Game 115 Thread: August 12 @ Phillies, 4p

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.

Goddamn right that was a strike.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Okay, seriously, the tying run's on deck and "Beat LA" has already started?

rbnlaw said...

Philly with the "Beat LA" chant?

That's so San Fran.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

The Phils are like Zombies, but shots to the head still don't take them down.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LYONS?

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

I'll take a kiss from the pope if the dodgers can close this one out

NicJ said...

i dont like this at bat, too many pitches.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

MY Shakey's Pizza dinner aint sitting right

NicJ said...

not even close.

this one is over.

karina said...

@Mr F verb is "gozar". Second person, sunjunctive mode, archaic form of "tu", which is "vos". Where I live, it's used that archaic form, very uncommom in the rest of the Spanish-speaking world.

Fred's Brim said...

this is fun isn't it?

rbnlaw said...

Hi. I'm Jon Broxton.
I used to be a closer.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Plaschke's racing to his computer, trying to get that "Broxton's a wuss" article up. It's probably like Mad Libs for him.

"(Young Pitcher)'s failures against the (team) have just proven how incompetent he really is."

MeanieBreanie said...

Is the bar still open? Slivovitz, Goldschlager, Martini's or Mimosa's anyone?

rbnlaw said...

I used to know where the plate was.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Meanwhile my son is demanding to watch mahna mahna for the 1000th time

NicJ said...

someone please cut of eric collins mic. its the curse.

rbnlaw said...

@DD: The pope is licking his lips, but he will likely go unrequited.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Phils games aint over till the fat lady throws up on a kid

karina said...

*uncommon

hate this keyboard

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"

MR.F said...

Wow. Vos. My Spanish teacher in high school mentioned how that's used in certain parts of the world. That is awesome.

Fred's Brim said...

@MB one of each please, and make them doubles

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I hate this team.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

The Pope;s hips dont lie

NicJ said...

i blame all the bloggers that rail torre everytime he uses his good relievers in blowouts.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

the good news is one pitch can end this misery

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

BROXTON STILL GOOD CLOSER BLAME TORRE HAR HAR HAR XFIP

NicJ said...

all we need is a triple play, we got this.

MeanieBreanie said...

@FB - I'm right there with ya. There's nothing like drowning one's sorrows.

NicJ said...

well at least moriyama can blame casey now.

MeanieBreanie said...

And the misery continues!

rbnlaw said...

Someone remind me why I follow this team and not the Pirates? or Orioles? or Royals?

They're shitty!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Oh god it's Ruiz. Three-run walkoff right now.

NicJ said...

this was expected, clayton pitched great tonight.

NicJ said...

great, ruiz.

Paul said...

I am gonna puke.

Fred's Brim said...

is there a batterd Dodger fan shelter I can go to tonight?

karina said...

No outs and the Sox are losing 6-1

MR.F said...

I hate the Phillies.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

How many people will call up DodgerTalk, railing against Torre for pulling Kuo after only a third of an inning?

karina said...

Can we play Assassins'Circle with the Dodgers? or Collins?

:)

NicJ said...

thats right ump, squeeze the already struggling pitcher.

Fred's Brim said...

no words

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

SURLY FACTOR INFINITY

rbnlaw said...

Raise your hand if you were surprised by the outcome of this game.

Thought so.

karina said...

@Mr F hahahaha, she was right.It's used on everyday conversation on very few places, as opposed to being used in literature.

In Venezuela it's only used like in 3 states.

Paul said...

You fuckin idiot. I am done with broxton.

karina said...

I need to eat something sweet.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Ethier just thought "At least I'm handsome"

Booger said...

This Team is bullshit! Broxton is a fat-ass pig!

MR.F said...

Nail in the coffin of our season.

rbnlaw said...

Someone is hurt, and his name is Broxton. You don't suck that bad without your last name being BELISARIO.

I'm calling it: Time of death 19:48

Josh S. said...

Pods for closer.

karina said...

Don't give up!

I choose to believe until numbers say otherwise.

Nostradamus said...

Well, that sucked.

NicJ said...

the dodgers are saying otherwise karina.

karina said...

8 runs in the last two innings.

MeanieBreanie said...

I think we deliberately tried to blow it and we did a spectacular job!

Josh S. said...

It's a good thing I'm dead or I'd be really upset right now.

NicJ said...

i would be really mad right now if i hadnt given up on this team about two weeks ago.

Paul said...

Phillies once again show us they are men.

MR.F said...

Karina,
I probably don't completely mean it. But I wasn't surprised by what happened tonight and I'm pretty numb to what happened. That's not a good sign...

karina said...

@NicJ hahahahaha!catholic school taught me to believe even if there's no logic.

Nostradamus said...

Yeah, we aren't so good.

MeanieBreanie said...

@Spank - it's for real. I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE! Beware, this assassin's wrath will be directed at you tomorrow.

karina said...

@Mr C but they can improve.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

You can put glitter on crap, but it's still just going to be sparkly crap.

NicJ said...

did Brox get an out yet?

NicJ said...

SELL SELL SELL

spank said...

@ MB

I don't think I'll make it through the night after this bullshit. Even a spanking can't cheer me up.

(tightens noose)

Paul said...

I will try to watch as little as possible. I am not watching this crap.

Part of me hope they tank it quickly now. No more hope. Hope is in a family law courtroom in LA. Hope is in 2011 where we will still be predicted to finsih third or fourth.

spank said...

When is the hearing again? Next Week?

Paul said...

My dry spell might be over. Time to hit the hard stuff.

karina said...

Earlier,I went to a showing of a shortfilm I worked as an art director.My friends wanted to eat and drink and I declined because I didn't want to miss the whole game :(

karina said...

"Okay, Mr. Wrightman, I gotta bat but let me leave you with this advice - you love the Sox (Dodgers) but have they ever loved you back?

I'm afraid of the answer.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

I blame MC for not changing his Avatar.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I guess I have to go into sports hiding. No ESPN, no MLB.com, no 710, just complete isolation until this shitstorm blows over.

Paul said...

I think in two weeks Spank.

karina said...

@Neeebs it's my fault,then.This avatar was for Assassins'Circle purposes and then posted with it on the GT.

Fabiola's avatar is back for tomorrow.It gave good mojo a couple of years ago.

NicJ said...

at least the raiders are losing.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Yes. The Raiders are losing. But the sinkhole still has not swallowed both teams.

NicJ said...

haha, nice .

Paul said...

It is EK's fault! Get him! Oh wait he is dead. His hair still looks great!

NicJ said...

I wonder if any other guys on the roster have made it through waivers yet.

NicJ said...

Dodgertalk finally gave in and said the dodgers are done.
