Clayton Kershaw (6-3, 3.13) vs. Mike Leake (5-0, 2.68).
COMMENTS: The Dodgers being able to launch into a long Harang is one thing; but plugging a Leake is a whole 'nother story. The Reds' rookie has 12 starts, all but one lasting six innings or more, and not a single loss to his sterling major league record. The good news, though, is that that one short outing, his worst of the year, was his last outing, which lasted 4.1 IP and saw Leake give up 5 ER against San Francisco. And then there's that small thing called the Minotaur on the mound for the Dodgers. Let's see if we can open up the floodgates again.

What's the weather forecast? A 2.5 hour halftime really did the trick last night.
Furcal 6

Kemp 8
Blake 5
DeWitt 4
Kershaw 1
I'd like to see DeWitt contribute tonight. Going 0-4 on a night where the other starters combined for 18 hits (with Reed Johnson's pinch hit making 19) has to suck.
So about last night's game, maybe Torre trotted Kuroda out not just to pitch that single inning but based on the performance of that inning, HAD to pull him out? I mean, who knows what would've happened if Kuroda went out there and had a simple 1-2-3 inning?
I think he was done after 5 innings, no matter what. According to Dylan Hernandez on Twitter last night, everybody thought that another cell was going to hit at 11:15, so the plan was just to get the 5th in. The game and Kuroda's performance would be official.
Then, the rain didn't show and they had to keep playing.
Dodgers are Looooooooooooosers!!! Always getting beat up by the Angels. They must be very intimidated.
The Dodgers have more wins than losses, so your argument is invalid.
LAW's comments are invalid..1 world series title does not a awesome team make when compared to 6 by the Dodgers. Regardless the Angels and their fans suck...
Angels are Looooooooooooosers!!! Always getting beat up by the Brewers. They must be very intimidated.
I guess it must have felt great to sweep the Dodgers...and not gain any ground on the Rangers.
Ah, Mike Leake, Mister-I-don't-need-no-minor-league-experience.
Running through his PitchFX data from this year, he had a sudden unexplained 2 mph drop on his sinker in the last game over his previous starts this year (89 from a pretty consistent 91+) while getting knocked around. Perhaps a little rookie burnout or even an injury is lurking in there somewhere?
Look! Another one, Josh!
Wow, that's some profile...
Mr. C, would you like the record to reflect that there weren't any until you noticed that there weren't any?
@Josh S
Maybe it's like buying a new car and then suddenly seeing it everywhere.
"Wow, that's some profile..."
It's like a Googlebot started a blog about each thing it found on the internet.
I read the list quickly and thought "that's an awful lot of blogs about Stephen King's bowels"
Profiles? LAW? Googlebot blogs? What have I missed?
@MR.F
Just speculating about our troll while trying not to make direct eye contact.
OHHH. I didn't even see that.
Looks like a laundry lists
So, last Friday I sat in Baseline Field 45. It's basically Box Club seats without the Box Club access and free food. (And a horrible view, to boot.)
Today, the Dodgers sent me a survey asking what I thought about my Baseline Box Club experience, including my opinion of the Club and its amenities.
Slight disconnect there, methinks.
Hellur everyone...how ru durrin?
Once again I will be living vicariously catching the game through this thread and your comments. *SIGH*
Hey MB!
Damn, that's a good look you got goin' on.
I had a new self portrait made. Glad you like it!
Double-A...
HONK HONK
"Another mess-up in billing!"
...M-C-O!
I don't like the snide look on Leake's face in his Gameday photo.
Here we go...
I've asked this before, but why does Steiner consider the game "underway" after the first out? So, if we score 5 runs before an out is recorded, the game still hasn't started?
Leake works fast.
Dre keeps the inning alive.
Giants have already avenged their loss to the lowly O's.
1 hit per inning so far, otherwise Leake is looking good against us again.
Oops. Gnomes double.
I know it's early but CK seems to be under control
Epale, everyone!
Glad the Minotaur got out harmless of a lead off double.
karina reported the third out before Gameday did.
that looked like a screen pass
Nice, I'll take it.
@Josh my Gameday is faster than yours tonight
Take it out manny
Dre with the two out single!
thats a shame
"Manny Ramirez grounds out sharply"
Don't you think those kind of descriptions are sort of cruel?
Seems like E is heating up, anyway.
Hola from San Jose. I had trouble logging on up here, so I had to change my screen name to LakersAreWinners. So how we doing today?
the mystery is solved. it was neeebs
That explains the extraneous Os.
Neeebs, I don't buy it.
I'm changing my name to angelsarelosers and avatar to chili davis
Josh: You know I'm an E man, not an O man. Now if I was an I man, I'd be living in the middle east somewhere.
Bases loaded for the Lone-Dogg
No GIDP FJL!
FJL!!!
King james RBI double!
Dammit Kempy
Well, at least we got 2 runs that inning off of Mr. Double.
On the board!
Manny D!!!
Damn, Manny with the defensive action
Hey, we're winning! Cool!
Whoa says Bowa
Russel Martin with the 'stache
GONE!
Boom!
Holy shit, Andre just drove in a run.
Way to go Andre! Hit so hard, even Charley got the call right
Welcome to Cincinnati, Where the Dodgers Come Alive!
Is that 4-0 or 5-0?
Uh oh
Clayton's in a bit of a jam.
Dusty's mad
No more Rolen, and no more Dusty.
Voice of reason Dusty Baker, ladies and gentlemen.
Am I on crack or was that the Violent Femmes being played on the stadium organ
I missed Dre's homer and At Bat doesn't have the clip up yet.
Epale all!
Just getting in from a Big Daddy Kane concert. How are things going in Cincy?
so what is Collins going to do to keep his no-series-wins streak alive? has he started counting down outs yet?
eep sorry Casey. that's my fault
woop! nice work, Clayton
Nice outing from Clayton.
How was that an error? It seemed like a hard hit ground ball base hit to me.
Collins you sonovabitch!
"6 outs to get"
you can go to hell
Hilarious.
Why did Kershaw hit? Ugh.
wow Tronno sure put it on the Padregs this afternoon
looks like Clayton got his summer haircut before he left town
ugh Blakey
that ball took a late jump
why Joe, why?
Darned errors, they're costing Clayton a shot at his first career complete game.
FB, Steiner said that Rusell was giving haircuts during the rain delay. He cut Clay and Casey's hair.
haha nice! did anybody get any words cut in their hair?
christ i know you gotta play the averages and all, but I don't like the revolving door of relievers.
cmon, baby! strikes!
I guess 2 pitches is the same as not using Belisario.
I know, Torre's managing of the bullpen is a fucking crime
Why must this always be so damn difficult?
YES!!! 6 unassisted!
RAFFY!!!
I like using Kuo now. Then he'll be available Friday.
HeartattacK
Jamey Carroll had a look on his face like "I wish I could do something like that"
Did Russ use the haircut trimmings to make his new mustache?
gone! Manny makes it 6-1!
Nice! Manny clubs another run in for good measure.
ManRam's heating up for Boston
FJL keeps it going with a soft single!
let's get Matty going
he keeps pulling off picthes
I hesitate to get excited, but it sure seems like Manny's getting ready to ride into Boston and shut everybody up.
good call there, Psycho
Josh and Joe thinking alike (RE using Kuo tonight). Is that good or bad?
woof!
ouch
There goes Kuo's streak.
We shouldn't be wasting our pitchers with the low-ass ERAs when we have a 5-run cusion.
I want Rhodes' streak tomorrow!
Matty finishes it off!
1st place all up in this bish.
and Collins wins his first series of the season, in mid June
First place!
Collins Curse has gone ghost
I hope Dusty has gotten to enjoy these last two days, wherever he is
Dusty will be back shortly. Possibly as soon as the PGT.
Dusty's still moping in his corner due to England's loss-er, draw. Though he'll have to make room for me if the Lakers lose tomorrow.
PGT? what's that?
Dodgers sign Leon Landry.
Shouldn't our friend be a Clippers fan?
Ha! Trick question!
Moyer beat the Yankees!!! They are worth a multi game ticket package.
So i am watching ESPN "Los Angeles" and they lead in with three east coast baseball games. None of tem involved the Dodgers.
It seemed rather quiet here today. I have a feeling it is going to blow up tomorrow with activity.Dodgers for the sweep in the morning and Lakers for the gold at night. Should be one hell of a day. Till the morrow I'll bid everyone Ciao.
