«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 392 of 392We are gonna waste Ausmus first two hit game since 1924.
that chick nailed GBA tonight.
Can we mix it up and play Living in America during the 7th?
HIT THIS FUCKER IN THE HAND, CASEY!
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?
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?
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.
I just got my humidor out, RBN. Deciding what to smoke right now. What are you having?
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.
aumus two hits tonight, now with a RISP guess whats coming.
Bailey does look American Psychoish.
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.
:(
Ive seen roadrunner cartoons less predictable then that.
AUSMOSS MAD
Drink some orange juice, Paul, and put on some Allman Bros.
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.
Agreed DB. Plus shitty teams dont get calls. Unless they are playing the dodgers.
WE ARE DONE PROFESSIONALLY!
I have some black porter stout and chemical brothers.
Dotel should get Twitter hoping.
I think you meant "hopping" but "hoping" is ironically appropriate, too, Paul!
I haven't seen most of the game. But consistently wrong is a great goal.
what Chemical Brothers? Surrender?
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
Touché Dusty.
Casualito now goes to hide in the bushes.
hey now everyone the playlists come after the loss.
Chad bagging on Torre for not running out of the dugout to defend Ausmus.
He's really reaching now.
Beaten to the punch. That's what I get for trying to type with an ice cream sandwich in my hand.
MSB'd!!
Where is that cunning linguist MLASF anyways?
And Mr C for that matter...where is he?
It's Friday night,gentlemen.Mr LASF and Mr C have better things to do
Pods should just abandon the slap bunt.
Memories of James Baldwin. Gotta love the 90's
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.
We are choking this game away
what else is new?
DIE DIE DIE
Mr. C. Is getting the mullet worked on.
Mr. C's sleepin'. He said so earlier in the thread.
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.
Jim Edmonds' Gameday pic looks so damn photoshopped, it's like they didn't even care.
I really can't believe how great our pitching has been since the break. Unless we have a lead then it turns to shit.
oh shit, nearly clocked phillips there.
@Rbnlaw "Giants interested in Hawpe".I just pictured Hawpe wearing the Giants uniform and I can think of few more hateful images.Urgh
Have we scored our allocated two runs yet tonight?
ih8 just fuckin nailed it.
sit the fuck down phillips dont start that shit in DS. the LFP will rush the field.
JJ Abrams Neeebs!
@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!
Looks like Spock got a facelift
How the hell is 12 anyone's lucky number?
You're stupid, Dusty Baker.
No, not you, "Dusty Baker."
12 is my lucky number.
Birthday.
12 is a pathetic piece of shit number, signifying exactly nothing. I hate it.
Surly factor: 4.5
Sorry, Nic.
1 is the loneliest number
And it shall forever be recorded in the annals of history that Dusty hates Nic's favorite number.
way to kick a guy while he is down, DB.
#Cueto'd
James get a hit.
Big Lame James
It just sounded dumb that the Reds' losing streak would end at 12 because 12 was Dusty's lucky number.
I'll make it up to you, Nic. I'll buy you a 12-pack.
fucking shit that was a low strike.
Blue has to drop a deuce.
A hit!!!
Kemp'd?
King James doesn't suck.
Well,sometimes.
You're so mean
thanks DB. We can split is and watch the Pac-12 tourney in a few years.
Two run HR.
Matt should have had an inside-the-park HR on that one. He's so damn lazy.
I meant outs, not runs. Outs.
Well...........
@ Nic
We can meet at noon.
Turns out the real Dusty was right!
I'm convinced. Give me my dollar back.
Typical.

@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.

In 140 characters or fewer? That is one succinct review!
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"
@ Karina
The Flaming Menudos Featuring Flaco Jimenez on accordion?
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.
Ah?
It was Beck and his awesomeness.
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.

I thought you were made to give up CodMW2.
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.
@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.
NO, SERIOUSLY.
WHY DO THEY KEEP ASKING WHICH DIVISION LEADER IS MOST SURPRISING?
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.
@NicJ hahahahahaha but the title describes perfectly the Dodgers' situation, since game 4 from the 2009 NLCS
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!
Don't cry- G n R
"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.

Man, a Padres/Rangers World Series is going to be so weird.
I take it we lost. The couch is no longer adequate, I've got a giant crease in my face. G'nite, kids.
Padres/Rangers? But what would Colin Cowherd talk about!
better than a yankees/NL world series.
THE RATINGS MLASF, THE RATINGS!!!!
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).
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.
Colin Cowherd would talk about football, duh.
Surly factor now 5
The rest of the show would be about football and why there's nothing wrong with NBC delaying a majority of the Olympics.
Cowherd loves those ratings and then loves to to say the majority of fans are idiots that don't know anything.
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.
Hurley factor: 4 8 15 16 23 42
@Dusty Baker 10:39 PM remember you don't have math homework and you can enjoy alcoholic beverages without adult supervision :)
@dusty: one beer down, how is the packing going?
Colon
@Sax
One beer almost down. No packing. I thought it was just drinking, not packing, as part of our deal? Fuck packing.
I do enjoy Spanning the Globe
@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."
How's that AJ Burnett guy working out?
Ok, opening up #2
good drinking with you, dusty!
For anyone playing codmw2, look for the sosg clantag
Excuse me, I have to turn off the TV. All the spin on this USC football preview is making me dizzy.
Happiness is overrated - Airborne Toxic Event
@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.
@Karina 10:41p: I actualy would attend a padres rangers world series just for the novelty. Really.
@Sax
Beer #2 open (Dos XX lager)
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.
STOOPID CASUAL FANS NO KNOW WHO MAT LATOS IS
@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.
I dig Vladdy.It broke my heart when Vladdy declared he wanted to play with the Dodgers but Colletti dodn't want him.
*sigh*
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.
for some reason I really could go for buca on the rocks.
#ghostofnonno
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.
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.
@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*
Paul - Come join Sax and me at this end of the bar.
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.
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.
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.
Changed my mind. That'd be a great World Series.
Go Pods and Rangers!
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.
All I known is football starts soon and I can start saving for spring training 2011.
@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.
Imagine that, a Marlins catcher with a PED problem.
#LoDuca
Okay Dusty!
*steps over Mr. C*
Where is the dartboard?
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.
We're not throwing darts. We're throwing dwarves. And MSBs.
Styx-The Grand Illusion
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.
Keep me posted on the AZ plans, Paul.
@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?
@Neeebs
I would have guess it was more of a Pieces of Eight kind of night.
Dog-lino? *scratches head*
Holy crap it will be weird when Manny shows up. Exact opposite of his first month here.
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)
@DB:
Renegade with a whiskey shot. I'm gonna be shouting some lyrics.
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.
"Imagine that, a Marlins catcher with a PED problem.
#LoDuca"
and piazza too, allegedly.
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.
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
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.

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.
Watching (and napping through, thruthfully) West Ham/Bolton, Dusty!
About to switch to TWiB, though.
Josh,
The Hammers and the Wanderers? I fell asleep just typing it.
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.
