Chad Billingsley (10-7, 3.70) vs. Jhoulys Chacin (7-9, 3.98).
COMMENTS: Four-game win streak, tie with the Rockies for fourth place in the NL Wild Card hunt, and a dramatic victory last night. I'd like to feel more confident about this resurgent Dodgers team. However, Billingsley, who delayed his start one day due to an issue with his right calf, will be pitching in Coors Field, not exactly the most hospitable place for shaky pitchers. That doesn't exactly build up my confidence level much, even if we are facing Chacin (1-2 vs. the Dodgers this year).
At least I can take solace in the fact that Dinger is probably having some leg issues, too. That's gotta be a groin pull. (Dusty, this one's for you!)

Bring it on!
i need a fantasy team name.
What about "CarGo is the Devil"
I LOVE ROD!
HOT ROD!!!!!
@Nic
What about Up Jumped the Devil?
ROWDY RODDY BARAJAS!!!!
For all our jokes about him, Jamey Carroll has definitely been a bright spot this year.
Is there a miracle on the way?
i need to think about it. I typically spend more time on my team name than my draft.
Johnson follows Rod!
DAMMIT!
Hoping Johnson goes long and deep.
Well said, MB.
Hot-Hand Barajas!
@NicJ that name rocks! be my guest :)
@DB
Couldn't help myself. Well he did go long and deep but just couldn't deliver.
@MB
Enough about my prom night.
@DB - I'm sure Mrs. Dusty would say that you made up for lost time. At least we all hope so :D
Exactly, MB. You live and learn.
INSTAPOLL
Which cigar should I smoke:
Expensive (e.g., Padron Anniversario)
Moderate (e.g., El Rey del Mundo)
Cheap-ass (scrape the humidor)
@DB - just how buzzed are you?
Highly buzzed - cheap ass
Moderate - El Rey
No buzz - El Padron
Go for it!
Nice FU shot from RBar.
@DB
BTW, if you EVER see MB smoke a cigar you will know that she is in the extremely to over the top buzzed category.
I think I need a consolation drink with my fellow SoSG'rs. I hate losing.
twitter is a lot more pleasant now that i gave MSTI the boot.
@NicJ I'm thinking in doing the same thing.
@Meaniebreanie come over, I have Margarita mix and tequila.
There's champagne and enough oranges to make mimosas
Karina -
I would love to have a drink with you! I have been to Caracas but that is as close as I have been to you. You are welcome at my house any time. I have a wide variety of wine, champagne, but most of my hard liquor is gone thanks to friends. I'm sure we will meet one day and collect our drinks : )
@Meaniebreanie of course we'll have a chance to do that :)
did you like Caracas?
I'm only moderately buzzed, MB. Nice pasta dinner I whipped up during the game and some french rose' > spanish granache. HOWEVER, I plan on switching to Scotch given the loss and my anger over the b.s. ump decision to toss Belli. I'm thinking the mid-range cigar is the way to go.
@Karina,
I wasn't there very long but it reminded me of some very large metropolitan cities such as New York and Madrid. There were parts that were beautiful and other areas that were very impoverished. It truly made me grateful for everything I have in life.
THIS is the kind of stat I love:
Tonight was 58th time since moving to LA that #Dodgers had more HR allowed (2) than strikeouts (1)
--TBLA
[I mean the stat concept not the implication for shittiness]
At least the Angels are losing - to Orioles!
I could REALLY go for some good pasta.
@Meaniebreanie when did you come here?.You're right, the poor neighborhoods there are depressing.
However, it's a good place to eat, drink and party.
Did you try venezuelan rum/beer?
I want something sweet,something with lots of sugar and fat.
@Karina,
It was about 5 years ago. And yes,I tried the rum. It was excellent. I'm not much on beer unless it is the only thing to drink.
I do like the ABC islands as I am a scuba diver. I really enjoy diving in Bonaire but usually stick there instead of going into Venezuela.
How about a bacon mojito, Karina?
Karina - sweet, sugar, and fat. Sounds like a Pina Colada to me or good ole ice cream.
At least the Giants are losing again
Sax - you made it! People were wondering where our sons were. Better late than never.
@Dusty I can't stand the taste of bacon,ewwwww
@Meaniebreanie you are a scuba diver!wow!.I love rum, to my father's chagrin.
There's no ice cream here or anything sweet for that matter :(
@Steve Sax were you like Mr C, solving puzzle(s) all day long?
I have leftover birthday cake.
@Josh,
If distance weren't a factor I'm sure Karina and I would take you up on that. Who doesn't love birthday cake?
I have to admit I'm addicted to this Katy Perry California Gurls song as my designated summer song. Love the proud CA love she exudes, but then I heard something about her favorite baseball team:

BTW:
Hypnotize - Notorious B.I.G.
BTW II: This loss is on you for posting about Dinger, Sax!
Woo hoo, three members for fantasy! My dream is coming to life!
Wait, Karen's a Saints fan?!
HELL YEAH!
Mr.LASF - I'm trying to sign up. What's the name of your league?
http://es.pn/byzfEt
That should be the link.
Can Country Grammar be the theme song for our NFL fantasy league? I just had to listen to that 3 times in a row for old times' sake.
LA Stat Lickers in tha heezy!
#MLASFFantasyLeagueName
Draft is on Monday at 7 if you do join, Meanie. I wanted to pick a time when I would hope most of us would be on a computer.
WTF? They lost?
Crap. I was busy drinking and eating ribs.
I'll try to pay more attention.
Mr. LASF - I received confirmation of registering but I don't see it on the site. I am new to all of this so I will need coaching. I will make sure that I am logged on at 7:00 PST to do what we need to do. Because I don't know what I'm doing we will probably win. That happens to me all the time in Vegas : )
@RBN
How does one drink ribs?
Sabado Gigante on the telly...life is good.
Delino needs to get in on some of dis fantasy football action.
So we can kick his bitch-ass around.
You still haven't shown up, Meanie. Are you sure you've fully registered?
Team name activated
prepare for doom
I thought I did although I am in a somewhat altered state. I received email confirmation. I will check on it tomorrow morning and if it doesn't show I will try again.
Since you are a SAINTS FAN, I will try to post a picture for you of the new Super Bowl ring if it doesn't reveal too much of me. They are very cool!
Kobe in an angels jersey.
(cries)
No, Kobe, No. Boooooooooooo!
Love seeing Fish on DodgerVision at the Yard, though.
I thought Kobe was a Dodger fan! What happened? WHAT HAPPENED?!?!
Yeah, Kobe has always has this Angels thing. It's his inner scared white boy who likes the clean cut, so-called family friendly atmosphere.
I heard him one time years ago say he hates baseball, so I don't really care anyway. He said this after Angels won WS and he had some product placement tie-in crap he had to go to.
Except that I wish he were an LA fan. The kind actually from LA.
Kobe does live in the OC, right?
Who else is playing fantasy?
Josh, RBN, MR C, MR F, Sons?
Im totally taking big ben as my QB.
Wait, how many points is a sexual assault worth?
we got one more!!
this is exciting.
@Nic
It is exciting. Technically, it's the high point of my day. *sighs, stares at feet*
6 spaces left!
I'll join if you guys need another player.
There's still more than a day before the draft. Don't feel obligated, Mr F.
Ah, bollocks. I'll sign up when I get home.
One more in.
looks like i have jason in week one. You are going down, Deltalina.
Looks like I have Neeebs' mom in week one.
Finally back. I am full of wine and food and happy the giants lost.
Need to sign up for the fantasy league.
Dammit my team's name was going to be Neeebs mom!
If I'm Neeebs' mom, there's some weird temporal distortion shit going on 'round here.
Does this mean I have to call my team "next to neeebs mom"?
If someone doesn't name their team "Neeebs' Mom" I'm moving to Laughlin.
It's all yours Paul. Dusty's just questioning my manhood.
Once I get to a normal comp. Trying to sign onto this thing on the iPhone is tricky.
I'm In
Answer sent
1. I'm not much of a fantasy football guy. I'll be rooting for Neeebs' mom on the sidelines.
2. @DB,
Blenders work wonders; even on ribs. Actually, I was in a class in Burbank most of the day and got to my neighbors BBQ late. I did manage about 10 spare ribs (awesome, BTW) and 4 beers before settling in at home.
Mr C, I would never question your manhood. I already know the answer.
@Spank - you are dreaming. If I don't know him, I'm not going to pick him. If possible either Drew Brees or Tony Romo for me.
