Hiroki Kuroda (6-5, 3.06) vs. A.J. Burnett (6-6, 4.83).
COMMENTS: It's starting to feel like Groundhog Day with the Dodgers and interleague play, as we carry our 3-10 record into what is thankfully the first of our final two interleague games of the year. Remember, we were in first place on June 11, when we started our second tour of interleague duty, and then dropped back to second as the Angels swept us. We got a respite against Cincinnati while the 28 other teams dueled interleague-style, which got us back to first place. And since then, our next seven interleague games have yielded one dismal win, dropping us back to fourth place in the division. It seems like the AL brings out the worst in the Dodgers--offensive impotence (like last night's game, where we were shutout for the last eight innings), baserunning blunders (in Wednesday's and Thursday's Angels games), and absences from Matt Kemp and Russell Martin (whose 0-fers last night have them batting .257 and .245, respectively).
Someone has got to tell the Dodgers that "interleague" does not mean "exhibition". These games count, and if Erin's transcontinental return to Dodger Stadium (see comments from last night's GameThread) isn't enough to inspire you, we'll have to resort to more destructive means, like punching holes in walls (not that we haven't already tried that (repeatedly)). Until then, I feel like I'm watching the same disastrous day over and over again. Someone run me a bath while I hold this toaster.

Almost 3 hours, right?
NOW BILLY CRYSTAL????
Fox is stupid.
2 questions:
-When does FOX's baseball contract expire?
-Can't we spread out some of this Yankee dick sucking across the rest of the 30 Yankees games FOX is going to show this year?
but Josh, there are just so many dicks involved with the Yankees
Jeter Jeter he's our leader
He's the one who s....
nasty
finish this, HCK
Billy, you haven't been funny in 30 years
Kuo, you rock my world.
@DB
...ucks a peter?
nice work, HC
I'm a peaceful man. Trying not to get into it w Yankmea fans. They are trying my patience.
To paraphrase an old Arsenal chant, LFP do your job!
Exactly FB
lets beat on this bum
Speak English or some approximation of it u dimestore Jamaica queens skank skank sitting by me. Your tramp stamp makes a perfect target for my Nike!
Lots of Rwd Sox fans here pulling for Dodgers and taunting Yankees fans. Bless them.
if she's really from Jamaica, Queens, I would stay away from her. If she's from Long Island (with the tramp stamp being her ID card), commence to stomping. Watch out for the french-tipped fake nails though
HCK back out - always dangerous
and Buck is trying to jinx him
McCarver doing his best to jinx him as well
again, nice camerawork, Fox
and Fox with the unnecessary cut in to the Chi-Chi game
haha nice throw, HCK!
you left your purse behind the mound
man I love it when he's got it working
YAY Karina's son!!
My son's lead off single!
Russ starts things off with a well-hit single
now DeWitt gets him over with a good bunt
and GAAAAARP is up
cripes
and he pops it up
Raffy up to get the job done
attaboy Raffy!!
Big cheer from the farmers market on Furcal's RBI!
Cmon Matty, get him home
yes!! Matty ripped that one!
ha he was nowhere near that!
Kemp has struck out 8 of his last 11ABs...but gets the RBI! 9-4!
What? Matt Kemp got a hit?
Hey, I'm drunk. . .almost.
he sure did - had a nice swing on it too
good inning
who's coming in for the 8th?
PILE ON!
Chan Ho looks like Asian Jeter now. It's freaking me out.
Homiez in my section getting restless. Si se puede is the chant. Some pinstripes ain't getting out of here safely.
Weave in? hmmm
somewhere Eric Collins is counting down the outs
screw you, Eric Collins
@DB, are you and MDIL ready to roll on those Yankee clowns?

uhoh a Breezy sighting
@DB: like a vacuum
dammit, make these bums swing
you don't want to turn the lineup over
Hey, we're winning!
Ugh. Sherrill. How I loathe him.
Giants lost.
Padres won.
Rox just went down 4-0 after a Matsui grand salami in the first inning.
Fasten your seats belts, it's a bumpy road.
How old is that Taco Bell commercial again? I swear I saw it two years ago, at least.
On Tv they call Brox fat "now here comes Jonathan Broxton and all his humanity"
I reached a conclusion: I hate my FOX announcers.
there... I said it.
Big John Studd!
Really, Buck? Broxton is big? I had no clue! You really enlighten the broadcast, Joe. Really. You are a fantastic play-by-play man. Give yourself a pat on the back.
keep going inside on him, JB
holy nasty pitch!
Why???
Jeter jeter jeter jeter jeter
STRIKES OUT
take that, Fox
Derek Jeter is fallible, just like us!
Bacon lovers rejoice!
A two-year old commercial? That's a turrible idea. How Taco Bell gon' make money on that?
OK, closer to drunk.
Meanwhile, Dodgers closer to win!
Boo!Ghana.
Is it a requisite to be obnoxious to call games at Fox?
in that Taco Smell ad, is that the girl from Super Bad?
Jeter did not strike out. He merely chose not to hit the ball for a 5 run home run.
@Karina
Welcome to the dark side!
@karina, yes.
This just in: McCarver would like to bring the "Dem Bums" moniker back.
Chan Ho Park, still with the heart of a butterfly
McCarver lamenting the change of the nickname "dem Bums", 55 years later
Do we have a Final Countdown Guy?
Sorry, not quite that long.
Here's FJL
James Loney: Man of the match.
Oh, wait. . .
i want a Dodger Dog
Wow, they're actually letting Nancy B play
Joe Buck is shocked that there are fans who came early and will leave late.
and there's the "early exit" jab opportunity, but Buck doesn't follow through
FB,
I BBQ'd a bunch of brats. Not the same, but oh, so good.
I had 2. Daughter # 3 had 2. Nephew had 2.
It was a good day.
Because Yank-ee fans never leave early. Right. Everyone wants to get a jump on the muggings at Yankee Stadium Station.
Will Dre or FJL get a day off tomorrow with Pettitte going?
nice work, rb! I want a brat now too!
Someone wake up the Lakers hat-wearing, red jacketed Asian guy behind home plate. He's about to fall over to his left.
Fuck Buck.
No, Buck, I really want to hear you talk about Lady Gaga! That's the only reason why I watched this broadcast to begin with!
dammitall how many times will you talk about Strasburg?
Has anyone told McCarver to shut the fuck up yet????
Oh, that's right.
Next week, Joe Buck lives his man-crush on Strasburg.
Look on the bright side, the odds of one of them fainting due to high exposures of Strasburg are very high next week.
This USPS - Toy Story promo makes me uncomfortable.
FB,
I can send you one, but you live in the city that never sleeps. I'm sure you can get one that's fresher, but not made with Dodger love.
What's the name of that amusement park?
Fuck McCarver.
Let's go Brox
Ugh. Another non-Dodger related emotional roller coaster ride. Sorry everybody.
@karina:
The Santa Monica Pier. I grew up around there when there was a true "penny arcade."
@karen thanks! :)
That shore is a big gold chain around this Yankees hitter
@rb I think it's worth repeating
Does anyone else's audio sound like it's in a cave?
Pena K
I remember the Pier having a big carousel. It really was amazing. I hope it's still there. I haven't been in forever.
That was a wicked googly.
thanks rb! Know that I would probably eat it if it got here
Joe Buck is definitely reclining easy up therein the booth
Has Buck been tanning? Is he trying out for Jersey Shore?
MLASF,
Carousel is still there and so is one of the arcades.
McCarver says this game is over. The only positive thing he's said about the Dodgers since the broadcast started.
K fucking A-fraud.
Good to know, rbn. Good to know.
Thanks, Rbnlaw.
Is still working?
Ox, it'd be awesome of you K A-Rod.
Buck is dating Sloopy, or whatever her name is.
goddamn ump - that was a strike
Buck snuck in a Manny joke. It just won't end with these putzes, will it?
that's your walk, ump
Fuck all of them.
Rivera would have gotten some of those for strikes.
Fucking incompetent umpire.
Robinson Caruso up.
wow what a stop from Raffy!
RAFFY FTW LITERALLY!!!
. . .and down.
there's no way Jamey Carroll even gets to that. Luckily he was playing 2nd
Something tells me that the rest of you do not have ATT U-Verse.
. . .and FUCK THE YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck fox and fuck the Yankees.
good win, everybody
lets get the series tomorrow
Woooo! Now we're guaranteed 6 more wins against some of the NL's best!
The best 4 hours this week!
Didn't FOX own the Dodgers at one point?
Nice win ladies and gents. Sorry to miss the GT, but I heard the game from the road. Dare we hope for a series win tomorrow?
@rbn/karina from 7:54
That's my neighborhood!
Hah! Now we own Fox!
Mr. C:
My mom was a 1948 grad of SaMoHi.
@rbn
Go Vikes, then!
I was minding my own biz, taking some post-game pics, and yankmes fan (and his young son no doubt!) started hassling me. I stared him down. He flipped me off. He was nearly a dead ringer for Joba Chamberlain, so despite Mrs Dusty's protests I said shut the fuck up, Joba. He kept eyin me and I didn't backbdown. Just kept saying STFU Joba! some homiez around me moved I'm and had my back. They joined in with "Joba fatass" chants and dude split quickly.
Back to tranquilo Dusty. I didn't start it.
Headed home now.
Good work Dusty.
Why would anybody start shit in someone elses house? (I am aware this question is rhetorical with some Yanks fans.)
It's beyond me why someone would do that just out of a sense of self preservation. But, people are idiots as history has shown.
And the whole setting a poor example in front of your kid thing, too...
True true mr F. sad state of affairs these days.
Rox lose. We gain.
Bridegrooms up in dis bish!!!!!
Celebrating at my local MEX cantina.
Si se Yankees suck!
Dusty, you rock. Way to hold ground!
Oh yeah, HFYPGT up.
See you tomorrow at the Stadium.
