Clayton Kershaw (10-7, 3.17) vs. Jhoulys Chacin (5-8, 4.04).

COMMENTS: Kershaw's pitching tonight, which means he'll probably throw eight innings of no-hit ball and the Dodgers will lose it in the ninth. Par for the course for this sad-sack 2010 squad — yet the Rockies, for many the fashionable pre-season choice to win the NL West, are only two games better. In other words, the battle for a distant third place rages on. And it's only August! Can we get to the off-season hot stove yet?
Update from Sax: AC and I will be at the game tonight, loge level. Comment in the GT if you want to grab a beer and compare Matt Kemp bobbleheads!

Damn you people with your tickets but most especially, damn you for those matt kemp bobbleheads!
Did you get my coordinates from the other thread, Sax?
I owe you a beer for killing you. And AC owes us both beers for being a pansy and not even playing.
I will be at the game! Bobblehead!
Is that you, Dr(.) Geek? We've missed you in this year's Assassin's Circle!
Field box, front row next to the right foul pole, should anyone here fear my Assassin's Circle killing prowess.
@ Dusty: Couldn't participate with my trickery this year since I'm in LA on vacation, visiting the family.
Mrs. Dusty and MDIL and I will be sniping from Section 47RS, Row H, Seats 10 - 12.
Section 48FD, Row A, Seats 8 and 9
I'll be at the game today too. But I'll be incognito as the girlfriend and I practice our assassin skills while chowing down on grilled dogs.
7777-
Every good assassin needs his/her sustenance, and Dodger Dogs are as good a place to start as any.
So, if one of you comes across an extra bobblehead, can you stash it in a secret place at the Ravine for me to pick up when I'm there tomorrow?
I'll see what I can do, Josh.
I finally put my Collins Curse data online. (Though, it hardly matters anymore, as it's clear that there's no curse and the team is just awful.)
I put in Charley Steiner's record from '08 for comparison's sake. Collins' record in '09 was actually an improvement over Steiner's. The only thing I can say with certainty is that the Dodgers are guaranteed to lose at least one game in each series Collins calls.
It's freaking me out. Pretend like I am Karina tonight:
Epale, everyone! Lineup:
Podsednik
Theriot
Ethier
Loney
Blake
Kemp
Carroll
Ellis
Kershaw
This whole Blake before Kemp thing is driving me insane.
Epale Dustrina! You also have to be more optimistic than usual during this entire game thread.
We're going to beat the Yankees in four games to win the World Series!
"Compare Matt Kemp bobbleheads"
I thought that photo was fake!
I will wait for small sample size to comment on Josh's work before I make my conclusion.
Damn, that was the quickest "that's good/that's bad" progression ever. A coworker offers me tickets for tonight, and within 30 seconds I find out that I've been volunteered to go to a meeting tomorrow morning, and it requires a print job big enough to fill a Volkswagen. So I get to babysit a printer, I guess.
@ Mr C
That's bad.
@dusty
I found an orphan beer in the office fridge (dibs)
That's good!
The beer Mr C found is a warm Bud Light w lime.
That's bad!
Vin said the Dodgers are mathematically alive, but "you have to hold a mirror up to the mouth to check for breath."
DIE DIE DIE
Epale Everyone!
Sorry,I forgot I had to post the lineup!in my defense, I have a pavlovian reflex with dancing.
I'll post the lineup tomorrow,I just wrote it down on my planner
Epale everyone!
p.s if they lose, it's all my fault
But the Jints lost - that's good!
From Maracaibo,Venezuela, Jhoulys Chacin
Have no mercy, Dodgers

Don't feel bad Karina, I'm watching computer animation on gameday

Bon soir.
Just released from ink-stained hell.
Fun may now commence.
If you're looking for fun, you've come to the wrong place. Nothing but surliness.
Mr.C back from the hot Kinko action
Ih8colletti is on fire.
We should not be facing a Jhoulys so soon after seeing Jurrjens
Forgot about MLASF's split personality
So our catchers can't hit. Our third baseman can't hit. Our center fielder can't hit and everyone else can hit singles.
Walter Altson would for sure us Punch and Judy. Maybe just Judy.
@MLASF
Surliness passes for fun most nights around here.
In other news, Dodger offense. W.T.F.?
I missed "call" in that last post.
Nooooo not John tesh and amway global!!!!
Where you getting that feed from Paul
Internet?
Alien Nation walks
HOORAY FOR STOOPID TOOLO
@Spank
direct tv extra innings.
Holy crap the Dodgers are 0 for last 26 with RISP?!?
How is that possible??
How have they had that many opportunites since the joke job in philly?
SCOTTY PODS SNAPS THE DROUGHT!!!
HOORAY!!!!
RISP jinx!
1 for 1 now. Today is a gift that is why they call it the present. Now I must go drink it away.
OHHH! we scored. I am more amazed Ellis got a hit
PODS POWER!
Apodaca.
LONEY DOUBLE
I feel pretty
BLAKE'D!!!
THATS RIGHT BITCHES WE ARE COMING FOR THIRD PLACE!!!
More fucking runs. It's a Geyser
Except Kemp.
KKempbeingKKemp
What's with all the sparkling defense?
TBLA and Chud Moriyama hatin on Pods on the Twatter.
MLASF pwns them all with the monkey-speak.
Or is it cavemanese?
The Rockies announcers are talking about how they can still make a run and figuring out how many wins it will take
I laughed at first but then thought they have done crazy shit like that before.
Still if you are gonna lose to the Dodgers then youbarr screwed.
Rockies have a commercial where all the team wear "Jim Tracy is my homeboy" shirts.
Im pretty sure its in the 2010 rulebook that if you lose to the dodgers you are eliminated from playoff contention.
GET A NEW TEXT QUESTION KCAL
Dodgers bullpen is so horrific Torre is thinking outside the box and letting the kid pitch the 7th
Kuo and Brox up. LAFD notified.
RT @Ih8Colletti: KEMP JUST WAIT FOR RIGHT TIME TO EXPLODE HE REAL BEAST LIKE THAT
That's a slice of fried gold right there.
Who da GBA dude?
mmmmmm, fried gold.
Mmmmmmmm... real beast.
Wait, when did the monkey in the Dodge commercial turn invisible?
@Josh - Dodge got hounded by PETA for using a monkey in the ad (it has nothing to do with what the monkey does, it's mere presence disturbed them). So Dodge decided to stick it to them by making the monkey invisible.
Is five runs enough?
Place yer bets!
haha, jasen with his "WTF?" look.
Here we go.
Said in a depressed way.
The Invisible Monkey is my new hero.
Joe is feeding the trolls. At least know if you're going to take the ball when you go out there.
@MLASF Thanks! I wasn't sure there was an actual answer.
*holding breath*
*turning blue*
What would you say our chances of winning this game are? 50-50?
How long is the list of crazy shit we have seen this season?
Can we put Andre back at first?
Sherrill and Helton should have a goatee-off.
*sneaks a breath*
here we go, sherrill cant get righties out.
hmmm. well played dodgers, well played.
Nothing speaks to the MLB fanbase more than yogurt ads. Nice work, Gameday execs!
Apodaca apodaca apodaca
Apodaca.
Apodaca!
Rancho What Would Russell Martin Do
Oh thank goodness Belliard's in to cash some runs. Surely he will come through in the pinch.
TO THE FLORES OF TIME
They just called that sixth run an Insurance Run on DiamondVision.
What do they know???
I lost the Apodaca shootout.
The guy who pushes the Iron Man button must not have watched the Philly game.
Brox throwing 89. I'm going to tell myself he's developed a changeup.
We have constructed something that is similar to a happy community event!
Pods looks awkward as hell doing the victory leap.
Wait, we didn't lose? Should we do a re-count to make sure?
Rancho Felt god damn good to be in the Yardiendo! Doyers win! Think Blue!
At a bar in Burbank drinking Blue Moon and just finished watching the game. Who knew victory tastes this good.
Well Hell on Earth! We Won!
patience bear for new official mascot!
Go Bear!
For the record, the Dusty who called into DodgerTalk tonight was NOT me. I was driving on the 110 at that moment. Mrs Dusty immediately said I had to get home and get on this blog and explain that it wasn't me.
What did you say on the radio Dusty? I mean what did he say?
I'm trying to remember...it wasn't that he said anything dumb. I think he talked about how fast Brox was registering on the gun these days and that it was a bit lower than it had been in the past. Fair point but Levine pointed out that he didn't need to throw 100 and instead just throw strikes.
Good to see you tonight, Sax. Sorry I wasn't in my seats when you first dropped by. The boss just back into town and we neeeded to catch up on some stuff so we had stepped upstairs to meet over a brew. Mrs Dusty was glad to meet you!
Brox's fastball at 100mph made up for his lack of control on the slider. Now they can hit the fastball or foul it off and don't respect the slider.
So it is control but his "old" fastball made up for that sometimes. Unless of course it was a fastball hitter ala stairs.
So he needs that under control or get a good change up.
PGT up!
