COMMENTS: Which way, L.A.? Sunday's Yankees debacle felt like a turning point in the Dodgers' 2010 season — problem is, I can't tell if it's a spark plug or a white flag. (Hold on a sec while I put another quarter in the metaphor generator.) If last night's Bearded Bombadil is any indication, though, the Dodgers may still have some fight in them yet. (Great timing, too, as a visit to the Bay Area without at least a token victory would have been deflating indeed.) If the Dodgers are to take this series tonight — welcome to Elymania, San Francisco! — they'll have to do it without the services of Jonathan Broxton. And since Hong Chih-Kuo closed it out last night, whence the bullpen? Never a dull moment, people!

What? Sandoval is safe? Booooooooooooo
@ Nic, MLASF
Just saw a Tweet that contained this:
"Doc Rivers to retire; Pierce and Allen are opting out"
Hearing anything on that?
How is that not a penalty!
No, wait...
Huh?
Well, Ely is not Maddux when it comes to fielding.
Who is FIFA?
I just heard that Pierce is opting out.
How can they give Sandoval a hit on that? Fucking homer scorekeepers.
"Thats not very good scoring."-Vin
kemp is lucky to get that one.
HAHAHAHAHA!
TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW!!!!
I LOVE YOU BLOBLO!!!
Sandoval AGAIN! I love it!
"The Panda is a pussycat" -Vin
"and the panda is a pussycat" -Vin
I feel my avatar has caused some kind of negative mojo for Pablo.
@Paul: Just me blaming FIFA for the bad call at first.
Shit dusty, you are too fast dude!
Which one of you is snagging tonight's animated gif from MCC?
Tonight's True Dialogue Episode:
Mrs Dusty: [Looks up] What happened?
Dusty: KFP got caught rounding second for the second time in two nights! Hah!
Mrs Dusty: Awwww...[like she felt bad for him]
Dusty: Don't be nice! What did I just say about being nice?
Mrs. Dusty [defensivley] I'm not being nice! I called him a fat Panda fucker earlier!
Ok, I'm getting in a workout, I'll be back.
I'm already looking forward to checking out MCC if this scoreline holds.
@Paul
FIFA = Fédération Internationale de Football Association
The approximate English translation is "What, are you fucking blind?!"
Dusty, your wife sounds as cool as Josh S' wife (whom I met @ Opening Day this year)
That FIFA comment can just stand at the ready for the inevitable official blunder on Friday.
He pulled Sandoval off the bag.
It must not have been a bag of Cheetos.
There's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When ya know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there's no place like home
Time's are changing everyday
We won't get by with the same old ways
No-oooo pulling together will make it right
With help from are friends I know we can right
Cause there's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When you know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there ain't no place like
Better believe it
I said their no place like home
"I mean no place child" .
Delino got swooped.
All right, I'm sticking around for Kemp's AB
Kemp...single?
Thank you, Matt.
Build on this.
@Sax
Mrs Dusty is indeed a delightful person to watch the games with. I just have to remind her to be mean sometimes.
MDIL rocks the house, too, for the record.
DelinoFail on that one... +1 my fellow Son.
Looks like you're running suicides after the game.
You think he is thinking about the official SoSG Free Loney t-shirt?
Let's see if they're dumb and challenge Loney again.
PH for DeWitt. Belly2 hits with the bases loaded.
DeWitt benched. Come on, Belly2!
Having met both Mrs. D and MDIL as I non-partisan (ok, somewhat partisan) observer, I can confirm their high marks in coolness.
DeWitt is quietly failing while Kemp gets all the attention.
Let's see what he does here.
And...it's Caroll...no Belliard.
Naw Fifa is that crazy bartender chick I met at the virgin sturgeon in Sacto a few years ago.
Futbol Federation.....That was in Episode I right?
Why does Molina look like he belongs in Rollerball
@ MR. C - I blame blogger. The comment number on the main page says one thing, on the article another.
I'll now gun for 227, with an over/under of 2.
Back to Back
Belly to Belly
Oh, piss off with the Beat LA already.
Available for any futbol watching on Friday, Mr C?
Beat LA down 3 with the bases loaded. Nice.
Crap Bellio.
Johnson is up.
Well, that was a wealth of missed opportunity.
If we weren't already up 4-1, I'd be REALLY pissed.
That sucked ass.
God damn, we have to do better than that with so many RISPs and so few outs.
I don't know what you mean with this Johnson jokes, didn't get Paul's comment either.
What am I missing?
The seperatist will never win. Don't they know they are a pawn?
I hear Spain won. Yeah!
Ely put himself together after the shaky start...I guess, thoughts?
Isn't Ely at like 200 pitches?
@dusty
It's on. Lucky B's?
Which one Karina?
Most of mine don't make sense if you are sober.
Which one Karina?
Most of mine don't make sense if you are sober.
Who volunteers to explain Johnson to Karina?
Ely realized it was the Giants. Let them try and hit it. I wished I had a better guess but I can't watch the game tonight.
And they turn two!
By the way, I've seen the first Twilight movie over and over and I love it. It's a guilty pleasure.
I don't know anything else about the series.
How many cool points have I just lost?
@ Mr C
Lucky B's works for me if you're cool wit it.
UP JUMPED THE DEVIL!!
@Dusty Baker is something a lady might blush on?
whooo. posting from phone company park
Nobody explain how the Johnson works.
@Karina
-17
@karina
You're probably better off regarding the Johnson comments. It's a somewhat impolite slang term. As for Paul, we usually don't know what he's saying either, but we indulge him. (which one did you mean?)
@Karina
Yes, I suppose a lady may blush on Johnson.
@db
So let it be done.
Dammit.
I want that Really Big Chicken Sandwich combo.
Remember when the Giants pitching coach was Dick Pole? Man good times.
LOL @ Josh S avatar!!! Butch Kuo-siddey and the Kershaw Kid
@Paul @Mr C the Johnson on the 2nd hole/spot comment very early in the thread.
We really need to bench Johnson so this won't happen again.
@HLACK
Pon-Cho Kuo.
Speaking of vampires, Josh is right, Ely is a vampire. A very bad one, like Dracula or Lestat.
Raffy's feeling hot-hot-hot.
@Mr C
Have you looked at what times the matches are on? (Meaning, are they different during this next round or the same.) I haven't had a glance.
Ah, Romo...Dodger fan and giver-upper of the two-run Manny jack back in April.
DB: Still 7 and 11:30.
I would expect Buster to be feeling hot-hot-hot.
Is he still dating Jessica Simpson?
@karina
Yeah...not entirely unrelated to the Jenna Jameson comment from last GT. That's about as far as I'm willing to go in a thread comment.
If they had a text-in poll for consistently shittiest facial hair, Karina's son would win hands down.
Blegh.
Like a Tawainese Cowboy
@dusty
Same times for the quarters.
7/11:30
I'll take missed opportunities to blow the game open over missed opportunities to take the lead or even score at all.
6-3 Rockies, top 9...
@Karina.
I thought Reed was better in the second spot of the lineup. Putting him in the 8 hole well that doesn't make sense.
@Mr C I'm afraid of that Jenna Jameson comment.
This Johnson conversation could have happened with my friends. The difference is they would have explained the more graphic way possible while I'm blushing.
I'm really grateful you haven't said anything.
Troncoso setting up for Breezy? Oh me oh my.
Ted Lilly headed to the Dodgers.
Did I wishful type again?
Thanks Paul.
@Dusty Baker it's ironic my son is fond to sport odd facial hair when I'm so fond of stubble and well groomed beard.
Boy that was a nice catch.
Maybe these two fantastic catches will reinvigorate Kemp. I believe in you man!
Kemp is essentially flipping off Torre with his glove work.
I find it VERY hard to believe there are 40 games Tron didn't appear in.
Kemp catch it? Damn I hate local games.
Torre won't see it though because his finger in buried in his glove. But it's there.
Excellent catch, in fact, Paul. He again didn't get a good jump but caught up with it and gloved it.
Fetal position: ENGAGE!
Ugh, Torre over managing again.
Oh, Breezy, just don't completely screw us over. That is all I ask.
40 games of freedom is the only chance he had to feel good because his arm feels bad.
Why is Torre doing this? No he'll have to have FlatB get 4 outs.
Calling all ill-fitting hats
first pitch wasnt a HR so it was better than i expected.
Wha?!
fo' shizzle my brizzle?
Ming - "Klytus, I'm bored. What play thing do you have for me"
That was GREAT stuff from FB!
First strikeout for Breezy since May 17, according to an MSTi article from earlier today.
Seems like Breezy gets in trouble when he throws his fastball.
Huff and Puff
Sherrill looked great during that AB. Hopefully he's got his act together now.
Does anyone want insurance?
The Gimp is sleeping.
3 run lead against the giants is equal to a 6 run lead against a normal team.
With that being said we could still blow that.
2 hits for Kemp. 2 great catches. All off the bench.
Seems like Kemp has responded.
He just burrelly missed it.
Kemp is 2-for-4? I did not see that coming.
This is all on you now, Nic.
Well I guess Honeycutt is gonna have to wake him up.
Miller to close. Former giant = giant killer.
From MCC -
"STOOPID GAME
BE LESS STOOPID"
I swear, I think it's really a covert MENSA chapter.
HA! totally guessed it.
I can't make closer jokes about Justin Miller!
Justin Miller? Really? This should be... educational?
Miller the Tattooed Lady has a lot of pressure on him right now. I think he will respond well.
Miller will be fine.
What could possibly go wrong?
Nice avatar, Mr LASF.
I don't understand people over MCC. I'm really scared of that place.
But all resumes to: how can anyone be a Giants fan?
thanks for the vote of confidence, VIn.
Miller is wearing Billy Dee Williams' number. He'll be fine.
Works every time.
Like I said.
*le sigh*
Welp...
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!?!?!?!
Blegh.
Get Weaver going.
Josh, how's that bubble city coming along?
We're cool. just get three outs.
ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!
@Mr LASF are you willing to teach courses on how to punch walls?
Everybody be cool.
there's one.
Ok, hopefully that sequence does not repeat, but I'll take an out.
Be cool honey bunny.
Josh! My man in Glendale.
Stay on target.
C'mon, MTL.
So posey has to catch if this goes extras?
Like Fonzie?
nobody say finish him.
Good...
theres two.
Kemp with two hands on the pop up!!
Breaking news from "Roll Call":
Democrats Beat GOP With Late Rally in Congressional Baseball Game
June 29, 2010, 10:42 P.M.
A late rally propelled Democrats past Republicans 13-5 at Tuesday’s 49th Annual Roll Call Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Park.
Is it just me, or does MTL look like Paul Shaffer for some reason?
You know, there are times I really wish we had a closer.
Monday sez "That was a must throw a strike pitch, 3 and 2".
Presented without further comment.
They play a riff from Jordin Sparks' "Tattoo" after every out.
(Does that song have riffs?)
Come on!
just leave him in Joe.
This is one of those times.
GOD DAMN JOE WITH THE OVER MANAGING.
Joe's sick of MTL. He still misses Kevin Eubanks.
Belisario in.
What could possibly go wrong?
Will Posey atone for his late whiff last night?
That was abrupt.
RAFFY FTW LITERALLY
Nope.
Dodgers win!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
BUSTED.
See i told you, just bring in Belisario.
Torre is a genius.
I love tabbed browsing. #McCoveyChronicles
BONSTER!!
Ummmmmm Lets switch Loney and Kemp while we are at it.
Matt Cain 0-8 v Dodgers....me encanta.
Hey we won!!! 20 second delay and all.
Belli with the one pitch save!
Loving this! and screw* productivity because I'm getting tomorrow's game on TV.
*sorry for the foul language
That was mostly satisfying.
I'm saving my obligatory post for the PGT.
why mostly, Dusty Baker?
@Karina
Manny inury
First McC news trickling in:
"Wipeout on ABC
Love that show…"
Anyone stupid enough to like the Gnats seems a perfect candidate to watch this tripe.
PGT up.
Sorry it's so short, but I gotta go get in line for the new Twilight movie. See ya'.
