Game 52 Thread: June 1 vs. D'backs, 7p

It doesn't exist, but it should. From @PA_Dodger:

John Ely (3-2, 3.00) vs. Dan Haren (5-4, 5.35).

COMMENTS: Can the Dodgers top last night's balky walk-off weirdness? If they're still in the mood for more late-inning theatrics, they need only remember the last Ely-Haren matchup, in which the Dodgers scored nine runs in the last two innings to turn a one-run squeaker into a ten-run laugher.

Andre Ethier's back, although he went 0-for-4 in last night's game, leaving three men on base. Still, we've finally got our Opening Day lineup back, and two more opportunities to beat up on the D'backs before Jason Heyward and the Braves come to town. Let's see action!

D backs announcers have orgasmed.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Anticlimactic to say the least.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I swore I head a woman screaming at the top of her lungs until the catch was made.

karen said...

"125 pitches -- Career high"

He's scared to death to turn it over to the bully

Kyle Baker said...

That was less climactic that nic's prom night.

Paul said...

Lol making up words now.

NicJ said...

Hayooooo.

karina said...

@Nic J you're welcome :)

@Dusty Baker I didn't want to make fun of you! anyway I had my first date when i was 19. In my defense, I wasn't allowed to date.

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

Making fun of me is strongly encouraged! That was a good one.

Steve Sax said...

Wow, this is one hell of a pitching duel here. Nice jobs by Ely (7 IP, 2 H, no R) and Haren (8 innings so far, 7 H, no R).

On to the ninth!

Steve Sax said...

Looks like I missed tales of everyone's first dates.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

So who's the long man? Weaver? Miller? Schlichting? Is Schlichting still on the team?

Nostradamus said...

That's the beauty of the GT, Sax. Now we can relive the horror whenever we want.

Kyle Baker said...

Kuo dealing. I like the pitch selection especially.

Unknown said...

Kuo and Broxton are putting up unbelievable stats this season.

Kyle Baker said...

That'll be that.

NicJ said...

walkoff time.

Steve Sax said...

Nice ninth, Hunchy!

karina said...

@Steve Sax not really, Nic J was smooth, Dusty played fantasy baseball and Dungeons and Dragons and I didn't date 'till I was almost an adult.

Do you feel like sharing? :)

Nostradamus said...

That HCK has got a gigantic cranium, too.

NicJ said...

Sax on the beach?

Kyle Baker said...

Note to self: Take up D&D again.

Life was easier then.

Kyle Baker said...

Zack Greinke has a tiny head.

NicJ said...

Heilman, DAMN their one good reliever.

Steve Sax said...

Wow, the AZ pitcher looked mad that he had to leave the game.

Kinda like a red Haren.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Just watch: HBP, wild pitch, sac-fly, and wild pitch.

NicJ said...

you forgot to account loney getting thrown out on the basepaths.

Steve Sax said...

@Karina and Dusty: "played"? In the past tense?

Dusty, I still have my 20-sided icosahedron if we need to roll a critical.

NicJ said...

damn, were gonna have to waste a reliever on extras tonight.

Kyle Baker said...

That was never going out. Calm down, crowd.

Kyle Baker said...

Hopefully Jmart will knock one out with his vorpal bat.

Unknown said...

I almost want this game to go into the 11th or whatever so Ethier can get the walk-off

NicJ said...

Mini-Manny!!

Paul said...

One more hit and we make party!!! Not the same with a glass of water in my hand.

Steve Sax said...

Karina, when your son is plugged in, he looks so smooth and effortless in his swing!

Carroll keeps coming through...wow!

First and second with two out and Belliard PH

Steve Sax said...

Big whiff. 0-1 count

Steve Sax said...

Another big whiff. 0-2 count

Steve Sax said...

1-2 count to Belliard

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

"Life was easier then."

Yeah, like 5 Difficulty Class easier.

NicJ said...

well that sucked.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Free baseball.

Nostradamus said...

Extras it is. Anything to reach that pen.

karina said...

Our pinch hitters are kinda inefficient.

karina said...

Our pinch hitters are kinda inefficient.

Paul said...

That was weird. Much like me in Junior High Ronnie caught looking.

karina said...

@Steve Sax that's one of the reasons I "adopted" him

NicJ said...

weaver in a non- bases loaded situation.
watch out.

Steve Sax said...

I've met Dusty Baker, and he definitely has 18 Charisma and Intelligence.

As for his Constitution, it depends on the inning.

Kyle Baker said...

G. Heileman Old Milwaukee'd him.

Paul said...

Jeff in. Hold the nachos. Go Dogs!

Kyle Baker said...

This is very true re my constitution.

Mutts win!

Steve Sax said...

Furcal ran so far out there in left, it probably reminded him of where he used to take cutoff throws from Pierre

Steve Sax said...

Nibbling on leftovers from a long weekend's worth of grilling. Yum.

Josh S. said...

Still here!

Kyle Baker said...

What all did you throw on the barbie, Sax?

Kyle Baker said...

Josh clearly has strong constitution if he's still there tonight.

Paul said...

Two down. Come on Jeffery one more out.

Paul said...

Josh is there because of the beach balls.

Kyle Baker said...

Rox and Gnats headed for bonus baseball.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

At least Shaggy can get some work in.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

What game are they watching? That was inches from hitting Snyder.

Paul said...

It is bonus baseball bonanza!!!!

karina said...

@Paul Josh is not here, but those are fighting words.

Paul said...

Josh is not here? I thought he was there? Where is Josh?

Kyle Baker said...

Dreeeeeeammmmm Weeeeavuh!

NicJ said...

alright lets end this.

Steve Sax said...

Well done Shaggy!

Paul said...

Woof woof. Go job weavels.

Steve Sax said...

@DB: flank steak with a wicked marinade, bratwurst and Italian hot sausages, and corn on the cob...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Finally. Stunt Reliever #2. Time to win this thang.

NicJ said...

YMCA? what did they run out of songs?

NicJ said...

thanks for nothing furcal.

karina said...

In Josh's defense, from the lovely "1001 rules for my unborn son" http://tinyurl.com/286pmxp

411. At the ballpark, never start the wave. But don’t let it die.

I think it could apply to beachballs

Paul said...

Nice at bat fookie.

karina said...

Hmm, Furcal, you do not swing at the very first pitch when the pitchers has 9.82 ERA

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

To be fair, Raffy hit a bullet.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

BISONIC BOOM!!!

Nostradamus said...

2xWALKOFF!!!!!

Paul said...

Kemp!!!! We make Party!!

NicJ said...

OH SHIT!!!!

THEY ARE TERRIBLE!!!!

WATCH THE LEGS GUYS!!!

Kyle Baker said...

Love the purposely muted home plate celebration.

karen said...

BISON WALK OFF!!!

(No broken legs)

Steve Sax said...

Shit, I blink and Raffy is already out? And now 0-for-5? What up, Raffy?!

Booom Kemp!

karina said...

Bison Power!!!!!!!!! back to back walk offs!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Figures he'd hit one when I bring up his sudden lack of power.

MR.F said...

Woot!

Steve Sax said...

Way to responsibly celebrate at home plate!

Kyle Baker said...

@Sax

I love some flank stank. I have a recipe for a bloody mary flank steak, in fact.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Arizona bullpen: The one thing LA will never boycott.

NicJ said...

bison stole andres walkoff.

karina said...

300!

Nostradamus said...

Back to 1 game back.

Paul said...

Mr. F

how is the weather at Hoth?

Arizona is interviewing Blake about the d backs losing streak.

Nostradamus said...

They'd probably interview the mascot if there were one.

Orel said...

Bisontastic PGT up!

Paul said...

Casey was classy but he looked a bit freaked out by the deal.

Giants Rockies in 11. Glad I passed on tix to see this game.

Steve Sax said...

reading the full GT now...

Mr LA SF at 7.53p: "I'm going to just come out and say this: What the hell happened to Kemp's power?"

funny how these things end up...

Also funny was DB's explanation to Charley Steiner about the advent of computers. I can picture Charley, tie wrapped around his head and torch in hand like that SportsCenter commercial, just drooling out of the side of his mouth trying to process what a computer was all about.

Steve Sax said...

@Dusty, I never thought I'd write this in a GT comment, but...

I'd like to see that recipe.
