John Ely (4-5, 3.62) vs. Nate Robertson (5-6, 4.97).

COMMENTS: Fare thee well, NL West opponents, who the Dodgers won't see again until after the All-Star break. After escaping from the icy clutches of interleague play (4-11 record) to the warm embrace of intradivision play (23-6), the Dodgers must now venture into the no-man's land of interdivision play (too lazy to look up record). Former Tiger Robertson has faced the Dodgers only twice in his career, going 1-0 with a 3.27 ERA over 11 innings. Meanwhile, Elymania has a chance to even up his record against the fourth-place Marlins, and to get the Dodgers within three games of the idle Padres.
SoSG Delino and Sax will be representing at tonight's game, so holler if you're there!

Represent well at Blogger Night!
Lookin back on sunsets on the east side. We lost track of the time. Some dreams aren't what they use to be. Somethings slide by so carelessly.
Smile like you mean it.
@Paul nothing like a The Killers song to get me pumped up for a Dodgers game and a GT.
p.d that's the best The Killers album, on heavy rotation in my life since its release.
This line up is giving me good vibes for some reason.
@Karina.
I can't argue that point. Some songs on sawdust are awesome but from start to finish Hot Fuss is incredible.
Ely your a star!! In nobody's eyes but ours!!
@Paul 100% agree.
I'm wasting time thinking on a #ElyMania tweet. I do that only for superstitious purposes.
You guys can take The Killers. I'll take The Flaming Menudos.
I will see ya'l there, wearing my vintage 80's steve sax national league all start shirt. where are you guys sitting?
We are talking with Colletti right now. Any questions you want me to ask?
Betsy, we are in a suite tonight...
Does he know of any low price deals?
He said no
Oooooh! Oooooh! Oooooh!
Ask him to DFA Anderson!
The flaming menudos just haven't caught fire here in the states Neeebs. But you guys are hugeee in Nauru!!
Oh wait, he was talking about BMWs
Does he have to pay for his own bottled water now?
Any chance of adding bench depth and dropping some players not soo deep.
Asked, but you won't like the answer. "he's sill a threat sometimes". I hope he meant for the Dodgers and not to the Dodgers.
Ask him if he will scream "wow that's a low price!" just once!!
My last comment was re: GAARP
Does he think that, with high foreign market volatility, now is a good time to invest in bonds?
Also, could you petition for "Miller the Tattooed Lady" merchandise?
And something for Monasterios too.
Ask him if he's proud of Kemp's slump.
Just kidding.
I guess he is a threat...1.8 times out of 10.
Just like that my vibes aren't so good.
Is it going to be the good twin Ely or the evil twin Ely?
18-19 is the record you guys are missing from the GT post, btw.
damn - that would have been a DP
epale, everyone
@karina: Ely. Daylight. Do I have to spell it out further?
Ask Dusty he should know which one is on the mound tonight.
When do we play the NL West again?
Sneaky, guys.
Epale FB
there we go.
seemed more like an unlucky inning than a bad inning
newly-retired crypt-keeper Larry King sitting 3 rows back
Nate Robertson, born in Wichita, KS, the Fresno of the midwest
Dre licking his chops at the sight of a righty
@Steve Sax 5:05 "still a threat" is not good enough
oops no - he's a lefty
nevermind!
Matty fooled by the down-and-in curve. Let's see if he picks that up better later in the game
hi karen - how was your weekend?
Native Fresnan FB. Sadly I take that as a compliment.
the ump is not giving Ely that highish strike
I forgot (I also do it for superstitious purposes)
Epale everyone!
@Betsy love your style, girl :)
cmon, kid, find the zone
Fish with a double to start the inning
aww crap - throw gets away from Casey and Stanton scored
I don't like this. I'm going to do something else right now.
Is still any sunlight in Miami?
@FB Thanks for asking!
My bestfriend came in from Huntington Beach and we watched Dodger baseball and made party all weekend
Ely finishes the inning with 2 Ks
Looks like it's Ely's evil twin so far tonight
Casey with the big double!
@karen
we had a similar weekend. Friends came up from Virginia Beach, I was forced to watch Yankee baseball and made party all weekend! I wish we could have exchanged the stankee yankees for the Dodgers
FJL isn't seeing the pitches very well
RBI man up.
Loney's chopper gets Casey to 3rd.
Cmon Russ, get that run in!
Oops not this time. Come on Russ get that run back.
attaboy Russ! we're on the board!
WooHoo Karina's son!
RJ with a grounder past SS, Russ to 2nd
Epale y'all. I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Why is the game delayed?
Karen, that sounds like a perfect weekend.
All of my comments have been wiped from the thread. WTF, Blogger?
i dont think Ely is fooling anyone tonight.
I just got here and the game is already over.
shite - I go away for 2 seconds and we gag a scoring opportunity and let them score 2 more runs. What happened?
and where did some of the comments go?
Pitcher RBI.
I think that'll do it.
what the christ, the pitcher with a hit off Evil Ely
unacceptable
and he's done
I may be too
It's my fault, I didn't tweet anything about #ElyMania
Alrighty Then! Ely's gone already
I also think Blogger is eating my comments.
Just in case:
Epale, everyone! (this is my superstition)
@Karen that sounds like a perfect weekend
@Betsy love your style, girl :)
Two starting pitcher implosions in the past run through the rotation.
blogger broken again?
Dodgers playing the NL East again?
I hope my colleagues are enjoying their suite tonight because this game blows so far.
This is one of those games where you drink to try to forget what you are seeing.
Lookit Larry King all sad by himself.
gonna need some big hits to get back into this one, something like a 3-R homer *ahem FJL*
Hanley being Hanley.
We'll take it!!
Belly2 with the headsup baserunning.
Where's everyone at?
Wow Belli2 with a heads up play! With Ramirez on the ground and not paying attention after Kemp (yes Kemp!) stole second, Ronny sneaks home
and Ramirez prevents another run with a stab of a Loney liner
The Marlins are giving away runs! go Dodgers!
Awfully quite in here today.
^ err... quiet
Blogger dead?
Raffy power!
Strange, I haven't felt the Dodgers were out of this game despite the rough start.
Raffy power! this is a ballgame, Marlins 6-Dodgers 4
It's getting closer :D
Dead thread?
The Fresno of the Midwest...don't know if that says more about Fresno or the Midwest. Either way, I'm glad I live in neither though I respect any who do.

I've written a little ode to gin and this is how it goes:
Gin gin gin gin Gin gin gin gin
We love you gin, Oh we love you gin
You mingle so well with your cousin tonic!
Tonic tonic tonic tonic Tonic tonic tonic tonic
You mingle so well with your sister lime!

My god this Internet access is awful
Just to prove to you that we're live
PENIS!!!

What happened? I turned away for a few hours while the kids float down a river on some tubes, and the Dodgers lose to a bunch of fish?
Give me the NL west, now!
I'm all giddy about going to the Shiner, TX tomorrow (actually today according to my current time zone).
What the heck happened to the comments here?
Testing...
testing as well
What was that all about? Thought I was having flashbacks.
now all the comments are disappearing. this is ridiculous.
I like how every time I refresh it displays a different number of comments. And the comments seem to be dwindling in number. We're going to lose this masterful insight to history! Do something now!
It's weird, if you go into the actual post itself, you can see 107 comments, but I'm looking at 9 comments once I get to the "leave your comment" page.
Blogger is making me consider wordpress.
