Hiroki Kuroda (7-7, 3.87) vs. Adam Wainwright (13-5, 2.11).

COMMENTS: If the National League winning the All-Star Game knocked your world off its axis, don't worry — things are back to normal. Manny's hurt (Martin too!), the fifth starter position is up for grabs, and the Cardinals are owning the Dodgers. Look what MLB.com has to say about Wainwright:
Well, Wainwright is at home, so you can pencil him down for at least six innings with no more then three runs allowed. Wainwright's quality start streak at Busch Stadium currently sits at 24 games -- best all-time in Major League history.
How in the name of Zeus' butthole has he done that? Oh, and did I mention today's game is being broadcast on Fox? Enjoy!

Curse my feeble body.
Juan Castro released by Phiwwies.
We have the finest food, the finest equipment, the best spirit, and the best men in the world. Why, by God, I actually pity those poor sons-of-bitches we're going up against. By God, I do.
George S. Patton, Jr.
Holy shit a SOSG fest? Ahhhhhhh man I have to try and make that happen. If I pass the application and survive carbonite freezing process that is.
We got to beat them socs (pronounced "soshes"). We got to.
We got to do it for Manny.
You hear me? we do it for Manny!
Starring Xavier Paul as "Ponyboy"
Yes, but shall be our wild and reckless Dally, leading us into the Big Rumble?
Casey Blake? Naaaw he is more of a Derry character.
Stay Gold Rbn!!!
This whole DeWitt then Blake bit in the lineup is creeping me out and ruining the lineup symmetry.
Dylan Hernandez just reported:
"No DL for Manny or Martin. Both expected back early next week."
Matt Kemp is our Dally Winston.
Now, who to play the eternal joker, Two-Bit Matthews?
Giving DeWitt a little avatar love, hoping it can bring some of his pop back.
Come on, Joyce! We're pullin for ya.
Why the hell do I have Rays vs. Yank-mes? I'm still in California. How the hell is this Yank-me regional action? UGH. DIE FOX DIE.
I had to make a BevMo run and was listening to the Cubs v Phiwwies on the radio. Marmol's 9th inning meltdown was pricesless as called by that huge homer guy who does the Cubs radio.
Polanco's hit that scored the tying run met with "Gooooooooood....just...gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwddd...[long silence]...gaaaaaaaahhhhh...." and it went on about two minutes.
Marmol's 9th inning line: 5 walks, 4 runs, 1 hit allowed.
I like Raffy's aggressiveness to lead off games and innings. He's feeling it. I even liked that flyout. Get some wood on the ball early and get to the pitchers these days, I say.
[I said get some wood]
God damn it. Fox Buck'd us again. At least EK is with him.
Looks like he is throwing a whiffleball.
I did it like this. I did it like that. I did it with a whiffleball bat.
EK tends to be a Dodger hater when he calls their games. It's his idea of objectivity.
In the extreme few circumstances there is a situation there is actually a Dodger supporter or former player who calls a national game or writes a huge sports article, I want him to be a homer for us. It can't begin to combat the Yankees, Red Sox, Cards, Cubs, etc. homerism but it would at least make me feel better.
That's insane, Mr. F. You mean they don't draw a line down the middle of the country and everyone on one side gets one broadcast and the other side gets the other game?
"Fox fucked me."
Isn't that what Brian Austin Green said last week?
How did David Silver end up with that little minx?
JLo gets it started!
A real firstbaseman would have hit that for a home run.
I don't understand the reference.
What reference?
Brian Austin Green?
Just look him up on Wikipedia.
GAARP could have done that.
The one thing xp absolutely can't do and he does it.
I hate you, Joe Buck.
Oh lord, Joyce. You didn't just do that.
Serioulsly why does buck have to be such an asshole. Alright it was a bad play
"Funky Cold Molinas"
That's lame. Unless I would have thought of it.
AJ FOR C!!!
Stick with the Supreme Court, John Jay.
Epale, Karina!
Did you have dreams about Scooby Doo last night?
@Dusty Baker nope. I watched one hour of Scooby Doo and another hour of Tom and Jerry while I was trying to get some sleep.
You said that like it was not appropriate for grown ups to watch old cartoons on a Friday night.
Monday went the whole inning without telling the score!
@karina, db
I posit that it isn't appropriate for mature adults.
Perfectly fine for us here, though.
Rufus Wainwright is 9-0 at home. Wow never tell me the odds.
@Karina
No! I love cartoons, especially those two. I'd rather watch 4 hours of Scooby Doo than 15 seconds of reality TV jibberish.
@Mr C
Exactly. I'm rarely if ever accused of being either mature or grown up.
Raffy had that pitch grooved all the way.
I don't get this idea of "playing meaningful games." That's like saying when a guy goes out to pitch, he's not giving it 100%. Just because the guys on the Padres never really played games that could impact October doesn't mean they will just wilt under pressure. If they're good, they're good. If they can't keep it up, it's not because they just couldn't handle meaningful games. It's because they didn't play well.
Does Kemp even care any more? Looked like he could barely be bothered.
Kemp sucks.
Kemp needs to grow a stache and a pair.
The batter waved the runner over with his hand on a dropped ball! Holy shit, what a heads up play! Thanks for that masterful insight, EK.
WHO SAID ELLIS FOR CATCHER?!
Ellis left his glasses at the hotel.
God dammit, Ellis. Start looking for the ball right in front of you first, THEN if it's not there look behind you.
ELLIS IS NOT THE FUTURE OF THIS ORGANIZATION!!!
Kuroda is wild as a young Keith Richards.
Colby swinging at the cheese.
@Mr C @Dusty Baker thanks for the support! inmature grown ups unite!
@Paul: At least he didn't hit a jack.
And: dyslexics untie!
I love that Kuroda doesn't (usually) lose his shit when he gets in trouble.
Rasmus not so Gooda.
Or old Keith Richards.
I also love this Foster's Freeze Reese's Twister.
#fatthoughts
I had a Reese's McDonald's Flurry thing yesterday. God dang it was gooooood. I'll get a large one next time.
115 degrees on the field. Dayum!
It's 110 there?! I'd be playing like garbage too!
Or 115.
I am sure I would be playing like garbage if it were anything much over about 73 degrees.
I'm sure I'd be playing like garbage, period. Exclamation point. Comma. Parentheses. Backslash colon.
You're right Josh. It is 110 not 115. I misread it.
I'll bet Padilla is pretty much passed out due to water loss at this point.
I had a backslash colon once, but it was just an infection and it went away with some antibiotics.
A "galliant" effort, indeed.
Jay must have a glove made out of Swiss.
Casey Blake has had a "decent run" with LA, according to Joe Buck.
Just say you hate us, Buck. We all know it.
I would punch Buck in the face if I ever ran into him. then I'd punch him again and tell him that was for McCarver.
Damn. Check Pooholes for super glue.
Bulllllllshit.
Come on, kids. You gotta be getting hits in the right sequence.
DeWaste :(
Josh's avatar seems to be working for Joyce on the offensive front so far.
115 degrees? that's not for rookies :)
Leeme guess. We won't get a million replays of that showing that the Cards got a break.
I stand up to cancer as much as the next guy, but get this little shitweasel guy off my screen.
I was wrong and Joe Buck thinks his foot was off the bag.
Huh.
Throw at Holliday's nads!
Ellis knew where the ball was!
Herbie Hancock and Joe Torre exactly the same age? Doesn't seem right.
Maybe AJ Burnett is available for us to acquire.
Did they just have that Kuroda-hit-in-head clip cued up to show in case he got hit in this game???
Aw dammit.
We CANNOT let a man named Skip beat us!
So today is the day we get screwed over by the umpiring crew.
Alright, Hiro!
It's still 0-0 in my book.
Guys, hold on the fort!
Speaking of immature adults, my dad is going to take us to eat ice cream.
Go Blue!
I think the droid needs the Jawas to sell them.
FURCAL!
And, like clockwork, FOX11 HD starts to completely fall apart. It does this to me almost every national Dodger game.
Josh-
Do you have uVerse? I can't recall where you ended up with your audi/video/cable needs. (I need to start a new spreadsheet on this.)
Mercifully Charter Cable of Pasadena is holding firm.
First and third with one out, JLo coming up. Come on, FJL!
Loney, do this!
RISP? What's that?
I ended up talking Charter into lowering my bill, so I'm still with them for now.
DAMMIT LONEY
I wish there was a gif that could appropriately express the level of frustration I am experiencing right now.
Oh wait. There is
The ump probably wouldn't get so hot if he didn't wear all those layers under his shirt.
Umps should consult with Mr. C for layering advice.
^ I mean, I still believe in Josh; his existence is provable.
^ Or is it?
Helluva good job from Hiro. Good lord, 110 degree heat, Cards offense at their home Yard, only allowed 1 one that wouldn't have even scored if not for Bill Joyce umpiring. Have to say he's had a good outing.
Y KANT WE SKOR
(Tori Amos reference of the day)
GA will have to settle for being the first out instead of the third out. Sorry man, you gotta EARN the right to kill a rally.
I still want a win, but if we can't win,I want Colby to get a golden sombrero.
DAMMIT
Could there be any more white people at one game?
I guess if they started a franchise in Vermont.
The only way GAARP will ever be part of a highlight reel.
I hate wasted strikes!!!!
Yeah, no runs, no win fellas.
Get it in gear!
I don't like losses that could have been wins.
Kemp hitting .258 (minus whatever the groundout just got him). Less than impressive. Big players on big teams step up...Kemp has not.
Well, gotta go get hammered with my boss to celebrate his bday.
On to the radio coverage...
Two blowout losses followed by a shut out loss. How are we going to lose tomorrow? Blown save?
It would be nice to win one game, just to take the season series.
Wow. A visible "Shit!" from Joe.
They're giving a standing ovation for the guy who puts down a bunt?
Did he give a curtain call?
Well this hasn't gone as expected. Back from Occidental College and watching volleyball.
Hot up in that bish, fo sho.
Milk was a bad choice.
Does Weaver still have his bases-loaded magic?
Hey, it's EK giving some science.
Joe cracks me up when he sprints from the dugout to the third base line and then strrrrooolllls to the mound.
Boy, them Saint Louie fans don't know fair from foul, do they?
Fack.
Sac fly! They're going to retire his number for that.
These people applaud sliding into second on the double-play.
Not much going on in St. Looie, eh?
2 runs will probably be more than enough. . .unless they bring in Franklin.
OH SHIT NO NO
NONONONONONONONONO!!!!
Oh for the love of shit. Let it be a cramp.
Base hit, Joyce. Just a hit.
Please?
Everyone pray that's just a cramp.
We have zero depth at first base in the minors.
SAVE US, BEARD.
Good at-bat, Joyce. Albecracky just called.
Your room is ready.
Meanwhile...
How the hell can paint be hi-def?
Tomorrow we will lose by forfeit.
We should at least have a shot at the game tomorrow. Suppan is pitching.
We suck.
Is this a rerun from April?
Why is there no news on Loney yet?
Ah, just a cramp.
Fourth place again.
I just got back from Dave and Buster's in Irvine, watching the D-Bags hand another win to the fucking Pod-rays.
Why can't we be playing in the division right now?
Oh, and the Angels won.
yay.
