Ted Lilly (8-9, 3.55) vs. Bud Norris (6-8, 5.34).
The two-games-under-.500 Dodgers face the seven-games-under-.500 Astros in a game that will be filled with about as much tension as a Kimbo Slice MMA match. Charley Steiner and Rick Monday are sure to fixate on the Dodgers' early morning arrival into Houston, and how the Dodgers will be overtired (as if, when you were 25 years old, a late night really affected your performance the following day). Don't let that fact fool you; truth is, the Dodgers haven't had more than four runs in a game since August 29 (10 games ago). You think that nubby hill in right-center field has something to do with it? Nah, Charley and Rick will assure you any on-field quirks are due to the infamous shadows. You think the date of today's game is the reason why the Dodgers are off to their most embarrassing year in the Joe Torre era? "Nein, nein!"

Torre: How you feel to today John?
Lindsay: Good skip!
Torre: great you are in......sane for staying in the minor leagues for that long!!
Lindsay: happy to be here just let me know what I can do and i will do it.
Torre: good cause I am gonna give you a chance tonight to...brush Bowa's hair.
After a horrendous start (17-34 after April and May), the Stros are actually playing pretty well. They are 49-39 since then and are 22-14 since August 1. I predict they pass us by early next week, maybe even Sunday
Oops Lindsey.

@FB: I hope it's the last chance for Collins himself.
I wanted to declare the Collins Curse over after the Milwaukee sweep. The problem is, the Dodgers are 3-9 since then. It seems breaking the curse created a whole new curse.
So, now I will curse. FUCK!
Beware the Therioeltjen!
I think Ownie Carroll could still break into the starting rotation.
@FB: Whoa. We are 15-21 since 8/1. We are fans of a terrible, terrible baseball team.
*sad trombone*
Strike up the band!!
SWEINHUNDS!!!
HOARSE! ALL OF US!
WIR SIND HUREN HIER! SCHMUTZIG, SCHLAMPIG HUREN, IHR ALLE!
Dear San Diego,
Tritten sie auf dem Schwanz.
@Paul 2:17p: dude, that is hilarious. mind if we riff off of this?
"There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen."
Diesen Lederhosen sind in meinem Sauerkraut.
OK, I'll stop that now.
Gunter glieben glauchen globen!
^says the guy with a German last name
DEF LEPPARD FTW
I, for one, welcome our new German overlords.
Alright, I've got something to say
It's better to burn out than fade away!
Gonna start a fire, come on
Rise up, gather round, rock this place to the ground
Burn it up, let's go for broke, watch the night go up in smoke
====
Wait, what the hel is it with you and fire lately, Josh?
Holy Shit! Now I'm getting language lessons. This is the Wal-Mart of Blogs.
Rock on (rock on)
Drive me crazier!
No serenade, no fire brigade
just pyromania!
That song was on my mind because I just got around to watching the Supernatural season finale a couple days ago.
Also, I'm Beavis.
FIRE!FIRE!FIRE!
I just only want to burn in desire
Let me stand next to your Fire
Nothing fires up a Saints fan like Taylor Swift! NOW IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON!!!
So is Chuck God?
@MLASF: Chuck is Eric Kripke, for sure. He may or may not be God.
So that's why he disappeared. Because Kripke's not on board anymore.
I feel so elusive in Houston
You feel so exclusive in Houston
When you diss Dre you diss yourself!!!!!
2-0 Bums in the lead already!? wow
WTF does Dave Matthews have to do with football? LaCrosse maybe.
He's playin g Burning down the house. Aint that a bitch
For the record, Steiner said Dre's hit was "off the base of the wall," so needless to say I was confused when it was ruled a home run.
I...will take it.
What time does the Saints game actually start? I'm still on my way home.
Nevermind. I just found it on AM570.
It's starting right now!
This is what Steve Sax looks like now:
http://twitpic.com/2musoq
Brett Favre is wearing ear plugs. CUT OUT THAT RACKET, YOU STUPID PUNKS.
Good work Spanky!
AHHHHHHHHHHH YEAH!!!!!!1
I tried finding that video of John Madden on the Simpsons talking about the great game of football, but youtube failed me.
We've got Bush.
What? Did something happen.
Well, at least the Saints are winning.
I don't trust Saints D. Sorry Karina
Time for Brett Favre to shine! (vomits)
Mitchell up with 2 on
ESPN has slowed to a crawl.
BRETT FAVRE DIDN'T EVEN THROW THE FUCKING BALL
Because of A.P.
I'M ALREADY DOWN 6-0? DAMMIT
These fantasy games are going to be high scoring affairs
Alright. Vikings have good field position. C'mon, Favre, do something dammit!
Ripe time for an INT
Mr F said "When you diss Dre you diss yourself!!!!!"
Oh yeah. I've been meaning to use that line for a while. Dre just hasn't done anything to merit it in a long time.
@DB. Yeah, I thought that line might get overused, but this may be the last chance to use it for awhile =/.
You can never overuse classic rap lines like that.
But I try.
@Spanky smack talk whatever you want, but I'm not giving you the Saints D (not this week, at least)
Epale everyone!
Steve Sax looks sleek!
@ Karina
I actually need them to hold Farve down
Hey, K.
You're really taking it to El Profesor so far.
SACK SACK SACK
Oh Snap! Karina with the big lead
3 more points MLASF
Football talk?
Lilly's about to give it up
No harm done, go Lilly!
Lilly got out of it
Yaay.
Excuse me. Epale Karina!
@Spanky @Mr C I'm on the fantasy site. I watch number and try to understand,
The Professor has any active players. My D is actually doing very well, I think.
^numbers
I have no vested fantasy interest, so FAIL FAVRE FAIL!!!
Guys, I need a favor: I'm taking the IELTS on Nov. 20th, so if you feel like correcting my grammar, please feel free to so. The lowest score I can get in every part of the exam is 7 out of 9.
I feel the countdown just started: I'm gonna freak out 'till May/June of next year.
a question, if I apply for Grad School in January, how long will it take 'till I know I got accepted or not?
@ Karina
If your offensive players get yards and/or touchdowns you get points. If your D does not you get points.
But you can't quote me on that
@Karina
It would be entirely unlike me ever to correct anyone's grammar.
I done ain't know no grammar, and I's sure as heck ain't one to be correcting grammar of someone else. Darn tootin'.
Did the Dodgers just bring up white guys or what?
@Dusty Baker @Mr LASF hahahahaha :_(
How did we turn into the whitest team since pre-Jackie? All these white people make me nerovus.
Quintero, one of my favorite players!
It's like the 1930's with these fools
But since you asked, Karina.
One thing I not is your use of the English preposition "on" a lot when you really mean "in." That's something to watch if you're saying it or writing it to matter. Because around here it doesn't matter. ;-)
^nervous
@Spanky
In fact, it's like September 9, 1933, per the lineup I posted above.
Because Kemp, Loney, Jansen, and Lindsey scream white?
@ Dusty
I figure Jake Flowers as a Cuban. Hence the surname.
Thanks, Dusty.
Any help is greatly welcomed.
INT. Baby
100!
@MLASF:
Pretty white:
Scott Podsednik, LF
Jamey Carroll, SS
Andre Ethier, RF
James Loney, 1B
Russ Mitchell, 3B
Ryan Theriot, 2B
Trent Oeltjen, CF
A.J. Ellis, C
Ted Lilly, P
Almost Lilly white, one might say. Haw! *cracking self up with lame pun*
Flowery language you use, Mr. Baker
Three of those guys are not regular starters.
Belisario, Troncoso, Barajas, Monasterios, Dotel, Kuroda, Hu, Kuo, Ethier, Kemp, Loney, Lindsey, Padilla, Jansen, Furcal
We also had Anderson. Is ethnic diversity worth a crappier team?
Epale Y'all
I feel so conflicted. The Dodgers on one channel and Saints/Vikings on another. The remote is getting a workout.
GO SAINTS!
I'm getting off this subject before I offend someone (Even though I'm a beaner)
Whatever that means Even though.
Oetljen, there's something I like you: you smile a lot.
Can you strike out less? please?
He missed it
Whoever has Hartley cannot be happy about that.
Break his collarbone
Don't interrupt me when I'm making fun of Light Hitting White Guys!
Fuck You Farve!
Wouldn't you know Hartley is my kicker @#$%^!
Minnesota touchdown!
I'm not really a football fan but this Favre dude is really annoying. ESPN gives more coverage to him than if Derek Jeter got traded to the Red Sox
P. Ditty's got Longwell. He can't be happy about that.
This isn't the offensive game people thought it would be.
They gave longwell a point on the miss
Even Steiner knew that one was gone.
Shite.
Hells Bells - 3 run homer and the Lastro's take the lead.
new game :(
Oh well.
Even non-football fans know Favre is a dutch bag.
I forgot about Carlos Lee :(
Farve being Farve
Dodgers being Dodgers
I knew when that strike was called a ball that the AB was going to end badly for Lilly.
Nice snag.
Pretty slick catch by the Aussie, but Collins barely reacted. How unlike him.
I need to see that catch. It is supposed he can't hit but he can't play defense well.
Well, look who is up to bat.
WORTH THE WAIT
Go Lindsey, it's time for a first hit.
On the mound, another guy from Maracaibo.
Rancho Droopiendo
OK, Karina, it's King James time.
Dethroned.
I hate this King James version.
No Big Game King James tonight :(
At least it was not a double play?
@db
Verily, dost thou?
Come on Gibbons, drive in some runs!
DAMMIT!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoo hoo, Saints score!
Woohoo! Saints take the lead, and it's a rushing TD!
PASS THE BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I got another point though
If Favre gets a TD, we're tied.
Pierre Thomas is really helping out Nic.
What did I miss?
Mr. F is an OG.
I just started fall league. 2 for 4 and bb. A slappy single and a pulled double down the line. (Ned would trade for me) Now I have to flake on the next few games. No time for the game anymore (unless it is on my couch or computer).
Astros made out like Janes Addiction
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
hahaha, congrats Paul!
Paul, we needed you in the 6th.
PIERRE!!!!
the good one, not juan.
We're up to bat again. Let's hope we can do something!
BROXTON? BROXTON!?
A NON-CANADIAN DODGER CATCHER THREW OUT A RUNNER!!!
harvin isnt giving me shit though.
Come on Favre, go all gunslinger.
Break his leg
Dammit. This is all Harvin's fault.
AHH Man
Oh, crap. That was awful.
saints D is good, but favre looks terrible.
looked like a catch to me.
I agree with Michaels
Looked good.
I can't figure out if you'all are watching the baseball game or football. I need to get to a television.
Ah Yeah. Too bad Farve
Paul
More football at this point. Dodgers are about to drop another.
the dodgers are far too depressing to watch.
Who wants to watch baseball?
Even sPods looks like he's about to cry.
I'm doing both. Nothing hapenning in Dodgerland
1 more out till another loss
ive got the picture in picture going.
but the dodgers have been banished to the little box.
Dodgers shot down in flames. Now back to football.
PASS THE BALL!!
! more point MLasf
no RUN THE BALL!!!
how can you mend a broken heart-Al Green
DAMMIT, I should have started Shockey this week. Witten better not let me down!
Way to be, Paul. Don't give in an bring the unblinking eye into your home.
Somebody get me a doctor-Van Halen
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Scheisse.
Meacham had that, the bahstad.
Dodgers lose and no "screwing the Giants" silver lining =(
Really glad Meachum didn't catch that; would have helped MR C against me.
missed FG.
For the record AC/DC Shot Down in Flames.
Hartley fails again.
^That applies to the Saints drive too.
Hartley is break even in fantasy points.
Who has the Saints Kicker? MB? P.Ditty?
P. Ditty has Longwell. MB has Hartley.
Hartley is killing me!!
201
DAMMIT I MEAN YES
Congratulations, MR. LASF.
@Spank
What was the Jane's Addiction reference? Missed something. But I don't want to miss any JA reference.
at some point brett has to complete a few passes, right?
not to harvin though, bastard.
WHO THE HELL IS CAMARILLO?
Woohoo Favre yards!
Damn
