Hiroki Kuroda (10-11, 3.39) vs. Jonathan Sanchez (9-8, 3.54).
 |  |
[Sax here.] Once again, we've got the Giants, playoff-hungry, and the Dodgers, playing the spoiler. Last night's ninth-inning blown save by Jonathan Broxton solidified that the home team has no heart and may secretly want the Giants to prosper after all. Right?
(By the way, apologies for the light posting this weekend. Iam proud to say I just picked off my 24th current MLB stadium, though I couldn't stay for the whole game. But it was still pretty cool. Anyway, I'm out of town this weekend...our offices have only a skeleton crew this holiday weekend!)

Sax- Too soon.
RT @DodgertownUSA: #Dodgers will call up John Ely, Chin-lung Hu, John Lindsey, Jon Link & Russ Mitchell tomorrow at SD
IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME FOR ALL OF THEM
except Hu. He's meh.
PLEASE WIN THIS FUCKING GAME
Hey, John fucking Lindsey!!
It's quiet.
Too quiet...
IT'S TOO FUCKING QUIET GUYS!!!!
Damn you people who have better things to do besides work on the Sunday afternoon of a 3-day weekend.
I'd post a little more but I don't want to whore the GT.
MR. LASF, you make it sound like whoring is a bad thing.
I'm just a thread whore, turning tricks for the occasional laugh.
Or are they illusions?
WIN TODAY!!!!
then lose the next three please.
Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen
Please baseball gods give the Dodgers the mojo tonite
The game hasn't started yet and I'm already pissed off about Joe freaking Morgan
Seat belts on everyone...Here we go
SUCK IT TORRES!!!!
MUTE BUTTON PEOPLE!!!!
THRED HORE 4 LYFE
Nice, smooth start for Kuroda
I hate ESPN for their announcers, but they always have such beautiful shots of the Ravine.
The corpse of Aubrey Huff is slowly dying.
I have no sound at the bar. Has Morgan mentioned the shadows yet? I wonder how they blocked the shadows during all those games back in Joe's day.
F. Joe Morgan. (that's now is legal name)
Why does (the non-SoSG) Orel always look so angry when he talks? His voice is calm, but his face looks like he's barking.

YES WE GET IT JON MILLER THERE ARE SHADOWS
@ MrLASF - The Giants keep a necromancer on staff dating back to the Bonds days. Wasn't the average age of Barry's supporting cast like 136?
odd how similar that inning went.
SF - Strike out swinging, acquired from cubs middle infielder grounded out to short, pop out.
LA - Strike out looking, acquired from cubs middle infielder grounded to short, k swinging.
stupid dre ruined it.
@Jason - That would explain both Huff and Burrell.
i hate stupid burrell more than the artsy episodes of MASH.
(ex. POV)
I hate it when Dre ruins the symmetry.
How I loathe you, Posey.
Posey sure looks a lot like the kid that played Napolean Dynamite.
YES ESPN PRAISE THE MAN LET GO BY THE LAST PLACE ROYALS
I dont see how it is fair that we have to listen to the giants home announcer
Yup, slow motion effect is working. Sheesh
FUCKING FATTY
Preemptive insult.
here comes the DP.
DON'T LISTEN, NICJ
Morgan's criticizing Tubs. Can he do that? It doesn't violate his contract or anything?
BULLLLLLLLSHIITTTTTTT
The Giants outfitted one of the sea lions from pier 39 and had him hit a sc fly! Looks like they have a circus trainer in addition to a necromancer on staff.
game over.
Epale everyone!
Surly factor:
got fever at 2 am +10
couldn't sleep 'till 9 am +10
finding out last night's loss +10

hanging around here -8
surly factor 9
Surly factor=5
But there's no football until Thursday, Karina.
karina, want a fantasy football tip?
I'm sure it was the shadows that held up Ethier's throw. Right, Joe?
I expect symmetry in the bottom of the 2nd.
Uh, I hate to rain on your parade, Jon, but you really want to know why Andre's throw didn't get Buster?
BECAUSE HE WASN'T CLOSE ENOUGH
dumbass
Epale, Karina!!
MUTE BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Mr LASF exactly.I think I need to do some changes
@NicJ absolutely
thanks both!
drop your kicker novak and pick up jay feely.
Novak is a backup kicker and wont get you any points.
Bison hits .190 since August 3rd.Who cares? that's an old fashioned stat
jay feely isnt great but he will get you more than novak will.
hit the batter and the ump.
charge the mound, King James!
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I'd also keep a close look on Vincent Jackson. I don't think he'll see any gametime this season.
Morgan is such a know it all
I know, Mr. F.....MUTE BUTTON
From the All-Star Break though yesterday, Kemp and Pierre have the exact same SLG% of .376.
Getting better Karen! But you forgot the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the chargers are looking in to trading him.
might be a steal if he gets on another team.
^through
WHERE IS MY DAMN SYMMETRY?!?!?
Even if he's traded, he still misses the first three games of the season, and potentially more.
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
@Josh, you better have a graph and/or GIF showing that is true or you may get yelled at.
Oh shut up Miller; the season's over so don't act like we were crushed yesterday.
MUTE BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!
Crushed? Obviously Miller wasnt reading last nights GT because we all saw that coming.
@Nic @Josh - I'm going to mockingly deride your comments because I can.
Jason, your constant references to necromancy remind me of some comments I read on MCC, it was something like this:
f*%# Vin Scully
if that's your thing!
necrophiliac
I wanted to track and hunt them down and of course, LOTS OF BLOOD
Okay I admit it. I am still kind of watching the Dodgers.
Dodgers record when we have a fantasy draft. 1-0.
Le sigh.
Dammit. Their voodoo witchcraft still has some effect.
I want to see the slow mo on someone eating a Dodger dog.
Yeah yeah yeah Joseph we know you are smart.
UNNECESSARY HIGHLIGHT IS UNNECESSARY
the next highlight will be of Miller cutting in front of Vin in the press box ice cream line and getting the last scoop.
Giants fans were dicks to me then. I was five years old. Still it made me hate the giants at a very early age. Very healthy for a young kid.
Hehe, Candy Maldonado said the rivalry is better lived in SF (in his playing days) because Giants fans are more dedicated to it.
Yeah, because we NEVER EVER would wear any Giants merchandise to mock them.
*I did wear a Giants cap once but it was an extreme situation
They showed that highlight the last time we played the gnats on espn
Let's see some Dodger kicking giant ass highlights
Okay now show Matt Williams crying like a baby in 1993 please.
WE WANT STEVE FINLEY DAMMIT
and I'm out.
MS FUCKING B
OT2OT
San Francisco: where owning more memorabilia with the word "Dodgers" on it than the word "Giants" means you're a true Giants fan.
@Paul I bet you were a smart and engaging kid.
the dodgers better bring this kind of crappy play with them to san diego.
I hate Joe Morgan
Morgan is such an ass he even elicits the "h" word from our sweet Karina
Karina,
Your hate will make you powerful!
@karen most of the time I'm a lover but I can't really stand him
@Mr F I know what you're trying to do. I'm a Jedi, so tough, that I even survived Order 66 ;)
Thanks Karina. All I know is I had two dodger jackets each specifically designated for either road games or home games. If I took the wrong one it meant a sure loss for the team.
Sick with Dodger love even back then.
Oh Karina, I love how you get those silly Star Wars references.
there was a time when that ball that andre just hit would have been in the seats.
@Paul
I had a similar experience when I was a little kid with frisco fans. My brother and I had our Dodger gear on and got beer thrown at us.
Dusty not up in dis bish.
#Golf
#Dinner
Pshah. Golf.
@Paul wow! I'm speechless!
@Mr F we share more than a Dodgers obsession
@karen that's one proof the Giants fans are MEAN.How can someone throw beer at some kids?
This game is winnable, but we will have to score first.
--Billy Packer
Shadows shadows shadows.
now we get a divorce update.
why does ESPN hate us so?
@NicJ,
We're not just west coasters. We were originally east coasters. They've never forgiven us.
maybe if we start calling ourselves "The Brooklyn Dodgers of Los Angeles"
It's Barajas birthday. Win for him!
Come on Hiroki. Win it yourself.
@NicJ that's the star comment from the week
@Karen
yeah gotta love those classy giant fans.
Okay can we have a big inning please? Just this once.
Hey, everybody! Am I back in time for the bullpen meltdown?
@Mr C if you call them, they will come :(
defensive sub with a 1-0 lead?
whatever.
@karina
They come when I don't call, too.
Dre for Rasmus!
PLEASE DON'T K KEMP
@Mr C exactly! we don't want to make it any worse :(
Kemp needs to get Jobu some more rum so he can hit the breaking ball.
#UgliestSwingEver
maybe it would serve us better if the dodgers just forfeit the rest of the season and rest up for next year.
I got fever again and my head is gonna explode :(
How the hell was this team supposed to win anything with its two top hitters looking so bad at the plate more often than not?
Karina needs more cowbell.
I want - no, I demand - that Accuscore (or Chad from MOKM) run the numbers to see where the Dodgers would be if GAARP never made the roster. He had to be worth a half dozen losses. Replace him with Jay Gibbons (or an actual corpse) and the Padres and their 10 game losing streak is well within reach. I need to switch to hard liquor...
seriously?
lets go padres!!
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK
Juan Uribe looks like Ken Griffey Jr. after he caught his case of gigantism on The Simpsons.
I'm just saying.
i imagine that this next series with the padres will probably be unwatchable.
THERIOOOOOH!!
I know this is late but was that one of the worst, most unintelligent ABs by Kemp you've ever seen? He swung at a ball that was already in the dirt!
I'm questioning our mettle here.
@Sax Dodgers' mettle or our mettle?
its getting harder and harder to not want to blow up this team.
FUCKKKKKKKKKK
THIS IS TORTURE
WORK
REPETITIVE STRESS INJURIES
DODGERS LOSING
GIANTS WINNING
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'm questioning our luber here...
^ lumber. Damn phone keyboard.
they are playing like they dont even care.
(cries)
I'M questioning our luber. The chafing is really getting to me.
http://bit.ly/aPljpH
Good armpit luber is hard to find.
Kuroda is too good for this team
#sufferinglikePrecious
Poor Lindsey finally makes it to the bigs and its with a bunch of losers.
(cries)
What is with the crusty patch on KFP's knee? Maybe he needs a better luber, too?
Remember the days when knowing the Dodgers' 2 - 3 - 4 hitters were due up was cause for optimism?
Me neither.
what do you mean with luber?
Remember when we feasted on Brian Wilson's blown games?
On tv, they are saying Wilson is preparing himself for the playoffs
Ye gods, I've gone and mentioned something dirty that I dread having to explain again…
Fontenot :(
(cries)
@karina - Luber in this context refers to a person responsible for applying lubricant. This is a job that is not desirable in certain industries.
here hoping the dodgers losing streak goes five games long.
(raises glass)
I'm questioning our mettle here.
(cries)
Man, we suck.
And not in the just-saying-so-for-dramatic-effect way.
Journey - Who's Crying Now
I agree with Nic. We need to maintain this premium level of play for the Pod Ray series. I never thought I'd say such a thing but my hate for the gnats is far more than my hate for the Pods
(torture post)
the way the season is going you just know we are going to sweep the pads.
I know what you mean, NicJ. I can feel it, too.
(cries)
HEY! with that loss we are in the final spot for the last protected pick.
Well went to buy my Sam Adams harvest mix and woodchuck draft cider.
Harvest starts tomorrow. Fall can't get here soon enough.
An X-files episode later, my sanity is slightly restored...
el montanero said "all that goodwill from bark in the park...gone!"
Funny shit, man!
@Jason oh,oh...thank you very much!
@Mr C I thanks to you!
I still don't quit.
I think I got sick in a appropriate time, it's not too bad to be half sedated
i want to be sedated
We can't even spoil right.
Throw it all away - Toad the Wet Sprocket.
Finally we suck well enough that it can actually pay off.
Humpin Around - Bobby Brown
Woohoo we're slightly worse than Florida! Now if we sign Cliff Lee we don't have to sacrifice a first-round pick!
(returns to fetal position)
I Wanna Be Sedated - Ramones
When you take a step back and look at this season, you see that we got a perfect storm of:
-Lack of rotation depth early on
-A punchless bench
-Bullpen awfulness almost all season
-Nearly season-long slumps from the top two offensive weapons
-A series of DL stints (some multiple)
-Trades that didn't necessarily make the team better (and one that made the bullpen worse)
-A manager on the verge of retirement
-A front office that all of sudden realized they were still mad at Manny for a year-old transgression, so they gave him away
-And a DIVORCE!
It's a fucking miracle the team is over .500.
just wait a week josh, we will dip below sea level.
We may not be over .500 tomorrow.
It huuuuuuuuuurts! Please make it go away!
*hits morphine drip button*
FUCK YOU HAVE A MORPHINE DRIP? I WANTTTTTT
Just checking to see if the same 4 or 5 people were whoring around.
Minus me, I guess it would be 3-4.
Monkey Wrench
-The Foo Fighters
MIA
-The Foo Fighters
I kept my whoring to a minimum.
Ha!
I was drinking and eating at my MIL's all day, well most of the day, so I guess I was whoring in a different way.
Free food and drink for just visiting? Good kind of whoring.
Stoopid me. I missed the "my" part. I should rectify this with random numbers.
Ryan Theriot has a break-even UZR of 0.0 at 2B this year.
Woo, that's better.
So, what now? Best case scenario is sweeping the Pods while the DBacks (who know how to properly play spoiler) sweep the Gnats?
Oh, sweet lord, why am I still trying to figure out scenarios?
WHOREWHOREWHORE
Best case for what?
Best case for the Giants not making the playoffs, I suppose. There is no more best case for the Dodgers.
200
IN ITALIA, THIS MEANS-A WHORE
Don't be silly, the language of whoring is universal.
So here we go head to San Diego the same way a corpse heads to a coffin.
