Chad Billingsley (11-9, 3.65) vs. Matt Cain (11-10, 3.19).
COMMENTS: Matt Cain tends to use the upper part of the strike zone more than most other pitchers. That said, he has a decent amount of wild pitches, including a league-total 12 in 2007. So why do we think that against the Dodger staff tonight, he'll be aiming low? Cain?
This Dodgers team--who stands to further crush their archrival's postseason hopes by beating them in the second game of the three-game series--only eked out a single hit yesterday, depending instead on a stellar shutout pitching performance from Clayton Kershaw to give them the victory. Cain needn't worry about the dangerous pitch in the dirt if no Dodger can get on base in the first place. Expect Cain to outduel Bills in a squeaker.

NESN has a rumor saying Ethier would welcome a trade to Boston. The funny part is all the trade fodder being tossed around, most of which center on Dice-K. People in Boston know we're poor, right?
Nice stretch, Reed Richards.
Yes, that makes perfect sense! This team has a veritable smorgasbord of offense! What we need is some overpriced starting pitchers.
Let's just ignore the fact that he's overpriced and not very good too.
Actually, let's not.
I say we trade for some HGH.
Dingers!
Dingers!
I saw trade Ethier for Juan Pierre. At least he knows how to win.
Epale everyone!
I don't get the pun
@Mr LASF did you really see that?
Karina, I don't know if I get it myself.
On top of that, Locane's recent vehicular fatality incident is kind of a bummer.
If you start, then perpetuate a trade rumor, it won't necessarily come true. Sorry choudah heads.
*starts rumor about trading for a power hitting 3rd baseman*
Woops, that's a typo. I meant "say."
Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
Yanks are losing. Suck it Bishes. You too Tio.
Is it me or did Locane get old fast. Too much Whiskey,Wine and Cocaine
Her Too!
Quiet.
Too quiet.
@FerAlvarezESPN Giants pitchers have the best ERA of the MLB in September with 1.68 (starters 2.18 and relievers 0.32)
FUCK
THE
GIAAAAAAANNNNNTS!
GIANTS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's...troubling.
@Mr C:
The ERA or the Giant-fucking?
Psycho: "[Kershaw]'s become a pitcher this year."
Yeah, he was a shitty left fielder.
if Sax isn't sure to get the pun, it's all right then
Epale everyone!!
Frisco's mascot looks like a rat. How appropriate is that?!
Josh S.
The ERA, but now that you mention it…
Hi, Karen!
Let's all get our "BEAT FRISCO" chant going
Come on Frenchy. Do something
3-1 to Furcal seems like it's always a setup for a groundout.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
YOU CAN'T BEAT ANYONE IN THE FIRST INNING, LA OR OTHERWISE!!!
Dodgers fail to score in the first.
FRISCO SUCKS!
FRISCO SUCKS!
I've got a bad feeling about this posey at bat
Saxy, Don't be bringing the bad mojo or we'll vote you out next time.
RANCHO FATBASTARDIENDO!
No likey.
C'mon Chad, get Fatty.
Tighten your britches Thigh boy
Siddown, sandwich boy.
Nice swing Panda
Go eat some vegetables PIG!
Yeah Bills! Kant spell KFP without the K
Panda K!
At least Gibbons swung....I guess
Damn, were finally putting some stick on the ball, but they're not dropping.
King James singles!
(go King, I've developed an irrational fear you'll be traded by next midseason)
"Damn, were finally putting some stick on the ball, but they're not dropping."
I believe the doctors said the same thing regarding Hitler.
Damn you, Mike Godwin.
Fold
Bills!
Ha! "Thick-legged pitcher" - Vin
Vin called Bills Thighmaster
Not really but I would like to think he would.
Fuck slicing fly balls.
There will be a combined total of three runs scored during this entire series.
So, Guillermo Celis says Barajas has been an important late addition to the Dodgers due to Russell's Martin injury and Fernando Alvarez replies there are lots of rumors that the Dodgers want to keep Barajas.
:_(
Karina's going to have a hard offseason since Loney is going to the Indians,her son the Royals and her fantasy teams upcoming losing streak.
Do it Dre. Do something.
Dre Day!!
Nice catch against Oyster Pubes
Pitching duel.
Did I fart? where the hell did everyone go?
Fucking KKemp! Instead of pimping out Crooks & Castle you should pimp out a basehit.
@spanky
1. Possibly.
2. Making a sandwich. Well, at least I was.
Either the four pitchers that have started are really good, or the offenses involved are really terrible. I get the sense it's the latter.
IF ONLY WE HAD GOOD STARTING PITCHING WE'D BE LEADING THE DIVISION BY 30 GAMES!
@josh s
Maybe we should trade for Matsuzaka. The Red Sox pay him a truckload of cash, so he must be really good.
Sorry, a Dodger Talk caller hacked my account.
@karina
I don't know that Barajas coming back would have an effect one way or the other on Martin's status.
Hey, hey, it's the monkey!
That's the way to shut those idiots up, Gibby!!
thanks Gibby! was it me or someone else stopped breathing?
Left Field Monkey Business
@Spanky but at least I can control my fantsay team. I can't control any decision over my son or King James.
That's why you can't have a favorite player in your favorite team.
^fantasy
Mind your bizness Torre. Go back to sleep.
Matt Kemp is amazing.
It's going to fall apart now
This isn't looking good.
Fuck Yeah!
one more puhlease
Whew!
GIANTS SUCK! GIANTS SUCK! GIANTS SUCK!
Wow. 6 hits in this contest so far.
A real ball burner.
I miss Dusty.
D'ya think the voters in Delaware voted for this O'Donnell gal because she looks like Palin?
Just askin.
Ethier hits. Trade with BoTox cancelled.
Whatever. Cliff Lee would be holding Frisco to like, -1 runs.
Epale from my apartment!
@rb
Re: O'Donnell
That's a distinct possibility. But I think the fact that she's nuts resonates with the voters more.
Mr. F, man of leisure!
@Mr C re my son: I know but he's gonna be a catalyzer
Can we trade Loney to Delaware?
Epale Mr.F!
Mr F did you have proper rest?
Did you follow the advice given to you this morning?
@k
I just want Russ to get healthy and regain some focus.
They were playing Iron Man on the stadium organ
We might be able to trade Loney FOR Delaware.
Do it, Ned. Delaware has great upside and a solid glove.
We're talking about Delaware Willis, right?
Piss.
CRAP!
Of Course! Damn
Bloop RBI, 1-0 Giants. Game over.
Stoopid Fontenot.
Orel, it ain't over 'till it's over
I was thinking the whole state. Think of the parking revenues, Frank!
We CANNOT let Chadley down here.
Sack up, Dodgers!
Imagine, using an entire state as collateral. It's making Fidelity Investments salivate right now.
If I could, I'd hug you for what you say about my son, Mr C.
you understand!
Up Next:
Strikeout
Flyout
Strikeout
Dodgers bats: win for Bills!
and Kershaw and Kuroda...
perhaps if we tried some of that, how do you say it, offense? it's just a theory, but i hear it's working out for some ball clubs in the american league. though, i hear it possibly causes erections lasting up to 4 hours.
I don't like this.
I had a decent rest. I got back too late to have a great rest, but it was not bad. I spent my afternoon relaxing on the couch. I am currently eating a garlic parmesan chicken wing while watching Pulp Fiction on TV and checking in on the game.
I just heard this on TV:
"I really think Sandoval is still overweight"
No way! how come?
that was fast, Romo
Couldn't have seen that coming.
Didn't we designate Sherrill, like, two months ago? Fucking leave already.
I know it's a cliche, but this team Has no heart.
No doubt.
This isn't very fun
It's about to get as ugly as Susan Boyle
This team makes me dislike baseball.
Un-fun, even.
That fucking clown Wilson warming.
Is it possible that this team actually destroys fun?
I don't like how Brian Wilson is the best closer in the NL, but he is, and we're screwed because of it.
Pretty much so, MLASF
It's not a shutout!
Ha!
It's a tease, but I'll take it.
Take that, bizarre evil Brian Wilson
Huh.
a good start.
We really could have used that for one of the times we had a man on base.
We did have a man on base at some point during this game, right?
Come on fucking Monkey Shines
Bollocks.
balls.
Thanks for gibbon us nothing.
@Mr F @Spanky Breakfast at Tiffany's just started on TV.
Dead Souls - Nine Inch Nails.
Thanks for the suggestion Karina but Dirty Harry did the trick besides B.A.T.'s not my style. I need violence to help me sleep at night.
