll send you the solution to my next one. Just like we did last time.
Just kidding everyone.
Lefty starter or no lefty starter, Loney should never sit on the bench at Coors.
Yes. Kidding, of course.
No conspiracy to see here, keep walking.
I've heard of trying to wear down the pitcher, but not the third baseman.
Actually, I didn't even solve your previous puzzle, so that wouldn't make sense. Or maybe we're just that good at covering our tracks.
I fear MLASFs walls will wear down faster than Stewart.
Helton's sleeve thingy is really feminine-looking.
@EK
No, the last one was the one we were rigging so Josh would win, remember? Made a grip o' cash in Vegas, at that.
I'm flattered.
Still hate the vest uniforms.
Why the GAARP???
Wha!?
I am oh so proud of GAARP.
(The nickname, not the player.)
GA....Who knew?
That just got him a second year.
GAARP shows me up!
I like it!
Oh he made me eat my words and now I will wash them down w/my martini.
Well, unless something drastic happens, looks like no epic collapse for the Celtics.
@Mr C
Oh that's right, I forgot.
By the way, UBragg's check just cleared. Tomorrow I'll let you all know how a brand new Lamborghini handles.
Josh S, you get the GAARP entry for the SoSG Glossary, whenever you want to submit it.
Oh boy, sending GAARP from second on a sac fly is risky...I could hear his bones creaking from here.
Vin is mixing up Martin and LoDuca. Hoo, boy.
Ha! It worked!
Nice job J Martin!!!
4-3
@Betsey
91 was a disaster today
MANNY!!!!!!
Whee!!!!!!
MANNY'S BACK!!!!
wow!
Hope that means he's back in form.
Was I sure Jim Tracy was going to leave his starter in too long? I think you'd have to say yes.
I really wanted to Celtics to lose this series. Darn it.
I like seeing that sad-sack walk to the mind happen to someone else.
oh hell yes.
Unfortunately, no lead is safe at Coors, not even a one-run lead.
Gary Whoshisface on the pregame show called Manny's homer.
Let's beat the snot out of their, 'pen, just for good measure.
Sax, are you bringing back nostalgic memories of Jim Tracy? The answer would seem to be yes.
^Where did that rougue comma come from?
At least we know Joe's not going to trot RaOrtiz out there
Looks like another conspiracy, Mr C
Monosterios can't lose.
And Parkerlewis can't win.
Ok folks I gotta run. Hope to see a W when I check back...
Wow, that ball 4 to Belliard looked really close.
Reed Johnson? How are ya'?
SD losing 3-0 to the Nats in the fourth inning
Johnson should have swung at strike 1
Johnson now down 0-2. Guessing Blake is stranded.
Reed Johnson HBP. It's all up to our own MSB, Wide Eyes!
Rancho Ackbariendo
Ubragg's bribing to win the PCS?
Next we'll have Floyd Landis entering the competition.
I'm not 100% convinced Ubragg isn't EK.
Crooked numbers for us.
I'm not 100% convinced UBragg is entirely human.
Oh. Tron. So...we're still going to lose.
Let's see if Tron remembers how not to suck.
Life moves fast.
So fast that palm is an outdated company, and that product is useless.
Palm trying to win me over with the songs in their commercials.
Sent from my iPhone.
Tron looks like he's bouncing back. Joe will now use him in every game next week.
@Josh
If advertising were everything, we'd all have our garages full of Kias.
Nats lead SD 3-1 in the 5tg
Padres down 3-1, top 5
giants up 2-0 on the snakes, end 4
Tron fooled the heck out of Barmes there
Reed Johnson snags that Mora ball and holds him to a single.
You watching, Xavier Paul?!?!
Heads-up play there for...Reed.
Celtics advance...
@Josh s. 8.01-8.04p: pretty funny that we both commented on the palm commercial. Which looked like it was taken in Macarthur Park, northeast corner, if I'm not mistaken.
Come on Kuo!
2-2 count to Spilborghs. Deuces wild--shit, ball trois
@Karen - still sucking cheeks! Now on the nonmoving imperial highway. Wonder if I will make it home in time to see the 9th. Getting funny looks from Angel fans as i shake my fists!
KCAL goes to the crazy split screen! Holy smokes!
Come on, Kuo!
@Mr C 8:54p: nice job with "rancho ackbardiendo"
that's right, iPhone! What are you gonna suggest for that word?
I thought so. Now stay down!
Ugh. Need strikes.
Kuo is playing with fire here
3-2 to Helton, two on two out
@sax
I'm on iPad, and it gave up after 10 letters or so.
Thank you Todd Helton
Wow, Kuo makes Helton chase a really bad one upstairs!
And Kuo does a bat-flip equivalent jump off the mound!
I like Hong-Chih Kuo!
@betsy
Still on the road? Holy Holiday weekend, Batman!
Ethier went 1-for-2 in a rehab start...
Manny Ramirez, Schmidt passer
@Betsy, I can't believe your work kept you until 7p on a holiday weekend. Boooooooo
All you Rox fans cheering the Manny K:
Booooooo to you
Not gonna touch that one.
Kemp takes two bad swings and then flies out.
I think the Cubs should come to the Dodgers "Under The Lights" night
Wow that was a bad inning.
What is going on guys?
My iPhone must have the 2004 virus because gameday says Manny hit a homerun and GA has a hit.
Coors plays DSB too? Is it just a baseball thing now?
The entire central coast must have one cell tower.
Tulo uses Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" as his walk-up music.
I don't think I can laugh hard enough.
@Paul
Just purchased dodgers/sox tix today.
The last five Rox outs have been Ks
beli gets tulo on the k. One out
I think the red sox use to but then went to Neil and next Band on the Run starting with the Dodgers Sox series
That's sorta funny and sorta scary, Paul.
Paul, your iPhone is correct.
Fly out to Manny for out #2, olivo Ks for out #3
Honda is shooting its ads in Chi-Town!
Kcal please stand by? Huh?
You ate his face?
More technical difficulties!
And they're gone by the time I type that.
XP with a quick AB
Mr. C
For the sunday game? Get your plane tix yet?
That might have worked if he didn't bunt-pop it.
Why would you put Paul in right for defensive purposes?
Oh, in left. Got it.
Someone hand Beimel a broken pint glass, please
I used to like Beimel when he was with us
Now, not so much
I miss Beimel. Especially when he pitches like that.
Yup Sunday game and flight locked in.
Did Broxton even have time to warm up?
Just beat my neighbor's kid in HORSE this evening. He's in sixth grade and us a good kid.
But I had to beat him.
Now all I need to see is blogger go down and I will know project Mayhem has started.
Shit. XP's in right. I hope the Rockies didn't watch yesterday's game.
Bottom of the ninth, 5-4 dodgers
shit. Reed moved to left, Paul goes to right. Jason Giambi up.
Aw, no pornstache?
Mekka lekka hi! It's Giambi!
Giambi up, so the shift is on
Defensive Johnson!
Brox frickin HAD Giambi and he hits him. Great.
Damn, not now, Brox!
Ugh. Nervous now.
I have a bad feeling about this
Strikeout wanted!
1-2 count with man on first / none out
And delivered!
Barmes K. One out.
GIDP wanted
What is happening (runs into the wall)
That scared the crap out of me.
Ok, uno mas!
COors Field bites all our music.
Paul, if you hadn't had been so cavalier on that Mora fly ball to right, Fowler might not have advanced to scoring position.
How can you be cavalier after yesterday's debacle?
One more out and we Make party?
What did I do now? Bench me.
Well, they're putting the winning run aboard to get to Spilborghs...
Hoo boy
This is making my brain itchy.
1 strike!
Nervous time!!!!
200
I can't take this kind of stress so soon after the Lakers game
We make party!
BROX ROCKS
Yay Broxton!
