Game 105 Thread: Aug 1 @ Giants, 5p

Clayton Kershaw (10-5, 2.96) vs. Matt Cain (8-8, 3.14).

COMMENTS: I'm not gonna lie — it's kinda bleak in Dodgertown right now. The Boys in Blue have reversed their kick-only-NL West-ass policy, and the organization just traded a big bunch of young guys for a smaller bunch of older guys.

On the bright side — and there's always a bright side, even if you have to look under the table to find it — Chadley proved himself a warrior yesterday and Kershaw is back from his suspension today...right in time to face the team he was pitching against when he got suspended. How meta!

Somehow, Cain has never beaten the Dodgers in 14 tries, which is pretty amazing if you think about it. (Go ahead, I'll give you a second.) Today would be a great day for that streak to continue, if only as a nice welcome to Messrs. Lilly, Theriot and Dotel.

Sex pistols will be accepted.

@Mr. C:
I miss Steve Jones on the radio.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I have begun rooting for the Rangers.

rbnlaw said...

Go Rangers; Go Rays; Go Braves; Go White Sox. Anyone but the usual fucking suspects.

rbnlaw said...

Is it almost safe to reveal the SOSG fest location?

rbnlaw said...

This just in: a defensive play that went our way.
Stay tuned.

Nostradamus said...

@rbn

I believe it was already revealed in a prior thread.

rbnlaw said...

[anger]FUCKING KERSHAW HAS BEEN NAILS TONIGHT. WHY DON'T YOU IMPOTENT MOTHEREFFERS HIT A GODDAMN BASEBALL AND SUPPORT HIM????? [/anger]

rbnlaw said...

Mr. C:
I missed it, being in San Diego and all.

So where?

NicJ said...

its starting to look like joe has checked out.

Every time they show him in the dugout it looks like he is thinking of horses.

Unknown said...

The "Runstipation" must stop!

rbnlaw said...

@Nic: He's not dating Jeannie Buss, is he?

Nostradamus said...

@rbn

El Toro Cantina, near Farmer's Market.

Nostradamus said...

Russell is terrible.

rbnlaw said...

Nice location. Never been there, so it would've been cool. Especially with me there.

Dear Dodger Line-up,

IT'S MATT FUCKING CAIN, NOT C.C SABATHIA. WAKE UP!!!!11!!

rbnlaw said...

No tell, do-tell, Holiday Inn. . .

Kyle Baker said...

Is it legal to type "molest with plunger" on this blog?

Nostradamus said...

Too much to ask for some two-out madness.

rbnlaw said...

The Boxmasters are singing my life right now. Just sub Dodgers for the Cards, and the Gnats for the Cubs.

Really, a great song.

NicJ said...

so where is the "SOSG season funeral" going to be?

NicJ said...

worst trade ever.

Kyle Baker said...

Re the "offense"

I haven't felt this unrequited since junior high.

Kyle Baker said...

@Nic

My backyard. Tomorrow morning.

Nostradamus said...

Seriously, can we juste reallocate some of those runs from when we were losing 9-14?

NicJ said...

i cant believe that a three day ASB can fuck up an offensive rhythm this much.

NicJ said...

this season has been the epitome of the pitching and hitting not being on the same page.

rbnlaw said...

@Nic: as if the offense or defense could read.

NicJ said...

haha, we are literally the worst team in the league since the ASB.

rbnlaw said...

The crowd goes crazy for a flyball to Kemp.

Wonder why?

rbnlaw said...

It's gotten so bad, MLASF has stopped punching holes in his wall.

He is now painting pictures of flowers and fruit.

Josh S. said...

Our offense is being smothered by Joe West's chins.

rbnlaw said...

Well, this game should take the Dodgers off the national schedule for the rest of the year.

Betsy said...

gave up watching the game. dr zoidberg and I are watching top shot, at least these guys can hit something.

Nostradamus said...

At this point, I think MLASF's house is more of a gazebo.

rbnlaw said...

White flag is up; Sherrill warming up.

Nostradamus said...

Sherrill? I'm warming up the Winnebago.

rbnlaw said...

Fuck you, Edgar Rent-a-Ree-a

rbnlaw said...

Jeebus,
Strike this chick out.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This is what my house looks like now.

NicJ said...

so the collective dodgers have one more hit than blake dewitt tonight, beautiful.

NicJ said...

kinda looks like the deathstar.

karina said...

Epale everyone!

sorry I didn't join you but I just finished "skyping" with my sister in law and my mom.

it ain't over 'till it's over

rbnlaw said...

The power of the beer coozy.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Rollicking success, that swap of DeWitt for Theriot.

rbnlaw said...

[bluto]IT AIN'T OVER UNTIL WE SAY IT'S OVER[/bluto]

rbnlaw said...

Raffy, please?

karina said...

@Mr LASF deconstruction is popular in contemporary art, maybe you'll be the next big thing. If someone asks what's your muse,you'd say it's out of frustration and anger due to lousy and shameful Dodgers playing,then people can interpret that as raw and authentique approach towards creation.

rbnlaw said...

Right now, I'd like to say that I really hate the McCovey Chronicles.

Thank you.

Steve Sax said...

Four hits all f'ing night. We are horrible.

rbnlaw said...

ESPN with the jinx-tempting

karina said...

@Rbnlaw you had me at Absolut.

@Mr C just read about the Aussie bartender and I think I have a crush on her and I'm straight.

Also your comments remind me of certain friend of mine from school.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Karina - It reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons where Homer goes nuts on a barbecue pit and it becomes art.

Nostradamus said...

@karina

I hope that's a good thing.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This one's for the season, Kemp.

rbnlaw said...

@karina:
Get to Anaheim, and I'll chill the bottle.

Got to be better than watching these guys in Blue right now.

rbnlaw said...

Hi! I'm Matt Kemp, and I used to hit the baseball a ton.

Not so much anymore.

NicJ said...

lets go padres!!

rbnlaw said...

and right when one of my favorite Offspring songs came on.

They're from Garden Grove, you know.

Orel said...

I consider it a moral victory that Kemp didn't end the game swinging at a slider away. PGT up.

Nostradamus said...

Ho-lee crap, we are really really awful.

Josh S. said...

I Steinered a little when that left the bat.

karina said...

This is painful.

rbnlaw said...

Hammerhead is a fucking awesome song.

The Dodger line-up is not awesome at all.

karina said...

@Mr LASF i almost mockied some conversation I heard a while ago.

@Mr C my friend has the most entertaining stories...

@Rbnlaw that's a tempting offer,it's sad I can't make it today ;)
