Chad Billingsley (11-10, 3.55) vs. Clayton Richard (12-8. 3.70).
COMMENTS: With our 151st game, it's definitely time to break out the 151-proof liquor and consider getting absolutely sloshed--to hold a wake for what could be our mathematical elimination this evening (should San Francisco beat the hapless Cubs, and we lose tonight). Given the two distasteful options of having the Padres, our opponent tonight, advance to the postseason, versus the Giants, I'd definitely be rooting for our southern divisional rivals. So with all due respect to Chadley, let's not give him any run support and hopefully stick him with a quality start no decision (pinning the loss on a Dodger reliever), shall we? I'll drink to that.

Fair enough for me as well.
For fun, I worked up a scenario where the Dodgers make the postseason. It's HIGHLY implausible (even with healthy doses of Venezuelan Positivity), but I will laugh my ass off it happens.
Explain.
^if it happens
It's way too complex to type up on an iPhone, but step one is the Dodgers go 12-0, so...yeah.
They won 11 straight once! It can happen!
(cries)
Hey, I'm the crier here!
SoSG 2010, where readers fight over who gets to cry.
(cries)
Can't we all cry together?
At my mother-in-law's place, Vinny!
Is that not what wakes are for?
Translate THAT, ya little bastard.
Dead in here. Must be watching glee.
Rafa singles extending our season
It's been dead all day.
Ackbar walks extending our season
Ethier moves Raffy to 3rd!!! ....by GIDP-ing.
Ethier will have none of that.GIDP. Season over.
See what you did Mr.F
Kemp'd
I'm focusing my energies tonight on amusing MLB novels.
So you don't want me to comment?!?!?!!
(cries)
What are you reading? the life story of Greg Brock.
I was playing Mr. F. (cries)
Damn were all sensitive today.
Well, we're not losing yet.
Giants and Cubs 0-0 in the sixth
rox losing to snakes
Thanx for that update Saxy. Don't know what we would do without ya.
I'm going to hang out here. A couple of knuckleheads are clogging my Twitter feed.
Alright Bills. End it here
IT AMUSES ME
I'm just annoyed because I can't think of a good one.
CHAD BILLINGSLEY IS THE FUTURE OF THE BOSTON RED SOX
I'm particularly proud of "The Autobiography of Maholm X."
its way to close to lakers training camp for me to even care about that anymore.
Also, KINGS PRESEASON TOMORROW!!!!
I can't imagine who you're referring to, Josh...
I'M SUCH A TWITTER WHORE :o
Kemp'd
uh oh i think dylan found a new twitter joke.
#YAM
Posey!! asshole!!
Vincent Jackson is still going to be in lockout. Dumb bastard.
151! Love it!
*mixes a zombie*
if jackson plays at all this year i have a feeling he will be ineffective for quite a while.
Got the Jameson's ready for the wake, Vinny!
How the fuck do you hit Eckstein? It's like throwing a football through a tire at 300 yards.
Jackson's not going to play at all this season. He thinks he can play hardball with A.J. Smith and he can't.
If we're eliminated tonight, will Torre finally announce his plans for next year?
(I'm gunning for Ken Gurnick's job.)
i think the chargers may just deal him.
if only we had some GIF's right now so we could see what was wrong with chad.
Wednesday's the deadline. Only suitor was Minnesota, and Schefter says they've reached an agreement with Hank Baskett. A deal won't happen.
Great job Bills. I like that shit
cant even beat the team that is choking away their season.
@Josh, etc. re Gurnick
In the 1983 Dodgers program my mother unearthed, there was an article by Ken Gurnick. He was writing for some San Gabriel Valley publication at the time, and it was published in the program I didn't realize he'd been around that long.
Well, this one's over. Even MDIL is calling for GLEE instead of the game now.
where is baskett going?
JUST FUCKING HIT SOMEONE, HARD!
Vikings.
@Nic
Hell, maybe? In a handbasket.
ah, so the season is already over for the vikings.
I hate Brett Favre.
Sweet mother shit those new Burger King breakfast ads are putrid. It makes me want to stick a plunger up a nun's arse. Are people really marching down the street to their local BK to order breakfast? Is the idea of breakfast at a fast food restaurant that revolutionary in this day and age?
I'm dropping Campbell for Bradford.
ELIMINATION IMMINENT
i actually have a lot of favorable matchups this week.
I will need them. P Ditty scares me.
Monostat 37 is pitching
Giants did their part.
Last out. Jints won.
HIT THAT TINY LITTLE FUCKER!!!!
Carlos Santana(the guitarist)is whoring the shit out of himself. That's a shame.
@Spanky
That's so different from other modern rockers. #U2 #Aerosmith #Stones
the most disappointing part of the season is the lack of a veteran presence in the clubhouse.
Why the hell are Monny and Jansen not wearing tooth fairy costumes? Where is the rookie hazing?
Dodgers: The McCourts will attempt to reach a settlement later this week thru a court-appointed mediator. Details to come at Yahoo.
- T Brown
Even though we haven't lost yet, we're eliminated because the Giants and Pods play each other at the end of the year.
Also, we're eliminated because we played terrible baseball this year.
Santana has not been modern since 1971, unless you count the song "Winning"
The previous comment shold have been in quotation marks,BTW.
HUge divorce news.
No offense to Tim Brown, but I'll believe it when I see it.
@Spank
Modern in the sense that they were one big, and have stuck around and tried to keep rockin'. So Santana is very much one of them in that category.
Plus, didn't Santana make a comeback and win a Grammy or some shit a few years back?
so when does the divorce trial to separate dodger fans and the mccourts start?
Interesting. Perhaps they should have considered doing that before they displayed their spectacular idiocy to the world.
Ummmmm we suck.
Pass me a drink.
I was also kidding, Spanky.
If Frank didn't want to look like an idiot he never should have bought the damn team in the first place.
Anyboby want Vick?
I might trade him for liquor and a kicker.
Liquor and a kicker is also going to be my teams new name.
@ Dusty
True. I'm just pissed that he is getting pimped around by Clive Davis.
We cry because we care. Losing to the Padres is not the worst case, but it still sucks.
@Nic
don't you think playing for the Dodgers right now is enough hazing for the kids?
Rumor has it the mediator is Grady Little.
Don't start with the waterfalls yet Mr.F.
Games not over yet.(Technically speaking of course)
Grady Little would mediate the two, but he's too busy waiting for Pedro Martinez to hand him the ball.
Ellis may be playing Jmart out of a job.
probably not though
Fuck Russ Mitchell already.
I'm on my ass drinking Thai beer and yelling at the TV screen, and I'm playing JMart out of a job.
Fucking Dodgers are making me want to smoke some of that tide stick like Cheech
So Mediation!! Judge gave the come to Jesus talk.

Congrats to STOOPID TORRE, the deity Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier's pinky, Russell Martin and his inability to slide, Manny and his long-lost power, Casey Blake's tin glove, Loney's GIDP's with RISP, and, of course, Frank and Jamie fucking McCourt; without whom, none of this would be possible.
Thinking of lifting my Tuesday drinking ban.
Ken Levine making a pathetic attempt at humor? NO!
I didn't expect the end of the season to feel like this. I was expecting more dry humping from the Phillies.

am i the only one who doesnt watch glee?
I blame the ghost of Russ Ortiz.
I don't watch Glee.
Seemed like everyone did
I can stand about 5 minutes of Glee.
To each his own.
Boardwalk Empire was worth my hype. I hyped it big in a bar last week. Those two extra viewers really helped.
Im not knocking it.
Just always felt a little left out.
never watched it. figured was in the high school musical vein. Boardwalk Empire was badass.
@Spanky
You know that line in PULP FICTION where Samuel Jackson says that his girlfriend is a vegetarian, so that pretty much makes him a vegetarian?
Same concept in my household, except with GLEE not a hamburger.
I do like the show, for the record.
Spanks,
How could I forget Furcal's back. . .no he's not. . .yes he is. . .no he's not.
I also forgot Broxton's stamina, Bellisario's drinking, Troncoso's control, GAARP, the Ortiz brothers, the Tattooed Lady, and Jack Taschner.
Anyone else?
@ Dusty
Not knocking it. My brother's and sister's family watch Glee like religion and on get togethers I'm outside drinking alone while they yap away about it inside. HaHa

The article should really read:
Struggling LATimes Writer Forgets Deadline, Pulls Crap Out of Ass to Appease Editor
http://lat.ms/d6YKWl
"Shouldn't Frank McCourt fire you for going after another job while still employed here?"
"That's their prerogative," Torre said, and by "their," he must believe both Frank and Jamie own the Dodgers. That will surely get him fired.
EXCELLENT WORK, SIMERS. WAY TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES. THAT'S CLEARLY WHAT TORRE MEANT. THERE'S NO WAY THERE COULD BE ANY OTHER MEANING BEHIND IT. AND DON'T EVEN BOTHER ASKING A FOLLOW UP QUESTION. YOU'RE JUST TOO SMART TO BOTHER WITH THAT SORT OF NEWBIE JOURNALISM FUNDAMENTAL SHIT. YOU'RE THE BEST, BABY.
I clicked through the link long enough to see who wrote it. That was all the information I needed.
post-game toast up!
As a good friend, I heard him out.
THAT'S WHAT GOOD FRIENDS DO, SIMERS. THEY PUBLISH SHIT IN THE LATIMES ABOUT HOW THEY WANT THEIR FRIENDS TO BE FIRED. NOTHING BUT CLASS FROM YOU, YOU OVERWEIGHT, OVERPAID, UNDER-THINKING JACKASS.
