Carlos Monasterios (3-5, 4.02) vs. Wade LeBlanc (8-12, 4.15) wait wait I mean Vicente Padilla (6-4, 3.96) vs. Tim Stauffer (3-3, 1.68).

@MLASF
Cthulumas, you say?
haha, karina.
LOL
@DB - I understand about overreacting. Sometimes my German/Mexican genes get the best of me. Do you remember your recent advice to me? Hit the Xanax and go easy on the wine. I suggest you do the same. Off to Xanadu my friend!
@Dusty Baker I've learned a LOT here.
Lookit Karina
I like Mr C's better. Pimping the Greek.
MDIL: You never know what's going to happen in a game, unless they put Broxton in.
===
Wise, wise words.
We officially have more comments during the game than in the pre-game. Well done, people.
Woops, I was thinking of Chthonian. That's Greek.
Cthulhu is Greek? Somehow, it all makes sense.
sherrill is hitting his stride just in time for the post season.
Oh no, not Dotel. This bullpen is just one horror after another
"Venable went to Princeton... and gets a college education from Sherrill on that breaking ball."
1) Vin is so good.
2) Somehow Sherrill got the guy out.
@MB
It's easy for me to go easy on the wine since I friggin' SPILLED IT!
See, there, now I'm getting fired up again.
My English/German roots mean my reaction to things is to get hammered then invade Poland.
Yo quiero mas Cthulu.
Hey look, it's Go-t'hell.
Yo quiero mas Glenmorangie...it makes our bullpen more tolerable.
@db
I was think Chrismas, just…fishier. And evil.
I didn't realize there was a concoction invented that would make our bullpen more tolerable.
Did Dotel actually strike someone out?
First!
Dodgers, this is winnable.
Should have broke out the concoction at the beginning of the season MB
Hell yeah, MB!
*consults the liquor cabinet for evidence of Glenmorangie*
@Spank - some things are better late than never.
Am I the only one who wants to see a POD RAY sprawled across the batters box from a beaning
@spanky
Hell and no.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Spilled wine???!!!!
God Dusty please tell me it was boxed wine or someThing
with a kangaroo on it or I might get pissed off as well.
You are not alone, Spanky.
To Mr. C, Spank, DB et al -
Glenmorangie to all and to hell with the others...let them eat cake or drink Goldschlager!
No Fucking Way!
I honestly did not see that one coming.
@Paul
It was ~mid-level stuff. Block 45 pinot noir. Hurts me most because of the 45 tie-in.
Gotta love my boy Scotty P...bag on him all you want but he is my homeboy!
Raises Glenmorangie in salute.
Extremely cool Dodger fans in camera range behind home plate.
@MB
We haven't really bagged on Pods much here, have we? I don't have much if any negative to say. He's done what we expected of him and probably even more. He ain't Manny, but we did not expect him to be. I appreciate his every day hustle. Wish everyone were like that. *cough, Kemp, cough*
@Paul what's wrong with Aussie wine? my hommie Oejtlen is going to get pissed.
I haven't had that i believe they have a solid petite sirah that makes your mouth look like Manny's after a game.
@DB - you have one of the more supportive voices. But that's ok, everyone is entitled to their opinion and I totally respect it. At the end of the day it is about tolerance and acceptance.
Scotty Pods' HR does indeed make this interesting.
dammit james, that would have been great
at least it wasn't a gidp though
Come on, Cleanup Barbie!
Vin said "Eckstein's on the rim."
@DB 9:09p: that's a good pinot noir. Here's a good review.
I'll take the walk.
Okay Ethier this is your chance to have me stop bagging on your sorry ass. Do something Mr.Clutch
@Dusty, @Anyone: what was the nickname incident?
@Sax
That's exactly where I got the wine, too (Whole Foods).
Agree with the review re value. Pinot noir prices are mostly ridiculous so it's good to find one at a moderate price that's still solidly drinkable.
@Karina
I love me some Aussie sheeeeeraz. Just not Yellow tail.
@Saxy - So you like the Pinot Noir...had some Heitz Cabernet with a nice filet and have followed it with Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. Are you up for a drink with me?
@Sax
Urban Dictionary has a rather interesting definition of "neebs."
why does Ethier look overmatched by this clown?
Northern Coast Zins are getting up there as well.
Ah, bollocks.
Lame
Stupid Dodgers.
My god, was that a terrible AB for Andre. Are he and Kemp in a shitty AB contest?
Looks like Torre agrees with Sax re hoping the Dodgers lose in order to block the Jints. Broxton in.
i must admit that it isnt easy rooting against the dodgers.
GO PADRES!!!
Boys and girls, you really know your alcoholic beverages.
you can always count on broxton.
BEAT LA!!
@Dusty, I'm a K&L man myself
@MeanieBreanie, you know I'll have a drink with you anytime
@karina
Practice makes perfect.
@Dusty: $14 for a decent pinot noir ain't bad
Just don't feed the couch the pinot.
Okay, too soon, again. I know.
Denorfia is from Connecticut? Wonder if he knows Ken Kaniff?
#Eminem
holy smokes, urban dictionary strikes again
meanwhile andre ethier strikes out again
@Mr C hahahahahahaha
@Steve Sax don't monopolize Meanibreanie ;). I really really want to get utterly wasted with her
i love that SDMSB comes out the the DX theme music.
i'm drinking beer tonight, boys.
Did a 3-mile run--pushing a two-kid jogging stroller--and a 4-mile bike ride this morning (toting another kid behind in a Burley). I deserve it.
@Saxy, Karina
Not to worry about MB. This girl was born to party! She may be a MSB but she can hang with the best of them.
@Steve Sax you deserve an ovation because you worked out a lot on a holiday.
Damn Saxy, I haven't ran 3 miles since...........ever.
I walked down to the restaurant and back (about 6 blocks each way) to have ribeye tacos and margaritas. Does that count as a workout?
This little runt is still batting
remember when kemp had a good arm?
wait, i missed it. Broxton gave up another big run?
What a surprise.
It had to be Eckstein, with a sacrifice fly
*sigh*
How is it even fair to let SDMSB bat against Brox? Didn't they put minimum height requirements in after Eddie Gaedel?
BEAT LA
It will probably take the offseason to reset Broxton.
501
DAMMIT
@Spank
That Eckstein is a cunning little runt, isn't he?
@dusty 9:36p: It depends. Were they good margaritas?
And in all seriousness, sorry about your couch. You should submit the bill to Jamie McCourt and tell her you can't live like this.
@Dusty 9:38p. I don't know if Eckstein knows any other languages, but I do hear he's a cunning linguist.
"You should submit the bill to Jamie McCourt and tell her you can't live like this."
Known as pulling a Frank.
I read it as:
That Eckstein is a running little cunt, isn't he?
Doubt it- Broxton has been broken since 2008 vs. Matt Stairs.
@Spanky =
Talk about runts. I met your real life namesake George McFarland aka Spanky of Little Rascals. At 5'1" I towered over him. He was the nicest of men but shockingly short. He lived in a suburb of Dallas and we met at charity golf tournament. He died two weeks later. Somehow I seem to have that effect on men : )
MR F, isnt that an alternate definition for a neebs?
alright im done.
Maybe it's the Glenmorangie talking but I would like to meet a cunning linguist : )
Really? He was broken in the midst of two All Star seasons?
at least Kemp might make top plays on that one.
@Sax
They actually were very good margaritas. Mrs Dusty watched a CBS This Sunday Morning piece about tequila, so she decided we should have some really good margaritas afterward. After little to no hesitation, I agreed. We had some that were made with Patron Reposada, fresh squeezed lime juice, Cadillac style, on the rocks. Sweet, sweet nectar.
@ MB
Stay away from this one. HaHa
Jeebus fucking Christopher,
I have people over, cook up some carne asada, drink a bunch of beer, and you bunch put up over 500 comments?
And the Dodgers squander more opportunities than a frat boy at a sorority rush?
are we seeing every other god damn pinch hitter besides Lindsay tonight?
Oh Snap! I didn't read that last comment by MB
Okay everyone quiet. Johnson's Up!
Sure, Joe pulls Ausmus now.
I should hang with Mrs. Dusty more often.
I loved Spanky and the rest of the gang. That was some funny shit, especially if you like coked-up little kids being filmed doing goofy stuff.
yeah i just noticed that one too. haha.
@RBN
Approximately three comments are actually relevant to the game.
or meaniebreenie. I can linguist with the best of them.
Wait, MB killed Spanky? Little Rascal killer! *points*
A lot of those poor kids ended up living tragic, shitty lives (Alfalfa especially).
DB,
I'm not going back to find those comments.
Nancy Bea didn't stop by did she? She doesn't like my sarcasm.
I miss Darla Hood.
it appears gonzo has figured out the shift.
@RB - yeah, you may linguist with the best of them but you are married. I don't venture down that path, at least intentionally. The last one lied to me. I don't understand why men do that. Oh well, that's another story.
Alfalfa did not deserve to go out the way he did. Getting pummeled to death by Moe.
Can I get Spanked?
Or is that offer off the table now?
As far as little rascals Buckwheat ruled!
Why the fuck am I having conflicting edits at 10 o'clock on a school night.
MB,
No worries. My wife appreciates my linguistic skills.
and my linguine.
I appreciate you for knowing I am married.
Petey was the shiznit
and stairs comes out to stone cold's intro. whats with this team and wrestling themes?
@Spanky
You still wish to be spanked despite the fact I no longer have to kill you? I will oblige, especially if you have been a very naughty boy.
Oh gawd, the Glenmorangie is really speaking!
errybuddy in da blog gettin' tipsy.
plunk Stairs for the love of God!
Jansen Struck out the side.
were they playing hells bells for heath bell?
Ok my sweet boys in blue, it's time to show them what you've got.
Hell yeah, Nic. I'm glad you went there with that quote.
Run for the border. It's Taco Bell time.
Still a winnable game.
For some reason I want a gordita now.
Just to make sure I need to ask Karina " Can we still win this"?
There it is even before I asked
BEAT LA
So, who else has been drinking since 2:00 today?
*raises hand*
I do appreciate a woman who's been drinking Scotch.
This thread is going straight to hell.
And I like it.
Gotta love Nic J's spunk
Fuck the gordita. Go yard, Gibby.
Waning Gibbons
Damn you Jay!!! Breaking ball blues.
Or get Kemped. Nice one, Gibby.
What's a gordita?
@rbnlaw how about the women who don't drink scotch?
thanks for the mental picture of heath bell in rollerblades, VIn.
Is it too much to ask Ipod to hit another one
@RBN re 2PM
Not me.
I started in around noon.
@Mr. C:
Is it because I finally showed up?
DB,
you da man. I'd love some margaritas about now.
karina,
Martinis will do.
@Karina
The gordita is a food item offered by Taco Bell, whose executives apparently never got the idea to check to see what meaning the name may have in Spanish.
BEAT LA
One more out and we crash party!!!
@rbnlaw
You are the straw that stirs the drink, my friend.
Fuck. We're going to break their streak.
Fuck.
i would be really pissed right now if i wasnt rooting against the giants at the moment.
I got turned down by a gordita earlier. No Game
Mr.C,
this straw is feeling surly.
SUCK IT GINTS!!!!!!

@rbnlaw
How can one be truly surly in someplace with this much innuendo?
Bell Bottom Blues- Clapton.
Oh wait I already picked Sophie B Hawkins.
I still hate Taco's histrionics.
Dusty, you beat me with the song.
@rbnlaw that's how I roll!
@Dusty Baker let me tell you, I won't EVER eat something that is called "gordita". EVER, knowing Taco Bell doesn't offer healthy and/or food for the conscious eaters. No matter if I'm hungry enough to eat for two.
I never liked Taco Bell, anyway
Red Hook Rope Swing? Pilsner?
Must find.
Ahhhhh....Leyna Nguyen. You've got the cure for my Blues. #weekendnewscastchick
Wait, rbnlaw is married?
Aw, man...
This is the strangest GT yet. I definitely feel like I'm in a pub with you guys.
It really is like a pub...you get all sorts of cross talk and crazy tangents.
look what you've done to me-Al Green
Mr. C,
The innuendo is spectacular.
I'm also a little too drunk to be surly. Hungover? sure.
Let It Down-George Harrison
It's more thread, and less game.

You guys rock.
Sax,
It's a marriage of convenience. Especially with 4 kids. Plu, she knows what I drink.
Thanks for keeping me company!
"Devil Horns"
stupid sandy eggo. :P i refuse to feel good even if the jints are still in 2nd. i hate the madres.
cripes! there's 600 comments on this thread!
Can you imagine if we (Dodgers) were actually doing well? We would kill Blogger. Oh, wait...
The National - Bitters & Absolut
Two 600 comment threads in a weeks time. Must be a record for this lot
Stupid "s" key on my laptop.
We're just whoring ourselves, Spanky.
Lot's o' talkin; not much baseball.
Sort of like the MCC.
"she knows what I drink"
rbnlaw, you've given me an idea what to look in a man when and if I decide to leave singlehood
WHOREWHOREWHOREWHORE
Hey! We're at least way more sophisticated than MCC.... those neebs.
"singlehood"
That's just down the street from Mannywood, right?
karina,
We know too much about each other to ever be with anyone else. It' what marriage should be.
Gotta go over and water my parents plants before they die. Procastination is a motherfucker.
Auf Wiedersehen FOOLS!
I'm jealous, rbnlaw.
Side job for RBN: marriage counselor for Frank and Jamie.
Cheers, Spank. Hope the old man is on the mend.
