Clayton Kershaw (10-7, 3.19) vs. Joe Blanton (4-6, 5.65).
COMMENTS: So you want me to Penn another GameThread? How about this: if the Dodgers are going to turn this season around, this seven-game road trip against the NL East's best two teams is critical. We're 1-1 so far with a chance to take the series in Philadelphia if we can just do a little more of this and a little less of that.
No extra shenanigans like the Josh S. vs. Mr. C showdown we had last GameThread. Maybe it's the wrong game. I shut down the replay.

KEMP BACK IN LINEUP TORRE STILL DUMB HAR HAR HAR XFIP
I can't stop using that. It's an addiction.
TORRE LOOKED IN KUO'S DIRECTION SO HE NO SHOULD BE IN HALL OF FAME
Unfrozen caveman bloggers.
Dylan Hernandez says it's starting to rain. Lousy east coast, can't figure out what season it is.
TORRE USE BULLPEN MAN ON STRAIGHT DAYS HE STOOPID GET RID OF STOOPID MANAGER STOOPID GENERAL MANAGER
I think it may be time for a CAPSLOCK Dodger blog.
I know what's wrong with Kemp, we've been calling him the wrong nick all the time.
A journalist interviewing CarGo found out his nickname is "Little Pony".He asked Brad Hawpe why they didn't call him "horse" and he replied "he's too young"
Young Bison, then?
So we should call Kemp a calf?
If Manny is Bad Calf, does that make Kemp Good Calf?
DAMN YOU, FATTY FATTERSON
Killin' time.
@Mr C of course, since you can't kill Loney fan...sneaky!
I HATE YOU PAT BURRELL
Sax- Thanks for the video, great music.
Burrell GS puts the Giants up by four runs. Booooooo
@Jason, of course your tab is covered. I look forward to joining you and knocking back a few.
I'm so sick of the Giants.
@Mr LASF I'm sick of the Giants since 1989
In Venezuela, when someone makes a mistake or doesn't understand something explained several times, we say "no seas becerro" (don't be a calf).
Sometimes Kemp is a becerro.
"Sometimes Kemp is a becerro."
And a new nickname was born.
In fact, were I the type to change my avatar mid-GT, I would use this.
karina- So this new term can apply to anyone, right?
Like Ethier and Loney with lefties and fielding, Blake with everything, Podsednik with getting on base, and Theriot with not being a complete waste.
PODSEDNIK GOT ON BASE THREE TIMES LAST NIGHT.
You're like a dog with a bone.
@ Karina
Becerro is the same as a pendejo,No.
Huh.
Podsednik gets on base.
That NEVER happens.
.322 OBP with he Dodgers, it was under .300 before yesterday.
Wait, there's a game?
Twitter mentioned none of this.
I feel surliness in the air.
I'm looking at you Josh.
Steiner just called James Loney Andre Ethier.
That's a new one.
I'm more huffy than surly.
Woop de woop!
3-0!
IBB Ausmus? LOL
Make 'em pay, Clay.
Hey, we're winning! How unexpected!
Monday jinxed Clay. He brought up the 1-2-3 first stat right before the hit.
Steve Lyons just explained how beautiful Sweeney's swing was. After barely managing to pop it up.
Stupid Ethier/Theriot.
Note to Eric Collins: Balls that fall 20 feet short of the warning track are not "well hit."
Sweet. On track for a 27-0 victory, extrapolating that first inning out.
Boy, that Podsednik sure is awful.
What the hell is Andre doing?
I like games where we score runs better.
My hatred for the Cubs has never reached such an enormous high until right now.
It's good to know that Pods has my back in a blog slapfight.
STOOPID KEMP STOP BEING STOOPID
Ruiz is a fat Panamanian David Eckstein.
In other news, the Kogi truck has a a hot dog named after Raul Mondesi.
@Josh
That looks so horrifying, it must be delicious.
Yeah, it LOOKS awful, but I like everything they put on it.
@MC:
I think its time to retire El Shlepo.
Nine straight retired by blanton
Lousy Blah-nton
Kershaw gets his first K
@Neeebs
Hmm. Perhaps you're right.
However, I'm currently mobile, so there are technical difficulties.
god I can't stand Ruiz
and I bet he'll end up a Dodger at some point, and then suck
and epale, everyone
I hate the Phillies so much.
3-2 LA through 4
Riot leadoff single!
Some action here to start the inning.
Costas on MLB Network: "Dre whizzes one into right"
ewww
I think we're going to need a bigger lead.
OH WHAT THE FUCK LONEY
can i get in on this?
BLANTON YOU WEARING RED PANTYHOSE
not sure about that, but i'll take it
No tootblan!
That was one helluva slide
ok Matty, go the other way
that's ok Matty - you just missed it
Yay. A run.
i need a coke. anybody going to the store?
I can't wait to see that Theriot highlight
@Sax it was pretty good, but it would be better if it was DeWitt
christ - Joe is already calling Theriot "Ryno"
imagine how bad Raul Ibanez would be if he was a Dodger
good inning
Muse and Silversun Pickups snippets take Charley out and in from the break
nice job, Clayton
Let's score ausmus please
That Scott Podsednik is just so friggin useless.
cmon "Ryno," just a single
Rancho Ethier!
Pleeeeeease
@Sax I've wondered who's producing the radio shows. Whoever it is definitely makes interesting choices in music. I don't always like it, but it's always better than some canned "Dodgers Radio Bumper Music"
BLANTON YOU LOOK LIKE YOU JUST HAD YER WIZDOM TEEF OUT
cmon Dre, hit a granny so I can get a coke
and when I say granny, I mean some old drunk lady who can always be found at Chicky & Petes
wack
This will come back to haunt us.
STOOPID ANDRE STOP BEING STOOPID
Time to change my Avatar to counter that bad karma at bat.
Somehow I feel more...appropriate.
Did I miss my man Pods getting on again?
You did, Josh.
Kemper!
El Becerrrrrrrrrro.
BECERRO POWAH!!!
Mooo
Wow, Kemp HR.
Brad Ausmus said a naughty word
Lyons giving Kemp a pass on his terrible season.
I give Lyons a pass on nothing
"Oh, well, it's not fair to the player to be compared to Willy Mays, there's only one Willy Mays."
There's also only one player who dropped his pants during the middle of a game.
Okay, okay, two. Babe Ruth also.
La Barba!
The difference there was that Babe Ruth has sex with a woman on the field when he dropped his pants. Lyons? He accidentally touched his own scrotum
look at the little turd, faking that limp to get a bigger cheer
Accidently?
It's like Paul Pierce all over again.
make him swing, Clayton
damn
"YEAH! TWO-OUT WALK!! PHILLIES BACK IN THIS BITCH"
- nameless Philly drunk (aka Delino)
damn that looked good
That was a total strike.
christ, Clayton, why are you scared of these midgets with a 4 run lead?
nice work overall, Clayton. I hope you are a Dodger for a long time
@MLASF
Hey, DD isn't nameless.
TORRE USE KUO ON STRAIGHT DAYS HE STOOPID GO AWAY STOOPID MANAGER WE NO WANT YOU NO MORE
nice work, HLACK
I heart Kuo.
YOU SUCK PODS GET OFF THE FUCKING TEAM ALREADY
JOSH!!!!!! DID YOU SEEE THAAAAT??
Pods reads this thread.
*goes to check if scottpodsednikismyhomeboy.com is available*
VALDEZ YOU TOO SHORT!!
cmon Smelly Belli
Barbatastic!
BEARD!
Woohoo! More runs!
BEARD IS BAD AT EVERYTHING
yes Matty!
even though he had no idea where that went
STOOPID KEMP CAN'T HIT FOUL BALL PROPERLY
Now that I think about it, Theriot hasn't been a total waste today. Strange.
Jamey keeps it going
boos taking flight
lets hold a 7 run lead!
keep it down, Belli1
that's ok, keep throwing strikes
You stink, Belly. Lay off the sauce.
Belli looks like he lost weight in his time off
Hey what did I miss?
another high one
Jeez Belly, you're really not that good anymore.
Rusty Jones!
HOOK. BRING IT.
JOE NO PULL CRAPPY PITCHER HE DUMB HAR HAR HAR XFIP
FB
"another high one"
are you talking about, a pitch, my attempted kill shot on you, or just me in general?
yeesh
quit fucking aroun
I'm sure he saw someone on third.
@Paul haha just the pitch, but if the shoe fits... :)
@Josh: a pink elephant?
He hasn't gotten a single. fucking. out.
In time before the game ends.
Go Belisario! por los clavos de Cristo!
STOP PROVING YOUR DETRACTORS RIGHT
I hate the Phillies.
@Soank becerro is not as pejorative as pendejo (I don't know what your background is,are you venezuelan like me?)
Belly flop.
Oh Ronald. Please don't turn to alcohol after tonight's game.
Screw it. Use Broxton for two innings. The fuck do I care. His arm can fall off tomorrow. I WANT TO WIN THIS DAMN GAME, DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
Tuned in just in time to see Belli blow. Despite the runs we still have a good lead. **Crossing fingers hoping we hold it.
BLAKE YOU USELESS BASTARD GET OFF THE FIELD YOU SUCK
Tom Verducci is doing the color with Costas on MLB Network. And he he's actually alright. I don't know if he's done it before, but he seems pretty comfortable behind the mic
My surliness is pretty high as is. I should stop paying attention to this game...
all of these goddamn singles up the middle
i don't like this
That wasn't a bad pitch, Valdez just got enough of it to send it up the middle.
OH GOD NO NOT SHERRILL I WANT TO WIN THIS GAME NOT SHERRILL NOT SHERRILL PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY NO SHERRILL NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Why is Sherrill facing a guy batting .323 against lefties?
I'm amazed Torre left Belli in after the futility and then the unfathomable balk, then gives Jansen one hit and pulls him. I wonder if Torre is just calling in this season, he's not really explainable either.

It had to be this matchup, didn't it?
FML
This is one UGLY inning!
WHEW!!!!
I can't get mad at Rollins.Sherrill, I wanna say the foul language I never use directed at you, in English and Spanish
Dear Dodger Organization,
GIVE RONALD FUCKING BELISARIO THE AX!!!!
Surly factor +4
Sherrill got Ibanez out. Curse broken?
ZZ Top with another hit.
Such a sharp dressed man.
@Rbnlaw "calmate pa' que goceis" (relax so you enjoy yourself)
Nice hit Jay!
its insane how the bullpen just cant get outs here.
and right on cue the offense comes up lame the very next inning. We rarely ever answer back after a big inning.
I just realized tomorrow we get the Braves bullpen.
Watching White Sox-Twins, even if my beloved Sox are losing, I can't feel sad or surly.
Or for the love of (insert saint or savior here). Have to use Brox in a game that should never have been close.
RONALD BELISARIO: YOU ARE MY FOE!!
(unless you're buying)
Surly factor: 2
A win will likely make it -1.
Karina: What is the infinitive for "goceis" and what conjugation is that?
@karina:
My beer is right here.
Surly factor down to +3.
Nervous factor up to +6
i think i hate the phillies more than the giants.
@Rbnlaw I'll have to try another saint.Clearly, St. Anthony is not a Dodgers fan
Just throw, Big Man. Just throw.
Just throw, Big Man. Just throw.
please get the lead off guy.
thats not what i meant.
What the hell is in the bullpen gatorade dispenser?
@karina:
Go with St. Jude. Patron saint of hopeless causes.
maybe this is why torre only uses 3 guys in the bullpen.
5 pitches; 5 balls.
BRING ON ATLANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are so going to lose this game.
and I got 200.
can we please just put a starter in there, no one else can get outs.
YAY, a strike.
MONASTERIOS IS THE FUTURE OF THIS BULLPEN
If Broxton blows this game I add closer on the long list of needs.
