Josh S. said...: *looks for brains in Dodger dugout*

*goes hungry*; 8/13/2010 1:32 PM
Josh S. said...: I'm in center? I hope there are two or three cutoff guys between me and 2nd.; 8/13/2010 1:33 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Didn't mean to insinuate you were a talented, yet petulant fuck who needs to get his head straight if he wants to advance his career, Josh.; 8/13/2010 1:34 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Dittmore, though...he's a talented, yet petulant fuck who needs to get his head straight if he wants to advance his career.; 8/13/2010 1:35 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Rained out BP. Hope they get the game in. Otherwise, I'llhave to go to Plan B. First, I'll need a Plan B, though.; 8/13/2010 2:00 PM
Pride of Dong said...: Like I sang earlier, Don't Stop Believing!; 8/13/2010 2:03 PM
Josh S. said...: Brains?

Oh, rain. Never mind.; 8/13/2010 2:19 PM
Josh S. said...: So, even Mother Nature is telling the Dodgers not to bother?; 8/13/2010 2:47 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Mother Nature is PISSED...at Frank.; 8/13/2010 2:49 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Broxton is officially out of the closer role, according to Dylan Hernandez.; 8/13/2010 2:54 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Per Dylan H.:

Torre said he will still use Broxton in close games; just wants to take him out of closing role until he gets his feet under him.

On days Kuo isn't available, Dotel will close. Jansen could also be used.; 8/13/2010 2:54 PM
Eric the Ice King said...: On days when Dotel or Jansen aren't available, Torre will ask people in the front row of the Field level fans can get a ball 60 feet in a relatively straight line and will pinky swear not to throw meatballs to the home team.; 8/13/2010 3:03 PM
Josh S. said...: Eric, are you saying there may be an ulterior motive to this contest?; 8/13/2010 3:32 PM
Loney Fan said...: This was passed on to me by another SoSG follower. Notice the URL

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/dodgers/2010/08/dodgers-hang-on-to-take-twoofthree-from-phillies-96.html

Jumped the gun a little?; 8/13/2010 3:33 PM
MR.F said...: It's all the LA Times' fault.; 8/13/2010 3:34 PM
Josh S. said...: @DB: I just noticed "Keven, C."

Bravo, sir.; 8/13/2010 3:56 PM
Josh S. said...: Game starts at 4:35. I'm off at 5. I'm not even going to bother firing up Gameday Audio for those last 25 minutes.

I'm a sad zombie. I'd cry if I still had eyes.; 8/13/2010 4:18 PM
MR.F said...: Josh S.,
Does your monitor print out braille for you to read?; 8/13/2010 4:22 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Glad you liked that Keven C, Josh. I just about wet me pants when it hit me.; 8/13/2010 4:32 PM
Josh S. said...: @Mr. F: Yeah, it says Broxton is a bumpity-bumpin' pile of bump.; 8/13/2010 4:37 PM
Josh S. said...: That's right, Pods. We may go down in flames, but if you get on base a million times between now and the end of the season, it will feel like a win to me.; 8/13/2010 4:39 PM
Kyle Baker said...: We should be awarded a run every 5 times Pods gets a base hit plus a steal.; 8/13/2010 4:41 PM
Kyle Baker said...: We should also get free runs for having a high ratio of players who wear their unis the right god damned way.; 8/13/2010 4:42 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Attack of the LHWGs!; 8/13/2010 4:45 PM
rbnlaw said...: Dewey Beats Truman!!; 8/13/2010 4:52 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Someone just set up a new Twitter account: @KuosLeftElbow; 8/13/2010 4:52 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Beer status: Sioux City Sarsaparilla; 8/13/2010 5:14 PM
MR.F said...: Beer is nice.; 8/13/2010 5:14 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Can we just all have a Chipper Jones circle jerk then get on with it?; 8/13/2010 5:15 PM
MR.F said...: I don't know what a circle jerk is, but since Dusty suggested it, I'm sure it's a good idea.; 8/13/2010 5:27 PM
Josh S. said...: I have Stone IPA waiting for me at home.; 8/13/2010 5:29 PM
Kyle Baker said...: "since Dusty suggested it, I'm sure it's a good idea"

This philosophy will carry you far on life, Mr. F.; 8/13/2010 5:29 PM
Kyle Baker said...: GET HOME SOON, Josh.; 8/13/2010 5:30 PM
NicJ said...: lets go braves.; 8/13/2010 5:36 PM
rbnlaw said...: Beer;43.; 8/13/2010 5:42 PM
rbnlaw said...: DB,
If you think Steiner is bad, you should hear the way Collins has been going on about Cox, and balls. . .and strikes.; 8/13/2010 5:43 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Surly factor: 3 after switching over to audio feed.; 8/13/2010 5:44 PM
rbnlaw said...: Collins and Lyons aren't done beating that dead horse called last night's debacle.; 8/13/2010 5:44 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Collins is so bad he made me turn off the telly and listen to Steiner. That's bad!; 8/13/2010 5:44 PM
rbnlaw said...: I stopped for happy hour at Wingnuts in Costa Mesa. Had the chicken strips and 2 beers.

Eased my surly factor to a 2.; 8/13/2010 5:45 PM
rbnlaw said...: Blake could've run the ball over to 1st himself and still beat Glaus.; 8/13/2010 5:47 PM
rbnlaw said...: Trivia answer: 1 is Walter Alston. 24 seasons (more?) with the Blue.; 8/13/2010 5:47 PM
rbnlaw said...: 3 balls on the batter? Odd.; 8/13/2010 5:51 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Hiro looking shaky. Don't have a good feeling about this.; 8/13/2010 5:52 PM
rbnlaw said...: IF THE DODGERS LOSE THIS GAME IT IS BECAUSE OF MATT KEMP!!!; 8/13/2010 5:56 PM
rbnlaw said...: Apathy factor +3, but I don't know what that means.; 8/13/2010 5:58 PM
rbnlaw said...: Nor do I care.; 8/13/2010 5:58 PM
Kyle Baker said...: My god these are some Light-Hitting White Guys. It's like someone transplanted a scene from my back yard from 1979.; 8/13/2010 5:59 PM
karina said...: Epale everyone!

Back in 2008, Fabiola's avatar brought some luck.

@Rbnlaw are you still wearing the bracelet your daughter gave you?; 8/13/2010 6:12 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Epale, Karina!; 8/13/2010 6:13 PM
MR.F said...: Epale, karina!; 8/13/2010 6:13 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Great....rain coming.; 8/13/2010 6:16 PM
Josh S. said...: Pods should thank me for sticking up for his ability to get on base.; 8/13/2010 6:16 PM
karina said...: These days,the way my beloved Dodgers are playing,I think I could play some MLB baseball,at least I'm going to take a walk now and then ;); 8/13/2010 6:17 PM
karina said...: My older brother just taunted me by email.He must be having breakfast right now, thinking the best way to make fun of the Dodgers and me :(; 8/13/2010 6:19 PM
MR.F said...: karina,
That's cruel! What team does your brother support?; 8/13/2010 6:21 PM
Kyle Baker said...: We go to the 7th scoreless but with rain increasing. Boo!

Time for Dos XX.; 8/13/2010 6:23 PM
rbnlaw said...: @karina:
Yes I am. Had to trim it a little so it fits, but the blue and white is on the wrist.; 8/13/2010 6:24 PM
Steve Dittmore said...: @ Dusty 1:35 - are you sure you are not my department chair?; 8/13/2010 6:25 PM
rbnlaw said...: DB,
Would that be 2 dos equis?; 8/13/2010 6:25 PM
karina said...: The Atlanta Braves...remember when there was a rivalry?it still exists between us, even though he moved to Australia.

He called today and I refused to talk to him, I was too sad to discuss these upcoming games.

:(; 8/13/2010 6:25 PM
NicJ said...: cant we just call it a tie?; 8/13/2010 6:27 PM
NicJ said...: nevermind.

phils lose, lets go braves!!; 8/13/2010 6:28 PM
karina said...: are you bored,NicJ?; 8/13/2010 6:28 PM
Kyle Baker said...: No tenure for you, Dittmore!; 8/13/2010 6:32 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I was just about to type that we were having too many fly ball outs for my taste.; 8/13/2010 6:33 PM
NicJ said...: braves perfectly planning a 1 run win on a seven inning game.; 8/13/2010 6:33 PM
karina said...: Please, no rain, pleaseeeeeee.; 8/13/2010 6:34 PM
NicJ said...: i wouldn't say bored, indifferent.

im just rooting against team i hate rather than rooting for a team i love.; 8/13/2010 6:34 PM
NicJ said...: im going to be mighty pissed if texas blows it again and lets the angels into the playoffs again.; 8/13/2010 6:35 PM
Steve Dittmore said...: @Josh S - How is the Stone IPA? I opted for a Boulevard Singlewide IPA (KC beer) tonight. Love IPAs

Oh, yeah. New definition of insanity: watching Dodgers on MLB Network two nights in a row and expecting a different result.; 8/13/2010 6:36 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Nats win!; 8/13/2010 6:36 PM
Kyle Baker said...: It would be funny to sip a Singlewide from one's doublewide, no?; 8/13/2010 6:37 PM
karina said...: Thanks the Lord the White Sox are winning...; 8/13/2010 6:38 PM
rbnlaw said...: Let's go Nats!!!; 8/13/2010 6:38 PM
Steve Dittmore said...: @Dusty - Boulevard makes a Doublewide IPA as well, presumably for that very purpose.; 8/13/2010 6:38 PM
rbnlaw said...: @karina:
I'll have my daughter make a black/white bracelet for the Sox.; 8/13/2010 6:39 PM
Kyle Baker said...: i have to learn to type faster. or worry about punctuation less. i didn't even finish "time for kemp to jack one out of here" before he grounded out.; 8/13/2010 6:40 PM
karina said...: @Rbnlaw that's the sweetest thing this week! do you like the White Sox?; 8/13/2010 6:41 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Whoa, Dittmore...the multiples have my head spinning.

This is a KC brew you speak of? I'll have to be on the lookout for it if it has any sort of wider distro.; 8/13/2010 6:41 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Are we making friendship bracelets now?; 8/13/2010 6:42 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Come on, Gibby!; 8/13/2010 6:43 PM
rbnlaw said...: @karina:
Might as well. My Blue team sucks right now. Plus, I like Ozzie.; 8/13/2010 6:43 PM
karina said...: why the delay?; 8/13/2010 6:44 PM
Kyle Baker said...: ^ I barely got that comment in before the out. Wooo...need to start commenting monosyllabically.; 8/13/2010 6:45 PM
rbnlaw said...: DB,
My daughters love making them. Mine is blue and white. The next one will be black/white for the Sox.

Go Soxos de Blanco.; 8/13/2010 6:45 PM
karina said...: Ozzie rocks!besides when he was playing in winter baseball, he was the franchise player of a great team.; 8/13/2010 6:45 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Karina

Belliard had to finish up the fudge brownie he was eating before stepping into the box.; 8/13/2010 6:45 PM
karina said...: "Go Soxos de Blanco", I like that very much!; 8/13/2010 6:46 PM
rbnlaw said...: Fizzle my nizzle.; 8/13/2010 6:46 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Heh...Soxos.; 8/13/2010 6:46 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Man...can we do a quick round of AC just to relieve the game monotony?; 8/13/2010 6:48 PM
karina said...: I don't get these professional players who can't keep their ideal weight.They have an army of people to help them if theyhave a slow metabolism or whatever.

Speaking of the White Sox, it infuriates me every time I see Andruw Jones. I'm sure I'm paying some karma...; 8/13/2010 6:50 PM
Josh S. said...: @Steve D.: I'm getting a nice buzz halfway through the first one and it's tasty too. Thumbs up!; 8/13/2010 6:52 PM
Steve Dittmore said...: @Dusty - You should be able to get Boulevard anywhere in AR. Doublewide IPA only comes in 22 oz. bottles.; 8/13/2010 6:53 PM
Steve Dittmore said...: @Josh S. - I'll look for it next time I'm on West Coast. This is geeky, but I keep a note of favorite IPAs in Evernote. This way I know what to look for when I travel.

Since LAD is playing in Atlanta, I recommend Sweetwater IPA or Sweetwater 420 Extra Pale Ale when visiting the Peach State.; 8/13/2010 7:00 PM
Josh S. said...: I AM PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UPTICK IN PODSEDNIK'S OBP.; 8/13/2010 7:01 PM
karina said...: lead off single! let's go Dodgers!; 8/13/2010 7:01 PM
karina said...: Dre,please?; 8/13/2010 7:07 PM
karina said...: Awesome,Pods caught stealing.; 8/13/2010 7:07 PM
MR.F said...: What just happened?; 8/13/2010 7:08 PM
Josh S. said...: 14 shutouts. Same number of dead in AC.; 8/13/2010 7:08 PM
Josh S. said...: I almost typed "shitouts," which is also appropriate.; 8/13/2010 7:09 PM
Josh S. said...: Step one of Operation: Phuck the Phillies is complete!; 8/13/2010 7:10 PM
karina said...: @Josh can you be responsible to increase EVERYONE'S OBP?

this morning I asked for something to believe,thanks Hiro.; 8/13/2010 7:12 PM
Josh S. said...: That's a Herculean task. As with Pods, I'll need someone to come in here and mindlessly bash all the players first.; 8/13/2010 7:13 PM
NicJ said...: our draft spot for next year just keeps getting better.

Too bad we will waste it anyways.; 8/13/2010 7:13 PM
NicJ said...: god damn padres, and giants.; 8/13/2010 7:38 PM
Steve Sax said...: PGT up (yawn!); 8/13/2010 8:18 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Professor

"Doublewide IPA only comes in 22 oz. bottles."

Why would anyone ever want to buy beer in smaller bottles?; 8/13/2010 9:11 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Also @ the Professor:

Keeping a note of one's favorite IPAs in Evernote is not geeky. Held in high regard!; 8/13/2010 9:13 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Note to self: Get Evernote.

If I had Evernote, I would be able to better keep up with notes to self.
