COMMENTS: Surprise, Padres! You're exceeding expectations this season, thereby causing you to extend the 22-year-old Latos beyond initial projections. Latos threw 123 innings in 2009 (72.1 in the minors + 50.2 in the majors) and has already thrown 168 innings in 2010. The Verducci Effect posits that "pitchers under the age of 25 who have 30-inning increases year over year tend to underperform." So, as with Adrian Gonzalez, the Padres might be exchanging future worth in their chase for the 2010 playoffs. Make Latos throw a lot of pitches tonight, Dodgers!

Fun fact: The Dodgers have never won a game for which I have posted the line-up. Perhaps I should quit while I'm behind.
Well, that fact doesn't seem all that fun.
Well, they all have been since the all star break, so correlation does not necessarily imply causation.
After the season I should go through all the threads and compile a record of lineup postings.
Mr. C - I have not seen a loss in person in three years and I am going to the game tonight. One of us is going down.
"One of us is going down."
I think that was meant for the caption contest.
I'm sorry. Did someone say something?
I was busy on the mainpage wondering why that girl is holding a Latos jersey.
@rbn: To cover her boobs. Duh.
@LF
You are safe. Josh edged me out tonight. Last nights goes against my record.
Actually, I haven't attended a Dodger win since the before the Boston series, either. I did not attend a lost prior to that.
Clearly, the the universe is out of balance.
She's got kind of a "Stepford Wives" thing going on that I find unsettling.
You can't spell "Mat Latos" without "tatas."
"If I only had a vagina."
^er...nevermind.
what is the baseball equivalent of "outkicking your coverage"?
Mr F, I saw this and I just thought of you:
http://hipsterhitler.com/2010/09/at-the-doctors/
fun stuff, in that site.
Epale, everyone!
Just in case, Mr F I thought of you because you brought the subject a few days ago.
@Karina: I love the hipster hitler one called "typewriter". Nice!
Mr F has syphilis?
*quickly calls to make appointment with doctor*
I didn't even bring up the syphilis! At least I don't think so. I'm just the one that decided to look it up on wikipedia.
well according to HipsterHitler, everyone has it
You're hot. But I'm looking for someone with syphilis.
You're a hot piece of shellfish, but I'm a clam-idiot.
@Josh S 4:21p: that comment totally cracks me up. I can picture you saying it with the @__@ face!!!
I was the one that brought up the syphilis.
Yay. Successful Pavement reference at California Golden Blogs.
The Dodgers are so terrible that we'd rather talk about syphilis. Think about that.
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!
First inning and we're already in a bit of trouble
I do believe Josh has a spreadsheet on lineup postings, MLASF. Sad but true.
Giants are up big, so it may be up to the Dodgers to roll over here.
Hah, you missed it Eckstein, you tiny piece of shit!
Never mind, that's a final. Thanks for nothing, Cubbies.
"Thanks for nothing, Cubbies."
I wonder how many times that phrase has been uttered.
Kemp'd
Shitkemp'd.
Wait, is that Gibbons in the cleanup spot? Wow.
Kings' A-Team down 1-0 to Phoenix, but they have a power play.
Hmmm. Blogger issues? My last comment was eaten.
I thought everyone went quiet.
Damn you, Gwynn. Why can't you be a fat sack of shit like your dad?
Why do the Dodgers wait to retire someone's number until they enter the HoF? I believe Gil Hodges should be in the Hall, but that aside, what is stopping the team from retiring his number 14?
Nice story re Wide Eyes wearing that number to honour Hodges. And congrats to him for winning the Roy Campanella award this season.
Nah, I think it was just a rogue post
It's taking the team an abnormally long time to blow this game.
Dbags over Rox 7-2, bottom of 5th.
@Steve Sax 5:30 PM because you're a typography lover, great minds...
I feel like I have to check out because the Dodgers are winning.
Last time I saw the Dodgers win was when I met Dusty and Mr. C in person (or their stunt doubles).
Then I was nailed for a traffic ticket
The Dodgers demise soon
Then apparently Mr. F was nailed with an STD.
I wonder if I fucked up the universe in someway.
The Dodgers must have consumed the purple dino's heart last Sunday.
@Paul
Nope, that was us, in the flesh.
Seems like a long time ago!
Maybe in your universe, Paul. On Monday, I avoided a traffic ticket, policeman saw me crying and after asking me if I was far from my destination, he let me go.
I was 10 minutes away from my house, anyway.
Rancho Ardiendo!
I liked the part where Jenna Fischer was jumping up and down.
@MLASF re THE OFFICE sequence
I re-wound that a few times, myself.
@Dusty
we have aged much in Dodger years since then.
Fuck my DVR didn't record community!!? Plus my hick wireless card makes hulu watching a painful process.
*cries*
I'll take this run.
So which bullpen pitcher blows this one? 4:1 says Broxton, but Sherrill comes close at 9:2.
its weird how the only audio on the kings feed is from the house PA system.
They're not going to blow this game, Mr LASF.
wanna bet?
simmonds starting shit already. love that guy.
kings goal
Stoopid A-Team, took them long enough.
why are we trying to win this game and put the Giants back in first place???
I was really against the giants making it to the playoffs earlier but i doubt anyone is going to beat the Phils anyways.
How many media guys are starting to come out against DSBG?
haters gonna hate
Yesterday, Hernandez and Duran expressed contempt for him. Now Patrick O'Neal is bagging on him. When did everyone decide to hate him all of a sudden?
damn, the new scoreboard at staples is amazing.
Man. We may win, but that may not be good.
Good thing Houston lost or we would lose some ground in the reverse standings.
No wait, I want Houston to win! Damn you confusing draft order!
The Thrill is Gone - BB King
We just handed first back to the Giants.
DAMMIT
Holy Shit! A Win
*runs out the front door nekkid holding a trout
Full moon out, Spanky. Howl away.
I would like to thank the Rockies and D-Backs for being the only ones who stuck to my "Dodgers can still make the playoffs" scenario, despite the Dodgers and Giants fucking it up at the first possible opportunity.
I'm thinking of going to one of the last three games. I just don't know which yet.
@Nic J:
The screen at Staples is F'ing incredible.
@Josh
If you guys decide to go, I know a certain Board of Directors that is looking to settle their delinquent accounts…
We win. When does the blonde drop the jersey?
@Josh
Diane and Joyce and I will be at the game the last day of the season (October 3). Which is also our wedding anniversary. Party time!
You guys are still up? Well shoot, here's a PGT then.
*still running*
Spank! How far'd you get? Did you make it to Salton City?
Now drop the damn jersey already!!!
HaHa, Salton City. The colon of U.S. Them and Niland,Ca.
Damn Saxy, Get a hooker fool.
@Spanky: I did but she insists on holding up this damn jersey!
