Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
John Ely (4-7, 4.63) vs. Wandy Rodriguez (11-12, 3.77).

COMMENTS: OMG OMG, Elymania is back! In this pleasureless shitheap of a season, there are few things to be excited about. John Ely is one of them. Is he the future of this organization, or just a future trade chip? Will he find a place alongside Bills and Kershaw, or will he just be one of the guys we got for Juan Pierre? Give us a sign, Elymania!

Fear The Monkey.
Wow, Virginia Tech #13 just lost to one solitary dude named James. Ouch.
Padres up 1-0. Come on SD, have some pride and stay classy
@ Sax re Padres

Petco Park is made out of people!!! It's people!!!!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Padres win
Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Giants lose
Lookit Saxy whoring the scene.
Posey K and they get the pinch-runner at second on the same play. Padres re-take sole possession of first place.
@Spanky: I'd say something back, but my throat's a little WHORES.

Half the line up are Isotopes.
What a sad,sad state of affairs.
@ Saxy
If you keep it up by the end of the day expect a brothel full of WHORES.
Quit this whoresin around.
Is it me or is there a chance King James isn't feeling well and/or tired?
I sWHORE I would not WHORE today
Epale Everyone!
This is a PERFECT Saturday so far.I drew a LOT (and liked what I did), read and ate cachapa, one of my favorite meals in the whole wide world.
The Revenge of the Sith is at the TV. Later,I'm going to a party.
I don't care if the Dodgers lose, this day is too good.
@ Karina
I would say it's because of a lack of something........hitting maybe the reason Loney is not playing.
@karina...I was wondering if something might be up with King James, too.
There's any info around King James, I'm sure if it is not for his lack of hitting, that's not how Torre rolls.
@karina...My daughter is an artist as well and loves to spend hours drawing, too. What do yo draw?
Oops, Casey thrown out of game.
JOE GOT THROWN OUT?!?
HE QUIT ON THE TEAM!!!
BLAH BLAH BLAH
^Joe
DON MATTINGLY IS THE MANAGER GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER
i hope the photographer moves away from the field mic. That shutter sound is annoying.
what happened?
ElyMania is dead. Just accept it.
@karen I'm a graphic designer but mostly, I draw children's stuff. I wanna be a children's book writer and illustrator. I have a thing with patterns too.
I go to drawing class on Saturdays (not today, I didn't want to get out) and I go to posemaniacs.com everyday and do its 30-second drawing 4 times a day. I also, depending on my spare time, 3 or 4 of its figures a week.
Outfield assist for Gibbons!
The Say Jay Gib!!
meh, that nickname kinda sucks.
Torre finally showed some sign of life eh. Ya pa que!
I know it's 9/11, but these white caps are ridiculously lame.
agreed, Saxy
I really wish they'd go back to using the dark blue caps from 2008.
college football has been a little boring today.
well besides Mich beating ND.
Ohio State/Miami and Oklahoma/Florida State did not shape up the way I had wanted them to. But I like the outcomes.
looks a lot like Pedro Cerrano at bat
@Nic - I guess somebody had to win that one
Lindsey hasn't worked out so well.
Ore @ Tenn is in a lightning delay.
WHORES!
Elymania
not Ely, but an incredible simulation.
GAARP is sitting in his living room, fuming
Is it a little Wandy in here?
sorry, Sax. I had a big barrito for lunch today
Stoopid lightning.
errybody in da club gettin Wandy.
Everyone knows it's Wandy.
Remember everyone praising Washington and Jake Locker? Yeah, that's not working out so well.
Ely is sharp tonight.
NOOO. Dont let Syracuse win. We will have to hear about it forever from siciliano.
cal just destroyed colo.
welcome to the Pac-10, punks.
(in 2012)
Anyone who votes for VT tomorrow will be stoned to death.
Ely is looking pretty damn good tonight.
Oh, and he is pitching well too.
LA BAMBA!!
i mean BARBA!!
Beard power!
Blake squeezes one out of Minute Maid Park
1-0 LA

para bailar la bamba, para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia, una poca de gracia, pa'ti pa'mi y allá arriba arriba...
NicJ I'm gonna to have this song stuck in my head for the rest of the night.
Sorry I'm late but:
La la la la la la la la la la Barba!
Errybody on our club hitting wandy.
AY JAY!
Wow, Houston sucks. AJ Ellis just got a RBI single.
3-0 LA
Dusty, are you sound and safe in Orlando?
God dammit! I didn't have the benefit of reading previous comments befor I went with the La Barba/La Bamba reference. It hasn't been done before to my recollection, so I thought I was hot snot on a silver platter, but turns out I'm cold boogers on a paper plate. Boooooo Dusty.
Ps- @ Sax - avatar is Bushwick Bill from Geto Boys (Houston rap outfit from back in tha day).
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Wait a minute
Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Ps - Nic you are My personal Jesus and hero for the J-Kwon tipsy references. MVP! MVP!
I don't care for Eric Collins.
how does he trip and still get a triple.
that kemp sure is good at baseball.
cant stop, wont stop with the J-Kwon references.
Gibbons did his best Manny impression with that misadventure in left field.
3-1 LA, Ely shaky.
So let's see how the Dodgers lose this one.
it doesnt seem like kemp sees the ball well in this place.
i dont really care much about the rest of the season.
Just beat the giants.
Ely is struggling again, three straight hits
3-2 LA
All tied at 3 in the fifth.
If we lose, we could take the Mets' spot in the draft order.
Just saying.
there's no way the Dodgers are doing worse than the Mets.
Poor Delino
haha, i was just looking at the reverse standings earlier today.
Eric Collins is unnaturally excited by balls hit off Wandy Rodriguez.
If we lose, we jump from 16th to 14th as a result of Milwaukee's compensatory pick.
I guess this is why Lindsey has never made the big leagues.
I'm really whoring the thread, aren't I?
I feel so alone.
oregon's run defense looks terrible tonight.
STOOPID ELY
I leave to get beer with a 3 run lead and now were tied. Party Pooper
Whose watching North Dakota vs.Northern Illinois? Raise your hands Fools!
*Okie content of thread increases by 1*
Epale, y'all.
I see we're not losing.
I approve!
RUSS MITCHELL IS THE FUTURE OF ANOTHER ORGANIZATIONS MINOR LEAGUE SYSTEM
Flat Breezy! Ladies and Gents
Tennessee

Apparently, A.J. Ellis and George Sherrill both went to Austin Peavy State University.
We must destroy this school before they produce more terrible Dodgers.
I wonder if Torre's passing notes over to his pet.
They text.
Torre's so old, He uses the Pony Express.
Blogger burped for awhile. I astutely canceled the impromptu hallway meeting I was in and ran back up to my room. Does this post take? Please?
It's a tied game!
they'll win this game, don't lose hope
the vol's PA guy sounds a little bit like larry the cable guy.
Hey, it's ol' Gordon Sumner!
Can't Stand Losing................You
Gibbons is doing alright
Lindsey I'll give a couple more chances
Mitchell-No Comment
I hope they lose this game. I want to jump up two draft spots.
Ha! KCAL knows it's over. That ad just said "Dodgers head to Bay Area to play spoiler to the Giants postseason hopes. Dodgers can't win win the West, watch them keep the Giants out of the playoffs!"
^the Bay Area & Giants'
FOr the record: I just paid 54 US for 3 Sam Adams and 3 Bud Light LImes brought up to my room. No, there's no bevvy joint nearby. Sometimes a brother's gotta do what a brother's gotta do.
Why the living F is this game blacked out on MLB.TV? I am in the middle of friggin nowhere and not remotely near either LA or Astros TV territory.
STOOPID DODGERS LOSE THIS GAME DAMMIT
woohoo!
something good happened to the Dodgers!
WOW! That was Dodger-like.
Johnson scored!
He says with a wry grin.
@DB I am getting it on the dotTeeVee
@dusty
Doesn't MLB.tv black out based on your account location, not your physical location?
Woo hoo! Free runs!
Only the Dodgers could suck at sucking.
Whoo-hoo
Not only not losing, but actually winning!
I don't know why Astro fans are giving a Bronx cheer, they should be used to Houston's poor play.
@Mr C
Yes and no. If it determines that one's physical location is in viewing area, it defaults to asking one for his/her info and the proceeds to check physical location based on IP address. So, when I'm in DC (often), I can watch flawlessly. Don't know why tonight I cant do the same.
I'm gonna go and grill some abused chickens.
I bet Dem Bums blow this while I'm away
My new avatar was inspired by the new trendy word here. The Police rules! (I also listened to Outlandos d' Amour a couple of days ago)
We are winning! Go Blue!
I'm off, my friend will be here in any minute.
Good Night guys!
ROCKY PATEL IS THE FUTURE OF MY SMOKING!!
VPad has a bulging di...sc and is done for the year. Hit the showers, Battle Toad! Wait, how will we know if he's showered given his perspiration?
By the way,
Odelay, whores!
I was watching a yawner, and a Dodger game broke out.
Cheers Karina!
Don't none of youse tell me about the Arsenal game, either. I have it DVR'd.
Screw Chelsea (at this point).
RBN, don't be dissin' me lads!
Geoff Blum is still in baseball?
Heh...Ackbar...
http://twitpic.com/2nkzlj
1/2 hour to UCLA football!1
DB,
Chelsea is an embarrassment of riches.
I hate them.
Almost as much as Spurs.
@RB - I work with a guy named Rocky Patel. His real name is Rakesh
No, RBN, Man CIty is an embarrassment of riches.
"you're too stupid to have fun"
Road House starting now on VH1
nice work, HLACK
FB,
Get me some of his seegars.
DB,
Man City is just an embarrassment.
WTF??? DODGERS WIN 2 IN A ROW???
STOOPID TORRE. WITHOUT HIM, DODGERS WIN 10 IN A ROW!!!!11!!!!!
ROAD GOD DAMNED HOUSE!
I thought you'd be bigger, Spanky.
JANSEN GETS HIS FIRST WIN HOORAY FOR MEANINGLESS STATS
Now I get to watch USC.
RIP Jeff Healey
I will go temporarily blind tonight in honour of my boy Jeff Healey. *throws empty at a caged stage*
Wow, LaMichael James with a 72 yard rush.
@DB blind drunk I presume?
Everclear, a la Bushwick Bill, might help with that

a flavor of chip.
it tastes a little like a mcdonalds cheeseburger.
anyone remember taco supreme doritos? I miss those.
crazy. I am glad american chip companies are starting to work on new chip flavors instead of just repackaging the same 5 flavors in different shapes and textures
@MLASF 6:05
Sherrill is also the commissioner of the Dodgers' fantasy football league, so you guys have something in common.
Jackie Treehorn!
Don't make me like him.
oh fuck do i have to listen to petros?
nooooooooooooo
How does a brotha pull in some USC action off the internets right now?
Justin.tv usually has college games.
haha, USC band added "all i do is win" to their playlist.
nice
@DB you're in ACC country, right? No local TV for that?
atdhe.net has listings of the justin.tv feeds.
This isn't a good start.
meh, its virginia.
Fox PT has a rather bold yellow first down line.
They'll need a turnover to prevent Virginia from scoring.
or a crappy kicker.
ray ray, UVa
You could just tell he wouldn't hit the FG.
the new pac10 logo looks weird.
Good field position for SC. No excuses for not scoring on this drive.
Don't worry Nic, it'll be gone in two years.
@MLASF, im sure steve mason will have PLENTY of excuses.
Tyler got a generous push.
welp, there you go.
Aw dammit.
I don't know why they keep running fake handoffs on the first down.
These kids still haven't gotten the hang of the Tampa 2 yet.
FUCK YEAH INTERCEPTION
BRETT FAVRE!!
Last I checked Tyler was a pretty good runner. They might want to go with him to start the first down.
Dammit, the one time they give Tyler the ball and he does nothing.
two times and he did even less.
Lot of luck in this first quarter.
pain don't hurt
UV has a terrible O-line.
@FB
I have Stan v UCLA on the telly and pirate USC feed (thx to MLASF and Nic) on the 'puter.
More good field position.
@DB If you are in DC, I figured they'd have UVa showing there. Maybe they are too depressed after the VaTech poopfest
Sucks for Baxter.
and I think we need to stay as Bushwick Bill, at least through tomorrow.
Nice penalty.
pass interference?
uhhhh, ill take it.
@FB
No, in ORL, Florida.
They're going for it.
Stoopid penalties.
200
it seems like some of the cameras Prime is using tonight arent HD.
