The return of AUSMUSTERIOS!
From a geometry standpoint, I like this lineup.
I think our chances are the same as successfully nagivating an asteroid field.
You mean approximately three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one?
Always tell me the evens!
Direct PGT to GT transition!
For the record, a better curved lineup would be:
Podsednik
Theriot
Ethier
Loney
Kemp
Blake
Ausmus
Carroll
Belisario
(Beli would get the start since he's the only pitcher with a nine-letter last name.)
Hmmm...Carroll's Ls screw everything up.
I wonder if the bar at DCA will show the game.
Kemp's M not helping, either.
@Josh how about some scrambling?
Podsednik
Theriot
Loney
Ethier
Blake
Kemp
Carroll
Ausmus
Belisario
or this:
Podsednik
Ausmus
Loney
Ethier
Blake
Kemp
Carroll
Theriot
Belisario
I'm more worried about Kemp's K, Mr. C.
HEY-O!
I would say that this thread is evidence that we are extremely nerdy, but...
...every thread is evidence that we are extremely nerdy.
@Josh I just heard on my mind the Seinfeld bass line
God dammit. I wondered where people were. I figured we weren't going to get a GT and could just go PGT>pre-GT>GT all in one space.
Paul: I'm your daddy
Get ready for a shitstorm of epic proportions on Twitter.
RT @benmaller: Joe Torre on crowded outfield plans: "Scott Podsednik will play some centerfield. Manny won't play everyday." #Dodgers #MLB
Of course.
RT: @mlbtraderumors
Giants Intersted In Hawpe http://bit.ly/9dTbUe #mlb
This may be the most concave lineup we've fielded all year.
Podsednik
Belisario
Ausmus
Theriot
Carroll
Loney
Ethier
Blake
Kemp
I've been trying to anagram the lineup to something inappropriate, but we have to many players with names that start with "B"
Oh, and this:
FUCK THE FUCKING GIANTS, THOSE BUNCH OF FUCKS.
back to the pool.
Sorry for missing posts today, guys. That was my fault!
@Mr LASF now we got our power hitter from the bench :)
7777-
Which bar at DCA?
@Steve Sax it's ok, we don't need new posts to congregate
@Sax
No worries! We're resourceful.
Mr C said "I've been trying to anagram the lineup to something inappropriate...."
I've been working on something for months, but there are too few vowels to work with, unless anyone knows any Serbic profanity.
Thank god we do't have Kent Hrbek on our squad.
^I meant to say I was working on word play not necessarily anagrams, e.g., lining up first or last names to make curse words.
These things are important to me.
Podsednik as a Dodger:
.302/.368/.360/.729 (16 Ks, .371 BAbip)
Kemp, same time frame:
.194/.257/.299/.555 (20 Ks, .239 BAbip)
See, I can lick a stat or two also.

Yeah, same here in the states.
KINDESDOP SKCUS!
I was just going over some old GT notes. I'd like to go ahead and answer my own question posed in a limerick:
There once was a team in L.A.,
That went 22-8 in May.
Before that, April stank.
In July, the team sank.
Will August just cause more dismay?
Yes.
Llorrac is a great super-villain name.
Pmek is so out of place.
It's not really all that fun to make nosnhoj jokes.
@Mr LA SF 4:50p: looks like initials anagram to KRYPTLESS, no?
That explains all the zombies walking around here. (And on the field, too.)
"I'm the Llorrac! I speak for the trees!"
Ah...
It's a shame, because Zerimar is pretty fantastic, too.
Today's real lineup anagrams to tackle bmp
I want Snobbig to get more at bats. Same for Ortsac and Drailleb.
@Sax
Can't we put Breezy in the outfield for one play just to get Tackle MSB?
good thing yelsgnillib already pitched in this rotation and that zciweiktneim is long gone.
STOOPID ERROT
@dusty
"nosnhoj"
There's a Shane Victorino joke in there somewhere.
Ouk is our closer for now, but it soon might be Notxorb or Letod. And we should hope to not see Llirrehs enter the game.
Headline is just wrong:
"USC Trojans women's soccer team ready to get back on top. http://es.pn/buT1AY"
I'm just casually checking in.
And that link doesn't help matters either.
.cixelsyd em edam sah daerht siht gnidaeR
"USC soccer ready to rise again"
Oh lord. Did we write these ledes?
USC SUCKS!!
It's all about Cal Poly Pomona FOOLS!
Left Field wall at DS - 1
Jason Bay - zip
Bay done for season (concussion). That's what he gets for catching that fucking ball.
I thought CarGo caught the ball? Is he still alive? And what's with the questions?
I was taking Yenol for my knee pain.
Heading to 7-11 for beer and ice. Who needs a Slurpee?
Time for some Chinese........Food.
Don't call out the Kat,Dusty. She's bad news.
@RBN
THey make beer slurpees? Cool!
Commute>beer store>sofa
Check y'all at GT.
@Mr. C: I worry about running a lineup of supervillains out there since we're facing Batman tonight.
@Josh said "I would say that this thread is evidence that we are extremely nerdy, but...
...every thread is evidence that we are extremely nerdy"
I read something along with the lines "Facebook is for the people you went to school with,Tumblr is for the people you wished they were your classmates in school and Twitter is the people who would have made you to fail every course"
What would be this place,then?in the very highly hypothetical scenario we all had the same age and lived nearby each other?
@josh
There is a certain Arkham Assylum thing going on. If we are foiled by Batman, at least it screws the cardinals.
I know I'd like Mr C to be my sidekick and to be my partner in every group assignment,even if I had to drag him from Dusty and Josh.Those three I would have kicked a lot under the table.
I'd have made some of the Mr LASF's homework so he talked me about baseball (fact,I spent a whole lot of my teenage years "helping"jocks)
I would have convinced Paul and Mr F to forge our IDs so we could watch bands around.
I'd have begged Eric Karros to explain me math and physics (I suspect Sax would be good in that,too)
Orel would be the one whom I asked for advice.
I could do this on and on...
Karina, I advise you to keep being the sweetheart you are.
@Dusty: when did Jason Bay hit the DS wall? I don't recall this...
@Karina: Orel, EK, and I have been fighting over you for years now. Our question is, which one gets to take you to the prom?
So its 90's night at Dodger Stadium.Huh?
Yeah that really a decade i want to relive as a dodger fan. All those ROY and no playoff wins.
aunt becky is still pretty hot.
Lost a comment in the conflicting edit continuum
More Later
was cueto actually wearing spikes? i know a lot of pitchers wear molded cleats rather than the spikes.
In other news,
I want to relive the horrible trades the dodgers made in the 90's so my surliness can reach EPIC proportions.
@Orel I'll take that advice
@Steve Sax dunno,hmmmm. Who's the best dancer?who wants to dance all night long?
@NicJ we had RAUUUUUUUUUL those days
@Spanky isn't it enough with the 2010 Dodgers?
@Karina
I thought you broke up w Sax after Middle School?
Plus, I'm guessing that neither is that much into dancing all night long.
"Those three I would have kicked a lot under the table."
That's a great line.
@Sax re: JBay

Commute achieved.
On the sofa, Vinny!
@Karina:
You want me to interview them and give them the third degree.
@Neeebs:
WTF are you doing still sitting at the office at 7:00pm on a Friday night. Go home already.
@self: Yes sir.
Oh hey, ballgame.
Anyone have ATT Uverse? If so, MLB Network on it yet?
BOOOOOOOOOO!
if monasterios is the future of the organization we might be fucked.
I don't even think Monster Cheerios is the current of this organization.
I saw Ely's recent stats earlier this evening. Wow! That's a shitty ERA.
Didn't even leave a footprint in the past
He's just kinda soggy cereal these days.
Hi Everyone!!
Over 90 comments at game time, you all have been busy!
Brewers up 8-6 late.
Jints are winning, though.
@Karen
"Busy" might not be the best word to describe us this afternoon. Maybe prolific or verbose.
dont see monny blow guys away too often.
oh come on blue.
INSIDE CORNER!!!
Oh Boy!
MONASTERIOS IS THE FUTURE OF THE NEXT 5 INNINGS!
Mono K's his way out of trouble!!
DEFEAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION THE 4 INNINGS AFTER THAT
Come on Dre.
aint that a bitch.
Atleast he hit it hard
HOLY SHIT THEY MADE AN ASSASSIN'S CIRCLE VIDEO GAME
pirates just clinched their 18 straight losing season.
so at least we arent at that point, yet.
That is quite a streak there nic. I think only the clippers have been as horrible. Maybe the Lions Too.
what the hell? 4 K's but monny is going to be gassed by the 4th inning.
My arm is tired just watching him.
I'm going to have to switch to my non-beer arm.
Ugh. Homer bugs me. He never got a proper comeuppance for fucking up Manny's hand.
ah yes, the hand. i had forgotten.
fuck it, lets just start a brawl.
Let the fuckin pitcher get a fuckin hit and that's what fuckin happens.
Fight, fight, fight, fight!
looks like the ol winning streak might end tonight. Gonna see a ton of dodger bullpen.
^ I mean that in a brawl sense, not a rally sense.
why the hell does Jordan have a hitler stache on that hanes commercial?
So whose hand do we fuck up for payback? Ruin our 09 we will ruin your 10 cause we are ruined!!
If anyone can bring that back for white guys to try Jordan can.
i wouldnt mind slamming Votto's hand in a car door.
Why is Matt Kemp just now getting around to doing the extra pre-game work? He should have been out there in May.
If want the Dodgers to be like zombies. Already dead but causing havoc for the living.
Of course zombies are slow and stupid but fun to watch.
to be fair, i have heard Kemp usually always does early work at the stadium. Kemp is sucking this year, but i feel bad piling on.
I bet Bills loves it though.
@karen a professional baseball player shouldn't stop "pre-game" work from february-october,unless he's injured
@Dusty Baker nah,he would have broken MY heart
@Neeebs what does it mean "third degree"?don't scare them, could you think of better dates for prom?
Playing with my father's iPad. Good times!
"Slow and stupid, but fun to watch."
This is MY town!
Ausmus singles!
Vin talking about Ausmus' future as a manager.
Didn't we win the game he "managed" last year?
That's Sax. He's a heart breaker and a home wrecker. Still can't picture him dancing the night away, though.
nice last chance bunt monny!!
That was a nice bunt actually
@Karina
Here's news on your Sax rebound relationship:
Carlos Gonzales took BP. Feels better but won't likely play until Sunday if at all this wkend. Xray expected. No DL #rockies
@sax
Ain't it great?
I have iPad envy.
Bastard Podsednik!!!
Go back to the dugout and think about what you did while i sit on my couch and think of your beautiful wife.
dodgertalk callers rejoice!!!
SQUUUEEEEEZZZZZZZEEEEEE
That could have been AWFUL.
Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
Oh Snap!
I'll take this!
I <3 squezees
Oh shit, I forgot I was a few minutes behind on the DVR due to walking Frankie. It sounds vaguely good based on what you guys just typed.
KKemped by 'Dre
Stat-licking Twitterers are lying low tonight.
Wait, maybe that's because I mostly unfollowed. #smallsamplesize
@Dusty Baker what rebound?I'm still crying over him ;)
What's the fuss about Pods wife?it keeps popping up everywhere
@Karina
Exactly. Perfect time for a rebound just to get you out of the house and off the Regional Drafts.
http://bit.ly/b0qJcO
there you go karina. she has some clothes on in that one.
nice one monny.

CARLOS MONASTERIOS IS THE FUTURE OF THE ALBUQUERQUE ISOTOPES!!!!!
Skinny ole skank
brandon phillips hits near .500 in DS. So he is due for an out.
Stick dat ass back in, Phiilips. It wasn't that inside.
i dont think we are going to be able to break out four more squeeze plays to take the lead.
or three rather, either way.
It looks like Jayson Werth raped a gazelle:

Belated: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Surly factor: 3 and rising
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! noted, Spank.
Like you said earlier, casual means stalking women (online counts) and drinking beer.
Son of a bunch of things I shouldn't type.
@NicJ googled her,girl speaks Japanese.She makes me like an underachiever.Are you sure she's for real?
In the other hand,Dusty gives hope to the plain Janes
Unfortunately I have to settle for only stalking today but drinkings on my mind for tomorrow.
@Dusty re: Jayson Werth and gazelle
You crack me up
Glad I could be of service, Karen!
King James,I'm always praising you glove,what was that about?
Only King James' 3rd error of the year? Wow. I'm not surprised he's had a great defensive year, but wow. Still my MVP pick for the season.
Torre is so old he wears a jacket in the middle of summer,just like my pops.
And he has Old Man Hat going, too.
@Dusty Baker that's why I got surprised,because I think it's the second or third time that I watch King James get an error.
BOOOOOOOOLISARIO!
Is there a nerd-stat for Almost Always Makes a Great Defensive Play at First But Every Once in Awhile Drops One?
Back to back Bravos de Margarita pitchers on the mound for the Dodgers.
I think you just created one if you combine the first letters. Let's ask Moriyama
Bravo for margaritas!
Can we squeeze with no one on third to try to get a run?
The Carlos Santana I know and love is playing the shit out of the song Europa right now in my headphones
@Spank
1) Forgot to give you props on the avatar. How often does anyone pour Steel Reserve into a glass?
2) Just clicked onto your blog and read the most recent post. Cracked me up. Surly factor 5+ at time of posting, eh?
Good time for Dusty Baker's Toothpick to make a comment.
@Dusty forgot to tell you lame beer is not enough to forget Sax
Dude I was Fucked up and pissed because some lame fools hit a friend of mine up to see if i wanted to join their band. I called them up and everything was cool. Set a day up to jam. Called back to confirm. Got the slip. My Reputation for being a no shit taker proceeds me.
Damn, I keep nodding off, and the score get worse.
manny should be up to the big boy club soon.
0-2 with a strikeout tonight. So he is already better than half the guys on the team.
Three good beers, though, and Sax is a distant memory.
Thanks for the background. Get 'em Spank!
KJ74 threw strikes! Always a good thing.
You on diaper duty tonight, Josh?
(pun intended)
Man, I have irrational hate for Homer Bailey.
Maybe it's the broke-ass Christian Bale looks combined with the comic strip name.
Does Ethier or Kemp look worse at the plate these days? (Ladies: I mean their At Bats)
Homer Bailey has two cartoon names.
As a matter of fact, yes, DB. I think he was shooting for some sort of volume record tonight.
@Josh
I think I'm detecting it from all the way over here in Pasadena.
I'd say Ethier looks worse at the plate, but gains points for looking upset when he fails.
SPECULATION!!!
ever since Dre got hurt he was never the same.
Andre Ethier's pinky is the most hated sports figure in LA for 2010.
It feels like (and I've been on B-R enough this week, so I don't feel like checking) we don't take leads back anymore. Either we get a lead early and barely hold on or break a scoreless tie late.
Or we just lose.
Crap Jansen you ruined my 2011 closer post with that walk.
Paul, what's the bkgd on your avatar?
Maybe it is mental with dre. Doesn't look like he is uncomfortable when he swings. Just looks like he sucks.
