Vicente Padilla (1-1, 6.67) vs. Carsten Charles Sabathia (8-3, 3.68).
You may not have heard much about this, but apparently there's another MLB team in New York (besides the Mets). And this lesser-known, fledgling squad is coming by our stadium for a visit this weekend, a fact that the Dodgers marketing team has kept under the radar. But since they don't come out to Dodger Stadium often, they must not be anyone of note, right? Otherwise we might have heard about this somewhere? Maybe?
So game 1 against this club is tonight, and there may be a couple of extra people interested in seeing this other team (they're starting a pitcher named Carsten! How cute!), but frankly I'm finding out about this contest so late that I don't know what to expect. Hopefully this visiting squad at least knows the rules of baseball.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 290 of 290good all around player but has known to be a little soft, he is young though.
watching the jints/redsox also. woman in crowd had sweet dodgers jacket on and all sorts of Blue gear. telestrator person scratched over her face. how rude.
would be nice, but i hadnt heard anything about that.
we will see.
I wonder if the Yankee fans climaxed.
If a run scores, my fist...
well, you get the rest.
Sons are conspicuously absent tonight. I'm breaking into their Scotch.
My walls are safe!!!
...for now...
Scotch on the rocks
Ain't no big surprise
Humanahyeaha!!
Don't mind If I do. Jettison the rocks, though.
Vin said "Joe-buh" instead of "Jah-buh" re Joba Chamberlain. Heh.
I can't imagine how cathartic it would be for Torre to light up Joba, considering all the stress the team gave Joe over handling him.
all that work for a flyout
Ugh. Two full counts and nothing to show for it.
well that was entirely frustrating.
Three full counts and nothing. That just sucks.
this is just the height of frustration. i expected our pitching to stink. but come on, guys- how ahrd is it to hit a few balls at home?
I guess Rivera has to give up a run sooner or later.
i guess a rod's sister has to give it up sooner or later.
i think i would have felt better about this if it were a blowout.
I know this is the game we are supposed to lose, but it just kills you to know that we could have won this.
^ that's what i told a rod's sister
HAYOOOOO
i wonder if Rivera is going to throw any cutters tonight.
Put your rally caps on and load your guns. Someone is getting shelled tonight.
They better start some kind of chant alluding to the 2001 World Series.
That jersey better be a jinx tonight.
There went our best chance to tie this game.
wait...i've seen this one before...
#KempFail
Couldn't they have called for an intentional strikeout to save us time? Stupid Kemp
Maybe Kemp should date Kate Hudson. She knows how to put a spark under ballplayers.
Kemp's swing looked TERRIBLE in slo-mo.
Mo made kemp look pretty stupid there.
not that it's that hard.
An intentional strikeout...that's FUNNY, Spanky.
Score it an IK?
Cocks Gun
call padilla out to throw at the umpire.
Points to temple
Shoots
Two players thrown out of a game that has ended in the span of three games. That has to be some kind of record, right?
Boy, Loney's pissed.
its good to see some fight in the guys. In the dugout, not in the batters box obviously.
Fail! Dodger Fan
Loney looked over to the dugout and they must have signaled to him that the pitch was low, so then he started really jawing at the ump. The pitch did seem low, as did several of the pitches in the last several Ks recorded. Pitch tracker showed this as well.
Gameday says the last two strikes were out of the zone. Is it just me, or do umps widen the zone for closers?
I can't get too mad about this one. Hitting was weak, but it's not like CC and Rivera are scrubs.
Umps widen the zone for Rivera.
A Rod's sister...never mind.
If I have to hear Sterling's call of the A-Rod homer, I will punch multiple holes into my wall. Out of all the broadcasters I hate, there's a special place in my heart for Sterling.
Only two more games of Frank McCourts "This is all I can afford" interleague tour.
Steve Lyons a career .252 hitter is mad that the dodgers couldnt get any hits off the highest paid pitching staff in baseball.
Steve Lyons thinks that a lack of hits equals a lack of hustle. Now, dropping your pants, that requires tremendous amounts of hustle.
But whats the point of throwing players out when the game is finished. It is not like they get fined like the NBA. Umpire Ego?
I count an absence of bullpen implosions and baserunning boners as a win.
No Sons means no PGT. I guess we crash here for the time being.
if jeter says its a balk, then it must be.
I was planning on having a nice cigar if we won. Good thing I didn't cut it. Going back in the humidor.
Stupid Yankees buying all the good players, this is an outrage and a crime to major league sports. All they do is throw money at players so of course they are going to win with a payroll that massive.
Now if you excuse me i am going to go watch my DVR of the Lakers game 7 win of the NBA finals.
What!?! No that's totally not the same thing.
GO TO HELL, YOU FUCKING BOSTON BASTARDS I HATE YOU GO TAKE A FUCKING RIDE IN A WHEELCHAIR
apparently we are the only NL west team that cant beat boston.
Angels aren't doing much against the Rox either.
I hate interleague.
Toying with the idea of turning down the TV and listening to Rick and Charley this weekend. I don't think I can take two games of national "broadcasters" washing the Yankees balls.
So much hate in the comments. We need love,hope and ahh whats the point. FUCK YOU MCCOURTS
Props to vPad tonight BTW. Strong outing.
Torre just said a couple of the ump calls were terrible. Good for him!
Feel the hate, Spanky, feel the hate.
Here's a simulation of what's to come tomorrow.
Buck: Boy, this Dodger lineup is no match for the Yankees' superior pitching.
McCarver: And the pitching for New York has just been stellar, while the rotation for LA is a complete mess. They just DFA'd their number five starter, and sure they got a good outing out of Padilla yesterday, but you can't expect this staff to hold up all year long.
Buck: And the thing is, with the ownership issue, and the divorce, the Dodgers cannot afford to sign anybody of real significance.
McCarver: The exact opposite of the Yankees.
Buck: Right, two polar opposites facing each other today.
I'm having some more of Sax's Oban.
I hate it when people refer to Padilla as "Dodgers opening day starter"
always feels like they are just trying to stick it to us.
Amendment to MLASF's dialogue:
McCarver: [Spends ten minutes talking about Manny's steroid issue without acknowledging what's going on in the game]
Maybe we can go over to Vins house with some beers and have him do a personal telecast while watching on the tube
i doubt Vin even watches the games when he is not calling them.
We can go sing some showtunes with him maybe.
I always thought Vin studied ball players during his free time.
Even better
Ugh. Rox take the lead on Anaheim.
Haha, like he is calling the opposing teams families. Thats how he is getting all these personal stories.
I can't wait to here all the stuff he has on Edwin Jackson when he pitches against (or maybe for, who knows) us again. He will have a lot of material, like how Jackson was born in West Germany.
Maybe Vin will tell that cigarette smoking story again that he told twice tonight.
[Not complaining re VIn, just sayin'!]
I would sell my grandmother out if Vin would call me to talk.
Joe Beimel looks scroungier than ever.
Lost Angels of Fullerton down to their last out, down by one run. But tying run at 3rd.
OC loses. Rockies win.
Looks like we dropped the Angels down to our level. Losing is contagious.
I've got the Rally Monkey in a gimp outfit and I'm fiddin' to go to town.
I just got home to find the Dodgers losing helplessly and Dusty Baker drinking my Oban.
Pour me a glass, Dusty, neat.
@Sax
I thought I could just refill the bottle with diet root beer and you'd never notice.
If I have to see that MLB All Start Game commercial one more time I'm going to kick the neighbor's dog. ANAHEIM IS NOT ON THE BEACH!
I should just put myself to bed.
I like that I can claim to be hooking up with the Rally Monkey while it is wearing a gimp outfit, but Sax ignores that and is more concerned that I'm into his good Scotch.
Hey, I'm cool with you spanking the monkey. Wait, that didn't come out quite right.
See you guys tomorrow morning for the football game.
I was almost asleep but I realized I forgot to point out what a tiny head Zack Greinke has.
Just watched Clayton Kershaw come up on stage for the Torre-Koufax benefit.
I love Kershaw.
What a day. Just got home.
Sorry for the multiple posts. The 3G went down so much that I couldn't count my post.
Dodgers eeeh too tired to think about them.
Paul-
Did any Yankee fans get their heads pounded in at the game? Or their face shoved in a sinkful of poo?
@Paul, I was lurking here at 2:30a. Sorry I missed you when I left the bar!
