Nostradamus said...: Beer:30!

I'll "see" all you deviants when I get home.; 7/09/2010 5:40 PM
dodgerdoll said...: Feels so good to be back! I can't wait for this game to start so I can stop watching the Gnats.; 7/09/2010 6:01 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Gnats v Nats

Go Nats!; 7/09/2010 6:04 PM
dodgerdoll said...: That game is so boring. If the giants sucked any more they'd have Garrett Anderson playing for them.; 7/09/2010 6:22 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Gnats getting smoked 8-1. Cain chased in 7th.; 7/09/2010 6:24 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Where my dogs at?; 7/09/2010 6:43 PM
NicJ said...: Sorry I'm late, Lebron James' massive ego was blocking the entrance.; 7/09/2010 6:45 PM
NicJ said...: quite the dilemma on who to root for in the COL/SD series. SD is in first but COL is getting hot and starting to worry me.; 7/09/2010 6:47 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Easy Nic. We root for extra innings, lots of nagging injuries, fights that lead to suspensions and ill will, and general poor play from both teams. And split series.; 7/09/2010 6:48 PM
karen said...: Well said Dusty; 7/09/2010 6:50 PM
Neeebs (The Original) said...: Neeebs in da stadium tonight. Loge by foul ball alley. Anyone in the house?; 7/09/2010 6:53 PM
spank said...: Here Here. I like the way you think Dusty; 7/09/2010 6:53 PM
dodgerdoll said...: I could not have said it better Dusty.; 7/09/2010 6:53 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Predictable - I usually miss Neeebs by one game in a home series. We'll be in the Yard tomorrow.; 7/09/2010 6:55 PM
Neeebs (The Original) said...: Kings in the stadium. Dustin Brown and Matt Greene; 7/09/2010 6:58 PM
Neeebs (The Original) said...: Oh, and three of the Kings' Ice Girls are here too!; 7/09/2010 7:00 PM
Fred's Brim said...: howdy yall

Fun Fact: Takashi Saito still throws in the low-to-mid 90s; 7/09/2010 7:00 PM
Fred's Brim said...: @Neeebs are Dustin Brown and Matt Greene doing on a kinky date with the ice girls?; 7/09/2010 7:03 PM
Fred's Brim said...: -"doing"; 7/09/2010 7:04 PM
Josh S. said...: Low to mid-90s is also the number of times Saito hurts himself per season.; 7/09/2010 7:10 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Lee hitting. 230? Wow. Talk about tailing off.

I realize this means he will go 4-4 w 2 HR tonight.; 7/09/2010 7:15 PM
Fred's Brim said...: I forgot it was Chad going tonight. His starts usually make me so mad. I don't want any of that tonight; 7/09/2010 7:16 PM
Kyle Baker said...: GAARP-free start. Feels good.; 7/09/2010 7:18 PM
Fred's Brim said...: free-n-easy, sans GAARP; 7/09/2010 7:18 PM
Fred's Brim said...: was that a Jesse Orosco jersey on the crowd?; 7/09/2010 7:20 PM
NicJ said...: haha lady in the kings jersey was totally nailed by that line drive by raffy.

Its a ball try to catch it.; 7/09/2010 7:20 PM
Fred's Brim said...: "in"

FB cannot type tonight; 7/09/2010 7:20 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Raffy almost lifted that one out. Love it. Much better than run-slap-bunt-out to open the game.; 7/09/2010 7:20 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @FB

I thought it was an Orosco jersey! Either that, or it was a personalized jersey.; 7/09/2010 7:21 PM
dodgerdoll said...: The MLB network keeps showing Bills with the teaser that says "Last Start With Their Current Team?"; 7/09/2010 7:22 PM
Kyle Baker said...: But not from you, E. You need to get deep in that count before a short popup.; 7/09/2010 7:22 PM
NicJ said...: I remember when Dre used to have really long at bats fouling of pitch after pitch.

Now its usually trying to jump on the first fastball.; 7/09/2010 7:23 PM
NicJ said...: Why would we trade Bills? Lee is gone and nobody else is worth that.

I wish they would have used GA in that clip instead of bills.; 7/09/2010 7:24 PM
Fred's Brim said...: Arthur Rhodes has hit the skids since being named to the All-Star team. 0 outs, 3 runs and a loss the other night, 0 outs 2 runs and a loss tonight to complete a total gag-job by the Reds tonight; 7/09/2010 7:25 PM
Kyle Baker said...: This little Byrd fucker is annoying me.; 7/09/2010 7:27 PM
Fred's Brim said...: that's a strike, blue; 7/09/2010 7:27 PM
dodgerdoll said...: Someone was telling me that they were trying to go after Grenkie but I don't know how much truth there is to that.; 7/09/2010 7:27 PM
Fred's Brim said...: *anger rising*; 7/09/2010 7:28 PM
Fred's Brim said...: Chad is flying way open; 7/09/2010 7:28 PM
Kyle Baker said...: This is a crazy, silly rumor time of year. Why would we trade one SP for another and still need, arguably, two more? Granted, it could be an ace, and so it could be viewed as a net gain, but I would not want us to pull the trigger on that. We should be adding, not subtracting or staying roughly even.; 7/09/2010 7:30 PM
dodgerdoll said...: Oh my beard, already we're already walking the yard.; 7/09/2010 7:30 PM
NicJ said...: the royals arent going to give up greinkeikeikeikeeee. He is cheap and still under control for a while. Not to mention their best pitcher.

Chad is not giving us a nice going away present.; 7/09/2010 7:31 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Trade Bills! Trade Bills!; 7/09/2010 7:31 PM
Fred's Brim said...: Denny Terrio with the gift swing on ball 4; 7/09/2010 7:31 PM
Kyle Baker said...: We're gonna need a bigger ice chest.; 7/09/2010 7:33 PM
Fred's Brim said...: nice work, koyioyoieyie. But this just sets up the Lilly's 2 rbi double; 7/09/2010 7:33 PM
NicJ said...: alright maybe we dont have the worst hitting #55 catcher in the league.; 7/09/2010 7:33 PM
Fred's Brim said...: what was wrong with that one?; 7/09/2010 7:34 PM
dodgerdoll said...: Bout time Bills. If he can't strike out Lilly at least then I give up.; 7/09/2010 7:34 PM
Fred's Brim said...: Fresno/giants/Will Clark

what other Lilly facts can you tell me to make me hate him more?; 7/09/2010 7:34 PM
karen said...: Out of that inning cheap enough; 7/09/2010 7:35 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Uncle Charlie just molested Ted Lilly for the K.; 7/09/2010 7:35 PM
dodgerdoll said...: 4-5 for the rocks in the middle of the 4th.; 7/09/2010 7:36 PM
Fred's Brim said...: Pods/Rox off to a nice burn-all-of-our-pitchers-in-game-1 start; 7/09/2010 7:36 PM
NicJ said...: Yeah it always bothers me a little that Kershaw wears 22 because Clark was his favorite player growing up. That was Rangers Clark so i'll let it slide.; 7/09/2010 7:37 PM
NicJ said...: One of these days we are going to actually score some runs off Lily.; 7/09/2010 7:38 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Liked how Bills seemed to get pissed off after getting in the jam then finish the inning strong.; 7/09/2010 7:39 PM
Kyle Baker said...: FJL!; 7/09/2010 7:39 PM
Fred's Brim said...: "he looks so intense at the plate"

no, he just saw Kevin Mitchell do some blow and eat a goat in the clubhouse; 7/09/2010 7:40 PM
Steve Sax said...: Hey fans! Have all of you registered for SoSG Fest 2010 yet?; 7/09/2010 7:42 PM

Kyle Baker said...: Karina, you must be so proud of your son!!!; 7/09/2010 7:43 PM

Nostradamus said...: Holy crap, did that just happen?; 7/09/2010 7:44 PM

MR.F said...: Yayyyyyy; 7/09/2010 7:44 PM

I like when he uses the street vernacular sometimes instead of his usual Mr. Burns-speak.; 7/09/2010 7:45 PM
dodgerdoll said...: Be still my beating heart! I take back all the crap I've said about Martin.; 7/09/2010 7:45 PM
Fred's Brim said...: sorry Kevin, that was uncalled for. I was just venting some VaGiants hate and you were in the way. But I don't condone the brutal killing of cats, just to be clear.; 7/09/2010 7:45 PM
Steve Sax said...: How awesome would it be if Russell got his groove back?; 7/09/2010 7:46 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Just noted that "Atta beard!" comment. Nice.; 7/09/2010 7:47 PM

spank said...: Damn! Martin with the homer.

I know I'm late but indulge me.; 7/09/2010 7:50 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I wanted a license plate with my name on it from Honeycombs so bad, but they did not offer "Kyle." Now every Tom, Dick, and Harry is named Kyle.; 7/09/2010 7:52 PM

spank said...: Where was the Honeycomb Hideout?; 7/09/2010 7:54 PM
Fred's Brim said...: I think Aramis is fixable, but I would pay alot to find out if he is; 7/09/2010 7:55 PM

As for emergency earthquake beer, there's a BevMo right down the way. I would just start looting. It's how we do it in LA.; 7/09/2010 8:46 PM

NicJ said...: The mariners just traded their team to Texas.

Isnt it funny that the Yanks get screwed and lose out on a player to a smallish market team.

Also, isnt it sad that the team with less money than us is wheeling and dealing.; 7/09/2010 8:50 PM
Kyle Baker said...: To be fair, I'm glad we didn't trade away either a core component of our team or our best coupla prospects. I give cred to Ned for holding on.; 7/09/2010 8:51 PM
Kyle Baker said...: And I give a big top shelf to Frank for not spending more overall.; 7/09/2010 8:52 PM
