Game 143 Thread: Sept 11 @ Astros, 4p

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!

Posey K and they get the pinch-runner at second on the same play. Padres re-take sole possession of first place.

Steve Sax said...

@Spanky: I'd say something back, but my throat's a little WHORES.

Steve Sax said...

Posey K and they get the pinch-runner at second on the same play. Padres re-take sole possession of first place.

spank said...

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.

Paul said...

karina said...

Is it me or is there a chance King James isn't feeling well and/or tired?

spank said...

karen said...

Epale Everyone!

karina said...

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.

spank said...

@ Karina

I would say it's because of a lack of something........hitting maybe the reason Loney is not playing.

karen said...

@karina...I was wondering if something might be up with King James, too.

karina said...

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.

karen said...

@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.

NicJ said...

JOE GOT THROWN OUT?!?

HE QUIT ON THE TEAM!!!

BLAH BLAH BLAH

karen said...

^Joe

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

DON MATTINGLY IS THE MANAGER GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER

NicJ said...

i hope the photographer moves away from the field mic. That shutter sound is annoying.

karina said...

what happened?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

ElyMania is dead. Just accept it.

karina said...

@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.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Outfield assist for Gibbons!

NicJ said...

The Say Jay Gib!!

meh, that nickname kinda sucks.

spank said...

Torre finally showed some sign of life eh. Ya pa que!

Steve Sax said...

I know it's 9/11, but these white caps are ridiculously lame.

Fred's Brim said...

agreed, Saxy

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I really wish they'd go back to using the dark blue caps from 2008.

NicJ said...

college football has been a little boring today.

well besides Mich beating ND.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Ohio State/Miami and Oklahoma/Florida State did not shape up the way I had wanted them to. But I like the outcomes.

Fred's Brim said...

looks a lot like Pedro Cerrano at bat

Fred's Brim said...

@Nic - I guess somebody had to win that one

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Lindsey hasn't worked out so well.

NicJ said...

Ore @ Tenn is in a lightning delay.

WHORES!

Steve Sax said...

Elymania

not Ely, but an incredible simulation.

Fred's Brim said...

GAARP is sitting in his living room, fuming

Steve Sax said...

Is it a little Wandy in here?

Fred's Brim said...

sorry, Sax. I had a big barrito for lunch today

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Stoopid lightning.

NicJ said...

errybody in da club gettin Wandy.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Everyone knows it's Wandy.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Remember everyone praising Washington and Jake Locker? Yeah, that's not working out so well.

karina said...

Ely is sharp tonight.

NicJ said...

NOOO. Dont let Syracuse win. We will have to hear about it forever from siciliano.

NicJ said...

cal just destroyed colo.

welcome to the Pac-10, punks.


(in 2012)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Anyone who votes for VT tomorrow will be stoned to death.

NicJ said...

Ely is looking pretty damn good tonight.

Oh, and he is pitching well too.

NicJ said...

LA BAMBA!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

NicJ I'm gonna to have this song stuck in my head for the rest of the night.

Kyle Baker said...

Sorry I'm late but:

La la la la la la la la la la Barba!

NicJ said...

Errybody on our club hitting wandy.

Josh S. said...

AY JAY!

Steve Sax said...

Wow, Houston sucks. AJ Ellis just got a RBI single.

3-0 LA

karina said...

Dusty, are you sound and safe in Orlando?

Kyle Baker said...

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).

spank said...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Wait a minute

Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Kyle Baker said...

Ps - Nic you are My personal Jesus and hero for the J-Kwon tipsy references. MVP! MVP!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I don't care for Eric Collins.

NicJ said...

how does he trip and still get a triple.

that kemp sure is good at baseball.

NicJ said...

cant stop, wont stop with the J-Kwon references.

Steve Sax said...

Gibbons did his best Manny impression with that misadventure in left field.

3-1 LA, Ely shaky.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

So let's see how the Dodgers lose this one.

NicJ said...

it doesnt seem like kemp sees the ball well in this place.

NicJ said...

i dont really care much about the rest of the season.

Just beat the giants.

Steve Sax said...

Ely is struggling again, three straight hits

3-2 LA

Steve Sax said...

All tied at 3 in the fifth.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

If we lose, we could take the Mets' spot in the draft order.

Just saying.

karina said...

there's no way the Dodgers are doing worse than the Mets.

Poor Delino

NicJ said...

haha, i was just looking at the reverse standings earlier today.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Eric Collins is unnaturally excited by balls hit off Wandy Rodriguez.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

If we lose, we jump from 16th to 14th as a result of Milwaukee's compensatory pick.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I guess this is why Lindsey has never made the big leagues.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm really whoring the thread, aren't I?

Steve Sax said...

I feel so alone.

NicJ said...

oregon's run defense looks terrible tonight.

spank said...

STOOPID ELY

I leave to get beer with a 3 run lead and now were tied. Party Pooper

spank said...

Whose watching North Dakota vs.Northern Illinois? Raise your hands Fools!

Nostradamus said...

*Okie content of thread increases by 1*

Epale, y'all.

I see we're not losing.

I approve!

spank said...

RUSS MITCHELL IS THE FUTURE OF ANOTHER ORGANIZATIONS MINOR LEAGUE SYSTEM

spank said...

Flat Breezy! Ladies and Gents

spank said...

Tennessee

Tennessee

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

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.

spank said...

I wonder if Torre's passing notes over to his pet.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

They text.

spank said...

Torre's so old, He uses the Pony Express.

Kyle Baker said...

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?

karina said...

It's a tied game!

they'll win this game, don't lose hope

NicJ said...

the vol's PA guy sounds a little bit like larry the cable guy.

Nostradamus said...

Hey, it's ol' Gordon Sumner!

spank said...

Can't Stand Losing................You

spank said...

Gibbons is doing alright

Lindsey I'll give a couple more chances

Mitchell-No Comment

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I hope they lose this game. I want to jump up two draft spots.

Josh S. said...

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!"

Josh S. said...

^the Bay Area & Giants'

Kyle Baker said...

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.

Kyle Baker said...

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.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

STOOPID DODGERS LOSE THIS GAME DAMMIT

Fred's Brim said...

woohoo!
something good happened to the Dodgers!

Josh S. said...

WOW! That was Dodger-like.

Kyle Baker said...

Johnson scored!

He says with a wry grin.

Fred's Brim said...

@DB I am getting it on the dotTeeVee

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

Doesn't MLB.tv black out based on your account location, not your physical location?

Kyle Baker said...

Woo hoo! Free runs!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Only the Dodgers could suck at sucking.

Nostradamus said...

Whoo-hoo

Not only not losing, but actually winning!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I don't know why Astro fans are giving a Bronx cheer, they should be used to Houston's poor play.

Kyle Baker said...

@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.

spank said...

I'm gonna go and grill some abused chickens.

I bet Dem Bums blow this while I'm away

karina said...

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!

rbnlaw said...

ROCKY PATEL IS THE FUTURE OF MY SMOKING!!

Kyle Baker said...

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?

rbnlaw said...

By the way,
Odelay, whores!


I was watching a yawner, and a Dodger game broke out.

Nostradamus said...

Cheers Karina!

rbnlaw said...

Don't none of youse tell me about the Arsenal game, either. I have it DVR'd.

Screw Chelsea (at this point).

Kyle Baker said...

RBN, don't be dissin' me lads!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Geoff Blum is still in baseball?

Kyle Baker said...

Heh...Ackbar...

http://twitpic.com/2nkzlj

rbnlaw said...

1/2 hour to UCLA football!1

rbnlaw said...

DB,
Chelsea is an embarrassment of riches.

I hate them.

Almost as much as Spurs.

Fred's Brim said...

@RB - I work with a guy named Rocky Patel. His real name is Rakesh

Kyle Baker said...

No, RBN, Man CIty is an embarrassment of riches.

Fred's Brim said...

"you're too stupid to have fun"

Road House starting now on VH1

Fred's Brim said...

nice work, HLACK

rbnlaw said...

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!!!!!

Kyle Baker said...

ROAD GOD DAMNED HOUSE!

I thought you'd be bigger, Spanky.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

JANSEN GETS HIS FIRST WIN HOORAY FOR MEANINGLESS STATS

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Now I get to watch USC.

Fred's Brim said...

RIP Jeff Healey

Kyle Baker said...

I will go temporarily blind tonight in honour of my boy Jeff Healey. *throws empty at a caged stage*

NicJ said...

Wow, LaMichael James with a 72 yard rush.

Fred's Brim said...

@DB blind drunk I presume?
Everclear, a la Bushwick Bill, might help with that

Fred's Brim said...

@DB blind drunk I presume?
Everclear, a la Bushwick Bill, might help with that

NicJ said...

a flavor of chip.

it tastes a little like a mcdonalds cheeseburger.

NicJ said...

anyone remember taco supreme doritos? I miss those.

Fred's Brim said...

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

Josh S. said...

@MLASF 6:05

Sherrill is also the commissioner of the Dodgers' fantasy football league, so you guys have something in common.

Fred's Brim said...

Jackie Treehorn!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Don't make me like him.

NicJ said...

oh fuck do i have to listen to petros?

nooooooooooooo

Kyle Baker said...

How does a brotha pull in some USC action off the internets right now?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Justin.tv usually has college games.

NicJ said...

haha, USC band added "all i do is win" to their playlist.

nice

Fred's Brim said...

@DB you're in ACC country, right? No local TV for that?

NicJ said...

atdhe.net has listings of the justin.tv feeds.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This isn't a good start.

NicJ said...

meh, its virginia.

NicJ said...

Fox PT has a rather bold yellow first down line.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

They'll need a turnover to prevent Virginia from scoring.

NicJ said...

or a crappy kicker.

Fred's Brim said...

ray ray, UVa

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

You could just tell he wouldn't hit the FG.

NicJ said...

the new pac10 logo looks weird.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Good field position for SC. No excuses for not scoring on this drive.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Don't worry Nic, it'll be gone in two years.

NicJ said...

@MLASF, im sure steve mason will have PLENTY of excuses.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Tyler got a generous push.

NicJ said...

welp, there you go.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Aw dammit.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I don't know why they keep running fake handoffs on the first down.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

These kids still haven't gotten the hang of the Tampa 2 yet.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

FUCK YEAH INTERCEPTION

NicJ said...

BRETT FAVRE!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Last I checked Tyler was a pretty good runner. They might want to go with him to start the first down.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Dammit, the one time they give Tyler the ball and he does nothing.

NicJ said...

two times and he did even less.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Lot of luck in this first quarter.

Fred's Brim said...

pain don't hurt

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

UV has a terrible O-line.

Kyle Baker said...

@FB

I have Stan v UCLA on the telly and pirate USC feed (thx to MLASF and Nic) on the 'puter.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

More good field position.

Fred's Brim said...

@DB If you are in DC, I figured they'd have UVa showing there. Maybe they are too depressed after the VaTech poopfest

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Sucks for Baxter.

Fred's Brim said...

and I think we need to stay as Bushwick Bill, at least through tomorrow.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Nice penalty.

NicJ said...

pass interference?

uhhhh, ill take it.

Kyle Baker said...

@FB

No, in ORL, Florida.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

They're going for it.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Stoopid penalties.

Kyle Baker said...

200

NicJ said...

it seems like some of the cameras Prime is using tonight arent HD.
