Game 122 Thread: August 19 vs. Rox, 7p

Ted Lilly (3-0, 1.89) vs. Jorge De La Rosa (4-3, 4.99).

COMMENTS: Well look who's back. Can't get enough of my lovin', eh? Even I'm starting to think you might be one sick puppy. But hey, I'm not here to judge. If excruciating humiliation is what floats your boat, I'm here to give you what you want. One agonizing defeat, coming right up. Open wide!

Kyle Baker said...

What's the safe word, again?

NicJ said...

so if kemp goes 0fer tonight with 2 K's i expect some apologies.

Josh S. said...

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

Josh S. said...

@NicJ: From Kemp?

NicJ said...

what are you talking about josh? manny is taking away AB's from all of our future HOFers down in high A!!!

Kyle Baker said...

I can see right away that we're going to pick up right where we left off in last night's GT.

NicJ said...

@ josh: kemp and kemp apologists.

Josh S. said...

Hi, I'm Chad, and I'm a Kempapologist.

Kyle Baker said...

I'm a pimpologist.

Kyle Baker said...

Early research indicates that pimpin' ain't easy.

NicJ said...

Chad needs to pay a visit to the Analrapist. Ive heard good things about Tobias Funke.

Josh S. said...

Representing a prostitute is challenging!

Kyle Baker said...

Speaking of research, how's your SoSG research project going, Josh? Any interesting data you have teased out so far?

NicJ said...

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.

Josh S. said...

I'm fairly certain this season has made us all lose our damn minds.

In a good way.

Kyle Baker said...

It's like the Mad Max-ization of Dodger blogs.

Next season: Beyond Thunderdome. Fred's Brim will play the Tina Turner part.

Josh S. said...

@Dusty (4:13)

See here.

NicJ said...

cole hamels sucking it up at the moment. Giants have 3 runs in the first.

NicJ said...

over the years the SOSG posts have gone from advanced statistics to Ike Davis.

Kyle Baker said...

I love stuff like this:

"Wouldn't you expect to see Elbert before Kershaw?

1/20/2007 4:09 PM"

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

RT @dylanohernandez: #Dodgers: Vicente Padilla to the DL. Bulging disk in neck.

NicJ said...

Padilla to DL, whatever.

Josh S. said...

And there it is, folks.

We are running out of forks to stick in this one, folks.

Josh S. said...

I thought something might be up in his last couple of starts, but I chalked it up to having off nights.

Kyle Baker said...

We could stick a fork in his bulging disk and try to dislodge it. #DustysHealthCareReformPlan

QuadSevens said...

"Double-folked" sounds like some kind of bedroom maneuver.

Josh S. said...

Carroll and Lilly are after Johnson.

I think I ordered that on PPV once.

Kyle Baker said...

You can't say shit that funny while I'm still at work, Josh.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

FOOTBALL!!! FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL!!! FOOOOOOOOOOTBAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!

It's more interesting than Padilla's bulging disk.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

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*

Nostradamus said...

@mlasf

Futbol, you say?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Except the two teams will likely combine for more points than goals scored during the entire World Cup.

NicJ said...

football does not exist in los angeles.

Green Lantern JBJ of Sector 1138 said...

nice icon MR LA

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

3 points? That's more in the first five minutes than I saw in 94 minutes of US-Algeria.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

DC nerds unite!

Kyle Baker said...

I see all good reason for Kemp to be there in the three hole.

Eric the Ice King said...

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.

Eric the Ice King said...

Wow- two superheroes! Gleen Lanter and Dead (Dodger Season) Man...

MR.F said...

TOOTBLAN sounds so wrong.

Eric the Ice King said...

That Reed Johnson TOOTBLAN last night was even more wrong. T_T

Eric the Ice King said...

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

MR.F said...

Wow there's an Eric and an Angry Eric here? And they both don't have avatars? What are the odds!!!

Kyle Baker said...

Dusty angry, too.

Eric the Ice King said...

Hmmm, weird- Angry Eric should have a Hulk avatar! RARRR! More Anger!

Kyle Baker said...

On the sofa, Vinny!

Eric the Ice King said...

Dusty's avatar looks like a sinister clown that stole off with Strawberry Shortcake's hat

karen said...

Epale Ladies and Gentlemen

BattleToad on the DL...Where will it end?

MR.F said...

Apparently it was announced in the press box that Padilla to the DL isn't happening today... whatever that entails

Kyle Baker said...

My avatar looks the evil spawn of The Joker and Strawberry Shortcake.

MR.F said...

What is ICP?

MR.F said...

Acronym finder tells me that it's most likely "Insane Clown Posse."

Kyle Baker said...

I'm brimming with confidence:

Carlos Monasterios will start for #Dodgers on Friday, Padilla placed on the DL and Schlichting recalled

Kyle Baker said...

Yes, Insane Clown Posse.

Goes back to last night's GT.

spank said...

BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Kyle Baker said...

YAAAAAH!!!!

Kyle Baker said...

Per MLB official Twitter feed:

"No. 1/8 Eddie Gaedel walked on 4 pitches OTD in 1951."

I love that bit. The midget Gaedel!

Eric the Ice King said...

Kemp needs to channel the Ghost of Gaedel, maybe he could get on-base and torture us on the basepaths. =D

Nostradamus said...

So it begins...

spank said...

Chente is pulling a Manny

spank said...

GAARP would have made that catch

Kyle Baker said...

Is there a Sabremetric for guys who make great catches despite the fact that most Dodger bloggers predicted the contrary to happen?

Kyle Baker said...

Dusty Baker: pride of his sofa.

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

"Is there a sabermetric..."

Erstad Grit Coefficient

spank said...

Came home ,Knocked out on the couch,now I feel all unnecessary

spank said...

Nice swing Podsy

Kyle Baker said...

Ahhh, that's right. Ersty's Law.

MR.F said...

The extra BP hasn't paid off yet...

NicJ said...

Mora will be in a TLC documentary series featuring his family called "Five Mora Us"

NicJ said...

lilly getting all types O' nasty.

NicJ said...

big lame james.

Josh S. said...

Is there a way for the starting pitchers to make the postseason, at least? They're at least trying to get there.

Josh S. said...

The Mora, The Merrya!

NicJ said...

Melvin and the Quints? no thats the name of the family band.

Kyle Baker said...

No Mora them puns!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I gotta have mora cowbell!

Kyle Baker said...

Johnson comes up big!

NicJ said...

johnson comes up big!

karen said...

Thata boy Reed!

Kyle Baker said...

This is a rich vein for ih8colletti.

spank said...

YaY?

MR.F said...

Wait what just happened?

Josh S. said...

REED JOHNSON HITS A HOME RUN IN THE MIDDLE OF ME TYPING ABOUT HIM BEING A LIGHT-HITTING WHITE GUY

NicJ said...

why was everyone saying "that was sick" in the dugout? some inside joke im guessing.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Johnson climaxes.





What?

Nostradamus said...

You guys have been saving that all year, haven't you?

spank said...

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Kyle Baker said...

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.

Kyle Baker said...

@Mr. C

Yes. Yes we have.

NicJ said...

I had somewhat high hopes after Johnson hit one out in a preseason game. Im such a sucker.

Kyle Baker said...

And there it is, per Mr F.

NicJ said...

Oh, i see what you did there.

NicJ said...

Laz Diaz gets his karma plunk for miscalling that check swing that eventually led to the rox winning run.

Nostradamus said...

I am both ashamed and impressed.

Kyle Baker said...

@Mr. C

But certainly not surprised, I'm sure.

Kyle Baker said...

Per Jimmy Bramlett:

"Johnson has homered off of Sabathia, Garza, Johan Santana, Halladay, Josh Johnson, Pedro Martinez (2004), Kerry Wood (2003)."

NicJ said...

de le rosa has almost thrown the ball away twice on the pick off throw.

MR.F said...

From Eric Stephen at TBLA: the reason for the mullet: charity (yes, two colons).

https://secure.mlb.com/col/community/winsforkids.jsp

Nostradamus said...

Apodaca.

NicJ said...

the double colon charity is always ignored.


THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!!!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That puts a new spin on "hair care."

Kyle Baker said...

No problem on the double colon from me. All clear.

NicJ said...

kemp finding new ways to hit into DP's

spank said...

Ain't that a bitch

Kyle Baker said...

Did I detect a smattering of boos on that play (presumably for Kemp, if my ears were correct)?

NicJ said...

they were booing torre for not putting kemp in the lineup yesterday.

Josh S. said...

Kemp just did that to remind everyone that Pods sucks. He wouldn't have gotten doubled up if he were any good.

Kyle Baker said...

Kemp teaching a lesson on getting doubled up. Uh-huh.

MR.F said...

...I was saying Boo-ison.

Eric the Ice King said...

...especially after that awkward Loney walkoff...

MR.F said...

Did everybody simultaneously go to the bathroom or something?

Kyle Baker said...

No, I needed a beer. I'm back.

Kyle Baker said...

I might need another beer by the time someone else comments!

Eric the Ice King said...

I need a beer after that DP...

MR.F said...

Lilly has been most excellent.

Kyle Baker said...

Vinny laughing at the midget Gaedel.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Has Hockey season started yet? I'm bored with this nonsense.

Kyle Baker said...

Are you not entertained, Neeebs?

karina said...

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

Kyle Baker said...

What kind of beer did you have, K?

MR.F said...

Epale karina! Are you an insomniac?

Neeebs (The Original) said...

I'm contemplated Guitar Hero. N'uff said?

Nostradamus said...

Insomniac Dodger fans unite!

rbnlaw said...

What up peeps?

Kyle Baker said...

Dyslexic Dodger fans untie!

Kyle Baker said...

Is it really last call from you at the AC tavern, RBN?

rbnlaw said...

STOOPID REED JOHN'S SON. HE NO HIT.
IF THEY LOSE, ALL HIS FAULT.

rbnlaw said...

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.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Ted Lilly is fifth in the NL in WHIP. I imagine this game will help him in that category.

Kyle Baker said...

Carlos Santana could never have made that catch that Casey just made.

Kyle Baker said...

Cause Santana's leg is all jacked up, and cause he is a catcher.

karina said...

@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

Kyle Baker said...

WHIP it good!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

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

karina said...

I think we could safely call the Dodgers "Becerros"

Kyle Baker said...

Does that mean calf?

Kyle Baker said...

ih8colletti brilliance:

"LOVE YOU SANTANA <3"

Paul said...

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.

Josh S. said...

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)

Paul said...

Ted is the man.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

A CATCHER DOES NOT PRODUCE AN OUT HALLELUJAH

Paul said...

Ryan Ryan Ryan.

Well your facial hair looks cool.

Paul said...

That was the best swing ever Ted! You looked very special.

Kyle Baker said...

Mr. C has a cricket bat at the ready.

Kyle Baker said...

Johnson is done for the night.

NicJ said...

whats that fool arguing about, it was a total strike.

Paul said...

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.

NicJ said...

did he not get thrown out?

MR.F said...

Around. Busy though....

karina said...

Yes,Dusty.

Hello son! mama is missing you!

@Paul hahahaha

Kyle Baker said...

If Manny throws a bat like that he's instantly thrown out.

Josh S. said...

SHUT IT, KAREN OLIVO!

NicJ said...

manny flips an elbow pad and gets thrown out.

Paul said...

He was tossed right?

Kyle Baker said...

@Paul

"the crappy kid who played the outfield and was distracted by anything."

e.g., me.

NicJ said...

theriot pulls a dewitt.

NicJ said...

giambis old man muscle arms freak me out.

Josh S. said...

Casey Blake's grin is worth 100 one-legged Carlos Santanas.

Kyle Baker said...

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.

NicJ said...

i dont get why dylan hernandez makes such a big deal about DS announcing paid attendance rather than gate attendance.

Every team does this.

Josh S. said...

Dylan picks some weird battles.

NicJ said...

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.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm just glad his kicking the Shpunt and Neal ElAttrache habits.

NicJ said...

Oh god, he still goes back to the VEnergy thing every once and a while.

Josh S. said...

That doesn't count, Matt.

NicJ said...

is the the first infield single of the year by kemp?

Paul said...

Kemp looked like he was running!

Paul said...

Well the last few steps at least.

Kyle Baker said...

That was a fielder's choice. The fielder chose to screw up the throw and allow Kemp to successfully reach.

karina said...

@Josh why doesn't it count? i'll take it!

Go Becerro!

NicJ said...

NVM, ruled an error.

Kyle Baker said...

Yeah, I like D. Hernandez, but good lord can he beat a dead horse.

We would never do that.

Paul said...

Where are all the Jim Tracy lovers?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

http://bit.ly/di3KBW

Nostradamus said...

You never know when you might need a cricket bat.

NicJ said...

Well SOSG has been known to belt a Barbaro or two.

Kyle Baker said...

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.

Kyle Baker said...

Lilly coming back in.

Will Stat-lickers love or hate? Sometimes I can't predict them.

karina said...

My eyes are closing but I can't fall asleep if the Dodgers are winning by two.

I have a sad life.

Paul said...

Ted. We are not worthy!

Josh S. said...

Stat-lickers are high on Lilly, but feel his solid performances don't matter at this point.

Kyle Baker said...

hang with us, karina! 3 more outs.

Kyle Baker said...

I think I got high on lilly a few times in college.

Paul said...

@Karina

No life is sad if you are healthy and enjoying it.

Josh S. said...

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?

NicJ said...

lead off walk.

Kyle Baker said...

PLEASE NOT BELLISARIO

Kyle Baker said...

DP!

Josh S. said...

That was rad.

Paul said...

Fuckin A.

High on Lilly!

Kyle Baker said...

Ready for 200, MLASF?

Nostradamus said...

@paul

Deep, brother.

NicJ said...

two strike clap!

Josh S. said...

I LOVE YOU LILLYPAD.

Nostradamus said...

Now we make…Party?

NicJ said...

WOOOOOOOOOOOO


(struts around room like ric flair)

karina said...

@Dusty that's what I'm doing

@Paul thanks for the reality check.

Paul said...

We make 4-0 party!!

Kyle Baker said...

*chews on turnbuckle like George Steele*
