Holy smokage, it's BASEBALL. On TELEVISION (Prime Ticket / MLB Network). In the glorious AFTERNOON. With a 20% chance of RAIN. Oh well, three out of four ain't bad.
What better way to get ready for the Oscars than to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Los Angels Angels?
Those of you hoping to watch Jon Garland in action, however, will be disappointed; Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt is skipping Garland ("It's not a red flag," says Honeycutt) and John "Lincoln Lawyer" Ely will take Garland's place instead.

should we start keeping track of the Dodgers record when any of us post the line-up?
@Karina
Yes, but not for Spring Training...an exercise in futility.
Exercising in futility is what I'm all about.
I should be paid for exercising in futility
Fill out those Oscar ballots, lads and lasses!
@Dusty, We'll have an Oscar GT, don't worry...
Suh-weet!
#KingsSpeech
Hey who is the mystery commenter spammer and how can s/he be stopped?
Got this shit queued up! Let's do this!
Can you hear the Arsenal sing? ... I can't hear a @$#!%& thing!
[Sorry RBN]
Come on you Hammers!
[Sorry Mr. C]
AC didn't play today, so you're off the hook, Karina.
@Dusty: the spammer is really pissing me off. Rash of links as of 2am plugging his bootleg pirated purses.
Elymania lives!!!!!
I seriously barely know any of the Lost Angels' lineup. I know it's ST but jesus...who the hell are these guys?
Having said that, they'll probably win.
Hang up that first K, Karina!
Ely!
Shitty, choppy broadcast on Prime.
Anyone else's signal breaking up?
"James Loney will hold on Trout."
I want that to be dirty, but there's not much there.
Let's hear a big "DAMMIT!", Josh! First of the season.
Directv broadcast is choppy too. I think it's the main feed.
2 Ks!
#Elymania
Commercials are fine, so it's gotta be main feed.
(cries)
DARNIT!!!
(Saving the real thing for the regular season.)
This is like when I used to watch porn on dialup.
^NICE one, Nic!
Blake erupts out of the two hole!
Hey the LPGA broadcast on the next channel up is working fine. Maybe I should just watch that.
Bl-ke h-ts a ST-and u-p do-ub-le!!!!
Weird cut - was Dre in the middle of an AB when they went to commercial, or did I get caught in a time warp (e.g., paying more attn to commenting here than watching the game)?
Duke Snider has passed away.
Hitting with RISP?!?!
What is this black magic?!
First spring training game and TV signal fails. MLB network switching programming. I hope this isn't an omen of things to come this season.
Oh good, the clippers commercial again.
Oh but the Yanks Phils game came in yesterday perfectly. Fuck the East Coast. *cries*
They can show me that Clippers commercial a million times, and I'm still not going to buy any tickets.
Audio feed is fine via the internets, FYI.
2-0 Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles, in the first inning
Matt kemp got picked off.
FIRE LOPES!!
R.I.P. The Duke
Thank God Prime Ticket didn't decide to black out the game.
I will never forget seeing the Duke on the field opening day a few years back. What a legend.
@Paul
I was at that Opening Day game, too. Duke was a little wobbly on his knees but it was awesome to be able to get to see him in person and look up at his retired number there in the pavilion.
Go back to Frisco and their buffet table!!
@Dusty
The opening day festivities that year gave me goosebumps. I think Karros' hair blocked out the sun for a few minutes that day.
Indeed, it was a partial Karros-clipse.
Duke Snider :(
#halloffameinmyheart
oh I just saw Matt kemp was caught stealing
*shakes head*
I have problems to comment on here...is it the same for everyone or blogspot hating on me?
time to impress,Hector Gimenez moron :(
Hey Hey! We scored.
Hey, lookit that!
I need some menudo,quick.
Barajas GIDP.
already taking martins place.
Still, I'll take 3-0 after two.
@Karina
My Blogger is working fine. Never thought I'd be able to say that.
Pasadena, where you at!!!
Good footwork, Uribe! Not that he can see his feet.
Three runs in two innings. We can't be stopped.
Furcal 2-2 and his speed looks good. Hell yeah, my man.
I could really use some ice cold beer penis right now.
Get these ugly swings out of your system boys
Already getting screwed over by umpires.
Kemp supposedly lost 15 pounds in the offseason.
I absorbed them all.
hmmmm Bison, I think you need to work your patience at the plate and Spring Training is the moment for it.
Can someone bean Colletti in the head already?
NERD ALERT!
I have my photos ordered on my computer so that I can call up keywords assigned to photos, including something as seemingly as esoteric as "baseball seats." You guys know taking pics of baseball seats is a fetish of mine. So I just copied these to my iPad. And I found out one could make a slideshow of a certain set of pics, e.g., my baseball seats set, and then assign music to it for play during the slideshow. So I set it to the old "Talkin' Baseball" song because it talks about the Duke. I've now played the slideshow to the song about 5 times now. I really need a hobby...oh, wait, this is my hobby.
Hot Sister has a pretty nice inning.
Good to know our cunning instincts on the basepaths are intact.
For the love of Vin,get this fool off the air already. Colletti too.
Who the fuck is Sellers?
We love Rod!
@Mr. C: Us, by the trade deadline.
Straight flush,Yo!
KOBE!
Damn you, DB. Had to wait to watch the match. Son had his first baseball game ever this morning.
0-2; played left field. Team won.
@Spank:
Ned sounded like someone already beat him in the head.
Kemp lost over 100lbs this winter. . .right after he dumped Ri-Ri.
Each of Ri-Ri's thighs alone must weigh 100 lbs.
Epale, mofos! Looks like I missed quite a bit. Working on a Duke post and looks like we have some spam to clean up....
wowzer!!
hey, Ri-Ri's thighs are super got, even for a straight female.
#defendingfemalecurves
Nice double play
i thought newpowerbiz online store had some poignant thoughts.
Adm. Ackbar in mid-season form.
^hot
Oh, Rhi's got some hamhocks on her, fo sho.
And with that, I bow out of Ri-Ri Talk.
My Karina bait worked perfectly!!!
4-0 Dodgers in the bottom of the seventh, with a man on first and one out.
Kemp scored two on a single to center in the first.
Hector Gimenez (who?) sacrificed in the second to score Loney
Rod Barajas tells Russell Martin to stick it with a solo HR in the fifth
my absence is Blogger's fault,Dusty.
however,your bait DID work,you know me too well!
for the record,I think KABC is blocked in my country, it also doesn't work :(
JAMIE HOFFMAN IS THE FUTURE OF THIS ORGANIZATION...pending any more Rule 5 drafts.
QUIT WAVING AT THE CAMERA, YOU IDIOTS!
@Sax
Blogger needs a "Like" button just for your last comment about Barajas/Martin.
Late to this party!
and my 4th beer just magically opened.
Spilled some for The Duke (who did star in a Miller Lite commercial many moons ago).
100
@Steve Sax he plays for Tihres de Aragua and is a moron and it seems we're keeping him
I poured out half my only remaining beer for Duke a little bit earlier. Huge sacrifice.
Now I have to get off the sofa to buy more before the Oscars broadcast starts. I'm getting ready to say some things about fashion that will get Karina all fired up unnecessarily - can't wait! ;-)
Think I might go get some tonic water. My Hendrick's is feeling neglected.
Oh Dear God.
The Dodgers are giving away Snuggies (but calling them "sleeved fleece blankets)?
The 7th seal has been broken.
. . .and I'm getting one, fo sho!
It's not gin and tonic season yet, RBN! Would you wear white shoes after Labor Day?
Duke Snider hit the last home run at Ebbets Field before the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles. I wonder who has that HR ball?
Am I OK with vodka tonics? I'm all out of whiskey.
we win!!
going all the way baby!!
That's fine, RBN.
5-0! Dodgers win! I Love LA!
Just practicing.
First Dodger win of the year!
I don't even want to know what Gimenez did to incur the wrath of Karina.
WE MAKE SPRING TRAINING PARTY!
@ Mr C
I don't either, but I trust her judgment.
I'm still sad about me Gunners. Freaking Squilacci.
"Talkin' Baseball" - Terry Cashman
@RBN
Was it your defender or keeper who screwed up? I couldn't watch. I have both as regulars in my fantasy squad.
Sorry,Koscielny. Still, a Frenchman is to blame!
No French, no peace!
@Mr. C "I don't even want to know what Gimenez did to incur the wrath of Karina."
Hmmm, Serie del Caribe intrigue?
@db
Indeed. Trending toward "dislike".
DB:
The keeper was helpless. Koscielny stepped in front to clear and whiffed.
"Still I'm Sad." The Yardbirds.
Look that one up, peeps.
Just checked the BBC. Still 2-1 Birmingham City.
Fuck me in the armpit, squared.
So, both armpits, RBN?
One for each goal allowed. Fucking B-ham. 11 behind the ball and 2 lucky breaks. And Wenger rests Fabregas.
Fuck.
Fabregas hurt, no?
@Mr C @Orel @Dusty Baker Gimenez's team,Tigres, play an extra game to go to the finals,when they finally won, Gimenez,instead of celebrating as normal people on the field,he dedicated very RUDE arm gestures to the crowd.
Leones fans are the most obnoxious fans I have recollection of (yes, even including Giants fans) but I hate disrespectful behavior towards fans, that's all
125+ posts in out first spring training game. Not bad team! Hopefully no one injured themselves. Gotta stay healthy.
I pulled a drinking muscle. My doctor recommends wine.
I complied.
