Nostradamus said...

@MLASF

Cthulumas, you say?

NicJ said...

haha, karina.

MR.F said...

LOL

MeanieBreanie said...

@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!

karina said...

@Dusty Baker I've learned a LOT here.

spank said...

Lookit Karina

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I like Mr C's better. Pimping the Greek.

Kyle Baker said...

MDIL: You never know what's going to happen in a game, unless they put Broxton in.
===
Wise, wise words.

Nostradamus said...

We officially have more comments during the game than in the pre-game. Well done, people.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Woops, I was thinking of Chthonian. That's Greek.

Nostradamus said...

Cthulhu is Greek? Somehow, it all makes sense.

NicJ said...

sherrill is hitting his stride just in time for the post season.

karen said...

Oh no, not Dotel. This bullpen is just one horror after another

MR.F said...

"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.

Kyle Baker said...

@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.

Kyle Baker said...

Yo quiero mas Cthulu.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hey look, it's Go-t'hell.

MeanieBreanie said...

Yo quiero mas Glenmorangie...it makes our bullpen more tolerable.

Nostradamus said...

@db

I was think Chrismas, just…fishier. And evil.

Kyle Baker said...

I didn't realize there was a concoction invented that would make our bullpen more tolerable.

Kyle Baker said...

Did Dotel actually strike someone out?

First!

karina said...

Dodgers, this is winnable.

spank said...

Should have broke out the concoction at the beginning of the season MB

Nostradamus said...

Hell yeah, MB!

*consults the liquor cabinet for evidence of Glenmorangie*

MeanieBreanie said...

@Spank - some things are better late than never.

spank said...

Am I the only one who wants to see a POD RAY sprawled across the batters box from a beaning

Nostradamus said...

@spanky

Hell and no.

MR.F said...

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Paul said...

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.

Kyle Baker said...

You are not alone, Spanky.

MeanieBreanie said...

To Mr. C, Spank, DB et al -
Glenmorangie to all and to hell with the others...let them eat cake or drink Goldschlager!

spank said...

No Fucking Way!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I honestly did not see that one coming.

Kyle Baker said...

@Paul

It was ~mid-level stuff. Block 45 pinot noir. Hurts me most because of the 45 tie-in.

MeanieBreanie said...

Gotta love my boy Scotty P...bag on him all you want but he is my homeboy!

Raises Glenmorangie in salute.

Kyle Baker said...

Extremely cool Dodger fans in camera range behind home plate.

Kyle Baker said...

@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*

karina said...

@Paul what's wrong with Aussie wine? my hommie Oejtlen is going to get pissed.

Paul said...

I haven't had that i believe they have a solid petite sirah that makes your mouth look like Manny's after a game.

MeanieBreanie said...

@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.

Steve Sax said...

Scotty Pods' HR does indeed make this interesting.

Steve Sax said...

dammit james, that would have been great

at least it wasn't a gidp though

Kyle Baker said...

Come on, Cleanup Barbie!

Kyle Baker said...

Vin said "Eckstein's on the rim."

Steve Sax said...

@DB 9:09p: that's a good pinot noir. Here's a good review.

karina said...

I'll take the walk.

spank said...

Okay Ethier this is your chance to have me stop bagging on your sorry ass. Do something Mr.Clutch

Steve Sax said...

@Dusty, @Anyone: what was the nickname incident?

Kyle Baker said...

@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.

Paul said...

@Karina

I love me some Aussie sheeeeeraz. Just not Yellow tail.

MeanieBreanie said...

@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?

Kyle Baker said...

@Sax

Urban Dictionary has a rather interesting definition of "neebs."

Steve Sax said...

why does Ethier look overmatched by this clown?

Paul said...

Northern Coast Zins are getting up there as well.

Nostradamus said...

Ah, bollocks.

spank said...

Lame

Paul said...

Stupid Dodgers.

Kyle Baker said...

My god, was that a terrible AB for Andre. Are he and Kemp in a shitty AB contest?

Kyle Baker said...

Looks like Torre agrees with Sax re hoping the Dodgers lose in order to block the Jints. Broxton in.

NicJ said...

i must admit that it isnt easy rooting against the dodgers.

GO PADRES!!!

karina said...

Boys and girls, you really know your alcoholic beverages.

NicJ said...

you can always count on broxton.

BEAT LA!!

Steve Sax said...

@Dusty, I'm a K&L man myself

@MeanieBreanie, you know I'll have a drink with you anytime

Nostradamus said...

@karina

Practice makes perfect.

Steve Sax said...

@Dusty: $14 for a decent pinot noir ain't bad

Steve Sax said...

Just don't feed the couch the pinot.

Okay, too soon, again. I know.

Kyle Baker said...

Denorfia is from Connecticut? Wonder if he knows Ken Kaniff?

#Eminem

Steve Sax said...

holy smokes, urban dictionary strikes again

Steve Sax said...

meanwhile andre ethier strikes out again

karina said...

@Mr C hahahahahahaha

@Steve Sax don't monopolize Meanibreanie ;). I really really want to get utterly wasted with her

NicJ said...

i love that SDMSB comes out the the DX theme music.

Steve Sax said...

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.

MeanieBreanie said...

@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.

karina said...

@Steve Sax you deserve an ovation because you worked out a lot on a holiday.

spank said...

Damn Saxy, I haven't ran 3 miles since...........ever.

Kyle Baker said...

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?

spank said...

This little runt is still batting

NicJ said...

remember when kemp had a good arm?

Steve Sax said...

wait, i missed it. Broxton gave up another big run?

What a surprise.

karina said...

It had to be Eckstein, with a sacrifice fly

*sigh*

Kyle Baker said...

How is it even fair to let SDMSB bat against Brox? Didn't they put minimum height requirements in after Eddie Gaedel?

NicJ said...

BEAT LA

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It will probably take the offseason to reset Broxton.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

501

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

DAMMIT

Kyle Baker said...

@Spank

That Eckstein is a cunning little runt, isn't he?

Steve Sax said...

@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.

Steve Sax said...

@Dusty 9:38p. I don't know if Eckstein knows any other languages, but I do hear he's a cunning linguist.

Kyle Baker said...

"You should submit the bill to Jamie McCourt and tell her you can't live like this."

Known as pulling a Frank.

MR.F said...

I read it as:

That Eckstein is a running little cunt, isn't he?

Eric the Ice King said...

Doubt it- Broxton has been broken since 2008 vs. Matt Stairs.

MeanieBreanie said...

@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 : )

NicJ said...

MR F, isnt that an alternate definition for a neebs?


alright im done.

MeanieBreanie said...

Maybe it's the Glenmorangie talking but I would like to meet a cunning linguist : )

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Really? He was broken in the midst of two All Star seasons?

NicJ said...

at least Kemp might make top plays on that one.

Kyle Baker said...

@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.

spank said...

@ MB

Stay away from this one. HaHa

rbnlaw said...

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?

NicJ said...

are we seeing every other god damn pinch hitter besides Lindsay tonight?

spank said...

Oh Snap! I didn't read that last comment by MB

spank said...

Okay everyone quiet. Johnson's Up!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Sure, Joe pulls Ausmus now.

rbnlaw said...

I should hang with Mrs. Dusty more often.

Kyle Baker said...

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.

NicJ said...

yeah i just noticed that one too. haha.

Kyle Baker said...

@RBN

Approximately three comments are actually relevant to the game.

rbnlaw said...

or meaniebreenie. I can linguist with the best of them.

Kyle Baker said...

Wait, MB killed Spanky? Little Rascal killer! *points*

A lot of those poor kids ended up living tragic, shitty lives (Alfalfa especially).

rbnlaw said...

DB,
I'm not going back to find those comments.

Nancy Bea didn't stop by did she? She doesn't like my sarcasm.

rbnlaw said...

I miss Darla Hood.

NicJ said...

it appears gonzo has figured out the shift.

MeanieBreanie said...

@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.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Alfalfa did not deserve to go out the way he did. Getting pummeled to death by Moe.

spank said...

Can I get Spanked?

Or is that offer off the table now?

MeanieBreanie said...

As far as little rascals Buckwheat ruled!

spank said...

Why the fuck am I having conflicting edits at 10 o'clock on a school night.

rbnlaw said...

MB,
No worries. My wife appreciates my linguistic skills.

and my linguine.

I appreciate you for knowing I am married.

spank said...

Petey was the shiznit

NicJ said...

and stairs comes out to stone cold's intro. whats with this team and wrestling themes?

MeanieBreanie said...

@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!

NicJ said...

errybuddy in da blog gettin' tipsy.

karina said...

plunk Stairs for the love of God!

spank said...

Jansen Struck out the side.

NicJ said...

were they playing hells bells for heath bell?

MeanieBreanie said...

Ok my sweet boys in blue, it's time to show them what you've got.

Kyle Baker said...

Hell yeah, Nic. I'm glad you went there with that quote.

rbnlaw said...

Run for the border. It's Taco Bell time.

karina said...

Still a winnable game.

Kyle Baker said...

For some reason I want a gordita now.

spank said...

Just to make sure I need to ask Karina " Can we still win this"?

spank said...

There it is even before I asked

NicJ said...

BEAT LA

rbnlaw said...

So, who else has been drinking since 2:00 today?
*raises hand*

I do appreciate a woman who's been drinking Scotch.

Nostradamus said...

This thread is going straight to hell.

And I like it.

spank said...

Gotta love Nic J's spunk

rbnlaw said...

Fuck the gordita. Go yard, Gibby.

spank said...

Waning Gibbons

Paul said...

Damn you Jay!!! Breaking ball blues.

rbnlaw said...

Or get Kemped. Nice one, Gibby.

karina said...

What's a gordita?

@rbnlaw how about the women who don't drink scotch?

NicJ said...

thanks for the mental picture of heath bell in rollerblades, VIn.

spank said...

Is it too much to ask Ipod to hit another one

Kyle Baker said...

@RBN re 2PM

Not me.

I started in around noon.

rbnlaw said...

@Mr. C:
Is it because I finally showed up?

rbnlaw said...

DB,
you da man. I'd love some margaritas about now.

karina,
Martinis will do.

Kyle Baker said...

@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.

NicJ said...

BEAT LA

Paul said...

One more out and we crash party!!!

Nostradamus said...

@rbnlaw

You are the straw that stirs the drink, my friend.

rbnlaw said...

Fuck. We're going to break their streak.


Fuck.

NicJ said...

i would be really pissed right now if i wasnt rooting against the giants at the moment.

spank said...

I got turned down by a gordita earlier. No Game

rbnlaw said...

Mr.C,
this straw is feeling surly.

NicJ said...

SUCK IT GINTS!!!!!!

spank said...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm trying to stand down, but it's just so hard to do:

"@MikeSciosciasTI: Scott Podsednik just homered in Petco, of all places. Ned Colletti's printing out the 2011 contract as we speak."

MR.F said...

HELLO .500

Nostradamus said...

@rbnlaw

How can one be truly surly in someplace with this much innuendo?

Paul said...

Bell Bottom Blues- Clapton.

Oh wait I already picked Sophie B Hawkins.

Josh S. said...

I still hate Taco's histrionics.

karina said...

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

rbnlaw said...

Red Hook Rope Swing? Pilsner?
Must find.

Kyle Baker said...

Ahhhhh....Leyna Nguyen. You've got the cure for my Blues. #weekendnewscastchick

Steve Sax said...

Wait, rbnlaw is married?

Aw, man...

This is the strangest GT yet. I definitely feel like I'm in a pub with you guys.

Kyle Baker said...

It really is like a pub...you get all sorts of cross talk and crazy tangents.

karina said...

look what you've done to me-Al Green

rbnlaw said...

Mr. C,
The innuendo is spectacular.

I'm also a little too drunk to be surly. Hungover? sure.

spank said...

Let It Down-George Harrison

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's more thread, and less game.

Paul said...

"Ned Colletti still doesn't have a blog. The first step for any baseball man"
-Paul.

Steve Sax said...

589 comments for a dead team that can't even play the spoiler role right.

You guys rock.

rbnlaw said...

Sax,
It's a marriage of convenience. Especially with 4 kids. Plu, she knows what I drink.

Steve Sax said...

Thanks for keeping me company!

spank said...

"Devil Horns"

Cliff Beefpile said...

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!

Kyle Baker said...

Can you imagine if we (Dodgers) were actually doing well? We would kill Blogger. Oh, wait...

MR.F said...

The National - Bitters & Absolut

spank said...

Two 600 comment threads in a weeks time. Must be a record for this lot

rbnlaw said...

Stupid "s" key on my laptop.

Kyle Baker said...

We're just whoring ourselves, Spanky.

rbnlaw said...

Lot's o' talkin; not much baseball.


Sort of like the MCC.

karina said...

"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

rbnlaw said...

WHOREWHOREWHOREWHORE

MR.F said...

Hey! We're at least way more sophisticated than MCC.... those neebs.

Kyle Baker said...

"singlehood"

That's just down the street from Mannywood, right?

rbnlaw said...

karina,
We know too much about each other to ever be with anyone else. It' what marriage should be.

spank said...

Gotta go over and water my parents plants before they die. Procastination is a motherfucker.

Auf Wiedersehen FOOLS!

MR.F said...

I'm jealous, rbnlaw.

Kyle Baker said...

Side job for RBN: marriage counselor for Frank and Jamie.

Kyle Baker said...

Cheers, Spank. Hope the old man is on the mend.
