Fred's Brim said...: run, Casey, run!; 7/09/2010 8:54 PM
NicJ said...: In LA we have our own looting bags.

They are made of 100% recycled material. Gotta think green.; 7/09/2010 8:55 PM
dodgerdoll said...: You know you love him.; 7/09/2010 8:55 PM
Josh S. said...: BRB, catching up with the GT.; 7/09/2010 8:56 PM
Fred's Brim said...: there was a Sergio in the dugout trying to take FJL's helmet. Is that the Sergio that posts here sometimes?; 7/09/2010 8:56 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @FB

I reckon I could grab a jackload of hooch,pile it in a shopping cart, and just push it down the street back to the crib. I'd probably go for the hard stuff, because beer wouldn't keep and it would take up a lot of space in the cart.

Not that I've thought this through in detail or anything.; 7/09/2010 8:57 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Isn't the Sergio in the dugout the bat boy?; 7/09/2010 8:58 PM
karen said...: That damn Byrd; 7/09/2010 8:59 PM
NicJ said...: will someone please shoot that Byrd.

somebody call Padilla.; 7/09/2010 8:59 PM
Kyle Baker said...: God damn you Byrd. I'm tracking down where you are staying in town and leaving you a present in your hotel bathroom.; 7/09/2010 8:59 PM
Fred's Brim said...: that summanabitch; 7/09/2010 9:00 PM
spank said...: Fucking Pajaro!; 7/09/2010 9:00 PM
Fred's Brim said...: that sounds like a good plan: full cart, plus a couple of lootin bags over the shoulder, and you got yourself a good weekend ahead of you

would you send out the missus to get snacks? leave MDIL to guard the house? who's the best with the shotty?; 7/09/2010 9:01 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I'd assign MDIL to loot the fridges of the old people who live around us. Survival of the fittest, you know. Mrs Dusty would fan the white wine to keep it chilled. Impractical, I know, but can't let good wine go bad.; 7/09/2010 9:04 PM
Fred's Brim said...: that happens way too often with Dre; 7/09/2010 9:04 PM
Kyle Baker said...: 8-6 Pod Rays now; 7/09/2010 9:05 PM

dodgerdoll said...: I'm out for tonight, I'll be back tomorrow. Keep it real lovelies!; 7/09/2010 9:11 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Better, Paul would know how to make wine if the hammer really came down and we were in some sort of 12 Monkeys kind of situation.; 7/09/2010 9:11 PM
Fred's Brim said...: seeya DD!; 7/09/2010 9:11 PM

Fred's Brim said...: Dre with the rip!; 7/09/2010 9:13 PM
Kyle Baker said...: MDIL: Wow. Do the Cubs just suck this bad?

Dusty: Yes.; 7/09/2010 9:13 PM
Fred's Brim said...: Paul can make prison hooch? awesome! if he needs to use a toilet to hide it, I suggest he doesn't use Marlon Byrd's hotel toilet; 7/09/2010 9:15 PM
Fred's Brim said...: FJL!!!; 7/09/2010 9:16 PM
karen said...: FJL DOES IT AGAIN!!; 7/09/2010 9:17 PM
Fred's Brim said...: that was a laserbeam; 7/09/2010 9:17 PM
spank said...: Barely the 6th inning Aw Shit Loney what time is it anyway; 7/09/2010 9:17 PM
Fred's Brim said...: with MonsterStereos back, will Weaver go into Belli's role?; 7/09/2010 9:18 PM
Nostradamus said...: CO now up 10-8.; 7/09/2010 9:19 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I'm interested to see how Monster Cheerios looks first. As good as he was, he was bad of late. And struggled in rehab.; 7/09/2010 9:20 PM
spank said...: Little nubber....thats what she said; 7/09/2010 9:20 PM
Josh S. said...: I needs me a Loney bobble.; 7/09/2010 9:21 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Are you caught up now, Josh?; 7/09/2010 9:23 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I like how our offence is continuing to push. Boots to the throat, lads! That's the mark of a good team.; 7/09/2010 9:24 PM
spank said...: Any suggestions on a drunken spree music mix?
Got my own but n; 7/09/2010 9:26 PM
Josh S. said...: I've been caught up. I'm not posting much because I'm viewing the GT from the iPhone. Mrs. S gets the computer tonight.; 7/09/2010 9:27 PM
Fred's Brim said...: wow! speaking of boots to throats.
Chadwick!; 7/09/2010 9:27 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Blech. Time for my traditional walk around the patio during GBA.; 7/09/2010 9:28 PM
Josh S. said...: Isn't this the girl Ichiro felt up?; 7/09/2010 9:28 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Booooo, Mrs. S!; 7/09/2010 9:28 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Spanky

Hardly anyone will notice!; 7/09/2010 9:29 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Wait, what's that about Ichiro?; 7/09/2010 9:29 PM
Fred's Brim said...: @Spanky how about a looting theme? Trespass by Ices Cube and T, The Day the Ns Took Over by Dre and friends; 7/09/2010 9:30 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I'd also recommend some Public Enemy to amp up the armageddon theme.; 7/09/2010 9:31 PM
NicJ said...: Rox are unstoppable.; 7/09/2010 9:32 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Why is Bills hitting?; 7/09/2010 9:32 PM
Fred's Brim said...: @ DB Ichiro; 7/09/2010 9:33 PM
NicJ said...: He has a better chance of getting a hit than GAARP.; 7/09/2010 9:33 PM
Fred's Brim said...: yeah that was odd; 7/09/2010 9:34 PM
NicJ said...: Johnson is out with a sore back so the bench is a little short.

I miss wolf and his pinch hitability.; 7/09/2010 9:34 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Ahhh, I'm glad that was a positive Ichiro story and not something else.; 7/09/2010 9:36 PM
NicJ said...: Huh, chad going in for the 8th i guess.; 7/09/2010 9:36 PM
Josh S. said...: He's still pitching but Clay couldn't finish with 97? Guess you need a six run lead.; 7/09/2010 9:36 PM
NicJ said...: I was more shocked to see that there were actually fans at the M's game.; 7/09/2010 9:36 PM
Fred's Brim said...: why is he out there?
first he wont let Clayton hit 100 but he sends Chad out with 115

i dont get it; 7/09/2010 9:36 PM
spank said...: I've got Amerikkas most wanted and Straight outta Compton but I'm from the projects so i hope that will suffice
Later I cant type no more
Too Much Steel reserve; 7/09/2010 9:37 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Rox get the W.; 7/09/2010 9:37 PM
Kyle Baker said...: What, did Bills just want one more chance to try to get Byrd?; 7/09/2010 9:37 PM
Fred's Brim said...: unbelieveble; 7/09/2010 9:38 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Guy wearing a Spain kit and a Dodger hat at the game.; 7/09/2010 9:38 PM
Kyle Baker said...: You got plenty of cred here, Spanky.; 7/09/2010 9:39 PM
NicJ said...: I was beginning to think the rox wouldn't go on a crazy run this year. Its looking like i was wrong on that one.; 7/09/2010 9:40 PM
NicJ said...: SherLOL.; 7/09/2010 9:41 PM
karen said...: George Sherrill is such a gem; 7/09/2010 9:41 PM
Josh S. said...: A standing o for 7+ of 3-run ball? Has it come to that?; 7/09/2010 9:42 PM
Josh S. said...: I somehow completely missed Sherrill's appearance.; 7/09/2010 9:44 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Oh, yeah, Soriano. I forgot about him. Can he not play more than one game in a row?; 7/09/2010 9:45 PM
Steve Sax said...: Nice of Sherrill to visit us this game.

Go back and find 2009 Sherrill!!!; 7/09/2010 9:46 PM
Nostradamus said...: To think we could have unloaded Breezy before he crashed and burned.; 7/09/2010 9:46 PM
Fred's Brim said...: consider yourself lucky, Josh; 7/09/2010 9:46 PM
Fred's Brim said...: just wildpitch the other guy in, to take all the pressure off; 7/09/2010 9:47 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Is this a Torre plot to demo to front office how badly we need pitching help?; 7/09/2010 9:47 PM
karen said...: The circus geek's not doing so well; 7/09/2010 9:47 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @ Mr C

But who knew he'd crash and burn like this, though? Dude went from hero to zero pretty quickly.; 7/09/2010 9:48 PM
NicJ said...: so, i guess we are seeing broxton tonight.; 7/09/2010 9:48 PM
Fred's Brim said...: time to dump some dead weight, like Miller, for less-dead weight like James McDonald; 7/09/2010 9:48 PM
Kyle Baker said...: It pains me that someone wearing my favorite number 45 is so crummy.; 7/09/2010 9:48 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Or what about Stults....oh.; 7/09/2010 9:49 PM
Nostradamus said...: Good lord is our bully shaky.; 7/09/2010 9:50 PM
NicJ said...: stults is big in japan. Ok well maybe just his ERA is.; 7/09/2010 9:50 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Maybe Stults' mom will tell him to come back from Japan.*

*You had to be watching TV broadcast to get this reference.; 7/09/2010 9:51 PM
Josh S. said...: Skoar moar runz.; 7/09/2010 9:52 PM
Nostradamus said...: @DB

Certainly not me. I keep getting lured into believing he'll figure it out, but it ain't happening.; 7/09/2010 9:52 PM
Josh S. said...: Don't worry guys. Sherrill only sucks in Spring Training.

And in April.

And in May.

And in June.

And in July.

And when he throws a pitch.; 7/09/2010 9:54 PM
Fred's Brim said...: ahh there he is; 7/09/2010 9:54 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I can't wait to heckle some Cub fans tomorrow. I'm already toying with some saucy taunts, mostly involving goats.; 7/09/2010 9:55 PM
NicJ said...: Stults 3-5, 5.34 ERA in Japan.; 7/09/2010 9:55 PM
Kyle Baker said...: And Nic, sadly, that line is vaguely appealing.; 7/09/2010 9:56 PM
Fred's Brim said...: do you think Stults knows he's not playing for the Reds?; 7/09/2010 9:56 PM
Fred's Brim said...: Joe will use three pitchers to finish the 9th; 7/09/2010 9:58 PM
Kyle Baker said...: This inning is going to make me nervous, isn't it?; 7/09/2010 9:58 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @FB

And one of them will be Loney.; 7/09/2010 9:58 PM
Josh S. said...: You would think a pitcher would never want to get tattooed, just for the superstition in the double-meaning.; 7/09/2010 9:58 PM
Fred's Brim said...: Joe should pay Miller in tattoos. maybe he'd get outs then; 7/09/2010 9:59 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Miller has some Dodger tats, so don't be too hard on him.; 7/09/2010 10:00 PM
Josh S. said...: Welcome to the Fuck You Dome.; 7/09/2010 10:00 PM
Fred's Brim said...: 1 down; 7/09/2010 10:00 PM
Josh S. said...: Welp, time to unfollow Chad Moriyama.; 7/09/2010 10:00 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Is that another earthquake, or Broxton coming in? I think he just gnawed off Weaver's left leg.; 7/09/2010 10:00 PM
Fred's Brim said...: *anger rising again*

this makes me want to go Kevin Mitchell on a kitten; 7/09/2010 10:01 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Moriyama is one annoying hater.; 7/09/2010 10:01 PM
Fred's Brim said...: I swear i was only joking about using 3 pitchers this inning. please dont let that happen, JB; 7/09/2010 10:02 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I read FB's comment to say:

"this makes me want to go Kevin Mitchell on a kitchen"; 7/09/2010 10:03 PM
Nostradamus said...: But is he more annoying than Dylan H nattering on about V Energy?; 7/09/2010 10:04 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: We're winning! That's good!

Broxton is pitching. That's bad.; 7/09/2010 10:04 PM
Fred's Brim said...: oof Lee was right on that pitch; 7/09/2010 10:04 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @ Mr C-

They're neck and neck in annoyance.; 7/09/2010 10:04 PM
Josh S. said...: Look, I get wanting to protect Broxton, but the guy is 26 and built like a brick shithouse. I think he can take some semi-nightly work.; 7/09/2010 10:04 PM
Fred's Brim said...: there we go; 7/09/2010 10:05 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Exactly, Josh. I do this every damned night, and I hold up just fine.; 7/09/2010 10:05 PM
Fred's Brim said...: walk Ramirez so you can K Byrd again; 7/09/2010 10:06 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Is it wrong of me to want Broxton to throw at Byrd's head if he comes up?; 7/09/2010 10:07 PM
NicJ said...: the whole bullpen suckage was worth the comedy of that last at bat.

The non catch however was not that funny.; 7/09/2010 10:08 PM
Fred's Brim said...: wow - Dre wasn't even close to that; 7/09/2010 10:08 PM
Fred's Brim said...: at least Byrd can't tie or win it here; 7/09/2010 10:08 PM
Josh S. said...: Kuo and Brox are the only two guys Joe (and all of us) trust to get outs right now. Kuo you protect for sure. Broxton has to take his lumps until management gets its head on straight and fixes the pen.; 7/09/2010 10:08 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Le sigh.; 7/09/2010 10:08 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Throw at his head!; 7/09/2010 10:09 PM
NicJ said...: Huh; 7/09/2010 10:09 PM
Josh S. said...: KICK HIM OUT AGAIN!; 7/09/2010 10:09 PM
NicJ said...: What could possibly go wrong?; 7/09/2010 10:09 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Remember when we had a 9-3 lead? I miss that.; 7/09/2010 10:10 PM
Fred's Brim said...: this is wack; 7/09/2010 10:10 PM
NicJ said...: broxton is melting.; 7/09/2010 10:10 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Looks like the Artist Formerly Known as Kensai got this one on the nose.; 7/09/2010 10:11 PM
Josh S. said...: It's hard to tell the difference between "defensive indifference" and Russ's normal defense.; 7/09/2010 10:11 PM
Kyle Baker said...: This game could piss me off more than an actual loss. If we end up winning.; 7/09/2010 10:11 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: I hate DI. JUST FUCKING THROW THE BALL TO SECOND AND TRY FOR FUCK'S SAKE.; 7/09/2010 10:11 PM
NicJ said...: 2 strikes.

What could possibly go wrong?; 7/09/2010 10:11 PM
Steve Sax said...: Holy crud Brox, get this; 7/09/2010 10:12 PM
Steve Sax said...: Yay!; 7/09/2010 10:12 PM
Josh S. said...: I shall take it.; 7/09/2010 10:12 PM
Fred's Brim said...: i guess i'll take it; 7/09/2010 10:12 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Shit shouldn't be this close.; 7/09/2010 10:12 PM
Nostradamus said...: Uneccessary drama, but now we make party.

Tomorrow, the series!; 7/09/2010 10:13 PM
NicJ said...: We are struggling to beat anyone outside of our division so this win is beautiful.; 7/09/2010 10:13 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Tomorrow's a day game. That means Ely will fall apart, right?; 7/09/2010 10:13 PM
Nostradamus said...: So our pen tomorrow will be Weaver and...; 7/09/2010 10:14 PM
NicJ said...: Ely's start tomorrow will be so disappointing that Lebron will have an hourlong ESPN special about it.; 7/09/2010 10:15 PM
Fred's Brim said...: good night everyone. I had a lot of fun, but it feels like I woke up after a party to find out I was topshelfed; 7/09/2010 10:16 PM
Kyle Baker said...: TBLA headline:

"Dodger Bats Explode as Los Angeles Punishes Cubs"

Just doesn't seem right after the pitching meltdown.; 7/09/2010 10:16 PM
Josh S. said...: I've had it. If Broxton gets used, people bitch. If Broxton sits, people bitch. He's the best pitcher without a glass elbow. With the current pen situation (which is neither his nor particularly Joe's fault) he is going to pitch frequently. You don't leave relievers who are having trouble in the game to "work out their issues" when you're in 2nd place and trying to pick up ground.; 7/09/2010 10:17 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Preach it, Josh, preach it.; 7/09/2010 10:17 PM
NicJ said...: i thought the kings already re-dropped out of the Ilya Kovalchukstakes.; 7/09/2010 10:18 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Kovy wants LA, not Jersey. But he also wants a lot of money. LA will be a player until he makes up his fucking mind.; 7/09/2010 10:19 PM
NicJ said...: Baseball is a sport where the manager does fairly little and gets more than their deserved share of praise and criticism.; 7/09/2010 10:20 PM
Steve Sax said...: PGT up! I'm going back to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2...; 7/09/2010 10:21 PM
