Game 108 Thread: Aug 4 vs. Padres, 7p

Vicente Padilla (4-3, 3.47) vs. Wade LeBlanc (5-9, 3.49).

COMMENTS: Hang on to your codpieces, because the Dodgers are going streaking! Hot off their one win in a row last night, the team is poised to rip off a string of victories the likes of which we haven't seen in quite a long time. If the Dodgers win two in a row, they will have tied their record for most consecutive victories, at home or on the the road, in one and a half weeks. Think positive thoughts and you can help make it happen!

No jury in the world would convict me!!!! They'd see the case and be like "YOU were the guy who stopped Sherrill from pitching?!? Not guilty!!" I'd probably get the congressional medal of honor for that!

spank said...

Come on Carroll use the periphials

Kyle Baker said...

That's a good point, WDDIM. You'd probably get a hero's welcome anywhere you went. Never have to pay for a meal.

karina said...

@Paul I think I'll need some White Sox gear for October

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

He can even hit.

Fred's Brim said...

Padilla's single means we clear Podsedik!

karina said...

I hate @mlb right now.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@FB - nice!

Paul said...

I remember hitting a 52 mph pitch when I was 8.

Nostradamus said...

@Karina

Did they jinx it? Steiner has been blathering on about it for two innings already.

Kyle Baker said...

Battletoad is one cool customer this evening.

spank said...

The Pod Rays are dazed and confused with Senor Eephus

NicJ said...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Paul said...

Crap. I blame Mr. C.

spank said...

Does that mean Torre's bringing the hook?

Fred's Brim said...

*applauds for 'toad*

Fred's Brim said...

Ryan Ludwick, you can go to hell

what_difference_does_it_make said...

Well, there goes the no hitter...

Nostradamus said...

@Paul

I'll wear it if no one else will.

Kyle Baker said...

Vinny said "no hitter" and within 2 seconds Battle Toad had given up a hit.

Fred's Brim said...

Belli2 would have still been treading dirt on that play

karina said...

@Mr C they were discreet but just in case, I closed Twitter because that was the first thing that popped.

Steiner is despicable tonight.

Paul said...

Darn it. That one was Neeebs fault. Just because.

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"

Nostradamus said...

Not only was he talking about it, he was talking about the superstition of not talking about it.

Fred's Brim said...

You can watch the Padres for free on MLB.tv if you have Cox cable.
hoo ray

MeanieBreanie said...

Karina, isn't Steiner always despicable?

NicJ said...

Not even close, DD.

Paul said...

Mr. C

in the end it was Chuck's fault. We are all his pawns.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Vin has always hated the idea of broadcasters keeping shut about no-hitters. What he says does nothing to the pitcher, and yet people blame him like he punched the pitcher in the gut.

Josh S. said...

That one's on me, folks. Mrs. S asked why they didn't have someone run for VPad. I didn't say the words, but I heavily hinted and pantomimed as to why he needed to stay in.

Nostradamus said...

Double D emerges from the murky depths for the 227 attempt.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Still a nice outing from V-Pad.

karina said...

Blame's on Steiner, not Mr C.

We could also blame the Giants fans.

Paul said...

Hey that is guy who sings too loud at my old church!!

Steve Sax said...

Whoo hoo! 4-0 through mid seven!

Steve Sax said...

Whoo hoo! 4-0 through mid seven!

Fred's Brim said...

"You wouldn't know it by looking at him, but he's actually very fast. When he played dodgeball in school no one could hit him.."

spank said...

Who's that singing? Paul Williams

NicJ said...

you can ALWAYS blame the giants fans.

Fred's Brim said...

Paul you know all the famous people this week!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Why are only FB and I the ones blaming Ludwick? I thought he'd be an easy target!

karina said...

@MeanieBreanie I couldn't tell, I don't have to stand him on a regular basis like you do :)

Nostradamus said...

When in doubt, I always blame Nick Swisher, just because.

Paul said...

@FB

I need my own reality show.

spank said...

Headly

NicJ said...

this is when the padres season starts to fall apart.

Josh S. said...

Theriot can only get accidental XBHs.

karina said...

Hahahaha, NicJ, can I quote that?

Fred's Brim said...

I was wating for Da Riot to try for 3rd on that one

Paul said...

Mr. C

someday we need to have a who hates Nick Swisher more contest.

Nostradamus said...

@mb

Most times, I wouldn't go further than blind/annoyingly jovial. Not so much this time.

Josh S. said...

Theriot, meet third. I'm not sure you've
met before.

Fred's Brim said...

@Nic they have been garbage in the field today. maybe they are getting a little too comfortable

NicJ said...

Im telling you our bad fielding has finally rubbed off on the padres.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Bud Black has some kind of Kemphobia today.

Kyle Baker said...

I want to see you re-enact that pantomime sometime Josh. The thought of it is cracking me up.

Kyle Baker said...

Someone must have gone Inception on Bud Black and planted a scary thought re Kemp in his mind three layers deep.

Josh S. said...

Theriot is USELESS.

NicJ said...

Bowa is going to flip out.

Kyle Baker said...

Why is Theriot running on that? Hate to be overly conservative, but shit.

spank said...

Great base running. Could not have done it better myself

Fred's Brim said...

that'll be the run we lose by

NicJ said...

Matt kemp is pretty useless too. Put it in the air you dolt.

Fred's Brim said...

what's the Theriot nincompoop stat?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I don't care for you, Theriot.

Josh S. said...

Notice that Yorvit gently waving his arm was enough to push Theriot off the plate.

Kyle Baker said...

@FB

1.000

karen said...

Matty got a clean steal

Woo Hoo

Josh S. said...

TOOTBLAN: Thrown out on the basepaths like a nincompoop.

Kyle Baker said...

Battle Toad coming back in.

spank said...

Chente is coming back out. Is Torre turning a new leaf or is he just taking a nap?

Kyle Baker said...

Why does that Taiwan commercial have a song about mimosas?

NicJ said...

i wonder what our team TOOTBLAN is.

Kyle Baker said...

Have we even seen Torre tonight? He and Ken Griffey Jr are in the back napping, I think.

Kyle Baker said...

@Nic

1.000

Paul said...

@Dusty

I was thinking the same thing. That must be a popular drink.

Kyle Baker said...

@Paul

I don't need to travel to Taiwan for OJ and cheap champagne. Pass.

Fred's Brim said...

argh that stat about the starters era kills me

Kyle Baker said...

Sherrill warming up. WDDIM do your thing!

Fred's Brim said...

haha Theriot almost overran that

spank said...

Bad Ass

Paul said...

I think there is a shortage. Doesn't the song go "Bring you mimosas"?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Padilla's thrown 27 balls so far, which is one for each batter he has faced.

Fred's Brim said...

maybe wddim has one of those net guns he can shoot at Breezy

Paul said...

your not you.

Man the Padres offense sucks. I would hate to see this kind of ineptness every game.

Fred's Brim said...

Vinia Mojica in the game again

Kyle Baker said...

@Paul

Something like that. Is Taiwan somehow known for its rich, native mimosas and I have never heard of it?

Or can't I go to almost any other country in the world and get mimosas? Except for places like Chad or Djibouti, I suppose.

Kyle Baker said...

Mojica looks like he needs a mimosa.

karina said...

@Paul ineptness?I thought this is the way professional baseball teams hit.

Is it a better way?

NicJ said...

I would hope that torre would let padilla at least start the 9th, pitch to a batter and see what happens.

NicJ said...

only 96 pitches. Let him go out there and at least get a standing ovation.

karina said...

@Fred's Brim @Dusty Baker @Paul everyone needs a mimosa, all the time.

Kyle Baker said...

Angels lost, Nats are about to win, Gnats lost, we could possibly win. Yea!

Making it a wash, Yankmes won.

Fred's Brim said...

all of these "good" NL teams have garbage offenses. Atlanta, St Louis, SF, SD. These are the kinds of teams that get their overrated pitching exposed and batters completely shut down in the World Series

Kyle Baker said...

Completely agree, Karina. If I had any OJ, I'd make one now. Note that I have champagne but not OJ.

karina said...

@Dusty did you hear A-Rod hit his 600 HR?

spank said...

Never had or seen a mimosa. Is it really O.J. and Champagne?

Sounds like it would give you chorro

NicJ said...

Did Carroll just knock out another one of our pitchers with his hustle?

bastard.

Josh S. said...

Kuo again? Is Kenley Jansen dead?

Fred's Brim said...

@karina: yesplease!

karina said...

@Dusty Baker There are champagne and OJ in this house, all the time!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Not only does Carroll get on base, he steals second, taking away the double play.

Douchebag.

Kyle Baker said...

Is Don't Ask, Dotel dead?

Paul said...

This inning is giving Torre too much time to think.

Josh S. said...

Yay VPad! Joe must not be there.

NicJ said...

Torre MUST be sleeping.

Fred's Brim said...

yeah he's hitting!

Kyle Baker said...

@Spanky

Mimosas are kinda weak for a big tough guy, but on the other hand it gives you the excuse to drink about 15 for breakfast Sunday morning and not be looked at askance, like if you drank 15 beers on a Sunday morning.

Paul said...

Padilla is our best hitting option anyways.

spank said...

GAARP is reading bedtime stories to Torre

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Padilla does have half the hits San Diego has.

Nostradamus said...

@other lushes in this thread besides me.

I think they're probably referring to the tree, not the beverage. Never know, though.

Josh S. said...

Hee. Vin thinks 1964 is "in recent memory."

NicJ said...

how the hell do you drink a tree?

Paul said...

Plus the ladies love mimosas.

NicJ said...

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Josh S. said...

The old Nicaraguan FU!

Paul said...

Padilla pinch hit for himself!!

karina said...

@Spank not at all, it's nutritive and some people swear it's great for hangovers.

@Fred's Brim come over and I'll make you one!

NicJ said...

GAARP just made a sad face in the dugout.

Nostradamus said...

vPad sez "Go fuck yourself, San Diego!"

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Padilla has as many hits as the Padres! Stay classy, San Diego!

karina said...

Vicente Padilla FTW!

Kyle Baker said...

@Mr C

Then I definitely don't want to go all the way to Taiwan just to see some damn tree.

Unless it's a tree that bears mimosas.

MeanieBreanie said...

@Karina, any alcohol is great for hangovers.

spank said...

CHENTE!!!!!

Mimosas are a drink I would put in a large tumbler glass then.

Fred's Brim said...

@wddim I hope you brought your sleeping bag because you shouldnt ever leave the LFP

Josh S. said...

The cheap mimosas in Vegas gave me a hangover while drinking them.

Nostradamus said...

Oh god, are champagne hangovers awful, though.

Kyle Baker said...

"The old Nicaraguan FU!"

Nice. That meant something else to the Contras.

NicJ said...

Im so glad we are free of Russell Martin's evil hip labrum.

Steve Sax said...

Padilla baybee

Fred's Brim said...

If Padilla keeps up his recent pitching for the next two months, we won't be able to afford him next year

Kyle Baker said...

That's a fine plan, Spanky. I like the way you roll.

You could just pour the other people's into a little champagne flute then just keep the pitcher for yourself.

NicJ said...

alright, at least padilla will get a little breather now.

Paul said...

We rock. What kind I say. Simply the best.

Fred's Brim said...

sweet jesus what's going on here?

spank said...

I think the mimosa talk has livened the bats

what_difference_does_it_make said...

WattsRiots is starting to look a lot better than Joyce DeWitt...

NicJ said...

seems like i havent seen a someone in blue hit a legit gapper in a while.

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

That booze-bearing tree may explain a lot about why China has such a hard-on to get Taiwan back.

Josh S. said...

Everyone else is making Dre and Matt look like chumps.

Nostradamus said...

DRE!!!

NicJ said...

FUCK OFF SAN DIEGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

karina said...

@Josh I'm sorry for that.

@Meaniebreanie I know, but some people find some types of alcohol unbearable when hangover (I've heard because as I get drunk easily, I've only two hangovers in my life)

spank said...

Holy Shit what is this

MeanieBreanie said...

Whoo hoo! We're winning. We make big party. Mimosa's anyone?

karen said...

The Pods true colors are shining through

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

RUNS GLORIOUS RUNS

Kyle Baker said...

E with the criminal behavior!

Fred's Brim said...

i'd forgotten what that looked like

Paul said...

That is the last of the Mujica.

Josh S. said...

OK, Matt is the only chump then.

Kyle Baker said...

Don't look now, but Angels are under water.

karina said...

@Meaniebreanie come over, I'll make fresh juice for everyone.

@Spank mimosas are the solution.

spank said...

Got Kemped again

MeanieBreanie said...

@Karina, only two? You have my respect. * * Still shudders at the thought of working off a champaigne and martini hangover last week while playing in New York.

karina said...

I can't believe this inning, go Blue!

NicJ said...

i want to go into my back yard and howl at the moon.

Paul said...

I am going to make a new drink called a Mujica. That guy made my night.

Fred's Brim said...

ahh it makes sense now. There was a rainout and they are showing a game from last year. Usually they put something like "Rain Delay" in the upper corner, but I guess they forgot

NicJ said...

1 down!!!

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

So *that's* how those OC fuckers were planning to get a beach!

Fred's Brim said...

good call, Paul! what will be in it?

Kyle Baker said...

That's right Mr C. Way to bring it all back around!

Fred's Brim said...

@MB what did you get into in NYC? You had fun I take it?

Kyle Baker said...

@Paul

And when you finish the last glass, it will indeed be the last of the Mujicans.

NicJ said...

WOOOOOOO!!!!

(does ric flair strut around room)

Kyle Baker said...

What DIDN'T MB get into, more likely.

Paul said...

@FB

has to be something with soda water to represent the flying baseballs.

One more out and We. Make. Party!!!!

NicJ said...

finish it up the MR. C's defense.

NicJ said...

YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Kyle Baker said...

Love Hiro and Bills laughing at VPad's soap bubble from the dugout.

Fred's Brim said...

YAHOO!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

CGSO BITCHES!!!

karen said...

Outstanding win by the good guys

Paul said...

That's my frog! That's my frog!!!

spank said...

That was one hell of a well pitched game my friends.

NicJ said...

taste the happy!!

karina said...

@Paul as long as there's rum involved.

@Meaniebreanie martinis are like women's breasts (I learned the hard way).I do this with my friends: give them a lot of gatorade, fresh juice, water, a pill, noodle soup and/or a typical food called empanadas.

Kyle Baker said...

WDDIM:

Don't move! Don't change a thing! We'll send food and beer.

MeanieBreanie said...

@Fred, had a great time. Went up for a little business but mostly play. Shopped, ate, drank, saw a show and shopped some more. What else is a girl to do? One of my friend's left her husband at home and the Texas tornadoes tore it up. We had soo much fun! We're ready to go again.

karina said...

We make party!VPad is a hero!

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina:

Wait! How are martinis are like women's breasts again?

NicJ said...

Ive never had the urge to fondle a martini.

spank said...

2 in a row BABY.

I like flaming menudos for hangovers

MeanieBreanie said...

@DB, I'm a lot tamer than I used to be but I still can be a LOT OF FUN :D

Fred's Brim said...

haha good stuff, MB! We're still cleaning up from the destruction yall left

Fred's Brim said...

exactly DB - couldn't let that one pass!

Kyle Baker said...

@MB

You'll have to hit up LA sometime, too.

MeanieBreanie said...

Congrats to VPad for a well pitched game and his first win against the PODS since 2004.

Kyle Baker said...

>400 comments on a winning night. Lovin it. Not many signs of the Sons, though.

karina said...

Vicente got la Victoria!

Nostradamus said...

@karina

That conversation took a hard left turn, and half the people in here totally lost their train of thought.

Paul said...

This interpreter has a good memory. I forgot what he asked by the time he finished the question.

MeanieBreanie said...

Karina, ok you have me dying of curiosity. How are martini's like women's breasts? Mine are dying to know.

spank said...

AHHH! Woman's breast and Martini's.

GOOD TIMES

NicJ said...

i think we are all waiting for that explanation.
