Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Tommy Hanson (10-11, 3.33) vs. Matt Cain (13-11, 3.14).
COMMENTS: The only thing making the Braves' two hits off Tim Lincecum look reasonable? The Reds' zero hits off Roy Halladay. The Braves should be Abel to muster a few more knocks against Cain, but Jason Heyward needs to make some noise in order to bolster his ROY credentials in the court of public opinion. Maybe he can fool an umpire into making the wrong call or something.

I agree, Mr LASF. If that rule is instituted, I can imagine 5-hour 9-inning games. I love extra-innings but games that long might reduce my baseball consumption to one a day ;)

Son of Scooby! Didn't know about this thread.
Scrappy Doo is in fact Scooby's nephew. Damn.
Yeah, I don't think Scoob ever procreated, did he?
According to his wikipedia page, no. But he has had his love interests.
speaking of which
Nice one, Orel. But no pics of Scooby's myriad of love interests?
Amber, Dusk, Chiquita, Googy, Sandy Duncan, Jeannie, Sled dog, and Miyumi!
Who knew Scooby had a case of canine yellow fever!!
This blog is starting to turn into a freaking pet store.
The best damned pet store in town!
Magilla Gorilla at Mr. Peebles pet store.
Now that was a pet store.
But then again, only RBN is old enough to remember that one. I think.
Greetings Boys and Girls
I'm feeling too much love in here what with talk of The Scoob and pet shops and all.
Embrace your HATE people. Tonite the Bravos need all of our hate juju focused on the evil Gnats!!!
Those orange jerseys look ridiculous
Hooray!! Gnats down at 3rd and home plate!
You got knocked the fuck out Oyster Pubes
What's up Karen
Yo Karen!
I feel like saying "Greetings" or "hello" isn't hate-y enough.
Hey Spank & MrF!!
I'm feelin' your hate!!!
What is this? Alternate jersey night.
HATEHATEHATE
Tommy Hanson from my hometown of Redlands. That's good enough for me to ratchet up the HATE another degree.
Fucking Sandoval.What a a fucking drama queen all thrown on the ground
I hate Pat Burrell
great
Dear Braves
What the fuck, are you going to put up a fight or not?
Sincerely
SoSG Sax
Ok everyone, since Karina isn't here, I'll step outside of my hate for a moment to remind us all to take a deep breath and remember it's only the 2nd inning.
Kick some dirt on the umps shoe Cox
I need one of my playoff picks to win one game. I haven't ran naked with a fish in a long time and I'm yearning for it.
@Spank--When the Braves comeback and win this, what kind of fish are you going to run with tonite?
What frightens me most about Big Fat Panda?
(size)
@ karen
That gets decided at the very last second in order to draw inspiration from the comments (like sharktopus)
Except for the trout. That one was already in the bag.
Well crap.
Dear Braves,
Fuck.
MR. F
Flyout double play.
We Make Party!
We have to have higher standards than that, Spanky. This isn't the Dodgers we're talking about.
How can the baseball gods do this to us after what we've been through already this season??
Might as well Mr.F. There has been nothing to celebrate the last couple days
*Channeling Karina*
One run at a time Bravos. One run at a time.
FUCK SHIT ASS BITCH FUCK!!!
Some team I fucking hate is going to win the World Series. (Or maybe the Rangers, who I'm indifferent about.) Why even bother watching?
Gnat fans are so stupid, they have to be told when to shake their rags.
YAY! A Gnat strikeout!
*Baby steps*
The ball got kept in the infield.
We Make Mega-Party!!
Mute Time
Oh for fucks sake this isn't watchable.
Indeed.
C'mon Bravos, time to nut up
Do something Ankiel you crazy armed bastard
A single! A single!! :)
Come on Fuckers.We need some runs
What the hell am I doing home on a Friday night watching the goddam Giants go up 2-0?
Getting drunk, that's what!
Come on Heyward! Work your magic!
double play coming up
Freddie Brim ruining the inning
Thanks dude!
"Beat ATL" signs? Really? Is that the best the SF Comical could do?
Greetings FB!!
sorry everybody.
If that makes you leave the house early to get your drank on, you can thank me later
hi karen!
the only thing enjoyable about this game is the ads for the Crystal Caves. I want to go there
Sigh. This is terrible.
siddown, Michael Cera haircut
Actually I'm going to go get my grub on. Be back to see the rest of this injustice
these spring training uniforms are pathetic
spanky, get mini sirloin burgers!
I fell asleep...
Epale everyone! have faith after all, they're wearing orange jerseys like their Aguilas counterparts.
Results? no championships
is the Braves hat even blue? it looks black
hi karina!
what is Coper doing in that picture?
Yay!! Karina's here!
Epale Karina. We've been being very brave and trying to be positive. Let's hope you brought lotsa luck!!
Epale Karina!
Well, mostly Karen's been trying to be brave and positive. The rest of us have been our usually doomy and gloomy selves.
ahhh it's the pumpkins vs the garbage bags!
Pat the skillet!
It was taken last Sunday, after he went to a March for human rights. He was very hot, so my mom took away his shirt and shoes. My sister-in-law and I were in the back of my dad's truck, so he hit the window so they opened it from him.
It's important to notice how Coper and Jaco (my sister-in-law Yorkie) were in the cabin and we were outside and do not minding at all :)
Go Braves! you can do this!
Braves scored?!
SUPER MEGA PARTY!!!!
I'm so proud of you, Karen. Way to go, my SoSG sister!
we want Mota!
^took off is the right phrasal verb
hehe Coper's naked!!!
One fucking run, come on Braves you wimps
SF fans are conferring over Chardonnay, trying to figure out how to pronounce "beat ATL"
@Saxy--The only chant they know is Beat LA
these stinking Braves are going to turn me into Phillies fans, aren't they?
god why am I watching baseball anymore?
"Beat Attle!"
Al Attles, watch out!
@FB--Please don't become a Pillies fan :(
If I have to, I'll root for the Yankees in the WS
^Phillies
I know, karen, I know. I just don't know what to do :(
@FB--It really makes for an anti-climactic season. First your team sucks, then your two most hated rivals are probably going to duel it out for the NLCS. The only thing we can do if that happens is become American league fans.
@Fred's Brim hahahaha, that's right, he always wear a shirt and shoes when he's out ;)
@karen I thought the exact same thing, I'd rather root for the Yankees, at the end, it's in my blood too ;)
go Rangers?
FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKING GIANTS PIECES OFF SHIT GET A BROOMSTICK AND SHOVE IT ALL THE WAY UP THERE
@FB--I'll go for that
up where?
go CJ Wilson? just kidding!
Spanky's home!!
I feel much much better now thank you very much.
@karen, it's either that or the asteroid
I misspelled of
TOO MUCH HATE
C'mon Jason. At least make an arguement for ROTY
@spanky, the extra F was for FUCK YOU GIANTS!
ack
he was more rotty than ROTY
Heyward sucks. Rookie of the year.
RRRRRRIIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHHHTTTTTTT
Right on FB
Heyward is not having a good first playoff series.
When did Kung Fu Puto become a switch hitter?
Nice one, Spanky.
I hate every fuckin thing there is to hate!!!
*(&(*#^YIU(FY)(YE&)(*%RY&)(*WUYD
Chino looks latin.
@DB--Well said
Why do I do this to myself. It's clear this post-season is cursed, yet I continue to watch.
HATEHATEHATE
same here, Mr C
I just can't look away
I was commenting on the culture/primitive yet funky commercial on the other thread, in fact.
#ScoobyDoo
What happened to Karina? I think i scared her with my tirade.
@MrC--You continue to watch for the same reason we all watched the Dodgers all season, we're not the sharpest kni...Oh crap! We need to get lives!
why is Zach Galifianakis pitching?
he's slimmed down some. good for him.
Get your chardonnay orders in, lads!
WTF is with that beard on Romo? Why does he jet dye it brown like that? Ah, he's number 54, that explains it. My least favorite number on earth because it's the evil twin of 45.
I'm here, watching the train wreck silently.
I'm so angry I can't even curse or hate
Lee's lead off single!
@Mr C @Fred's Brim you're still watching because you're baseball junkies and need your fix, even if it is a lousy one.
I'm hoping for divine intervention on behalf of the rangers at this point.
@ Karina
I'll hate for you
Jump off your bridge you orange pansies
"Bitin' your style, man? And they come out here and make money, like, tryin' to hustle me man? Scooby Doo!"
No one likes you Romo. You can't even make your own local newspaper and your team is in the playoffs.PLAYOFFS.
It's kinda sad actually.
*laughs*
6 Out blown save opportunity for Wilson.
Hey Karina, I forgot to ask why your dog's name is Coper. What is the story behind that? It always reminds be of a Beastie Boys lyric.

Mr C
Paul
Rally you stupid Braves! Rally!!!
Maybe Brian Wilson pitches 2 inning saves as good as Jonathon Broxton
We can hope
Worst. Dressed. Fans. Ever.
I just saw a billboard: "fear the beard"
Geeeeez, they can be cool even if they try their best. "In the Beard I trust" is 10000000000 times better
Was that Larry Bud Mellman in the pinstripes?
HaHaHaHa
everyone's safe!
*tomahawk chomping*
This exchange just happened on the Twitters:
Andrew Siciliano: Who was that pimp in the yellow pin-stripes? #giants
Dusty Baker: RT @AndrewSiciliano: Who was that pimp in the yellow pin-stripes? #giants \\Jon Miller?
YES!!!!
new game! way to go Alex Gonzalez!
YEEESSS!!!
Fuck Yeah Motherfuckers
Rally up!!!!!
Go, you Atlanta Braves of Boston by way of Milwaukee!
I'm wearing my thong backward for this rally.
Ankiel'D
Beat these shiteaters!
@DB it's a nice change of pace, isn't it?
By the way, Brian Wilson, fashion police just failed you.
WOW! LOOK AT THE SCORE!
(ties)
Yay, I guess.
@karina I actually do fear Wilson's beard. It looks like a highly contageous skin disease.
Don't start that bullshit again Mr.F
Anger(arise)
it looks like that pube beard they put on that dude in that Jackass movie
Actually it just hit me that Karina's dog and a SoSG reader are both mentioned within the same stanza of a fine Beasties song:
I'm so rope they call me Mr. Roper
When the troubles arise I'm the cool coper
On the mic I score just like the Yankees
Get over on Ms. Crabtree like my main man Spanky
aww gross, that old cursive Giants logo was sooo bad
@Fred's Brim 9:06 PM exactly, however if the Braves win, it might turn into something way more pleasant
@Dusty Baker Coper is short for Copernico (like the scientist's last name). I wanted to call him a) Koufax b) Lasorda but I wasn't allowed since everyone in this family has different MLB loyalties. I also tried to call him Brando, Dean or Boggart :(
My younger brother, who was the one who brought Coper, wanted a scientist name, came up with it and Coper just learned that name for himself at the very first moment (my parents' convo of genes gave us a penchant for geekiness or what?)
@Josh that's a fair point. It might even host unknown diseases for humanity. Ewwwwwww
That sounded made up Holmes.But thanks for the name drop
Spank, did you just dis the Beastie Boys? Say it ain't so.
"3-Minute Rule" from Paul's Boutique.
#FightinWords
Siddown, Oyster Pubes.
Got it, Karina. Dat's coo. Always had wondered.
I got my way and was allowed to name our dog Frankie after Chelsea's Frank Lamaprd.
They get all of Oyster's Pubes and glue them onto their faces
How could I have missed that lyric? I must have been pretty high at the time.
^^glued
I was decidedly stoned out of my gourd when that first dropped, to be sure.
Does glued refer to your 9:24 or 9:26 comment, Spank? Or both?
Alright, Bravos. I need runs this inning. I can't handle the thought of a Jint walk off.
Wow, all tied up through 8. Interesting.
@DB - you ever seen Gummo?
Not perfect grammar, always perfect timin'
The Mike stands for money and the D is for Diamond
Sorry, Spanky, I'll stop now.
9:24
too much coke zero.I need a beer to straighten out
time for Heyward to show everybody what time it is
it's 12:30
@FB
No, I didn't. However, at first IMDB glance I note there is midget presence. I'm intrigued.
Braves need to get to Mota
@Steve Sax the Bravos heard your complains :)
midgets and glue huffing and some interesting Burt Reynolds references.
it's actually terrible, but worth seeing once, if you like/are interested in Harmony Korine movies
@FB
Or if I'm into midgets and glue huffing and Burt Reynolds references.
^Which I am
@Fred's Brim your mota's observations are cracking me up
@Spank
that beard is a veritable Papua New Guinea as far as obscure species identification goes.
@Dusty Baker I thought you named Frankie after Frank McCourt ;)
sorry but it was too easy to say that, as we say here "me la dejaste de bombita" (baseball slang actually)
Pablo Sandoval looks like Uncle Majic The Hip Hop Magician
@ Dusty
It can be an incubator for all the small species of the rain forest
cripes - this dude brings it
Uribe Kemp'd.
@DB, we all are, at least a little
not Cody
please, not Cody
55 "splash hits" at PacBell this season
2 splash hits in my toilet tonight
sorry
good
Thank you Cody Ross!
200!
the Giants fans should be heading home to recycle soon
@FB--That was so gross yet oddly appropriate in comparing Phone Booth Park to a toilet :)
heh - I knew it was wrong, but it felt so right
Phone Booth is to big
Spanky, if you don't have a Twitter account, you should think to get one, who knows? you might be the next "$%^* my dad says"
while we're at it, how's that show?
smart play, make Glaus run on cold legs
yikes that was close
and Vagner is hurt
Karina don't get offended but i don't understand what you just said Kiddo
What show?
Dad says what?
Hey, the Braves aren't losing/have lost? When I last checked it was 3-0 after two.
i bet he hurt himself on the first bunt
It's October and Brian Wilson is trending in LA. However, thanks to that, I found another reason to mock Jints fans:
http://twitter.com/BeardOfBrian
sample tweets?
"As many stars are in the sky, as many sands are on the shore, so great are the number of hairs on Brian Wilson's face. #SFGiants"
"The Beard gives Brian Wilson cellphone reception. #BeardPower"
(shakes head)
the Mazda "Juke"? it looks like a pregnant rollerskate
Our Beard Mode brings all the guys to the Yard, and we're like, it's better than yours. Damn right, it's better than yours, Blake can trim you but he'd have to charge.
game over
kyle
fucking
farnsworth
@Spanky I'll tell you tomorrow, I've just said my prayers for tonight
