COMMENTS: With the Padres and Giants fighting it out for first place, what's Dodger fan to do? Some might say you root against the interest of the Giants, even if it means the Dodgers losing. Some might say you never root against the Dodgers. Some might say they just want to watch some baseball. And some might say we will find a brighter day. That day? 2011.

Hitting them with three Misters right from the start.
I have the chance to be Kemped!
Fuckng Gallagher brothers. So much talent; so much hatred for each other. Still love Oasis.
Is Torre punishing DB, or "playing the matchups?
I'm this season's Jim Thome, alas.
I'm protecting Mr C? Oh he's screwed.
Ken Gurnick just reported:
"Ronnie Belliard was designated for assignment and Trent Oltjen was called up from Albuquerque."
Did that happen last year^ or is this actual news from him?
Ken Gurnick makes a brief stop in the present to let us know that Ronnie Belliard has been DFA'd to make room for the thunder down under.
Wait for it...
DAMMIT
And we're off!

2B, huh? I'm so going angry cop 'stache in that case.
I'll be in center making it look easy, getting others to fire off gif's to defend me, and being accused of dogging it.
Oh, and WHORES!! ALL OF YOU, WHORES!!
Spanky's pitching? We'll be down 7-0 in the first after 10 straight beanballs.
Also, I'm not sure LF is right for me. My arm's so noodly, it makes Juan Pierre look like a pitching machine.
If Manny can play left, you can, Josh. Now get back in there!
That was my pitching strategy with Spanky. We take out most of their lineup and then hope we have a better chance against their bench. Genius!
I'm not sure I get the whoring thing. It's not like I'm making any money here.
I am TOTALLY slutting it up, though. For serious.
With the full might of Australia in our arsenal, THE DIVISION IS OURS.
Bon voyage, Manny Jr.
What the heck were you guys doing last night on GT? Lots of posting for a boring game.
@MLASF re your Tweet contest entry:
DAMMIT!
@Neeebs
You really don't want to know, my friend.
Umm...
That's a...lovely merkin you've got there.
@MC: Yeah, I'm trying to 'sweeten' up my image after last night's hit.
Epale everyone!
a couple of thoughts:
a) why am I not playing first base or third base?
b) when you call each other "whores" do you leave Meaniebreanie, Betsy, Nancy Bea, Karen and I outside of that specific name calling?
c) Neeebs, as long as I live, I won't ever forget that merkin
@Dusty Baker I'm freaking out 'cos I'm hitting cleanup
You'll go 5-5 tonight, Karina. Believe!
Hey skip! I am good for a couple of innings tonight. I know I pitched in every game vs the Giants and you had me warm up 3 times last night, but I am ready to go! I am even working a Ming the Merciful beard
@ Dusty
Nice lineup
I thought the whole point of feminism was that women would be treated equally.
@FB
I want you to close. Dittmore has lost all confidence, his velocity is down, and all he wants to throw is his fastball.
There will apparently be a "This is My Town - Ireland" on the 17th. Irish food and a t-shirt soaked in blood and Guinness included.
@ Dusty
I did want to throw my name into the hat as the guy used to get the opposing manager to make a pitching change. Announce me, they bring in the righty, then tell me to get a shower. I don't need the supertar treatment.
Word! I see myself as a Takashi Saito-style closer. Decent stuff and all strikes. And if you need me to, I will plunk the guys Spanky hasn't injured
@SSS
Got it. Be ready to hit the showers. with Neeebs after I use him to get out a lefty in the 8th.
@FB
Throw at their head! Throw at their head!
@ Dusty
Do we HAVE to shower together? I don't really know Neebs that well and I'm sure he feels the same. I'm a team player, though. I'm willing to sacrifice to win.
Neeebs and SSS in the shower together?
*mind wanders*
We have to save on water bills, per recent memo from Frank.
@ FB
I feel like I am only a pawn in some sick and twisted game that is going on in Dusty's head! I'm glad someone else noticed!
is Neeebs' mom the Kim Basinger/Memo Paris of this team?
@SSS
Just be glad DB doesn't DFA you like Belli2
@FB
We are from the same hometown! Surely he wouldn't do that to a fellow Arkansan!?!?!
Great. Now we're whoring out to each other in the shower? WHEN WILL THE WHORING END?!?!?!
Blame the MANAGER!!!!!!
stank-ass Giants up 3-0 early
Go Blue!!
@fb
As a wise man once said, "Fuck the Giants"
@ Mr C
The night is young, but that could be post of the night material.
latos' pic on mlb gameday makes me hate him even more.
@DB,
i know i'm fairly new...but could i have the utility man spot on the roster? i fancy myself a 2b/ss type sparkplug in the chad fonville mold.
Young MC shuts down the Braves today. I fucking knew it.
Epale Ladies and Gentlmen!!
DB...I rested my arm all day today and will be good coming out of the bullpen should you call
What's with the lack of whoring?
Man, we really used all our momentum yesterday. It's a bit quiet in here.
I'm sure it's partially because Neeebs is wearing a pink falsie, but not entirely.
I am out cause I broke my hand on a beer glass?
@Mr LASF don't try to cut me with that knife made of cardboard. Women should be treated equally because we're human beings. We are all equal, regardless gender, race, social status, sexual orientation, level of education, nationality, physical appearance, disabilities and age.
However, feminism went extreme and proposed women to deny our femininity and this is the shocking news: we are not equal, we have different hormonal cycles and our brains work in different ways, just to put the biological example,
Feminism pretended women to be bitter and emotionally distant Iris Gaines. Under any circumstance a woman could be Memo Paris. What if I choose to be a Memo? what if I choose to be a matriarch AND a career woman? what if I choose to be a single mother with a career?
I refused to be labeled AND I choose to live without intellectual boundaries.
Fred's Brim, you had me with your "the Natural" reference
Relax Karina, We love and respect all the ladies.
Dusty better not take me out of the game before the 9th or else I'll bean the bastard on his way to his car.
Adrian Gonzalez is a pain in the ass
I was just about to say what a beautiful slider that was, but the next pitch to the next batter went to deep left and rolled around, scoring a run.
We'll have to hit a whole lot to support you, Spanky
I've got your back, SSS.
Not in the shower, though.
C'mon Spank, give those of us in the bully a chance
@ElMonty
If we get the lead, you're going in later as a defensive replacement for Josh. Which won't be difficult.
@Karen
I will probably need you to get two outs in the 8th. Can you do that for me? You know how I look to burn through a lot of pitchers...
*Pulls cap down, goes back to sleep*
*backs way the fuck up away from the feminish subplot*
@Spanky I didn't mean to school anyone, it's just a knife made of carboard :)
Mr LASF you know you are a favorite of mine, aren't you?
I didn't have to work today. Surliness -5.
i'm such a whore :(
Matty your a star!!! In nobody's eyes but mine! Yeah.
I think Mat Latos is a start too.
Is that not who you meant?
damn you james mcdonald, why did you suck in dodger blue?!
feminism makes me surly...in my PANTS!
^feminist
*star^
@Mr LASF for the record, I don't think you are. Cmon and give me a smile!
@Karina: Love the post.
@Everyone: Looks like I'm taking one for the team again on GT?
dont blame me neeebs, i just got here.
@Paul
You retired years ago, remember? You're my surly old man bench coach.
crap, almost forgot.
BEAT LA!!
I've said nothing untoward, Neeebs.
*hurriedly checks previous comments to make sure*
Why can't Aaron disappear like his older brother, Chuck?
Oh, yeah, never mind. I forgot about the shower implication.
When goes GLEE start up again?
Epale Y'all
Dusty, thanks for adding me to the lineup. I see that I am catching for the Spank man. This could really prove to be an interesting evening : )
Should I be hitting the Glenmorangie with hopes of making our bullpen more tolerable?
FOOTBALL IN LESS THAN 45 HOURS
watching this team its actually quite amazing that we are even at .500, for a couple more hours at least.
@DB; I'm not only taking one for the team, apparently I'm taking one from SSS, too!
stupid ESPN fantasy projections already has me losing week one.
this is getting ugly. fast. stupid sandy eggo.
On Topic Post:
Latos is throwing the Don Sutton curveball in the dirt. You think we'd learn to lay off it for a change?
@Neeebs *blushing*thanks
I have the second best projection, woo hoo!
Neeebs, you're avatar is very distracting.
@Karina -
In regard to football I am sure I will be the first one out as I don't know what I am doing.
I like what you said about not being defined or labeled. I have always lived life that way. Be careful about too much emphasis on the career. It won't keep you warm at night. This is the voice of experience talking.
@MB
The fact that you're catching a Spanking was not entirely unintentional.
@MF:
Ya think?
your*
@DB - I guess I have been a naughty girl. One good spank deserves another. I do have a little resentment about being placed into a position that requires being on my knees so much. Just remember DB that karma can be a bitch!
Offense!
ScottyPods!
@MB
The knees part was entirely unintentional.
My boy Scotty P doubles. Come on boys let's score!
@MB re career won't keep you warm at night
I guess that depends on what career you choose.
cc Karina
We scored!
but he's the worst .300 hitter in the MLB!
That worked out well.
What is this strange, how you say it, "offense" you speak of?
DB - quit while you are ahead. MB is reaching through the web to smack you upside the head.
@Dusty
oh in that case.... Get your head out of your ass Rbn!!!
Mr. C watch for the steal sign.
It's a Loney steal!
I love it when Raffy's in a running mood!
Correction - didn't mean that Loney stole...well you all know what I mean. Dusty has me totally rattled. Can we at least tie it up?
@Nic
No I wasn't talking of Matt Latos but he could star as Ivan Drago in a Rocky IV remake.
"whatever he hits...he destroys."
You know Kershaw needs......a giant tatoo on his neck.
@Meaniebreanie you say the exact same thing as my mama, though she was the one who raise me to think in the career first. She understands I'll settle for the right kind of warmer :)
^raised
"I must break you"
I have you rattled, MB? Uh-oh.
*makes visit to mound, careful not to walk right back onto mound*
i wanna play hit and run...with tejada's face!
I love the phrase "upside the head." Don't hear it a lot around here, but I miss it.
Dusty -
We can speak southernese to each other over moon pies and Dr. Pepper. I'll help bring back your memories. Then again it may make you grateful to be in LA.
@DB
No one ever gets their ears boxed properly any more either.
I need to listen to some Dino tonight.
Nic, get ready. I'm putting you in for the pitcher's spot next inning. We have to get something going. None of the sissy slap bunt shit, though, ok?
I love being in LA while I reminisce about not being in LA.
God damn I love me some Doctor Pepper.
cc-SSS, P Ditty
DB
What are some of your favorite southern sayings?
it sure is a morgue in PetCo tonight
heh "Balsley"
my favorite southern saying is Bojangles
goddamit why do we have Theriot? I don't want to root for him next year
In the words of Mr LASF, our Lord and Savior singled :)
One of the ones I like is:
There is an ass for every saddle.
@MB
"Fuck me runnin'!" is right up there.
I also like the whole construct of saying "I tell you what" at the end of a sentence. the first time my wife heard my stepfather say that, she replied, "What?" I had to explain that it was like a period at the end of a sentence but signifying particular emphasis, not a question to the listener.
is that a baseball stitch on Latos' arm?
For the record, the southern accent makes me melt.
God damn Spanky throw at their eyes!
DB
"I tell you what" is right there along with "I'm fixin to"
yikes
how is it that our starting pitching is the most dependable part of this team?
I've filtered most of these sayings and forms of speech, but I refuse to drop the "I'm fixin' to" construct. It means more than just the fact that a person will soon do something - it means the shit is going down right away.
positively dependable I mean. Our bullpen sucking and batters blowing are much more consistent than anything else on this team
ooh will John Lindsay hit next inning?
@FB
No. He'll strike out.
no he's the dead former mayor of New York
@Karina
I logged in to ESPN. What did you do to access our projections?
For the record the Jersey accent makes me melt.
MB is on the receiving end of a Spanky fastball. But can she handle the Screw..Ball?
What? Carroll for Barajas? Huh?
For the record, I do not melt.
For the record the English, Aussie, Kiwi, and South African accents make me melt : )
fucking Rick Fucking Fox is on TV at the US Open
Am I being criticized for my lack of focus on the basepaths and questionable defense again?
Where my pitches at?
Oh, it worked! Torre is god!
Spanky - Bring it on! This girl can handle anything you throw at her. Now don't give me any more talk,just deliver.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Wait a minute...
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
Na'viiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Monkey Sighting.
And have MB and Spanky exchanged numbers yet?
The tension is palpable.
Why do I even get excited about September call-ups?
MB, Just watch out for the backdoor slider...It's a doozy.
Ackbar with a leadoff double!
Baltimore accents make me melt.
this season has been so much fun

@Meaniebreanie I'm doing like 3 things at the same time and I can't find the predictions.
I completely forgot English accent (I dig the Irsih, but I have to pay extra attention, I might not understand much)
Baseless accusation: Taco Bell is a cokehead.
Phil Coke is a tacohead.
Spank - I will have my guard up. No one slips one in on MB.
RB - all in the spirit of fun.
Naked women with accents make me melt.
*ducks rolling pin*
This is going to be another sad 2010 Dodger moment
We all pay extra attention to the Irish so that we might have a chance of understanding them.
MB,
I ain't complaining.
I hate Taco Bell. The franchiser and the fatass.
@MB, Karina
Click the "Scoreboard" tab on the league page. It shows the remaining games and projected point totals (for what they're worth).
Taco + Coke = Delicious
@Sax
In the game, or in the GT?
@Meaniebreanie I found it! click on schedule, then you go to preview, it turns out I have an slightly advantage over the Professor.
I'm currently half naked with a southern accent. Does that count?
Hey Sax..Lighten up Buddy!
@MB
I'm sorry, what?
BEAT LA!!
@MB
Yes, that definitely counts.
Thx to Mr. C and Karina. This girl needs all the help she can get.
Bud Black plays to win.
@MB:
HI-YOOOOOOOOOOO!
got to find a way to squeeze 3 more points out of my fantasy team.
All 8,354 people at PetCo are in their feet!
lucky for bud black the dodgers play to lose.
The Riot swung at the same pitch.
Go King James or Mr LASF!
I hope none of them get stubbed in the rabs.
why doesnt loney just lay down a bunt?
they are playing him way back.
Loney, for the love.
You can always tell how exciting the game is by our tangents on the thread.
