Game 103 Thread: July 30 @ Giants, 7p

Carlos Monasterios (3-2, 3.30) vs. Tim Lincecum (10-4, 3.12).

COMMENTS: How did it come to this? The Dodgers, clinging to their NL West lives, starting a crucial series in San Francisco with a fifth starter who's recovering from a foul ball to the head. The bullpen, already stretched thin from last night's disheartening loss in San Diego. The offense, not having scored more than three runs in a win in the last 14 games. Oh, and Lincecum starting for the Giants. Can we rough up Timmeh two games in a row? Will Dusty tell him to wash his hair? The Game Thread will reveal all.

Kemp is in my doghouse and will not receive a nickname for tonight's game.

Nostradamus said...

We may not win the division.

We may not even win the wild card.

All I ask is that the universe maintain some semblance of balance by allowing us to crush the hopes and dreams of every Giants fan, be they man, woman, or child.

Kyle Baker said...

@Mr C

And that Blake and DeWitt bat next to each other.

Nostradamus said...

Yes, that too.

Steve Sax said...

I don't get the Wanted reference...

Kyle Baker said...

Testing...1..2..Wash your hair, Timmeh!!!...testing...

MR.F said...

@Steve Sax
There are so many references I don't seem to get anymore.

Nostradamus said...

@Sax

Yeah, me neither.

I want that light table, though.

Kyle Baker said...

Mr F, you really need to get out more!

rbnlaw said...

All I wanted was 2 out of 3 in Sam Diego. But no, couldn't have that, could I?

You go fuck yourselves San Diego.

No, on to the municipality by the body of water and across from Oakland.

Choke on your faux gras. Fake grass? Who eats that shit?

Surly. Feeling mighty surly.

Steve Sax said...

Just talked with Orel: the Wanted reference is the "Game Thread".

Damn, he's good.

Nostradamus said...

@rbnlaw

Everyone's a bit krusty tonight. This thread is the left field pavilion of the soul.

Steve Sax said...

Rbnlaw, ladies and gentlemen!

Kyle Baker said...

The LFP of the soul...I love it! I resemble that!

WASH YOUR HAIR, TIMMEH!!!

karen said...

I'm with Mr.C. If we can't have a winning team then by god neither can the gnats. The Dodgers purpose in life tonite is to cause maximum pain and suffering to all asshole gnat fans

Kyle Baker said...

Then I sure hope that reports - RUMORS - re Gnats going for Bautista from Blue Jays are patently false.

Kyle Baker said...

John Soo Hoo pics being highlighted on pre-game right now.

Kyle Baker said...

EK essentially just called modern Gnats fans pussies. Still tha man, EK!

Kyle Baker said...

On the sofa, Vinny!

Kyle Baker said...

"These two organizations are back to hating each other." -Lyons after a Dodgers and Gnats hitting each others' batters montage in the pre-game.

Fred's Brim said...

Epale, everyone!

and Happy Halloween!

Josh S. said...

I'm at the Camarillo Outlets, Vinny!

spank said...

That is why these teams blow. With there alternate jerseys or changing them every other year.

NO TRADITION

Fred's Brim said...

keep working him, Raffy!

Fred's Brim said...

great AB, kid

will that be the last good one we have tonight?

Fred's Brim said...

why are they booing Dre?
Because Manny is out and they have to boo somebody?

Fred's Brim said...

Raffy steals it

OP must have been interfered with or something

Kyle Baker said...

Cut your hair, Timmeh!!!

Kyle Baker said...

It's like a stadiumful of traffic cones. I have to adjust my TV screen.

Kyle Baker said...

Alright, JFL, remember you're away from home. #HRHint

Fred's Brim said...

Dre grounds out on ball 4

FJL with Raffy at 3rd, 2 outs

Kyle Baker said...

Dre just looks utterly out of sorts.

Fred's Brim said...

James is clean shaven tonight

ugh

shoulda kept the stubble

Kyle Baker said...

If I'm manager of a struggling team, I issue guidelines that go as such: HIT THE FUCKIN BALL. DON'T STATE AT GOD DAMNED STRIKE THREE!

Seriously, with a man on 3B and inability to generate runs lately, how do you just stare at strike 3?

Fred's Brim said...

@DB TVs should come with those Photoshop filters where you can change every instance of a color to another color

Fred's Brim said...

where do you think MonstaCheerios starts next year once we own him unconditionally? Will he be in ABQ to work on being a full-time starter?

Fred's Brim said...

so what are people drinking tonight? I am getting rid of some crappy Trader Joes beers

Kyle Baker said...

@FB

Yu mean TJ's brand beer? I kinda dig their Dos XX ripoff beers cause they're almost the same and cheaper.

Fred's Brim said...

damn - that came back across the plate

Kyle Baker said...

@FB

And was low.

spank said...

Spanky Combo

IceHouse, Steel Reserve

Got the light popcorn tambien

Fred's Brim said...

somebody better issue a warning! nobody, but NOBODY, hits the Beard

Kyle Baker said...

Does the Spanky special go Ice House>Steel Reserve or the other way around?

Josh S. said...

I have some Firestone Pale waiting for me whenever the hell I get home.

Fred's Brim said...

run Casey run!

Kyle Baker said...

I purchased some Sam Adams pale ale to have sometime over the weekend. Anyone had it yet?

Kyle Baker said...

Oh shit. TBLA just reported that Theriot was pulled from the Cubs game early. Please no!

Nostradamus said...

@FB

Arrogant Bastard Ale in hand.

spank said...

Always Icehouse first.

Steel Reserve to knock me the fuck out.

BTW...Head and Shoulders TIMMEH

Fred's Brim said...

that was a tie

Fred's Brim said...

do something, Scotty P

spank said...

Swing You Fuck!

MR.F said...

Karina's son!

Kyle Baker said...

mama said knock you out...steel reserve gonna knock you out!

Fred's Brim said...

@DB it says "Simpler Times" on the can. I have 2 lagers and 3 pilsners to work though. They taste like a $2.99-a-sixpack beer

MR.F said...

@DB (re Theriot),
That doesn't sound good.

spank said...

Here comes the Posey love fest

Fred's Brim said...

damnation

NicJ said...

well, all downhill for here.

NicJ said...

see what happens when you actually swing the bat.

Kyle Baker said...

@FB

Sounds like something you want to - and can afford to - work through about 14-15 during a game.

Fred's Brim said...

Pat Burrell can go straight to hell

Kyle Baker said...

What is this strange "swing the bat" concept you speak of?

Nostradamus said...

@SRM

There is a certain symmetry to the beer selection.

Fred's Brim said...

@DB they are actually pretty high in the alcohol department (6.2% for the lager!)

Kyle Baker said...

Burrell can come over here and suck my ass and THEN go straight to hell.

Fred's Brim said...

I hear he's good at that

Kyle Baker said...

Now Rosenthal says "Theriot still a #Cub. Just a double switch."

Fred's Brim said...

*wipes brow*
phew!

Kyle Baker said...

RAFFY GOD DAMNED FURCAL!

spank said...

Homerun Fools!

Fred's Brim said...

Raffy!!!!
that was a bomb!

Fred's Brim said...

get that feeling again, Dre!

spank said...

Get a perm TIMMEH!

Fred's Brim said...

that'll work!

Kyle Baker said...

Wash your skanky hair, Timmeh!!!!

spank said...

Chente looked like he wanted to bean someone

Fred's Brim said...

haha Burrell looked like a beer-league softball player running after that one

Kyle Baker said...

Burrell looked like a beer leaguer with feces all over his face.

Nostradamus said...

Who knew all we had to do to get our offense going was to face Timmeh.

Kyle Baker said...

That was one of the lamest attempts at a slide I've seen. Ethier, man up!

Fred's Brim said...

that's twice now.

Timmy might want to bat right-handed next time up

spank said...

Rancho Notgoingtogetmyhopesupiendo!

Fred's Brim said...

just a fly ball, Joyce

Fred's Brim said...

Theriot could have done that

MR.F said...

Come on BDW! Hit a Grand Slam right before you get traded.

Fred's Brim said...

can Russ do it again?

Fred's Brim said...

of course not

NicJ said...

Outside of raffys solo shot that inning was a gigantic fail.

Fred's Brim said...

what's the score? feels like we are down 4-2

spank said...

Toma! Sit down

Fred's Brim said...

ha! I love the mail-order-bride story

Fred's Brim said...

how the hell do you let that get into your bio?

spank said...

Smoke another one Timmeh

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

MLASF is the house-ish. Had a little dental work done, and feeling light headed. Though I'm just happy that the boys are winning, and yet saddened we've reached the quota for two runs so fast.

Also, per Jon Heyman, Cubs pulled Theriot. I'm not happy about what's coming.

Fred's Brim said...

howdy, MLASF! what did you have done?

Fred's Brim said...

damn - so close by Raffy

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Just had to have a problem tooth removed. Might have been wisdom.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I do not kid when I say this, but the first thing I said when I woke up was, "Did the Dodgers get Ted Lilly?"

Fred's Brim said...

did they gas you or did you go for the slug-of-whiskey-and-bite-on-a-stick method?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Sedation. Very quick, and very potent.

Fred's Brim said...

what the eff

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Dammit, Monny.

spank said...

Bush League. Come on Mang!

Fred's Brim said...

haha
Dr. Tooth: "He's still delirious from the gas, better call his wife to come pick him up"

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

And Kemp. Dammit Kemp and Monny.

Fred's Brim said...

cmon fucker, end the inning so I can get another beer

Fred's Brim said...

this ump is no good

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm confused. Pitch 3 was the same as Pitch 5.

Fred's Brim said...

ugh

Nostradamus said...

Pissah.

Fred's Brim said...

meat
ball

spank said...

BOOOOOOO!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This is why I want Ted freakin' Lilly.

karen said...

With those ridiculously bright orange jerseys on the hated ones look like Cal trans workers on crack

NicJ said...

Can't score. Can't pitch. Can't field. Can't win.

Nostradamus said...

If we lose by one, Matty gets to wear this one.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

One of the most bizarre things this year is that, despite all of the Year of the Pitcher stuff, many aces of before are struggling like crazy. Lincecum, Greinke (tiny head), Oswalt, Sabathia, Beckett.

NicJ said...

And now lincecum will dominate the rest of the game.

Kyle Baker said...

Pods wears his socks properly. I respect that.

spank said...

Yay Podsednik

Fred's Brim said...

balls

didn't need that with 2 outs

spank said...

Good Hustle Raffy. I like that shit

Kyle Baker said...

So glad KFP didn't land on Raffy.

Good hustle. Cant complain re that.

NicJ said...

We would have stranded him at third anyways.

Kyle Baker said...

Right on Spanky.

Fred's Brim said...

currently enjoying: Utz Crab Chips
currently despising: the Giants

spank said...

He tried to spark the team Dusty.

Monsters offspeed shit moves like a Mofo!
Check it out

Fred's Brim said...

so is that it for Monster? he's gotten through 4 innings and is over 60 pitches. he's gotta be tired. Lets bring in Jeff Weaver for 3 ineffective innings

Fred's Brim said...

is Roberto Kelly their 1st base coach?

Fred's Brim said...

and there's Jeffy warming up

Fred's Brim said...

Timmy's gotten into a groove

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Buster Olney says Cubs/Dodgers are close to deal.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I hate the reanimated corps of Huff.

Fred's Brim said...

gah giants fans make me sick

spank said...

That was a major league play by Loney holding the runner

Fred's Brim said...

please no deal with the Cubs. those guys really arent going to help anything

Nostradamus said...

God. The Rockies' hitting woke up all at once. 17-2 with more baseball to play.

Fred's Brim said...

I was about to thank Joe for leaving Monster in for this inning, but maybe that wasn't a good idea

Josh S. said...

I'm home.

Duff Gardens! Hurrah!

*head hits the horn*

spank said...

Are the Cubs the only team we can trade with? Seems like it. Chicago anyways.

NicJ said...

This looks like a team that has given up. Body language sucks out there.

Fred's Brim said...

how is it only 3-2?

Josh S. said...

I hope they're getting Zambrano. Maybe he'll scare the shit out of everyone so they start winning.

Fred's Brim said...

i wish we would just hold steady with what we got, and sell by the end of August if things are still bad. Ted Lilly isnt going to change anything. If it means we have him for the next year or so, then maybe, but I hope we don't give up much for him

NicJ said...

I see the Rockies score but this game I'm watching right now feels like a bigger beatdown.

Fred's Brim said...

*sigh*

Fred's Brim said...

there's a 22 year old girl from Philly with a 5-year old son cheering for daddy right now

Neeebs (The Original) said...

We already scored our quota. Done!

BTW, watching the game on Fox-Mexico.

Fred's Brim said...

@Josh - that would be interesting. He's owed a lot of money, though, right?

NicJ said...

FB, could not agree with you more. Lilly ain't fixing this team. We have underachieved all year.

Nostradamus said...

Fuck you, sandwich boy.

Fred's Brim said...

@Neeebs I think that's called Foxico

Josh S. said...

Excuse me a moment...

WAKE UP, ASSHOLES! YOUR SEASON IS SLIPPING AWAY AND YOU'RE STANDING THERE WITH YOUR THUMBS IN YOUR TAINTS!!!.

Fred's Brim said...

a taint-thumbing would be more pleasurable than this

Fred's Brim said...

me too, karen

Nostradamus said...

Nostradamus said...

I'm gettin' kinda ornery.

Fred's Brim said...

and to think, I recommended Weaver for the 7th inning/second setup man role when we were running Sherril/Trashner/TrashMiller/etc out there to lose games

Fred's Brim said...

@MR C - me too. More beer will help that, right?

Nostradamus said...

@fb

He's still the best of the four you just mentioned.

Which is fucking pathetic.

spank said...

Fuck That. I lived through 1988. I was fucking there. This ain't shit man. Fuck You Giants. Here me FUCKING ROAR!!!!!!!

Fred's Brim said...

ach why couldn't that have been Burrell out there

NicJ said...

if its any consolation, the giants aint winning shit either.

NicJ said...

Pods finally gets a hit, with no men on.

spank said...

Pinch Hit for this Fuck

Fred's Brim said...

you got any magic in that bat, Dre?

Nostradamus said...

Spanky's unbounded rage is, by far, the most entertaining thing about this game.

You gotta redeem your week of futility here Dre.

NicJ said...

what is that like 18 K's looking?

Fred's Brim said...

christ

Nostradamus said...

That was awful, Andre.

Fred's Brim said...

cmon James, just a hit, get us closer

NicJ said...

fuck this team.

Nostradamus said...

We blow.

spank said...

No Fucking Heart

NicJ said...

My hopes for this team went from win the division, to win the WC, and is now closing in on "well maybe we can just knock the giants out of the playoffs later"

spank said...

Remember Brett Butler full of cancer trying his hardest to even run to first base. Look at these fools barely able to get the bat off their shoulders

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Of our seven hits, six have come from the front four, with Raffy providing half of that. That's pathetic. You get your leadoff men on, and that's all you can muster? That really is just sad. One hit from the back four.

karina said...

Epale everyone!

turned on the tv when my son struck out on the 6th,after a looooooooooong day.

Listened to Vin when I was taking a shower and thought about drowning.

Was very hungry, since my last meal was at 6:30 am but I'm not anymore.

This is my fault.I'm sure.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'M GOING TO MURDER AUBREY HUFF

Nostradamus said...

Go to hell, Audrey.

NicJ said...

Just kicking around the lifeless corpse of the dodgers.

NicJ said...

At what age did huff draw this picture of Bonds at ATT park?

Dude had to have been like 17.

Nostradamus said...

Epale karina.

There's no way I'm holding you responsible for this garbage.

Fred's Brim said...

what the hell? how is Huff any good at all? He isnt, so what's going on? Somebody needs to explain this to me

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

We desperately need some Karina to keep us sane. I know I do. I'm quickly losing hope with every hit Huff gets.

NicJ said...

Huff's back on the juice he was using in the tampa years.

Nostradamus said...

@fb

Yeah, he's not.

So...

Fred's Brim said...

is he one of those guys with a medical exemption for HGH? Or is Balco back in business?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Maybe Huff is one of these guys with ADHD.

karina said...

@Mr LASF this is just the bumpy side of the road. Let's not freak out, the Pods maybe will get Mets' September luck.

As long they keep their mathematical chances,there's no reason they miss the postseason.

Fred's Brim said...

i would like a review of Leonhardt Vineyards from Paul

karina said...

@Mr C I interrupted routine this week, it's my fault :(

though it's not my fault Internet sucks at home and keeps falling, also it's not exactly I've had a busy week with circumstances out of my control.

NicJ said...

It sure is fitting that we are closing in on a deal for Lilly, cause this is starting to look like a funeral.

Nostradamus said...

@karina

No doubt.

I'm still not letting the boys off the hook for mailing it in this week, though.

NicJ said...

Ely gave up 4 runs and while only retiring one batter tonight for the topes before the game was called due to rain.

Fred's Brim said...

please please please no trades :(

Fred's Brim said...

Ely don't like low-pressure systems

NicJ said...

I would like the novelty of the possibility of a dodgers rotation featuring Ely / Lilly though.

Fred's Brim said...

just throw strikes, T-Slick
