What's the safe word, again?
so if kemp goes 0fer tonight with 2 K's i expect some apologies.
Per Dylan Hernandez:
"RT @66ersbaseball Manny Ramirez is on the lineup card, leading off in LF tonight!"
WHY STOOPID JEFF CARTER SO STOOPID MAKE LINEUP WITH MANNY LEAD OFF
WAIT IT MINOR LEAGUES SO IT GOOD
@NicJ: From Kemp?
what are you talking about josh? manny is taking away AB's from all of our future HOFers down in high A!!!
I can see right away that we're going to pick up right where we left off in last night's GT.
@ josh: kemp and kemp apologists.
Hi, I'm Chad, and I'm a Kempapologist.
I'm a pimpologist.
Early research indicates that pimpin' ain't easy.
Chad needs to pay a visit to the Analrapist. Ive heard good things about Tobias Funke.
Representing a prostitute is challenging!
Speaking of research, how's your SoSG research project going, Josh? Any interesting data you have teased out so far?
isnt it funny how the dodgers crappy season has turned the blogs into gang-like divisions.
Its like a internet baseball commentary version of The Warriors.
I'm fairly certain this season has made us all lose our damn minds.
In a good way.
It's like the Mad Max-ization of Dodger blogs.
Next season: Beyond Thunderdome. Fred's Brim will play the Tina Turner part.
@Dusty (4:13)
See here.
cole hamels sucking it up at the moment. Giants have 3 runs in the first.
over the years the SOSG posts have gone from advanced statistics to Ike Davis.
I love stuff like this:
"Wouldn't you expect to see Elbert before Kershaw?
1/20/2007 4:09 PM"
RT @dylanohernandez: #Dodgers: Vicente Padilla to the DL. Bulging disk in neck.
Padilla to DL, whatever.
And there it is, folks.
We are running out of forks to stick in this one, folks.
I thought something might be up in his last couple of starts, but I chalked it up to having off nights.
We could stick a fork in his bulging disk and try to dislodge it. #DustysHealthCareReformPlan
"Double-folked" sounds like some kind of bedroom maneuver.
Carroll and Lilly are after Johnson.
I think I ordered that on PPV once.
You can't say shit that funny while I'm still at work, Josh.
FOOTBALL!!! FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL!!! FOOOOOOOOOOTBAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!
It's more interesting than Padilla's bulging disk.
Don't worry. Everythings going to be OK. We just need to fill a hole in LF, 3B, 2B, and Catcher.
Calling Ned Coletti. Ned Coletti. Is this thing on? *tap,tap*
@mlasf
Futbol, you say?
Except the two teams will likely combine for more points than goals scored during the entire World Cup.
football does not exist in los angeles.
nice icon MR LA
3 points? That's more in the first five minutes than I saw in 94 minutes of US-Algeria.
DC nerds unite!
I see all good reason for Kemp to be there in the three hole.
Hmm, I wouldn't mind some manhandling by that bondage babe, but I'd probably end up getting mental cruelty like watching an endless loop of blown Dodgers saves, TOOTBLAN and outfield esKEMPades.
Wow- two superheroes! Gleen Lanter and Dead (Dodger Season) Man...
TOOTBLAN sounds so wrong.
That Reed Johnson TOOTBLAN last night was even more wrong. T_T
WTH? Battletoad down?!?
http://www.sportsfanlive.com/web/article?action=viewArticle&articleId=9032812
It's beginning to look like that last minute push by the Dodgers isn't happening...:(
Manny Ramirez
Rafael Furcal
J. Martin
Vincente Padilla
Wow there's an Eric and an Angry Eric here? And they both don't have avatars? What are the odds!!!
Dusty angry, too.
Hmmm, weird- Angry Eric should have a Hulk avatar! RARRR! More Anger!
On the sofa, Vinny!
Dusty's avatar looks like a sinister clown that stole off with Strawberry Shortcake's hat
Epale Ladies and Gentlemen
BattleToad on the DL...Where will it end?
Apparently it was announced in the press box that Padilla to the DL isn't happening today... whatever that entails
My avatar looks the evil spawn of The Joker and Strawberry Shortcake.
What is ICP?
Acronym finder tells me that it's most likely "Insane Clown Posse."
I'm brimming with confidence:
Carlos Monasterios will start for #Dodgers on Friday, Padilla placed on the DL and Schlichting recalled
Yes, Insane Clown Posse.
Goes back to last night's GT.
BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
YAAAAAH!!!!
Per MLB official Twitter feed:
"No. 1/8 Eddie Gaedel walked on 4 pitches OTD in 1951."
I love that bit. The midget Gaedel!
Kemp needs to channel the Ghost of Gaedel, maybe he could get on-base and torture us on the basepaths. =D
So it begins...
Chente is pulling a Manny
GAARP would have made that catch
Is there a Sabremetric for guys who make great catches despite the fact that most Dodger bloggers predicted the contrary to happen?
Dusty Baker: pride of his sofa.
@dusty
"Is there a sabermetric..."
Erstad Grit Coefficient
Came home ,Knocked out on the couch,now I feel all unnecessary
Nice swing Podsy
Ahhh, that's right. Ersty's Law.
The extra BP hasn't paid off yet...
Mora will be in a TLC documentary series featuring his family called "Five Mora Us"
lilly getting all types O' nasty.
big lame james.
Is there a way for the starting pitchers to make the postseason, at least? They're at least trying to get there.
The Mora, The Merrya!
Melvin and the Quints? no thats the name of the family band.
No Mora them puns!
I gotta have mora cowbell!
Johnson comes up big!
johnson comes up big!
Thata boy Reed!
This is a rich vein for ih8colletti.
YaY?
Wait what just happened?
REED JOHNSON HITS A HOME RUN IN THE MIDDLE OF ME TYPING ABOUT HIM BEING A LIGHT-HITTING WHITE GUY
why was everyone saying "that was sick" in the dugout? some inside joke im guessing.
Johnson climaxes.
What?
You guys have been saving that all year, haven't you?
BOOOOOOOOOOO!!
The lowest amount of HRs that Johnson has hit is four (last year). This was his first HR this year in game number 122. I think your LHWG assessment is still accurate, Josh.
@Mr. C
Yes. Yes we have.
I had somewhat high hopes after Johnson hit one out in a preseason game. Im such a sucker.
And there it is, per Mr F.
Oh, i see what you did there.
Laz Diaz gets his karma plunk for miscalling that check swing that eventually led to the rox winning run.
I am both ashamed and impressed.
@Mr. C
But certainly not surprised, I'm sure.
Per Jimmy Bramlett:
"Johnson has homered off of Sabathia, Garza, Johan Santana, Halladay, Josh Johnson, Pedro Martinez (2004), Kerry Wood (2003)."
de le rosa has almost thrown the ball away twice on the pick off throw.
From Eric Stephen at TBLA: the reason for the mullet: charity (yes, two colons).
https://secure.mlb.com/col/community/winsforkids.jsp
Apodaca.
the double colon charity is always ignored.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!!!!
That puts a new spin on "hair care."
No problem on the double colon from me. All clear.
kemp finding new ways to hit into DP's
Ain't that a bitch
Did I detect a smattering of boos on that play (presumably for Kemp, if my ears were correct)?
they were booing torre for not putting kemp in the lineup yesterday.
Kemp just did that to remind everyone that Pods sucks. He wouldn't have gotten doubled up if he were any good.
Kemp teaching a lesson on getting doubled up. Uh-huh.
...I was saying Boo-ison.
...especially after that awkward Loney walkoff...
Did everybody simultaneously go to the bathroom or something?
No, I needed a beer. I'm back.
I might need another beer by the time someone else comments!
I need a beer after that DP...
Lilly has been most excellent.
Vinny laughing at the midget Gaedel.
Has Hockey season started yet? I'm bored with this nonsense.
Are you not entertained, Neeebs?
Epale everyone! sorry for the tardiness!
I was at,hmmm,socializing with colleagues.I had THREE beers and some Burger King fries.I'm a party animal!
I also couldn't sleep last night,fell asleep at 7 am,woke up at 9:30 am, so I'm not sure I can't stay up long.
p.s headache building on
What kind of beer did you have, K?
Epale karina! Are you an insomniac?
I'm contemplated Guitar Hero. N'uff said?
Insomniac Dodger fans unite!
What up peeps?
Dyslexic Dodger fans untie!
Is it really last call from you at the AC tavern, RBN?
STOOPID REED JOHN'S SON. HE NO HIT.
IF THEY LOSE, ALL HIS FAULT.
DB,
Hell, I felt so good after winning, I left the tab open.
No beer served after the 7th, so get ye to the bar.
Ted Lilly is fifth in the NL in WHIP. I imagine this game will help him in that category.
Carlos Santana could never have made that catch that Casey just made.
Cause Santana's leg is all jacked up, and cause he is a catcher.
@Dusty Regional Draft, some say that's drinking water but I don't know much about beer.
@Mr F sort of, it comes and goes, however, I had work done last night.
@Mr C exactly
WHIP it good!
NO DUSTY YOU STOOPID TRADE FOR BLAKE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SIGNING HIM LONGTERM YOU IGNORANT FUCKTARD JUST END YOURSELF HAR HAR HAR XFIP
I think we could safely call the Dodgers "Becerros"
Does that mean calf?
ih8colletti brilliance:
"LOVE YOU SANTANA <3"
Epale blue brothas and sistas!
Are we still in a blog war? I have my Billy Ashley signed Bat. It needs to be used for something.
@Karina
three beers and burge king fries! Mmmmm breakfast.
Anyone else catch that quick shot of Russell during GBA? He looked like a wax figure of himself.
It wasn't though, because a wax figure would have a higher OBP.
(HAR HAR HAR XFIP)
Ted is the man.
A CATCHER DOES NOT PRODUCE AN OUT HALLELUJAH
Ryan Ryan Ryan.
Well your facial hair looks cool.
That was the best swing ever Ted! You looked very special.
Mr. C has a cricket bat at the ready.
Johnson is done for the night.
whats that fool arguing about, it was a total strike.
Where is everyone? This stuff is um
mmm great tv.
Kemp looks like the crappy kid who played the outfield and was distracted by anything.
did he not get thrown out?
Around. Busy though....
Yes,Dusty.
Hello son! mama is missing you!
@Paul hahahaha
If Manny throws a bat like that he's instantly thrown out.
SHUT IT, KAREN OLIVO!
manny flips an elbow pad and gets thrown out.
He was tossed right?
@Paul
"the crappy kid who played the outfield and was distracted by anything."
e.g., me.
theriot pulls a dewitt.
giambis old man muscle arms freak me out.
Casey Blake's grin is worth 100 one-legged Carlos Santanas.
Hard to blame Theriot too much. Ball was hit fairly sharply, he kept ball in front of him, and got the lead runner. I'll take it.
i dont get why dylan hernandez makes such a big deal about DS announcing paid attendance rather than gate attendance.
Every team does this.
Dylan picks some weird battles.
yeah i wasnt blaming him. I didnt like the trade originally when it went down but i must admit that it is nice to have a second basemen that isnt actually a third basemen.
I'm just glad his kicking the Shpunt and Neal ElAttrache habits.
Oh god, he still goes back to the VEnergy thing every once and a while.
That doesn't count, Matt.
is the the first infield single of the year by kemp?
Kemp looked like he was running!
Well the last few steps at least.
That was a fielder's choice. The fielder chose to screw up the throw and allow Kemp to successfully reach.
@Josh why doesn't it count? i'll take it!
Go Becerro!
NVM, ruled an error.
Yeah, I like D. Hernandez, but good lord can he beat a dead horse.
We would never do that.
Where are all the Jim Tracy lovers?
http://bit.ly/di3KBW
You never know when you might need a cricket bat.
Well SOSG has been known to belt a Barbaro or two.
I totally pulled a Steiner on that one. I thought Loney's fly was going to be long enough. It's been a long day.
Lilly coming back in.
Will Stat-lickers love or hate? Sometimes I can't predict them.
My eyes are closing but I can't fall asleep if the Dodgers are winning by two.
I have a sad life.
Ted. We are not worthy!
Stat-lickers are high on Lilly, but feel his solid performances don't matter at this point.
hang with us, karina! 3 more outs.
I think I got high on lilly a few times in college.
@Karina
No life is sad if you are healthy and enjoying it.
Oh, hey, did I mention that I checked earlier today and, as of this morning, Juan Pierre is outslugging Matt Kemp (by a few points) since the All-Star break?
lead off walk.
PLEASE NOT BELLISARIO
DP!
That was rad.
Fuckin A.
High on Lilly!
Ready for 200, MLASF?
@paul
Deep, brother.
two strike clap!
I LOVE YOU LILLYPAD.
Now we make…Party?
WOOOOOOOOOOOO
(struts around room like ric flair)
@Dusty that's what I'm doing
@Paul thanks for the reality check.
We make 4-0 party!!
*chews on turnbuckle like George Steele*
