Hiroki Kuroda (7-5, 3.27) vs. Edwin Jackson (5-6, 4.63).
COMMENTS: Oh sure, Edwin Jackson, you think you're hot stuff coming off of your no-hitter last outing. You may have had a couple of extra days rest since that start, but after 149 pitches (and eight walks), we know you're tired and still sore. And might I remind you, we've got swagger too, coming off of a sweep of the Giants, fueled by Rafael Furcal (five straight multi-hit games) and the potential rebirth of Matt Kemp (who homered in his last game after being benched for most of the series). And did we mention that James Loney is 7-for-14 at Chase Field this year, the highest batting average of any opposing hitter? Well, now we did. You see, it is the Dodgers who are on fire. And we predict the snakes will be burning, man.

Dammit, why is there a geriatric with a .190 batting average in our lineup?
Stop the GAARP madness!
I want to believe that Joe keeps throwing GAARP out there in the hopes he'll injure himself, but I doubt Joe's that clever.
I see the white caps are in effect for the whole weekend. They're not going to look as nice with the road unis.

MURDERED ROW
That flaming snake was from Coachella in '09? Yes? If not, there was one just like it there two years ago.
...hearing rumors of the gnats exploring a trade to the brewers: prince for dirty sanchez and some highly rated prospect. ugh.
I thought Prince was from Minnesota.
Giants will be able to steal bases against us if Fielder is on their team.
Prince will level out the infield at the Big Phone. It's been tilting towards 3B since KFP came up.
I was thinking it would crack in two at second base.
Ha Mota and Prince will be buddies.
GAARP again. Fuck this fool!
I love the fact that they move Molina and want to add Fielder.
Guess the Giants' chef was feeling unloved.
@Josh - I figured Panda's giant slice o' cake sitting at second would keep the cracking at bay.
Still the best animated gif I've ever seen.
Astros-Padres is atbat.tv's free game of the day, for all you iPhone dudes

@Paul 4:44p: explain the nickname, or explain why he exists as a Dodger?
OT - sources telling me Bosh and Wade are meeting with Bulls' brass.
Also, Lakers sign Steve Blake.

@Dusty: Answer sent.
I'm undecided. Of course I want the Dodgers to sweep, if possible. In the other hand, it'd be one more reason for the Diamondbacks to pursue Logan White.
keep away your poison from Logan White, D-backs!
forgot! Epale, everyone!
Epale, aspiring ASCII artists!
Giants at rox, 2-2 mid-5.
Lincecum pitching for the Giants
That salute was for all the Gnats out there.
Whining about the jingoistic caps, Vinny!
Epale everyone
Dusty--all I can say about your inspiring art is...Wow!
GAARP again?? WWHHHYYYY??
That was easy.
First inning yips for Kuroda again
Hopefully the Dbacks pen is REALLY bad.
Epale tambien
Hopefully they put the pen in immediately.
Am I the only one who likes these caps.
Kuroda not doing well so far...sweating like Mr C and me on the patio at Lucky B's this afternoon.
@Neeebs
Yes.
do we play in AZ anymore this year? maybe we should avoid having hiro start here again.
Blue not giving corners tonight.
Scoring easily is Johnson. Dang.
This is not looking good children
Hiro finally got an out.
Here comes Abreu to step on our neck.
yup
Pregame talk said AZ hitters instructed to go the other way. Do the Dodgers have no recon units?
an out right here would be nice, a single pretty much ends the game.
How many pitches is that for Kuroda?
Jax only threw 9 in his inning.
Could have been worse.
Those white caps definetly look odd (meaning bad) with the road unis
haha totally, Upton got picked off on first.
Watch, Gaarp gonna hit a homer I bet
at least we arent getting no hit
No no hitter for you tonight asshole
Well said, Karen!!!
Is GAARP 38 or 83?
YAY! Even Vin is on to GAARP
thanks for that one Joe
Johnson would have at least beat out the DP
I like Dewitt.
today.
DeSweet
Hey how did we get our outs this inning?
I seem to have come in at the right time! That's an improvement, DeWitt!
why is there nobody warming up yet?
So much for my first inning yips theory
How did we score. I missed it
where was kemp on that throw?
This is not quite the pitchers duel I expected...
@spanky
DeWitt single with 2 RISP.
seriously, why is there nobody warming up?
This is getting hard to watch
Weaver should have been warming after the first two singles and definitely after the wildpitch
Thanx MC Looks like shits falling apart
The Hiro takes a fall.
Come on, Dodgers, get it together!
Part of me wants to turn to the 6-2 hole of a game. Part of me wants to keep watching Summer Rental on HDNM.
Summer Rental. Hell Yeah!
6-2?? Donde es mi tequila?
Oh, here it is.
This is a horrible day with no end in sight. And I just wish I was talking about the game.
At least i got to see the Oranje beat Brazil
All we have to do is keep it within ten runs and hopefully the Dbacks pen will implode.
WE WANT IN THE SNAKE BULLPEN
Why did it have to be snakes?
You know something is wrong when Vin Scully keeps hinting that you should be let go.
well, sometimes it just aint your night.
game over.
I think Karina would even say this game was done.
Probably not though.
Mrs Dusty: Well, we'll give them this one since it's Gibby's first game as manager.
DB: Fair enough. I mean, he did provide me the greatest moment in my life.
Mrs Dusty: [glares]
DB: I mean second, after our wedding.
[I had my fingers crossed!]
Drive-by GT visit. So, uh, we suck again? This is so hard to keep track of.
@DB, you should say "To be fair you didnt have to walk down the aisle with a bum leg"
dodgers in "lets get this over with" mode
what the shit is going on here?
We are playing golf instead of baseball today FB.
We are totally kick the dbacks asses with a 6 stroke lead through three.
This game is not over, it's on the bottom of the 4th.
Why Troncoso is pitching again? hasn't anybody found that slavery is illegal?
@Nic J it was wonderful the Oranje won. You certainly have that.
100!
Good point Nic. Alternately: (wearing goggles) You try dragging Tucker and Masket down the aisle...
Ill consider that fact that we actually didnt give up any runs that inning a small victory.
@Nic J see, it's not hard to notice the positives.
These are the fricking Diamondbacks, and we are getting smoked 9-3.
W T F
I'm at the bar at my local MEX. Overheard:
[Two dudes walk in and sit down]
Bartender: What can I get you?
Two dudes: We want to drink tequila and we want a lot of it.
@Karina, loved the slavery line at 8:24p
cmon FJL, take one deep and make this interesting again
cmon Casey, take one deep and make this interesting again
How does JLo only have .296 season avg? In my mind he gets a hit every single time he's up.
9-4! Here comes the comeback
FJL 3-for-3 with 2 RBI
*sigh*
Could be worse.
9-4 is winnable. We just need to get something going.
ahh the D-Backs bullpen. What can Gibby do to help that?
@Steve Sax thanks
Joyce!!!!!
Baby steps to a comeback.
DeHot?
Looks like Rafa has cooled.
One run per inning; at this rate we'll tie them in the tenth.
@Sax from a looooong ass time ago.
Explain the GAARP thing as in why the fuck he is on this team. That was pre 0-3 night tonight.
I saw the guy in BP man it was not pretty. Jamie Carroll had more pop than him.
Oh man going to babies r us will drive a man to drink. Then get home and drink some more.
Time for some Sam Adams Laditiude 48.
i'm not here this isn't happening i'm not here this isn't happening i'm not here this isn't happening
Esmerling Vasquez with the 1-2-3 inning.
NOW its over.
Pods on the precipice of winning
How to completely disappear, Radio Head from the Kid A vintage.
This one is over now.
haha.
You can't match extra points with field goals.
You know the real sad part of this is that if we had any kind of pitching today we could of had this game.
The Dbacks arent exactly outplaying us, just outhitting I guess thats the point though.
@Paul 9:10p: I honestly do not understand why GAARP is on the team, or why Torre keeps trotting (and I do say that ironically since GA is about as quick as James Baldwin used to be) him out there. He's an automatic out, even with a 3-0 count.
I think it's Torre's "fuck you" to Frank and Ned.
only giving up runs in threes tonight
Well, shit.
Doesn't seem so bad coming of a sweep, though.
looks like we are going to have to beat SD ourselves if we want to make it to the post season.
Dodgers down by 7 and GA gets a timely hit.
I guess I meant to say you can't match field goad with ezra points. I am not in football shape yet.
get a series win and this is all forgotten.
GA stealing bags now.
At least the Giants were kind enough to lose, too.
Lol and apparently the iPhone is ahead of me on the drinks.
round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round
Really nice effort tonight , guys.
Comeback Baby!
This one's for Gibson.
Ah, bollocks.
BBBBOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
PGT up. Boooooo
