Post-Game 139 Thread: Sub-.500

PADRES 2, DODGERS 1

Googling "sub 500", to commemorate the Dodgers' first dip below breakeven levels since May 11, came up with some funny results; however, the tagline on this D-movie poster says it all. Alas, at least tonight's offensive ineptitude (no Dodger had more than one hit; Andre Ethier went 0-for-4 with 3 Ks and Rafael Furcal and James Loney tallied two Ks each) kept the Padres one game ahead of the stinkin' Giants, who won again tonight. I don't know if the Dodgers are trying to torpedo the end of Joe Torre's career, but they're certainly doing their damndest to make a solid depth charge.

NicJ said...

Josh S. said...

Dive! Dive!

AOOGA! AOOGA!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Nothing can curse the Grimace - er, I mean, Drew Brees.

Nostradamus said...

I see the Cthulhu reference from last night was eerily prescient.

Josh S. said...

I want to know where they keep getting mattresses to set on fire.

Nostradamus said...

@Josh

Larry and Irwin are amongst the looters.

Josh S. said...

BURN DUST MITES BURN

NicJ said...

@MLASF, thats what Daunte Culpepper, Marshall Faulk, Michael Vick, Ray Lewis, Donovan McNabb, Shaun Alexander, Vince Young, Brett Favre, Troy Polamalu, and Larry Fitzgerald all said.


CURSE CURSE CURSE

Eric the Ice King said...

Must be an enterprising entrepreneur to be specializing in snocone/mattress sales at a protest.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Favre was only fucked up for that one season with the Jets.

Besides, HE'S FUCKING DREW FUCKING BREES.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

YOU'RE RIOTING AGAINST ME, LARRY

Kyle Baker said...

@Josh

What the hell is it with impoverished, urban residential areas where there are always stacks of old mattresses discarded in the front yards of residents?

Kyle Baker said...

Those mattresses are FREEEEEEE!

Greg Zakwin said...

@dodgerthoughts Since holding the best record in the NL with a 36-24 record on June 9, the Dodgers are 33-46, 26th in the majors.

NicJ said...

plus a cursed brees helps me. I need the saints to turn into a run first offense featuring only Pierre Thomas or im screwed.

enough of that baseball nonsense.

we are talking about flaming mattresses and the madden curse right now.

we can be depressed later.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That was right before getting raped by the Angels. My first game of the season.

I DOOMED THE TEAM. I'M A MONSTER!!!!!

NicJ said...

BONSTER!!!

spank said...

Karina trade me your Saints D for Mike Wallace( the football player not the 60 minutes guy)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

But the Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes has so much upside.

karina said...

I still don't quit on this team. I can't

spank said...

He wasn't in the draft. Was He?

spank said...

QUIT QUIT QUIT

NicJ said...

you had your chance spank, they were on waivers.

I claimed them but i felt bad and dropped them.

equality my ass if that was anyone else i would have kept them.

Steve Sax said...

@Josh S 9:54p / Mr C 9:56p.:

YOU'RE (both) KILLING ME, LARRY!

Nice set up and spike, dudes

spank said...

I'm gonna put a claim on Tampa's D

Kyle Baker said...

6th street in the mix. I literally work on 6th street. What a mess.

I rarely take up for LAPD, and don't of course endorse their shooting to kill a person who was only wielding a knife, but the bike officer was confronting a person who had a bloody knife ho had threatened a pregnant lady and others just before the confrontation. So he was protecting the very same population that is now rioting over the fact that the vagrant was killed.

Glad I'm not in law enforcement or interpretation.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

He was ranked right around Tim Tebow.

Steve Sax said...

Dusty, don't fret. If you get tired at work tomorrow, you can rest and take a nap on a burnt-out mattress.

NicJ said...

PROTECT PROTECT PROTECT

Kyle Baker said...

@Sax

That possibility existed BEFORE these riots.

Theriot, this is all your fault!

Steve Sax said...

No Justice, No Sealy, Serta, Springair, Simmons, Chattam and Wells, or Miralux

Josh S. said...

I'm gonna see if I can get a free riot snocone at lunch tomorrow.

Mmmm...riot snocone.

NicJ said...

@Josh, just dont hold it over your head or you might get taken out.

Kyle Baker said...

Oh sweet jesus that was funny Sax. That made my night.

Kyle Baker said...

@Neeebs, SSS

Turn off the shower already!

NicJ said...

we should plan a SOSG dodger funeral this year.

Paul said...

They are recalling the Kemp, Eithier dolls. They have a high amounts of sucksophilia. Oh and lead.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Paul - The irony of the Dodgers having lead.

Josh S. said...

RT @dylanohernandez "Ok"

spank said...

The question is.....

Who dropped the soap?

Kyle Baker said...

@Nic

Kegger at Hollywood Forever Cemetery?

Paul said...

Jesus how many businesses go bankrupt??? But running Government like a business is the simple soluition for everything these days.

Paul said...

Oops sorry that was meant to be a tweet @Jesus.

NicJ said...

@DB, i was thinking more along the lines of rolling down to westlake and lighting some mattresses on fire.

Kyle Baker said...

@Nic

Maybe that's what's actually going on in Westlake. Not that far from DS, you know. They're just declaring the season over.

Nostradamus said...

@Paul

I seem to remember that being a campaign slogan somewhere else…how'd it turn out?

karina said...

@NicJ thank you very much! you have helped a lot these couple of days!

p.s you understand the real "equality" tip of the hat for you!

NicJ said...

@Karina, De Nada.

Steve Sax said...

@Dusty Baker 10:20p: that isn't a bad idea.

let me talk to Orel. Interesting...

spank said...

Beds are Burning-Midnight Oil

Jimbo said...

The Dodgers are worse than El Paso salsa.

Steve Sax said...

Hot or mild?

Fred's Brim said...

Neeebs (The Original) said...

@DB:

I'm still trying to find the soap. I've looked everywhere. Well...almost everywhere.

MR.F said...

Hey, Kemp didn't strike out.
