Game 95 Thread: July 21 vs. Giants, 7p

Chad Billingsley (7-5, 4.61) vs. Barry Zito (8-4, 3.51).

COMMENTS: So, you like pain? Don't be shy. Any Dodger fan watching tonight's game — after six straight losses to start the second half — is clearly a glutton for punishment. Here's how it's going to go: We'll start off nice and gentle, a 1-2-3 inning here, a good defensive play there. Maybe even take the lead. But I can tell you're the type who likes it rough, so we're going to give you some hope going into the late innings. Those extra runs only seem like insurance runs, heh heh. And just wait until the other team gets into the Dodgers' bullpen — that's when the real fun starts. Oh, and just in case? The safe word is

Come on! Don't do it Joe! We need to keep him healthy!

NicJ said...

So is the funeral for Kuo's elbow going to be directly after the game?

karina said...

Torre has his favorites and he doesn't hide it.

NicJ said...

Joe isnt coaching tonight.

Although there is a phone in the dugout.

Fred's Brim said...

Yes CASEY!

Kyle Baker said...

CF didn't even come CLOSE to catching that without trapping that, then tried to sell it. Lying little shithead.

MR.F said...

I just said a prayer for the safety of Kuo's arm.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

BEARD HERO!!

karina said...

Hey, have faith! stop sending negative vibes, HCK elbow is too weak to stand those!

Josh S. said...

A RUN!

karina said...

La Barba atacks!

NicJ said...

Does Zito's outrage look a little phony to anyone else?

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

I want Tony Romo to pitch

MR.F said...

Yay. Maybe if we score enough runs, there won't be pressure to use Kuo.

karina said...

Romo has curious facial hair on his Gameday photo.

NicJ said...

if we get one more i would run bills out there.

NicJ said...

james is king of the popup tonight.

Fred's Brim said...

somewhere, Eric Collins is counting down the outs

NicJ said...

LETS GO BILLS!!!

CLAP..CLAP.. CLAPCLAPCLAP

Josh S. said...

Bills is coming back in. You can tell Joe's not there.

Steve Sax said...

Holy shit, we are actually up 2-0 late in the game. About to hop on a flight, so I'll expect to see comments about our crushing defeat when I land in an hour's time.

Go Dodgers!

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Can't fight urge...

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

There's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When ya know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there's no place like home

Time's are changing everyday
We won't get by with the same old ways
No-oooo pulling together will make it right
With help from are friends I know we can right

Cause there's no place like home
With your family around you you're never alone
When you know that your loved
You don't need to roam
Cause there ain't no place like
Better believe it
I said their no place like home
"I mean no place child" .

Kyle Baker said...

Bills back out!

Josh S. said...

Manny Ramirez Action Figure*!

*Calf not included.

Steve Sax said...

We so need a win it hurts

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

If Kuo comes in, have the Skele-Gro at the ready!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Bills still pitching?

Kyle Baker said...

Four or FEWER, Vinny. Not four or less.

Fred's Brim said...

I figured they left Bills in so he could bean Sandoval

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Hanging (in there) Chad

Kyle Baker said...

@FB

You couldn't miss!

Steve Sax said...

Delino, I'm cool with the 227 sniping, but could ya' at least fix the typo in the second-to-last line? Argh!

NicJ said...

odd time to break out that pitch.

Fred's Brim said...

wow

NicJ said...

of course sandoval has a long at bat to lead off the inning.

Josh S. said...

Thighron Man!

Kyle Baker said...

^And in the last line, DD.

NicJ said...

SO CLOSE!!!

Kyle Baker said...

I'm not on Twitter now. Is MSTI putting out a jinx?

Paul said...

One more out!

NicJ said...

YOU GOTTA HOLD ONTO THAT SHIT MARTIN!!!

Kyle Baker said...

One more strike!

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

I just copy and paste. Don't get paid to spell check

Paul said...

Come on come on come on.

Kyle Baker said...

Bills, I want to make sweet, sweet love to you tonight.

Josh S. said...

BILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSS!!!!!

Fred's Brim said...

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Bills the stopper.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

GOOD GOD A CGSO

Nostradamus said...

Sweet baby Jesus, we won?

karina said...

I'm so proud, go Blue!

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Anyone in the yard tomorrow?

Kyle Baker said...

@Neeebs

In keeping with tradition, no, I won't be attending a game on the same night as you do.

DAMMIT

Steve Sax said...

Holy shit we won a game!

Flight attendant is fighting with me to turn off my blackberry but I am resisting! Do you see what sacrifices I make for you, Dodgers? As they wrestle me to the ground I remain committed satdsjhju sdhfdw

Fred's Brim said...

I feel a little better now. I hope that's something Chad can build on

NicJ said...

Bills looks so happy right now.

Kyle Baker said...

@Sax

Tell them you're the air marshall and to STFU.

Paul said...

No sweep for you!!

karina said...

@Dusty Baker 9:32 PM from this moment on, I have a bottle of that with me at all times.

It'd be nice if other witches and wizards of the LA area practice "Episkey", just in case Skele-Gro is not available ;)

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

DD and DD II will likely be at the game tomorrow

Paul said...

Do we still remember how to make party?

NicJ said...

TIME TO GET ROWDY!!!!!!!

ONE IN A ROW!!!!

ONE IN A ROW!!!!


(Flips over coffee table)

Kyle Baker said...

Time for the IADTPGT (It's About Damn Time Post-Game Thread).

Kyle Baker said...

I'm headed down to Staples Center to set a taxi on fire.

karina said...

@Paul make party is like riding a bicycle!

Kyle Baker said...

I'm also going to fly 6 Dodger flags on my car tomorrow. What time does the one game in a row parade start?

Paul said...

Winning streak!!!! Come on everybody let's go streaking!!!!

NicJ said...

The heat did less than the dodgers and got a rally. we should get one too

Josh S. said...

STOP SALIVATING OVER OYSTER PUBES!

Paul said...

The Dodgers nead to lead the nation again and I think we can do it.

Kyle Baker said...

@Josh

That should go without saying.

NicJ said...

did Lyons just say the mets are playing good baseball right now?

they are 2-8 in their last ten games.

Kyle Baker said...

@Nic

That's good - for us!

NicJ said...

yeah, they are literally the only team playing worse baseball than us in the national league.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

But all that means is that the Mets will sweep us.

At least we don't get Pelfrey.

karina said...

I'm worried about something: why the Dodgers miss Santana when he's not that good and face him when he performs like the 2-time Cy Young he is?

We'll have to be confident the Mets bullpen is more inept than ours.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Oh wait it's Niese pitching today. Nevermind. Pelfrey goes Saturday.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Wait, I just realized Kershaw won't pitch Sunday (appeal pending)!


DAMMIT

Kyle Baker said...

Not that this team affects my life or anything, but...I'm heading to bed because I literally was so mad last night after the game that I couldn't sleep. Today I was rally grumpy, and so was my boss (we went to game together), and the workday was really difficult.

So I'm going to sleep to dream me some Blue dreams.

Orel said...

PGTUP!
