We are gonna waste Ausmus first two hit game since 1924.

Kyle Baker said...

that chick nailed GBA tonight.

Paul said...

Can we mix it up and play Living in America during the 7th?

Kyle Baker said...

HIT THIS FUCKER IN THE HAND, CASEY!

rbnlaw said...

Just ate my weight in machaca and drank my fill of beer.
Time for more beer and a cigar.

Is there a game on to watch?

NicJ said...

It seems that all Roger Clemens has been doing since yesterday has been replying to supportive tweets.

Shouldnt he be packing his stuff and booking a flight to sweden?

Kyle Baker said...

MDIL: [Homer Bailey] looks like a serial killer to me.

Dusty: He's killed Monster Cheerios tonight.

MDIL: SERIAL! Not cereal!

Dusty: Yeah, he really does. He just needs a middle name.

Kyle Baker said...

I just got my humidor out, RBN. Deciding what to smoke right now. What are you having?

Paul said...

Dusty tribute to Padilla's soap bubble. I think it is Japanese art. I can't even remember.

Season has been a bad trip man.

NicJ said...

aumus two hits tonight, now with a RISP guess whats coming.

Paul said...

Bailey does look American Psychoish.

karina said...

Today I cancelled two different invitations because I wanted to see the Dodgers on TV.I shouldn't do that for the rest of the season.

:(

NicJ said...

Ive seen roadrunner cartoons less predictable then that.

spank said...

AUSMOSS MAD

Kyle Baker said...

Drink some orange juice, Paul, and put on some Allman Bros.

Kyle Baker said...

In all neutrality, folks, that pitch (a ball) has been called a strike all night by that ump. I've seen him call it a strike to both teams. At least he's consistent. But I definitely noticed it from early on.

NicJ said...

Agreed DB. Plus shitty teams dont get calls. Unless they are playing the dodgers.

Josh S. said...

WE ARE DONE PROFESSIONALLY!

Paul said...

I have some black porter stout and chemical brothers.

Paul said...

Dotel should get Twitter hoping.

Kyle Baker said...

I think you meant "hopping" but "hoping" is ironically appropriate, too, Paul!

Paul said...

I haven't seen most of the game. But consistently wrong is a great goal.

karina said...

what Chemical Brothers? Surrender?

Kyle Baker said...

Oh, this is the shittiest of the shitty stupid Torre rants:

"@ChadMoriyama: Way to rush out of the dugout and defend your veteran catcher, Joe Torre, you useless shit"

cc: MLASF

Paul said...

Touché Dusty.

Casualito now goes to hide in the bushes.

NicJ said...

hey now everyone the playlists come after the loss.

Josh S. said...

Chad bagging on Torre for not running out of the dugout to defend Ausmus.

He's really reaching now.

Josh S. said...

Beaten to the punch. That's what I get for trying to type with an ice cream sandwich in my hand.

NicJ said...

MSB'd!!

spank said...

Where is that cunning linguist MLASF anyways?

Kyle Baker said...

And Mr C for that matter...where is he?

karina said...

It's Friday night,gentlemen.Mr LASF and Mr C have better things to do

NicJ said...

Pods should just abandon the slap bunt.

spank said...

Memories of James Baldwin. Gotta love the 90's

Kyle Baker said...

I know Mr C well enough to know that he has absolutely nothing better to do on a Friday night than to sit around typing snarky comments on a baseball fan blog about a team that is having a poor season. It doesn't add up.

Steve Sax said...

We are choking this game away

NicJ said...

what else is new?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

DIE DIE DIE

Paul said...

Mr. C. Is getting the mullet worked on.

Josh S. said...

Mr. C's sleepin'. He said so earlier in the thread.

Josh S. said...

I was trying so hard to think of a good fill-in rant for Ih8Colletti, and then the man himself shows up and knocks it out of the damn park.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Jim Edmonds' Gameday pic looks so damn photoshopped, it's like they didn't even care.

Paul said...

I really can't believe how great our pitching has been since the break. Unless we have a lead then it turns to shit.

NicJ said...

oh shit, nearly clocked phillips there.

karina said...

@Rbnlaw "Giants interested in Hawpe".I just pictured Hawpe wearing the Giants uniform and I can think of few more hateful images.Urgh

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Have we scored our allocated two runs yet tonight?

Kyle Baker said...

ih8 just fuckin nailed it.

NicJ said...

sit the fuck down phillips dont start that shit in DS. the LFP will rush the field.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

JJ Abrams Neeebs!

Nostradamus said...

@dusty and karina

On the couch

Game on the radio (can't bear to watch)

Half-assed working on a puzzle that Sax got me hooked on.

Occasionally falling asleep, probably because I've had about 12 hours total so far this week.

Envy of the social scene, that's me!

spank said...

Looks like Spock got a facelift

Josh S. said...

How the hell is 12 anyone's lucky number?

You're stupid, Dusty Baker.

No, not you, "Dusty Baker."

NicJ said...

12 is my lucky number.

Birthday.

Kyle Baker said...

12 is a pathetic piece of shit number, signifying exactly nothing. I hate it.

Surly factor: 4.5

Kyle Baker said...

Sorry, Nic.

spank said...

1 is the loneliest number

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

And it shall forever be recorded in the annals of history that Dusty hates Nic's favorite number.

NicJ said...

way to kick a guy while he is down, DB.

#Cueto'd

Paul said...

James get a hit.

NicJ said...

Big Lame James

Josh S. said...

It just sounded dumb that the Reds' losing streak would end at 12 because 12 was Dusty's lucky number.

Kyle Baker said...

I'll make it up to you, Nic. I'll buy you a 12-pack.

NicJ said...

fucking shit that was a low strike.

Blue has to drop a deuce.

Paul said...

A hit!!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Kemp'd?

karina said...

King James doesn't suck.

Well,sometimes.

You're so mean

NicJ said...

thanks DB. We can split is and watch the Pac-12 tourney in a few years.

Kyle Baker said...

Two run HR.

Josh S. said...

Matt should have had an inside-the-park HR on that one. He's so damn lazy.

Kyle Baker said...

I meant outs, not runs. Outs.

spank said...

Well...........

Kyle Baker said...

@ Nic

We can meet at noon.

Josh S. said...

Turns out the real Dusty was right!

I'm convinced. Give me my dollar back.

Paul said...

Typical.

i must admit im starting to look forward to the clever song titles rathers than the actual outcomes.

karina said...

@Dusty Baker I'm just typing songs that remind me of the evening.However, when I was a teenager, I did study with the TV on and listening to music.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

What's the point of unfollowing MOKM if Rob Neyer keeps retweeting him?

Should I

a) Drink 2 more beers

b) Pack for a flight I have to take tomorrow morning that I haven't even started packing for

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Both!

NicJ said...

i sent out a tweet earlier today that people need to stop using motherfucking RT as a reply. MSTI does this shit all the time.

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

What is this strange "study" you speak of?

karina said...

This season is a lovechild between Elliott Smith and Joy Division.Morrisey is the godfather.

spank said...

a.

Josh S. said...

Why is an ESPN journalist retweeting a twenty-five-year-old armchair GM?

Paul said...

Bad Buritto- Flaming Menudos featuring Flaco Jimenez on accordion.

spank said...

Dead Souls-Joy Division

Paul said...

@Josh

I had that Beck song in my head all day.

karina said...

I just wrote a Twitter review of a emo-hipster wannabe depressing band.

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

In 140 characters or fewer? That is one succinct review!

karina said...

This morning,in the middle of a rerun of the second of "Dawson's Creek", the channel had a live version of Beck's "Sexx Laws"

spank said...

@ Karina

The Flaming Menudos Featuring Flaco Jimenez on accordion?

Kyle Baker said...

We are not going to go 30-10 to close out the season.

I just want us to start plunking people and starting fights. I mean us SoSG readers not the team.

karina said...

Ah?

It was Beck and his awesomeness.

NicJ said...

so what happens if the angels and dodgers records are the dame putting them at the last protected draft pick?

I hope its a tiebreak based on who lost the season series because we totally got that one locked down.

Steve Sax said...

@dusty 10:19p: I'm in for two beers with you if you pick A

NicJ said...

*same

Kyle Baker said...

"in the middle of a rerun of the second of "Dawson's Creek"

This is how a lot of stories begin for RBN.

Steve Sax said...

I'm playing CodMW2

karina said...

Daddy Yankee-Llamado de Emergencia

Kyle Baker said...

@ Sax

It's on.

NicJ said...

Daddy Yankee=Awesome

Awesome=Horrible

Kyle Baker said...

@Sax

I thought you were made to give up CodMW2.

Josh S. said...

Man, I know they still have to get people to watch, but all the upbeat promos for the games are tough to swallow right now.

karina said...

@Dusty Baker 10:20 "What is this strange "study" you speak of?"

I studied for a lifetime when I was a teenager.Math was impossible to me,for example.My parents had to pay extra classes in middle,junior high and high school.

Josh S. said...

NO, SERIOUSLY.

WHY DO THEY KEEP ASKING WHICH DIVISION LEADER IS MOST SURPRISING?

NicJ said...

Yeah, really. I know certain statlickers want the dodgers to start selling off the old and just play the farm kids. If you think the dodgers are broke now just wait until we are losing all the games by ten runs and DS looks like a clippers game.

karina said...

@NicJ hahahahahaha but the title describes perfectly the Dodgers' situation, since game 4 from the 2009 NLCS

Kyle Baker said...

I just want to punch Steve Lyons fucking face. This has been a prevailing thought since Spring Training, but is now compounded by our tanking season and the promos he prevails over that seek to fill me full of hope and promise but instead make me want to kill Kill KILL!

Paul said...

Don't cry- G n R

Kyle Baker said...

"Math was impossible to me,for example."

I hear you there, Karina. I hear you.

I still cherish every evening that I get to come home and not do math homework, and it's been more than 20 years since I've had to.

karina said...

Foolish Games-Jewel

Josh S. said...

Man, a Padres/Rangers World Series is going to be so weird.

Nostradamus said...

I take it we lost. The couch is no longer adequate, I've got a giant crease in my face. G'nite, kids.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Padres/Rangers? But what would Colin Cowherd talk about!

NicJ said...

better than a yankees/NL world series.

NicJ said...

THE RATINGS MLASF, THE RATINGS!!!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

He'll likely spend a half hour talking about how it's a fluke that two small-market teams made it to the World Series. Because that's never happened before (cough, Colorado, Florida, Houston, Arizona, Tampa Bay, cough).

Kyle Baker said...

New most shitty commercial now trending on the Dusty-ometer: Burger King spot where some dude is standing on a ladder near the roof in a rainstorm talking about some "new" burger.

Josh S. said...

Colin Cowherd would talk about football, duh.

Kyle Baker said...

Surly factor now 5

Paul said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The rest of the show would be about football and why there's nothing wrong with NBC delaying a majority of the Olympics.

Paul said...

Cowherd loves those ratings and then loves to to say the majority of fans are idiots that don't know anything.

karina said...

Who's going to watch a Rangers/Padres World Series?apart from their fans, the bandwagon "fans" and the hardcore fans who think some baseball is better than no baseball at all.

I guess they'll schedule the games PT hour.

Josh S. said...

Hurley factor: 4 8 15 16 23 42

karina said...

@Dusty Baker 10:39 PM remember you don't have math homework and you can enjoy alcoholic beverages without adult supervision :)

Steve Sax said...

@dusty: one beer down, how is the packing going?

spank said...

Colon

Kyle Baker said...

@Sax

One beer almost down. No packing. I thought it was just drinking, not packing, as part of our deal? Fuck packing.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I do enjoy Spanning the Globe

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

That's exactly it. Every night I come home, I walk in and think, "I don't have math homework. Let me get a beer."

Kyle Baker said...

How's that AJ Burnett guy working out?

Steve Sax said...

Ok, opening up #2

good drinking with you, dusty!

For anyone playing codmw2, look for the sosg clantag

Josh S. said...

Excuse me, I have to turn off the TV. All the spin on this USC football preview is making me dizzy.

Paul said...

Happiness is overrated - Airborne Toxic Event

karina said...

@Dusty in spite of the extra classes, the effort of my older brother and some of their friends (who studied civil engineering), all the hours practicing, I always got 9-10 on tests.

In Venezuela,20 is the highest grade,10 is the lowest grade to pass.

In my defense, there are few things that scare me as a math test.

Steve Sax said...

@Karina 10:41p: I actualy would attend a padres rangers world series just for the novelty. Really.

Kyle Baker said...

@Sax

Beer #2 open (Dos XX lager)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

You'd have to admit, Padres/Rangers would probably feature the best players possible. A-Gon, Lee, Hamilton, Kinsler, Latos, Bell, Vladdy, Ludwick. A lot of big names for the big baseball fans. It's the casual fans who will be lost.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

STOOPID CASUAL FANS NO KNOW WHO MAT LATOS IS

karina said...

@Steve Sax because you're a hardcore baseball fan. I would arrange my schedule around the World Series anyway, which it involves getting a TV to the stadium, so I can "enjoy" the Aguilas game AND the WS game.

karina said...

I dig Vladdy.It broke my heart when Vladdy declared he wanted to play with the Dodgers but Colletti dodn't want him.

*sigh*

Josh S. said...

Padres/Rangers, Twins/Padres, or Twins/Braves are my most likely scenarios.

I just don't see the Jeters making it all the way again this year.

Paul said...

for some reason I really could go for buca on the rocks.

#ghostofnonno

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I don't see the Braves going too far in the playoffs. That lineup's going to fall to earth fast. Glaus and Ankiel are a double-tandem of fail, Alex Gonzalez has lost all of his power, and Heyward is slumping.

Kyle Baker said...

I would love that WS matchup. In fact, I'm completely pulling for Rangers to make it. I want good baseball and intriguing matchups. I could give a shit what city a team is from. Ideally Los Angeles would be one of them, but I'm still arranging my sched around the games no matter who is in it. Unless it's the Yankmes and Shards.

karina said...

@Mr LASF Texas also has Andrus, who's a great player.He comes from a family of good baseball players,too.

I dig CJ Wilson too.

*blushes*

Kyle Baker said...

Paul - Come join Sax and me at this end of the bar.

karina said...

Also, the Rangers getting into the WS, would be a slap to the face for other teams.That team is flat broke and they end up getting Cliff Lee,for example.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

A World Series between two teams who during the last couple of years had to be the most insolvent franchises in sports would likely create a tear in the fabric of space and time.


I am rooting for that tear.

Kyle Baker said...

Is anyone going to tomorrow night's game? I'm extremely bummed that I am going to be out of town and not be able to take my pup to the inaugural Bark in the Park event. If anyone goes, please let me know how it is. In an earlier life I would consider this gimmicky but now I'd like to take Frankie to this event. He always sports a Blue harness and doesn't miss a single Dodger game. He's got an LA cap, too.

karina said...

Changed my mind. That'd be a great World Series.

Go Pods and Rangers!

Kyle Baker said...

I read the first graf of MLASF's last post and thought, "Tear in space and time? Fokkin' BRING IT!" then scrolled down and noted that he felt the same way.

Paul said...

All I known is football starts soon and I can start saving for spring training 2011.

Kyle Baker said...

@Paul

Assuming we're not boycotting AZ, are you going to Spring Training? Cause I'm definitely considering dragging my dumb ass over there for the first time.

Kyle Baker said...

Imagine that, a Marlins catcher with a PED problem.

#LoDuca

Paul said...

Okay Dusty!
*steps over Mr. C*
Where is the dartboard?

Paul said...

Yeah Dusty.

I planning for st. Patty's day again. Schedule permitting. Great time, great complex and after months of no Dodgers it feels great.

Kyle Baker said...

We're not throwing darts. We're throwing dwarves. And MSBs.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Styx-The Grand Illusion

Loney Fan said...

Wellwell that sucked. At least I got within 25 ft. of Steve Lyons. I used that opportunity to let him know that his broadcasting skills are lacking. HLACK yelled "Stop saying 'Happy House'" I hope it worked.

Kyle Baker said...

Keep me posted on the AZ plans, Paul.

Kyle Baker said...

@Loney Fan

MDIL noted Lyons sitting behind home in mid innings tonight, chatting up some young thang. Is that when you and HLACK taunted him?

Kyle Baker said...

@Neeebs

I would have guess it was more of a Pieces of Eight kind of night.

Kyle Baker said...

Dog-lino? *scratches head*

Paul said...

Holy crap it will be weird when Manny shows up. Exact opposite of his first month here.

Steve Sax said...

Dusty! I wish I had Dos Equis here in the house! We've got Heineken, Amstel, Corona, Fat Tire, and Stella in the house (big party last wkend)

Neeebs (The Original) said...

@DB:

Renegade with a whiskey shot. I'm gonna be shouting some lyrics.

Kyle Baker said...

I have exactly [null set] beers left, Sax. Heading out of town and didnt' re-stock. I'd even drink a damn Amstel Light right now, since this qualifies as a pinch.

I think Neeebs has the right idea.

NicJ said...

"Imagine that, a Marlins catcher with a PED problem.

#LoDuca"


and piazza too, allegedly.

Kyle Baker said...

You know, for all the PED instrospection I've devoted to the field of armchair GM'ing, I've never really spent a lot of time on the Piazza conundrum. Enlighten me...

[Disclosure: big Piazza fan, but that doesn't have anything to do with whether he may or may not have taken PEDs. Or been into other grown men, for that matter, if we're really dissecting Piazza]

MMMmmmm....piazza.

Kyle Baker said...

K, Sax. Two beers down (not in total, but since we discussed having two more beers). Gotta get to bed so I can get up in time to pack.

Good night, fine people. Catch you next time from Arkansas.

cc: Dittmore, Small Sample Size

NicJ said...

just a lot of implications. I believe Canseco has said he was on them in a few radio interviews and he has turned out to be pretty dead on about most everyone, sadly.

you can probably mull around Baseballssteroidera.com and find more in depth stuff.

DB,
When you get to are kansas.

I was smoking a CAO Brasilia last night and downing a few (too many) beers. Good weather for the back yard.

Josh S. said...

Watching (and napping through, thruthfully) West Ham/Bolton, Dusty!

About to switch to TWiB, though.

rbnlaw said...

Josh,
The Hammers and the Wanderers? I fell asleep just typing it.

Kyle Baker said...

Bolton won 3-1, no? Two of my best buds are Bolton and W ham supporters so I'm sure they are down the pub still long after the match has ended.
