Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Vicente Padilla (5-3, 3.09) vs. Kyle Kendrick (7-4, 4.37).

COMMENTS: The Dodgers take their 10-13 record against the NL East to Philadelphia, where Padilla pays a visit to his old team. The Dodgers are "hot," riding a "two-game win streak" and having "handily" won four of their last six. A win today would give them the "momentum" to "make a run" at a playoff spot. And you can quote me on that.

Blake Gibbons (born June 21, 1961; California) is an American actor with a recurring role as Coleman on the long running Daytime television serial General Hospital.
He also played "The Dude" (Lyle) in The Summer of George episode of Seinfeld.
I'm worried about the soap bubble in a band box.
But this bubble has no trouble being in a box!
But, I thought they weren't bubbles 'til they get out of the box!
I'm hoping for another stellar performance from Padzilla, since I just picked him up on my fantasy team.
Holy shit Jay is hitting sixth!
That is it I am leaving work early.
I forgot how much I hate the Phillies until I saw their lineup. I feel bitch slapped all over again.
Where the fuck is Kemp? Clearly Torre has a headless bias.
Kemp lost his best friend on Sunday. GIVE HIM TIME TO GRIEVE!!!!
@MR LA SF: something happened to Rihanna?
Ladies and gentlemen, as we embark on this critical three-game series, I would like to take a moment to express what I'm sure we're all feeling at this moment...
Phuck the Phillies.
Thank you. Now let's play ball.
That's too damn bad that Victorino's not playing today. Who's head will we throw at now?
Good start, Podsy.
Podsednik says "Fuck Weisman."
Even Lyons thinks Theriot sucks.
Steiner already failing to properly describe the action. "Great play" doesn't cut it.
Dre!
1-0 us!
Nice piece of hitting from Andre, and some smart running from Pods.
I'll take it...for now.
Up 1-0. Call the game!
I don't think DeWitt could have done that.
"Banana boat curve" dosen't make any sense, Charley.
Gibbons batting 1.000!
Gibbons has a nice swing.
It's on
I haven't used the At Bat desktop version in a while. Wow are those graphics fugly!
That was the second-worst outcome possible.
At least that clears the pitchers' spot for the third.
Got all excited and stuff then nothing
Fucking Werth.
That was a beauty of a DP.
CARLOS RUIZ GOT OUT!!!
Bunting with nobody on drives me nuts. Glad it worked.
The Andre Ethier Show, everybody!
ANDRE!!!
YaY Dre !
Damn.
Gotta drive home now.
Nice Jay!!
3-0 Dodgers, mid-3
This lead won't hold up, so I'm glad we're scoring runs
Jay Gibbons is 3-for-3 as a Dodger. Chimps alive!
Gibbons' batting average of 1.000 is about 818 points ahead of GAARP.
AusMoss on base
Jay now only needs 25 more hits to match GA's total.
Down goes Rollins!
Only Steve Lyons would be pissed by Rollins getting an error on that play.
You can't stop our muderers row!!
this is the most productive Dodgers' line up I can remember in months. WooHoo Gobbons and Theriot!
If Theriot hits a granny I will not mock him for the rest of the season.
Rancho just get a damn hit...iendo
I'll give Theriot a pass for that one. No more mocking for the rest of the day.
theriot with the sac fly gives us run #4!
Kendrick is chased! 4-0 Dodgers
I didn't watch the play; was anyone surprised that Ausmus was held at third on sPod's single?
Oh Philly, I don't just hate your baseball team and wish that very bad things happen to it and its fans, I generally dislike and wish ill will upon your entire community.
Boy, Andre's almost as hot as Gibbons.
It's a Dre Day
KILL THEM WITH SINGLES!
@Sax
No it was hit pretty hard.
How are we doing this without GA's leadership?!?
SAFE!!!
We've been saving ourselves for Philly.
Did not realize how quick iPod was till now
SUCK ON IT PHILLY!!!
Come on Gibby!!!
That is what happens when you put in a bastard to pitch for you,Philly
And just like that, GibbonsMania is over.
Damn it he was pressing a bit. Gotta lay off the slider away.
Jay Gibbons strikes out during our rally.
Cut him! He's worthless!
Gibbons strike out was GAARPesque
7-0 Dodgers, mid 4
All nine starters have a run or a RBI except for Ackbar. It's a trap!
Don't worry the Admiral is directing the attack. He has his eyes out for the enemy.
Now it's a freakin' trap. Come on Chente
Fuck good AB by Werth. Padilla laboring a bit.
keep it together, vPad
Steve Lyons is really passive aggressive towards Dominic Brown.
six straight balls for vPad
that philly crowd is getting back into this...come on vicente
there's a strike... 3-1 count
3-2 count
Meh. I'll take it.
That was smoked. I'll take it.
only a sac fly, though...that's pretty reasonable considering.
7-1
Pssssh Ruiz. What damage can he do.....
This really is the Dodgers exercising all of their frustrations towards the Phillies.
called strike 3, padilla's out of the jam!
7-1 LA through 4
Minimal Damage
god damn i want a western bacon cheeseburger now
I didn't realize it was possible to score this many runs in a baseball game.
VPad's starting to fall apart.
Hmm...he's pitching more like Zsa Zsa Padilla now.
Anyone? No?
DAMMIT
Shiiiiiit.
ah, it might be time to pull the vPad. Gload HR makes it 7-4 LA.
Oh no.
WE NEED MORE POWER
That blast came from the Death Star!
That thing's operational!
Where the hell is Dusty?
MOAR RUNZ
FJL 2B!
GIBBONSMANIA IS ALIVE
JAY GIBBONS IS THE FUTURE OF THIS ORGANIZATION
So we scored over 10 runs. Does that mean our score resets to 1 again?
I'M GIBBON HER ALL SHE'S GOT!!!
I love it when the other team makes errors
Gibbons rocks!
11-4 LA
Gay for Jay.
The Gibbons family is going to have to get a restraining order because my family has been texting
so much!
I almost fell off the tredmill.
Jay Fuckin Gibbons!!
what? I miss most of the game because of salsa dancing class and the Dodgers are on an offense outburst?
do I ahve to look for another place to dance salsa tomorrow?
welcome back Belisario!
Go back to rehab, Belly.
Belated, but...
MONKEY TIME
Heh...
Andre in a zone again.
Gibbons looks like a funhouse mirror version of DeWitt.
Those hot dogs behind home plate look really unappetizing.
Prepare for massive Kempage.
KEMPAGE!
Yay for no pressure!
Okay maybe I won't throw something but I still wanted Jay up.
That'll get him back on track.
13-5!!!!!!
Monasterios time!I can't believe this score
21 runs scored since GA released. Just sayin'.
Skeed?
Holy hell, ladies and gentlemen! There is a distinct possibility that I may be Schleprock to this Dodger team. They seem to suck a lot less when I'm not watching.
I've had an assgload of that guy.
At least the pitching is flailing when the offense scores 13 runs.
Coming up: Rodriguez facing Gonzalez, Gonzalez owns K-Rod.
In winter baseball, those are great news.Not on the MLB.
@Josh so,you're saying GAAARP was THE problem in the ofeense.Now I know what Torre meant with intangibles.
Hey, El Tito de Bronze!
We've doubled our run count since I split. But instead of being happy I am going to pull a MOKM and be mad at our runs allowed.
@Spank pitching have been performing beyond expextactions,let's say this is a night off.
This is the night that you want to have mediocre pitching.
5 more outs. Where do I get my tickers for Gibbonswood?complete with a red wig.
Wait Bastardo is pitching for the Topes?
I was just playin' . I love when the floodgates retract.
OH NO!! FLAT BREEZY
I have lost track of this bullpen. Where is Biemel?
I'd really like to see one more out in this inning.
Breezy back where his suckyness started.
Breezy didn't completely suck.
He's on a roll.
Why Sherrill? Whyyyyyyyyyy
Man, I need food.
Possibly beer as well.
You can't stop Breezy you can only hope to designate him for assignment.
Boooooooo!
RT @chadmoriyama: Looks like Belisario is gonna be hitting the bottle again real soon.
Brutal.
Is Dre ready to carry this team to the playoffs?
@Rbnlaw barley is a cereal after all
@Paul: if Manny gets reactivated (which I doubt will happen), Breezy might just go DFA.
karina, your optimism and positive outlook on beer is admirable.
I barley noticed I haven't had a beer yet.
Breezy on deck? You're shitting me.
2 RUN DING-DONG FOR LA BARBA!!!
15 runs means we'll be shut out by Oswalt tomorrow.
/pessimism
Hail Barba power!
Hail Barba power!
The Beard adds insult to injury.
Away from
my tv. I had to listen to Chuck mess up that homerun call.
Way to work the count, Breezy.
@Rbnlaw Oswalt has lost before and can lose again.
Going to dinner. Beer included.
rb out.
Phiwwy's 'pen makes ours look spectacular.
@karina:
You are correct, miss.
So what was more unlikely:
a) Gibbons 3 for 4
b) Dodgers score in the 15.
c) Breezy gets a walk
d) Breezy pitches two solid innings.
@Rbnlaw one block away from one of the colleges attended, there is a place that sells beer (without the permit). They open from 9 am to 8 pm.
The excuse was getting barley as cereal for breakfast.
Place is called "La Embajada" so people say, depending on their intentions, they'll ask for tourist visa, resident visa or become a political refugee.
Oops Dodgers score 15.
Wait, someone walked a relief pitcher? That's atrocious.
Mr C are you showing pity for the Phillies?why?
@karina
No mercy, just in awe of the incompetence.
let the 8 run rally begin.
One more out and we make party!!!!
@Nic J are you shocked for thr 15 runs?
@Mr C thanks, if you feel some mercy for the Phillies, our friendship is endangered
We Got This
Dotel will face Edge.
Joe makes a boo boo.
Release the bloggers!!!
Ya know...if confidence is the issue, this won't help.
@josh, ive always thought he looked like edge too. haha.
Octavio in now for Costanza.
JOE USE BULLPEN TOO MUCH HE DUMB HAR HAR HAR XFIP!
@Josh - I'm going to use that when one of the statheads gets too chippy on twitter.
Up by 8 and they still freakin scare me like a little girl.
Quit fucking around Octavio
One more Dotelly.
Come on Oct!
nothing is safe here
Don't even mess with me fuckers and end this shit now
Not to be a stat nerd, but our run differential is still going to suck balls after this.
Fuckin throw strikes!!!!!
I'd like to buy an out, please.
I'd like to buy an out, please.
ABOUT FRIGGIN TIME DAMMIT
probably the least satisfying 6 run win ever.
I think if we score 15 a game we can make a run.
We make party, but we spilled our beer.
Series win tomorrow. Book it.
Can't do nothing normal man
That was not very fun. But at least we beat the Phillies.
Easy there, Schleprock.
chris carpenter is the biggest douche.
that is all.
I have a proposal: not mention how an increase in runs scored tonight means a decrease in runs scored
tomorrow.
Le t's not jinx ourselves.
15-9, I'll take it
Pads up 2-1 in the third
Giants losing 4-1 but it's to the Cubs, at home.
Karina, I'll try really hard to support your propsal! Good call.
