Game 140 Thread: September 8 @ Padres, 7p

Chad Billingsley (11-8, 3.54) vs. Cory Luebke (0-1, 7.20).

Sure, San Francisco fans. You might think that your recent four-game win streak (two of which beat us; two of which are against minor snakes of the garden-type variety) was cause for celebration. But not against this 2010 Dodgers squad (now 10 games out of first place with a sub-.500 record); no, we're playing the spoiler, and even better, we're playing the spoiler against YOU now! A loss today would complete a Padres sweep and give division-leading San Diego a nice boost, rejuvenating the Padres after their disappointing ten-game losing streak. And Thursday, you roll into Petco Park for a four-game series. We're doing our part to make sure they have all the momentum!

Steve Sax said...

karina said...

sorry Mr LASF.

your d**m** always make me laugh

Kyle Baker said...

Kick 'em when they're down, indeed, Sax.

MeanieBreanie said...

@Saxy -
(temporary change of avatar)
I think Don would have loved what you just said. I can see the smile on his face.

***Avatar disclaimer***
This picture is several years old when a really bad hairdresser chopped off all of MB's hair. She is happy to report that it is much longer now.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This game is going surprisingly well. And by surprisingly well, I mean, not a total and complete trainwreck where the pitching collapses and turns into a batting practice machine.

MeanieBreanie said...

Saxy - you are on a roll!
Kick em when they're up, kick em when they're down.

karina said...

Meaniebreanie, you look pretty in that pic.

Kyle Baker said...

This is a high triple A team without Manny, plain and simple.

MeanieBreanie said...

Aw, thank you Karina. I think I look much better now with hair :)
This is me today, flaws and all.

@Spanky
Somehow I think I may have just totally shattered whatever illusions or fantasies you may have had.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

@MC: You don't deserve it. If you did, I'd subject you to the Merken again.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

@Karina:

MP posted a long explanation on his Facebook page. Check it out.

Paul said...

STELLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAA!!

I won't sport the stache until my post beard festival of lights.

Fuck bees.

karina said...

Meaniebreanie, you are pretty!

@Neeebs thanks for the tip!

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Meanie's a cutie!

Paul said...

Hey it is the lead singer for the birds!! O I mean eagles. I haven't heard boys of summer in awhile.

Holy shit Rick Springfield at the LA County fair!!!! The stache will do me good then.

MeanieBreanie said...

@Neeebs -
Keep talking. Flattery will get you everywhere! This is probably the most excitement I will have all evening.

MeanieBreanie said...

@Miss Karina, so are you. I love your pic on our football site.

Paul said...

Yeah hot!! MB you look very attractive as well.

NicJ said...

laying down bunts with a 4-0 lead late in the game?

when the Pads come back to LA heads better roll.

MeanieBreanie said...

@Paul,
Yes that is my favorite Eagle although Timothy is a sweetheart with the voice of an angel.

According to the poll you are so going to kick my ass this week. I will not give up without a fight!

NicJ said...

what the hell is torre doing?

changing pitchers like this game matters.

Paul said...

@MB

I saw Joe Walsh play a pre game dodger concert. He was the headliner. There was a Beatles cover band as well. Those were the weird Fox ownership days.

Oh and we have polls in Fantasy Football?

karina said...

@Meaniebreanie @Paul awwww, thank you very much! I'm blushing and I feel flattered. Thanks!

Truth is I wanted to change the pic and didn't know how, I just decided I'm gonna leave it.

spank said...

WoW! MB your beauty has left me speechless. How can I talk all crazy to you now?



Your still Spanky screwball material.

And beanball material if your a masochist

Josh S. said...

I got my first taste of AT&T U-Verse tonight. I think I'm sold.

(Silly audience! Segues are for kids!)

Kyle Baker said...

Josh, do they offer MLB Network yet?

Paul said...

Josh are you typing english? Is this new technology a country hick like me wouldn't understand?

MeanieBreanie said...

@Paul
I met Joe albeit briefly so I really couldn't form an opinion one way or the other. Don and I share a mutual friend who introduced me. I had dinner with Don and Timothy so I got to see their personalities a bit.

Don is one of the few men who could get away with calling me "doll" or "darlin" without it sounding patronizing or me wanting to punch him.

The pic you saw was taken at a fundraiser that Don gave. It was followed by an Eagles show at a very small venue. Needless to say, it was a very cool experience.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Thunder Down Under!

karina said...

lead off walk!

my hommie Trent Oeltjen.

Nostradamus said...

Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Neeebs (The Original) said...

On-Topic:

How many runs have we scored this series?

DB got it wrong. We are a high AA team with Big League pitching.

Paul said...

Is that Candiotti's old number that old chin is sporting?

Paul said...

Oi Oi Oi!!!! Oi well.

karina said...

I'm a witch. I thought in King James and he's coming up.

MeanieBreanie said...

Could we even buy a run if we wanted to?

spank said...

Damn the Dodgers Suck

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

FOR THE LOVE OF JACKIE ROBINSON JUST GIVE JOHN LINDSEY A CHANCE

MeanieBreanie said...

@Spanky
You leave me speechless in more ways than one! There are some things a girl just won't reveal.

NicJ said...

dont DP Loney!!

you will ruin lindsey's moment.

spank said...

@ Mlasf

Our Qb's are going head to head tomorrow(Mano a Mano) Better get ready for some major smack.

Paul said...

Sounds like a pretty cool gig to attend.

karina said...

Congrats Linds!

NicJ said...

YAY LINDSEY!!

(STANDING OVATION)

Paul said...

Go Lindsey!!!!

MR.F said...

John Lindsey alert!!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

MITCH JONES 2.0

MeanieBreanie said...

Knock it out!

Kyle Baker said...

I know what you mean re MLB Network, Josh. It was so good then they cut everything back b/c of poor ratings. Now it'sjust that chick who wears the same dress and recants the day's baseball action.

MR.F said...

OH COME ON!!!!!

MeanieBreanie said...

What, now they bring in Dre?

NicJ said...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

FUCK YOU TORRE!!!!

Paul said...

Booooooooooooo!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

YOU SONOFABITCH, TORRE GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE

Paul said...

Is quickpitch another baseball channel?

NicJ said...

i dont want to see Dre the "K"

MR.F said...

LINDSEY WOULD NOT HAVE GIDP'd.

MeanieBreanie said...

Torre just probably crushed any remaining spirit that Lindsey or sPods had.

**From the file of what was he thinking.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!

spank said...

BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Paul said...

See when you fuck with the baseball gods!!!!

MR.F said...

@NicJ, you mean "Dre the ground-into-double-play."

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's almost like Andre wanted to stick it to Joe.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Nice AB Dre!

NicJ said...

torre just wanted to make sure we lost the game.

SUCK IT GINTS!!!!!

karina said...

That DP was bad karma. Torre, why did you change your mind? this guy deserves a chance!

karina said...

Now we all can speculate Lindsey might have hit a HR.

We'll never know Torre and that's YOUR fault.

NicJ said...

Dre the "K" this year.

Last year he was Andre GIDPthier

MeanieBreanie said...

Mr. LASF
Well somebody needs to stick it to Joe.

NicJ said...

it really is shameful how few people are at tonight's game.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Go-t'hell.

MeanieBreanie said...

My surliness factor just went off the charts. I probably will not be able to sleep tonight.

Paul said...

*pinches arm*. I am numb so this sweep don't hurt none.

I remember plenty of times the Giants rolled over for teams we needed to lose.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This is the worst new year ever.

karina said...

Now Vin mentions it, it was sad Torrealba actually stole a base.

karina said...

Happy New Year, Mr LASF!

don't let stoopid Dodgers ruin it for you!

Paul said...

Ha ha Petco and Gas Lamp district your sales will be significantly lower cause the Dodgers suck.

spank said...

Everyone's in La Jolla drinking Champagne Cocktails and eating Crab.

Josh S. said...

Whoa. Sounds like I missed some serious bullshit while I was fixing the Diaper Genie.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Thank you, Karina.

Speaking of which, where's Delino?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Four pitchers used after Billingsley, none of whom were Jon Link.

Josh S. said...

It seems like Joe isn't using the call-ups because he stuck his foot in his mouth with the whole "unfair advantage" BS he spewed a while back.

NicJ said...

will joe just let the players manage already? It might as well be the last day of the season.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

BRAD AUSMUS IS THE FUTURE OF THIS MANAGERIAL STAFF

MR.F said...

I postponed my shower for the chance of seeing Lindsey hit. Damn you Torre.

MR.F said...

On the other hand, this is the numbest sweep by the Padres ever.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That was eventful.

FOOTBALL IS TOMORROW

NicJ said...

what time is the FB game tomorrow?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

So where's the PGT?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Official start time is supposed to be 5:30, though I'm anticipating a lot of pre-game postponing that.

karina said...

@Mr LASF that thought gave me the creeps, Ausmus as coach

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

But Brad Ausmus has a managerial record of 1-0! He's good!

(curls up into fetal position)

NicJ said...

now i can officially start rooting for the dodgers again.

MeanieBreanie said...

Tonight's parting song:
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

Although Blurry from Puddle of Mudd is stuck in my head. I hate it when you hear a song and it stays with you for what seems like forever.

spank said...

@ NicJ

Your a Padre fan now and forever.

Steve Sax said...

PGT up!

NicJ said...

nah, spanks. cant get used to winning.

rbnlaw said...

Just watched Pride and Prejudice 3D.
Thanks for that tip, Mr. C.

MB, I'll meet you at Double Dave's for AYCE pizza and strombolis. I can talk the kids who work there into selling Shiner Bock for $2 a pint.

Steve Sax said...

@MeanieBreanie 9:13p: holy shit, nice shot if you andDin Henley! Wow!

Steve Sax said...

^Don Henley, of course

MeanieBreanie said...

Thanks Saxy. Maybe one day this girl can score a pic with you.
