Game 135 Thread: September 3 vs. Giants, 7p

Chad Billingsley (10-8, 3.73) vs. Barry Zito (8-10, 4.07).

[Sax here.] Dodgers. Giants. Bills. Zito. We have nothing to play for, sitting eight games off the NL Wild Card pace, tied for fifth with a record barely above .500. They have everything to play for, sitting two games behind the WC-leading Phillies and trying to sneak into the postseason.

Three games against the arch-rival Giants, and all the pressure's on them. Let's go, boys!

I propose a Kemp for Car Go trade Karina. ;). I have Ned on speed dial.

Kyle Baker said...

One more HR and Pack of Cards will have as many as Karina's Son has had for us this season.

karina said...

@NicJ I feel irrational, unmeasurable, unconditional, ever-lasting love for King James and my son Russell (not in a romantic way, to quote KK)

I don't care what people say.

Paul said...

Oops that is Ned Rolleti my accountant.

NicJ said...

irrational is the key word there.

haha.

Do what makes you happy Karina.

Jimbo said...

Rolleti on the Rolodex

Jason said...

So many jokes in Vin's story about KFP.

Mom was mad when he signed with the Giants? Who would want to play there?

Ambidextrous? He can eat with both hands!

karina said...

@Jason I had to check MCC and they have a gif that is a kick on the testicles I don't have

pardon my french

Paul said...

Padres two run homerun. 4-3 rocks. Padres look a little too intense they are pressing.

Kyle Baker said...

I feel irrational, unmeasurable, unconditional, ever-lasting love for beer, Los Doyers, and this blog.

Jimbo said...

Tonight, I rediscovered this blog.

Jason said...

@Karina - Your french is not only excused, it is encouraged.

Kyle Baker said...

"a kick on the testicles I don't have"

Oh man. I need to hit the absinthe.

Kyle Baker said...

Rox 4-3 bottom of 7.

Jimbo said...

@ Dusty: Isn't absinthe illegal?!

karina said...

Look at these comments:

"Sexiest team ever. A Posey for every woman and man"

"A great looking one too!"

"I would name him Po

Po Posey.

you know, in the line of Whit Whiteside"

Kyle Baker said...

@ Dr Geek

That's never stopped me before!

NicJ said...

im amused to find out that "Pardon my French" is used in more that the USA.

i wonder what they say in france?

Kyle Baker said...

How could there be a Po and a Kung Fu Panda??? THey're the same character, MCC idiots.

I confirmed this reality with Mrs Dusty of DreamWorks Animation.

NicJ said...

i thought they just made a legalized form of absinth a few months back.

karina said...

@Jason I feel guilty anytime I use foul language :(

@Dusty Baker I think you forgot someone on your list.

NicJ said...

BOOOOOOOOOOO

Paul said...

I want a four way tie for the NL West.

Jimbo said...

@ Paul: Kinky.

karina said...

We have a winner, ladies and gents

"Dipsy Posey has a ring to it!"

another I'm tempted to reply:

"SUCK IT RUSSELL MARTIN"

he's not even playing *sighs*shakes head*

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

Yes, you're right. I left out Arkansas Razorback football.

MR.F said...

A three way is fine with me. Oh wait, you're talking about the NL West.

Fred's Brim said...

he never had control of that

Paul said...

We need to nail someone.

NicJ said...

yeah MCC has some crazy obsession with hating JMart. it would bother me if i didnt feel the same way about him.

Kidding, Karina.

Kyle Baker said...

@Paul

We need to hit a SF batsman, too.

Kyle Baker said...

Yes, Nic, a legal form of absinthe has been sold in the US for a few years now. Similar but not the same as the original banned version.

Jimbo said...

I like where this gamethread is headed.

Paul said...

Good idea Dusty.

Jimbo said...

Theriot!ksfksjfksjdf;!

Paul said...

The bottom of the 7th in San Diego is now a year old. Tracy is brilliant.

Josh S. said...

It's the 8th already? Where the hell have I been?

karina said...

quick game, Josh

Kyle Baker said...

I conceived, Mrs Dusty had the child, and it's now in college since the 7th started in San Diego. Where is Joe West when you need him?

Oh, in LA.

Paul said...

@Josh

you have been over on MOKM talking crap about us.

Paul said...

Game is moving along.

NicJ said...

@Paul, HA!

Josh S. said...

You know it, Paul.

Paul said...

I hope Andre is still injured. Otherwise I don't know why he has regressed.

Kyle Baker said...

Smack it up, Matty!

Josh S. said...

HOLY ASS THE HIT AND RUN WORKED

Paul said...

A well executed hit and run is probably my favorite play in baseball.

Paul said...

Heading to the bottom of the 8th, Rocks 4 Holy Asses 3.

Paul said...

Is Vinny 10 minutes behind on the scores?

Josh S. said...

Damn. Nothin' doin'.

Kyle Baker said...

My least favorite play in baseball: inability to get a run in with a man on 3B and 0 or 1 outs.

Paul said...

Yeah that or making the 3rd out at 3rd base.

karina said...

hit and run, well executed squeezes and bunts, stealing home and triple plays are the stuff dreams are made of.

karina said...

@Paul first and third out at third base, ugh

Paul said...

Come on let's Kuo!!

Kyle Baker said...

Indeed, I do dream about well-executed squeezes.

Fred's Brim said...

Shut 'em down, shut 'em shut 'em down!

Fred's Brim said...

can Pat Burrel hit a 2R homer here?

Paul said...

Strike this punk out!

NicJ said...

thank you for being old and slow Pat Burrell!!

NicJ said...

@FB, no broxton isnt pitching.

Paul said...

Uno mas.

Kyle Baker said...

What should we make, folks?

NicJ said...

LOLZITO!!

Paul said...

Wow these guys look like us when we are behind.

We make a big party!!!

Josh S. said...

YES!

Now let's not go and fuck up the next two.

Fred's Brim said...

to continue the recent theme, shove it up your ass, VaGiants!

Betsy said...

There's a pants in the party and you are invited! Woo woo

Kyle Baker said...

Represent, Betsy!

Kyle Baker said...

Pack of Cards on post-game interview.

Kyle Baker said...

I'm having a 3-way with Pack of Cards and Bills.

karina said...

karina said...

la cosquillita-Juan Luis Guerra

party music composed by a genius, to dance on a Friday night!

Kyle Baker said...

Mimosas for everyone! #Taiwan

Kyle Baker said...

I like your plan to have Genius pick a groove for us, Karina.

karina said...

you're driving me crazy with the Taiwan's references

karina said...

hahahahahahaha Dusty.

Juan Luis Guerra is the MAN.

Josh S. said...

We love Barajas,
Taiwan will touch your heart!

Kyle Baker said...

Zit-o 8-11

We popped that Zit!

Kyle Baker said...

Rox win. Pod Rays 8 game losing skid.

karina said...

what time is DodgerTalk?

NicJ said...

its usually half an hour after the end of the game karina.

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

Dodger Talk usually happens after a lot of commercials, then Steiner/Monday on other games around the league, then wrap-up of our game, then more commercials. So like what Nic said, ~30 mins.

NicJ said...

well said, DB.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I missed a thread with Dr. Geek?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Kyle Baker said...

Let's hang On - Frankie Valli

Paul said...

Padres are still playing no?

Paul said...

According to my calculations street v. Stairs.

Paul said...

The pest the padres last hope.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This is the part where boredom sets in.

Betsy said...

MSB of course got on base...grr..

@Karina - funny i was thinking the same thing!

Paul said...

Perfect Drug - Nine Inch Nails.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Rox beat Pods.

Kyle Baker said...

Dusty @ 9.47 re Rox was just utterly ignored. Paul, MLASF, what am I chopped liver? *slinks back to his dank den*

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

THE BOREDOM IS TOO INTENSE

Kyle Baker said...

@MLASF

We always have NFL fantasy league!

Paul said...

And for this afternoon

Hero - Enrique Iglesias.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I do enjoy posting pictures on the message board.

karina said...

@NicJ @Dusty thanks

@Betsy great minds girl:)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I think it's time to drop zombie Lenin. Just like the real Lenin, he ran his course, but it's time for him to step aside and let something newer and fresher take over.

Preferably less Stalin-ish.

Kyle Baker said...

@MLASF

Sounds like you're encouraging a state of permanent revolution.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

[insert joke about irony behind calling Betty White newer and fresher]

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

and a one, and a two, and a

BETTY WHITE IS THE FUTURE OF THIS ORGANIZATION

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

Speaking of Genius, why is it that my iTunes Genius has a Hard Bop and Post-Bop Mix as well as a BeBop Mix?

I note that these are in fact separate, distinct jazz styles but in the grand scheme of all my digital music seems to be kinda splitting hairs.

Kyle Baker said...

Someone on Dodger Talk talking positive things, Karina. Is this a relative of yours?

Kyle Baker said...

Official scorer for tonight's game calling into Dodger Talk.

Kyle Baker said...

All alone out here....it's so cold.

Nostradamus said...

Hey! We made party and I missed i!. Schadenfreude is good!

Jason said...

Apparently, the bat Furcal launched into the stands bounced off Frank McCourt's seat. Is there such a thing as a brush back bat?

MR.F said...

PLEASE MOTHERFUCKING PLEASE

Paul said...

"Turn on the radio naw fuck it turn it off"

opening night at the dog house tonight. Gettin the ammo ready (ammo = alcohol).

karina said...

I felt asleep listening to DodgerTalk

Kyle Baker said...

MOKM still bagging on us. To wit:

"the same five or six people whoring all game long"

Stay classy, Chad, stay classy.

Anonymous said...

So let me get this straight.

Make a mock Twitter to poke fun at me. Mock me throughout game threads. Call me names when I was mentioned on Dodger Talk. Etc.

That's "classy".

Then I make one comment because of the mess I just found yesterday, and that's enough for you to play the victim card? High comedy.

Kyle Baker said...

Actually I've done virtually none of that. I've noted in GTs when there were bouts of irony in what you have espoused and the reality and outcome of the games themselves, and when I was assuming you were probably banging your head on the proverbial desk.

I have no idea what you're talking about re DodgerTalk. I'm sure whatever mentioned you received there was deserved. Your insight is certainly better than most other folks who call in that show, without a doubt.

Anonymous said...

Well i'm not targeting you directly either. I don't believe I have singled out anybody here at any point. They just magically decided I am talking about them every single time I say something, which I suppose says it all.

It does strike me as ridiculous that I make a comment on my site poking fun and you're talking about class, but the people i'm talking about actually started a Twitter account dedicated to me. I mean in that case, you tell me who the insecure one is taking things too personally. Dunno.

Kyle Baker said...

I am highly insecure, for the record.

Anonymous said...

It's Greg's fault for pointing this out to me in the first place. I overtly resent him for this.

Kyle Baker said...

I resent Greg for his recent lack of overt criticism of Plaschke. Step it up, man! Once a day at least!

Kyle Baker said...

Halfway to 666!

rbnlaw said...

I see a good night's sleep did no one any good.

I am not alone.

Kyle Baker said...

@RBN

We are not alone.

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

I never sleep alone because Jimmy is the magnet.

You're so rope, they call you Mr. Roper.
