Clayton Kershaw (11-8, 3.01) vs. Roy Oswalt (9-13, 3.12).
As we turn the corner into the Dodgers' final month (save a stub series against fellow NL West cellar dweller Arizona in October), our team doesn't have a lot for which to play. But driving the Phillies batty by beating their pair of Roys (ace Halladay, bested by Kuroda on Monday; and rented ace Oswalt, who takes the mound today) would indeed be sweet. It ain't much, but at this stage, minor victories still count for something.
SoSG Sax will be sneaking out of work today to catch the businessperson's special, baking to death in the field level. Look for the guy sweating to death but insisting on another $12 beer for hydration.

@karina
Damn, that's not good! What's winter ball without las águilas?!
Based on record alone, here's how this year compares to the previous 6 of the McCourt Era.
After 134 games, 68-66.
Better than:
2008 (65-69)
2005 (61-73)
Worse than:
2009 (79-55)
2007 (70-64)
2006 (72-62)
2004 (78-56)
What does this mean? Nothing, other than I need to stop looking at B-R and get back to work.
What's this about hockey tickets?
@Josh
Yes, but what rhymes with "Lampreys"?
Damn you and Carl Linnaeus both.
ROB DIBBLE WAS FIRED!!!! LET US DANCE IN THE STREETS NAKED!!!
Now THAT news brightens my day.
I mean the fired part. The naked part, too, but to a lesser extent.
@Mr C the solution is to move home games to Ciudad Bolivar. Do you know what's close to Ciudad Bolivar? the part of the venezuelan Amazon forest. Ten hours from there? the frontier with Brazil. I was there, we couldn't reach the frontier because stoopid centennial tree fell into the road and we got stuck for hours.
We're delighted because this situation is mostly fault of the Chavez government and other part, it's responsibility of the team. I'm tempted to demand a refund of my season tickets
Mr C what do you mean with "the naked part, to a lesser extent"?
That's terrible, K! I hope they get everything in game shape before the season kicks off.
@Karina:
I like Cerati's CD, but its much mellower than his Soda Stereo stuff. A good listen, though. However, La Chilena hijacked the CD and I haven't seen it since.
@MC: Naked huh? I think I'm going blind.
@karina
I have no mixed feelings about Rob Dibble going to the curb.
I definitely have mixed feelings about there being naked in the streets as MLASF suggests. Let's face it, not all naked dancing is created equal.
...not naming any names.
...except Neeebs.
^there's supposed to be another "dancing" in there.
Bahahahaha Rob Dibble.
We'll always have schadenfreude.
Damn you people who get to leave work at approximately 5 pm.
No such luck here, Mr. F.
Though I'm not sure I would qualify what I've been doing today as "work", per se.
Ahh.
Statistics show that the more Moriyama bitches, the less followers he gets. Makes sense.
http://is.gd/eQfV7
The downside of day games: there's like no activity afterwards.
@Mr F do you feel like commenting Colorado-Arizona?
@Neeebs the more I know about La Chilena, the more I like her :)
@Mr LASF direct and indirect followers, when you, Dusty and Josh stopped following him, I lost track :)
I have to share this:
watching Jints-Rockies, they were talking about a charity Zito has. Point is there was this girl who couldn't believe they could order garlic fries whenever they want.
Girl was in the cabin and they brought garlic fries so she could believe it.
neat, right?
We're lucky to have Vinny
It's okay Karina. I have a fantasy football draft in half an hour or so (my friend's league that I was suckered into joining). Plus I still have work to do.
Rox and Giants ,1-1 through 6
anybody else watching this Andy Roddick meltdown?
Andy, shut the eff up and play tennis, you clown.
I think I saw Brooklyn Decker texting an old boyfriend...
Catching up on top chef. I need to tune my guitar.
Wow I didn't know the 2008 record was that bad at this point. The division was horrid that year.
Pods have lost 7 in a row, the Giants can't be the leaders of the division
why isn't Matt Kemp as good as CarGo?
Why can't Matt Kemp be as good as Matt Kemp?
Rox may have just let this pitchers' duel get away. Wild pitch by Ubaldo with a runner on second, added by a throwing error by catcher Miguel Olivo, scores Darren Ford (who?) from second. Giants take a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the 8th.
The Dodgers are likely to call up Justin Sellers on Friday, according to Tony Jackson.
I do not know who he is.
He is the future of this organization?
Also, Bill Shaikin reports that the McCourts initially considered selling naming rights to Dodger Stadium in addition to slashing payroll to maximize revenue.
Is it just me, or is Shaikin becoming one of the three crack reporters on the divorce (DodgerDivorce and Molly Knight being the other two). He was the guy to break the Shpunt story, afterall.
Rox down to their final out, none on
Meh.Jints won :(
SF wins, stays 1.5 GB Philly in the NL WC
Fantasy football question:
After a few picks, would it be best to draft based on need or should I keep drafting who I think is the best player available, even if say, he's a RB and I already have 2/2 RB starters?
@Mr F - That depends on your willingness to trade. If you do have a surplus of top-tier RBs, you could potentially flip one for a better player that wouldn't be available, especially if the team is strapped at that position. I would recommend drafting the best possible for the first few rounds, then go by need.
can we have another baseball strike please? This season is boiling down to a dripping sack of shit. I might throw myself off a cliff if I have to watch the Giants, Phillies, Yankees, Padres, Reds and/or Braves playing meaningful games in September and October
I just realized I hate every other team in baseball
I don't hate the padres but if they don't start winning I might start.
@Fred's Brim nah, you only hate half of the NL and the Yankees.
I'd rather have the Padres on playoffs than the Giants
The National league is so fucked up all we needed was one decent 10 game strech to be in this thing.
That is how bad it has been for us.
The AG investigating the McCourts? Man how much more can happen.
AG?
State Attorney General. Investigating improper money transactions.
Should I draft a kicker? What about a backup QB?
I suppose I should draft a kicker, even if it's with the last pick.
haha, damn Nyjer Morgan got fucked up tonight
its nice to see the Pads losing so much. They need to get their shit together and keep the gints out of the playoffs though.
MR F, Yes you need a kicker. and a back up QB would probably be helpful in case your QB goes down for a stretch and because of bye weeks.
I drafted a kicker at the end. Then I dropped some scrub WR for Mark Sanchez. I don't know who the kicker and scrub WR are.
what the kickers name?
So the Dodgers aren't sellers, but Sellers is a Dodger?
Lawrence Tynes.
stealing material from TBLA, josh?
thats ok i steal material from Don Rickles.
Ya hockey puck!!
Tynes should be decent. Ive heard the wind in the new stadium might be worse than it was before but im sure you'll be fine.
Oh I just realized that everybody is on waivers right now. I canceled my claim on Mark Sanchez. Hopefully I can just pick him up on Monday. And hopefully Aaron Rodgers does okay.
Aaron Rodgers is probably the second best fantasy QB out there.
yeah, you will be more than happy with rodgers.
I didn't intend to steal from TBLA. It was a pretty obvious gag.
Ray Parker didn't intend to steal from Huey Lewis.
Parker stole from Lewis?
Thats news to me...
Mr F you shirked our fantasy league but got suckered into another, different one? We feel shunned! Was it something we said?
Yeah, it was in all likelihood something I said.
It sure was DB!
I actually do not like football very much, but my friend needed one more player for his league. So I reluctantly agreed. When the SoSG league formed, I figured since I was doing a league already, I could do another one. So I offered to join if you guys were in need of a spot, but it turns out you weren't. So I'm only in one league.
looks like all the young arms in the back of the SD bullpen are starting to tire out.
I love being right but they are collapsing too early. Dont let the gints take the division!!

DAMMIT
I could support the Padres in the post-season, but only if they hold off these Giants.
I need to go find my camo outfits (underneath my flannel shirts, I assume).
I don't hate Bud Black.
i still hate the pads, but i hate the gints more.
When my friends ask me who my most hated MLB team is, I say: "The Padres. The giants are beneath professional baseball."
I still can't get over the fact we have a better record at this point than in 2008.
God the Cubs suck.
