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.
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.
@Mr C
And that Blake and DeWitt bat next to each other.
Yes, that too.
I don't get the Wanted reference...
Testing...1..2..Wash your hair, Timmeh!!!...testing...
@Steve Sax
There are so many references I don't seem to get anymore.
@Sax
Yeah, me neither.
I want that light table, though.
Mr F, you really need to get out more!
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.
Just talked with Orel: the Wanted reference is the "Game Thread".
Damn, he's good.
@rbnlaw
Everyone's a bit krusty tonight. This thread is the left field pavilion of the soul.
Rbnlaw, ladies and gentlemen!
The LFP of the soul...I love it! I resemble that!
WASH YOUR HAIR, TIMMEH!!!
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
Then I sure hope that reports - RUMORS - re Gnats going for Bautista from Blue Jays are patently false.
John Soo Hoo pics being highlighted on pre-game right now.
EK essentially just called modern Gnats fans pussies. Still tha man, EK!
On the sofa, Vinny!
"These two organizations are back to hating each other." -Lyons after a Dodgers and Gnats hitting each others' batters montage in the pre-game.
Epale, everyone!
and Happy Halloween!
I'm at the Camarillo Outlets, Vinny!
That is why these teams blow. With there alternate jerseys or changing them every other year.
NO TRADITION
keep working him, Raffy!
great AB, kid
will that be the last good one we have tonight?
why are they booing Dre?
Because Manny is out and they have to boo somebody?
Raffy steals it
OP must have been interfered with or something
Cut your hair, Timmeh!!!
It's like a stadiumful of traffic cones. I have to adjust my TV screen.
Alright, JFL, remember you're away from home. #HRHint
Dre grounds out on ball 4
FJL with Raffy at 3rd, 2 outs
Dre just looks utterly out of sorts.
James is clean shaven tonight
ugh
shoulda kept the stubble
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?
@DB TVs should come with those Photoshop filters where you can change every instance of a color to another color
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?
so what are people drinking tonight? I am getting rid of some crappy Trader Joes beers
@FB
Yu mean TJ's brand beer? I kinda dig their Dos XX ripoff beers cause they're almost the same and cheaper.
damn - that came back across the plate
@FB
And was low.
Spanky Combo
IceHouse, Steel Reserve
Got the light popcorn tambien
somebody better issue a warning! nobody, but NOBODY, hits the Beard
Does the Spanky special go Ice House>Steel Reserve or the other way around?
I have some Firestone Pale waiting for me whenever the hell I get home.
run Casey run!
I purchased some Sam Adams pale ale to have sometime over the weekend. Anyone had it yet?
Oh shit. TBLA just reported that Theriot was pulled from the Cubs game early. Please no!
@FB
Arrogant Bastard Ale in hand.
Always Icehouse first.
Steel Reserve to knock me the fuck out.
BTW...Head and Shoulders TIMMEH
that was a tie
do something, Scotty P
Swing You Fuck!
Karina's son!
mama said knock you out...steel reserve gonna knock you out!
@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
@DB (re Theriot),
That doesn't sound good.
Here comes the Posey love fest
damnation
well, all downhill for here.
see what happens when you actually swing the bat.
@FB
Sounds like something you want to - and can afford to - work through about 14-15 during a game.
Pat Burrell can go straight to hell
What is this strange "swing the bat" concept you speak of?
@SRM
There is a certain symmetry to the beer selection.
@DB they are actually pretty high in the alcohol department (6.2% for the lager!)
Burrell can come over here and suck my ass and THEN go straight to hell.
I hear he's good at that
Now Rosenthal says "Theriot still a #Cub. Just a double switch."
*wipes brow*
phew!
RAFFY GOD DAMNED FURCAL!
Homerun Fools!
Raffy!!!!
that was a bomb!
get that feeling again, Dre!
Get a perm TIMMEH!
that'll work!
Wash your skanky hair, Timmeh!!!!
Chente looked like he wanted to bean someone
haha Burrell looked like a beer-league softball player running after that one
Burrell looked like a beer leaguer with feces all over his face.
Who knew all we had to do to get our offense going was to face Timmeh.
That was one of the lamest attempts at a slide I've seen. Ethier, man up!
that's twice now.
Timmy might want to bat right-handed next time up
Rancho Notgoingtogetmyhopesupiendo!
just a fly ball, Joyce
Theriot could have done that
Come on BDW! Hit a Grand Slam right before you get traded.
can Russ do it again?
of course not
Outside of raffys solo shot that inning was a gigantic fail.
what's the score? feels like we are down 4-2
Toma! Sit down
ha! I love the mail-order-bride story
how the hell do you let that get into your bio?
Smoke another one Timmeh
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.
howdy, MLASF! what did you have done?
damn - so close by Raffy
Just had to have a problem tooth removed. Might have been wisdom.
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?"
did they gas you or did you go for the slug-of-whiskey-and-bite-on-a-stick method?
Sedation. Very quick, and very potent.
what the eff
Dammit, Monny.
Bush League. Come on Mang!
haha
Dr. Tooth: "He's still delirious from the gas, better call his wife to come pick him up"
And Kemp. Dammit Kemp and Monny.
cmon fucker, end the inning so I can get another beer
this ump is no good
I'm confused. Pitch 3 was the same as Pitch 5.
ugh
Pissah.
meat
ball
BOOOOOOO!
This is why I want Ted freakin' Lilly.
With those ridiculously bright orange jerseys on the hated ones look like Cal trans workers on crack
Can't score. Can't pitch. Can't field. Can't win.
If we lose by one, Matty gets to wear this one.
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.
And now lincecum will dominate the rest of the game.
Pods wears his socks properly. I respect that.
Yay Podsednik
balls
didn't need that with 2 outs
Good Hustle Raffy. I like that shit
So glad KFP didn't land on Raffy.
Good hustle. Cant complain re that.
We would have stranded him at third anyways.
Right on Spanky.
currently enjoying: Utz Crab Chips
currently despising: the Giants
He tried to spark the team Dusty.
Monsters offspeed shit moves like a Mofo!
Check it out
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
is Roberto Kelly their 1st base coach?
and there's Jeffy warming up
Timmy's gotten into a groove
Buster Olney says Cubs/Dodgers are close to deal.
I hate the reanimated corps of Huff.
gah giants fans make me sick
That was a major league play by Loney holding the runner
please no deal with the Cubs. those guys really arent going to help anything
God. The Rockies' hitting woke up all at once. 17-2 with more baseball to play.
I was about to thank Joe for leaving Monster in for this inning, but maybe that wasn't a good idea
I'm home.
Duff Gardens! Hurrah!
*head hits the horn*
Are the Cubs the only team we can trade with? Seems like it. Chicago anyways.
This looks like a team that has given up. Body language sucks out there.
how is it only 3-2?
I hope they're getting Zambrano. Maybe he'll scare the shit out of everyone so they start winning.
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
I see the Rockies score but this game I'm watching right now feels like a bigger beatdown.
*sigh*
there's a 22 year old girl from Philly with a 5-year old son cheering for daddy right now
We already scored our quota. Done!
BTW, watching the game on Fox-Mexico.
@Josh - that would be interesting. He's owed a lot of money, though, right?
FB, could not agree with you more. Lilly ain't fixing this team. We have underachieved all year.
Fuck you, sandwich boy.
@Neeebs I think that's called Foxico
Excuse me a moment...
WAKE UP, ASSHOLES! YOUR SEASON IS SLIPPING AWAY AND YOU'RE STANDING THERE WITH YOUR THUMBS IN YOUR TAINTS!!!.
a taint-thumbing would be more pleasurable than this
me too, karen
I'm gettin' kinda ornery.
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
@MR C - me too. More beer will help that, right?
@fb
He's still the best of the four you just mentioned.
Which is fucking pathetic.
Fuck That. I lived through 1988. I was fucking there. This ain't shit man. Fuck You Giants. Here me FUCKING ROAR!!!!!!!
ach why couldn't that have been Burrell out there
if its any consolation, the giants aint winning shit either.
Pods finally gets a hit, with no men on.
Pinch Hit for this Fuck
you got any magic in that bat, Dre?
Spanky's unbounded rage is, by far, the most entertaining thing about this game.
You gotta redeem your week of futility here Dre.
what is that like 18 K's looking?
christ
That was awful, Andre.
cmon James, just a hit, get us closer
fuck this team.
We blow.
No Fucking Heart
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"
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
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.
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.
I'M GOING TO MURDER AUBREY HUFF
Go to hell, Audrey.
Just kicking around the lifeless corpse of the dodgers.
At what age did huff draw this picture of Bonds at ATT park?
Dude had to have been like 17.
Epale karina.
There's no way I'm holding you responsible for this garbage.
what the hell? how is Huff any good at all? He isnt, so what's going on? Somebody needs to explain this to me
We desperately need some Karina to keep us sane. I know I do. I'm quickly losing hope with every hit Huff gets.
Huff's back on the juice he was using in the tampa years.
@fb
Yeah, he's not.
So...
is he one of those guys with a medical exemption for HGH? Or is Balco back in business?
Maybe Huff is one of these guys with ADHD.
@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.
i would like a review of Leonhardt Vineyards from Paul
@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.
It sure is fitting that we are closing in on a deal for Lilly, cause this is starting to look like a funeral.
@karina
No doubt.
I'm still not letting the boys off the hook for mailing it in this week, though.
Ely gave up 4 runs and while only retiring one batter tonight for the topes before the game was called due to rain.
please please please no trades :(
Ely don't like low-pressure systems
I would like the novelty of the possibility of a dodgers rotation featuring Ely / Lilly though.
just throw strikes, T-Slick
