COMMENTS: Halladay! Celebrate! We-are-going-to-get-our-ass-kicked. The Dodgers came through on the Weisman-mandated four-game win streak, and now they're clean out of winnin' for the season. Just in time for the McCourts' divorce trial! Does this team have its timing down or what?
UPDATE from Sax 4:58p: Looks like Ken Levine of Dodger Talk has taken over dodgers.com! How else to explain comedic headlines like this:
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha!

STOOPID TORRE HE TRADE MANNY FOR MONEY NOW WE LOSE
Dodgers consistently take longer than any other team to post the lineup for the day's game. I follow a bunch of other (non-Dodger) writer/Twitterers and official news feeds and such, and this is consistently the case, I have determined after a detailed analysis.
@Dusty - Joe's probably looking for his glasses (which are probably on top of his head) so he can see what he writes on the lineup card. That or Mattingly is in charge tonight and he needs to revise the lineup to ensure Kemp bats second and sixth and Manny hits cleanup.
Mattingly keeps spelling Kemp with a C and Loney without an E
Podsednik LF
Theriot 2B
Ethier RF
Kemp CF
Loney 1B
Blake 3B
Carroll SS
Barajas C
Kuroda P
Hey, that lineup looks a lot like it has recently. Manny who?
*cries*
just added to the original post. That's some funny shit on the Dodgers' website.
(Casey Blake and Rafael Furcal have those missing Es, by the way (15 of them, each!))
Neeebs has a stolen "e."
Dodgers website also features this headline barely a centimeter away from the one Sax references:
"Dodgers' Wild Card hopes take hit"
Which is it?!? Unbridled optimism or solemn realization?
I'd say it's both unbridled realization and solemn optimism.
Yikes, that bottom third of the lineup looks like a black hole of offensive suckitude. Carroll has a broken finger, Barajas is 0-9 lifetime against Halliday and Kuroda has as many hits this year as I do.
Of course, the rest of the lineup has the potential for only marginally less offense suckitude.
^ Halladay. Damn auto-correcting web browser.
Jason's right. This entire lineup portends to offensive suckitude.
This lineup is decidedly fucktitious.
Just found out I'll be going to the game tomorrow night. Free ticket, plus I want one of them cooler bags they're giving away.
Not Manny LF
Caught Stealing 2B

@DB:
Yeah, I stole that "e" alright. I stole it from the Citizen King himself, Louis-Phillipe I. Now he simply goes by King Phillip.
Or, if a certain someone wrote out the lineup
Worthless sack of crap LF
Slightly smaller sack of crap 2B

Who has more hits tonight. the dodgers or Jay Mariotti?
fuck that asshole.
@Neeebs
I prefer the other kind of Bourbon Restoration.
@Nic J
Now that you mention it, I'd rather not.
That's what happens when you spend a week with Jalen Rose.
Hey everyone!!
It's time for Dodger baseball!!
*rolls into fetal position and whimpers himself to sleep*
DRAFT ORDER IN 11 MINUTES
These are the suckiest bunch of suckers who ever sucked.
Bags of suckitude indeed.
MLASF,
Make my draft a 32oz. Newkie if you've got it on tap.
im on pins and needles.
It's a good thing I'm not drafting today. Work has been and will be hell.
The only thing that would have made the Mariotti situation funnier is that if he was on a date with Plaschke.
(domestic abuse isnt funny, seeing someone knocked off their high horse is hilarious however)
NO IMPORTS
@MLASF
I can get out of work at about 6:15 and am going to break several laws in order to get home by draft time. If not it will be soon thereafter and I'll just have to let the computer select the first few rounds. This may actually be a better strategy all told, anyway. Is Roger Staubach available?
No imports? What sort of Tea Party type of shit is this?
@MLASF: He usually describes the one you described as "Pretty good" as "the worst defensive right fielder in Dodgers history" or somesuch.
What happened with Marriotti? I need a laugh.
Speaking of Tea Party, that Glen Beck rally was really something.
Yeah, something.
MR F,
http://bit.ly/9tmQ7M
"something..." is a fair description.
Everyone on the team sucks at everything but Kemp.
oh hell, i got 4th pick.
Woohoo, fifth! I break even!
Heh. Thanks NicJ.
Draft order for those who wish to watch:

I got third FOOLS
Headed home. Smell ya later.
it bothers me that LA radio is looking back on the manny era as if he were andruw jones.
@MC:
Who wants a constitutional monarchy anyways. If you're going to be a monarch, you might as well be an absolute monarch.
Bourbon-Absolute.
*subliminal thoughts*
P.Ditty
steve lyons just said he said the dodgers are better without manny.
OOOOOOOKAAYYYYYYY
Scotty Pods ups the grittiness quotient exponentially, in a way Manny never could.
this core better start winning.
I believe it's spelled C-O-R-P-S-E
So "Manny wore out his welcome" appears to be the official spin. Horseshit.
Hooray for MSM...
At least we can focus on the important issue facing this team: the divorce. Hey, I know, let's all posture that it's affecting the players on the team!
I have an anonymous source that says that's a weak-ass effort at "sports journalism".
they dodgers they interviewed just right now looked bummed about manny leaving.
can someone pass me the football link?
http://es.pn/byzfEt
Dodgers Live was a total Manny burial. Even the poll question was weird: "Was the Manny Ramirez experiment worth it?" Experiment? Ethier at first base is an experiment.
As much as I've given him a hard time lately, MSTI's farewell to Manny piece was great
Greetings Everyone!
I'm going to miss the Manny era. Some of the "Manny Moments" were some of the most exciting baseball situations I've ever seen
Sorry it's quiet over here, Karen. Baseball fan site fantasy football draft. Go figure.
Mr. Unclutch squirts one.
Well, that was our best chance.
Thanks Andre!
I'll take that run!!
At least fjl brought it
Hey, a month ago, that run wouldn't have scored.
Mr.C....I love football but I'm still in baseball mode :)
*God have mercy on me*
Me, too, Karen!
HIT IT TO MR. SUBWAY!
About the baseball mode... no comment about the loving football part.
Hooray for our little MSB!!
Mini Sirloin Burgers > Five Dollar Footlongs
Getting Carlos Ruiz out is our World Championship.
Mine eyes deceive me. They're saying we're up 2-0.
Yeah, right.
Sax...We brought the big bats tonite
Good lord there's still a baseball game going on?
hey, we are winning?
We're...winning?
I'm heading home. See you kids soon.
Back from the draft. How bad are we getting beat? Wait, what?!?
Am I the only one who feels happy to be out of that confining speech box? It's like I can stretch my arms and legs here.
My brain is fried. Lates
Epale everyone!
for the ones who missed it, I just said at the draft "how can you care for the Dodgers score right now"
Yay for Barajas!!!
That draft interface was less than optimal.
ROD GOD DAMN BARAJAS! Dodger for life.
@Mr LASF me too,I'm still stressed
I hope my kicker is better than Charlie Brown :(
STOOPID family, who cares about birthdays when there's a draft to make?
Yay! Ill-Timed Home Run C!
Love the guy wearing the old skool looking Barajas shirt. I'm sure his parents are there. How cool to dream about being a Dodger then hit a HR on your first home game as a Dodger.
Woo hoo! Rowdy Rod!
how the hell did he catch that?
bring us mimosa, taiwan will touch your heart!!!!
I wonder if Frank tried to pay his legal bills by trading advertising space behind home plate to his representation.
Did Frank already fill the Mannywood ad space?
Yup, the Mannywood space was replaced a couple of weeks ago.
burn in hell ruiz.
...and take Victorino with ya!
I am still a wreck after that hectic draft/poor draft interface. Literally dizzy.
Now it's 3-0. This has got to be one of you guys f'ing with me.
Josh S? Dusty? Ha ha, this is pretty funny. Come on out and tell me the real score.
I'm still out of it.
so if i have a player in the RB slot does he not get any credit if he happens to get receiving yards?
or can a player only in the RB/WR get multi purpose yards.
if so im fucked.
muh muh muh my kuroda.
Rockin' and firin', Kuroda!
Vin came awfully close to jinxing Hiroki...
@Dusty - boy you took McFadden early... too hard to comment during that ESPN draft. Was on phone doing an auction draft at same time.
Epale todos!
@Nic - receivers get credit for rushing numbers, and vice versa.
thank you MR. League Official.
@Jason
Steiner blurted it out last inning, of course.
@ P. Ditty:
You are right, I did.
1) Emotion pick. Woooooooo Pig Soooooie!
2) Michael Bush broke his thumb so figure DMac will get a lot more carries than he has in the past.
I turned on the tv and first thing I saw was Kemp strike out.
Just not my year dude.
Loney is teh sux.
Shut up Vinny!!!
MLO?
Double Beard!
Vin has stated before that he thinks its his duty to report what is going on.
I respect that.
Ibanez looked like he was loafing on Blake's double. Think he gets crap on Sons of Mike Schmidt?
Vin would spit on the idea of jinxes if he could muster up the necessary amount of saliva.
I do too but I don't like it.
there vin goes, he said it.
Dude sitting behind home plate in the Phillies hat looks like a fat (or at least fatter) Pete Rose.
I think he is over doing it. He is setting up a story.
I am game.
Well, the (wide) eyes didn't have that one.
3-0 through six. Let's go, Hiro!
The seventh inning is when you should start paying attention anyways.
And now the graphics department gets in on it.
you know what, it would happen tonight. I turned down tickets for tonights game because of the draft.
@Paul
Did you really only take one QB?
Vin at this point is jinxing the shit out of it.
If it were Steiner I'd grab my katana and head for the Stadium.
I did, too, Nic.
But it was worth it to see Karina during the draft.
Ixnay on the onay itterhay!
she will destroy us all with AP.
one down.
Kaeding will tear a flexor tendon and her backup K will become the greatest kicker of all time.
this game is lacking something, but i just cant put my finger on it.
LOOOVVEEE MLB Network bonus coverage.
Manny? :D
wowowowow
GREAT inning for Kuroda. Nice small pitch count.
I had to look up the movie on the ad behind home plate. Nothing screams "Blockbuster!" like a movie named The Town. Other titles considered include Cement, Person and Bookshelf.
Epale Y'all - It looks like it's a great day for Dodger baseball. Whew, it's nice to have some good news while trying to detox from the intensity of Mr. LASF's draft.
great shot of the kid in LA hat eating Cracker Jack
@Dusty
No real need to pick a back up QB at this point. Someone will be there to snag.
@FerAlvarezESPN tweeted about Kuroda
It was intense, no, MB?
I'm sad that I got few - er, no - Cowboys.
@P Ditty-
The shot of that little Asian lad, you mean? If so, he was cute as heck. A 'lil Dodger.
im actually sad that i had to pick a cowboy.
Hey, who forgot to tell these sucks that they're supposed to be losing by 6?
The Dodger bunch of sucks; not the Philly bunch of sucks
I'm surprised Kuroda even swung.
@Dusty Baker *blushing* why was so good?because you're going to kick my butt
@NicJ I'm not going to look at my team now, but tomorrow I'll start to change
Kurt Warner is Dancing with the stars
DB - Overall I'm happy with my picks. I've got a few Cowboy's, Saints, Steelers and some that might be dicey. Time will tell. Bring on the season!
Wow, 45 at-bats without a hit? Even by pitcher standards...
Hiro!
FINALLLYYY!!!
Holy shit, a base hit too???
1-for-46!
@Dusty - that's the one.
I'll trade the Cowboys D to any of you Dallas-lovers.
Kuroda > Halladay
That's my boy Hiro!
can we keep him?
All youse guys, whatever you're doing--don't change a thing
Woo hoo, I reverse jinxed it.
.022 batting average, WOW. That's got to be close to a record or something.
Either that's a good sign or a bad sign.
I considered to have an all-player Minnesota team :)
@Karina
I'm not going to kick anyone's butt in fantasy football, for the record.
I'm half watching Rockies-Giants. no mention of the Dodgers game (I think, I'm actually afraid to hear something)
@Jason 8.50p: brilliant comment. Snarfed my malbec. Nice.
Didn't end up with any Cowboys, thankfully.
@bvenezolano shut up, consiguete una novia!
Well just bring all out over and over.
this in between inning is taking too long.
Actually I have two Ds that both have a bye on the same week so might be interested in trading.
I said "I have two Ds"
crap
Crap what? Is my feed behind?
sure is milking this injury time out.
I took a Raider, and I'm proud of that.
what?
@Professor D
Your trash could be my treasure. There is a reason they are called America's team.
crap.
arent they called americas team because they started calling themselves americas team?
@Dusty - Double D's!
I thought it was because Mychal Thompson called them America's team, just like he does with the Lakers and the Yankees.
this feels like slow motion.

for the ones who only have GameDay
That two-seamer is a thing of beauty against lefties.
Lot of Cowboy hate here. Wow.
Nic, you're just jealous cuz your favorite team is not held in as high esteem.
***MB ducks as she feels stuff being thrown at her through the web.
FUCKIN BEACH BALLS!
Damn. Fielder's choice.
crap there goes our 2BMSB.
In play, out(s). Thank goodness.
It's my fault, it was greed to see the game online
It's my fault, it was greed to see the game online
Tough play. Theriot tough guy points: +6. You're a Dodger now, man.
uh oh.
Shane Victorino is NOT a former Dodger.
We need to take revenge on Werth tomorrow.
Those boos to Victorino are sweet music
Werth was kinda nasty, don't you think?
On the slide? or just in general?
Don't hate the Cowboys, just get sick of their fans here in NW Arkansas.
Anyone wish Castro's contract had been purchased instead of Troncoso? His D would be useful now.
I WILL MURDER YOU VICTORINO
fuck you victorino.
I blame the dolt with the beach ball.
I fucking hate Shane Victorino!!!
