Clayton Kershaw (1-1, 2.08) vs. Ashley Bumgarner (0-1, 9.00).
Security will be tighter than Fort Knox today at the Big Phone Park, which I can only guess is due to the much-ballyhooed return of Juan Uribe and his vaunted .111 batting average to San Francisco. Man, they must miss him. (In fact, so do we.)
In all seriousness, tonight's game will collect funds for Bryan Stow at the gate, augmenting the Dodgers' efforts held today at the Stadium. I know it's not July yet, but let's stay safe and sane up there tonight, okay?
Meanwhile, we've got a hell of a pitching matchup: the Dodgers throw the Minotaur, who took the loss in his second outing but still has two quality starts and 17 Ks on the year, versus Bumgarner, who lasted three innings against the Padres and gave up 5 H, 3 BB, and 3 ER. And the best way for the Dodgers to subside the anxieties of what will be an amped-up Giants crowd will be for Kershaw to come out gunning, hoping that the offense can pick up the pace a bit (and bounce Bumgarner early). I'm expecting Crete things from the Minotaur (and friends) tonight.

Damn that was a quick inning.
Wild bat boy just escaped.
aubrey
Meanwhile Clay's release getting a little off.
is it me or this game is going quick?
I'm sad no one picked up my Inglorious Basterds reference :(
Kershaw needs to get control of Uncle Charlie.
siddown motherboy!!
I haven't seen it enough Karina :(.
Too busy eating my big kahuna burgers.
@Paul if you have been eating kahuna burguers,you're totally excused :)
That was a fuckin strike.
Sax here and just getting back. Something must be wrong here, there is no way we would have scored five.
How was that not a fuckin strike!
please dont let them back in the game.
no homers, please
I think he has thrown one curve ball this inning.
here is the perfect time for a good one.
And both Loney and Uribe have hits? Impossible
Nice pitch now hook em!
Clayton in trouble here
w00t!
that'll do!
Okay. I'll take it.
The Kid gets out of another jam with shutout intact.
Clayton's growing up before our very eyes!
(cries)
Aaron Miles joins the party.
(Batting for Raffy? Wuh-oh.)
Miles gets a hit? What new devilry is this?
Miles looks like a total beer leaguer, but he doesn't really hit like one.
pile it on!
Three hitS for Ca double r o double l!!
Spank are you Ok? Have you killed Gamd Day yet?
Okay now no:100.
I do not like looking for the refresh button, Firefox 4.
nice work, Dre! good hitting there
Dre, you are one streaky motherfucker.
just hit F5
It's a Dre Day.
We need to keep giving MLASC silly reasons to protest. It seems to be good mojo.
or command+R
Tell him the Sons have made it a policy to delete any comments about the Kings
I still love you kemp
@ FB
I took a timeout. I am A ok
cmon Urine, get the feeling back here
Okay close your eyes Uribe.
that's not it
Urine, thanks for showing...
Oh, it's time for a new nickname alright.
How about Fuckstick?
well, at least Juan Uribe still sucks.
6-0 Dodgers.
Urine stinks.
I want a turkey burger.
How about turd biscuit?
Uribe, you got your ring. Can't you put your Giants era to a close now?
Uribe, you got your ring. Can't you put your Giants era to a close now?
im getting a little uncomfortable with clayton's pitch count.
Sax's comment followed by Paul's made me snort.
I HATE the panda
Uribe It's the wood that should fear your hand, not the other way around. No wonder you can't do it, you acquiesce to defeat before you even begin.
one more batter, hope for the DP and get Clayton out of there
Like I was saying with Ely, don't leave these guys dangling out there with ridiculous pitch counts just to prove you aren't pulling them too early.
way to battle, Clayton!
way too many pitches, but ok
like to see that clayton wanted to stay in, but liked that Donnie pulled him out more.
no need to throw that many pitches in a blowout.
The Kid did his job. Props,holmes.
wow, dangerous catch.
nice work, Guhrear
MSB made me a little nervous on that catch
I actually don't deathly fear our Pen like last year.
Gibbons just hit a walk off single for the 'topes.
Atta boy Jay!!
Come on, James!
2-2 count to Loney
Loney fans like a little leaguer
baLoney!!
Josh S, I've been meaning to ask you: who is your avatar?
Come on Spanky!!
I bet a lot of Giants have sore wrists, just like Furcal
I'm a Loney Non-Fan
Except they have hairy palms, too
Great now Josh S is gonna go on strike.
Nic J, I like the baLoney, I may have to use that
seems like they just want to end the game so they can watch the festivities in the parking lot
Before I watch Jack fall down the staircase, I want to give Clayton Kershaw TONS of props for his performance tonight. Way to go, Clay.
Ha ha, that Jack is one clumsy dude!
That is where the funs at.
Josh is The Gooch!
@Fred's Brim: Kinda reminds me of Vince Coleman Fireworks Night
Josh - Is there an Oats/Oates story behind it?
i wish they would make a Jack in the Box sitcom. I'd watch that.
If they gave the stupid Geico cavemen one, Mr. Box can have one.
@Sax now that's how you have fun, post game!
Cheddar Onion McChicken?
I thought Sax was watching three's company again.
and what's the jalapeno chicken? They got some strange stuff in SF
Dusty, they're calling your Lakers cap
Loney the rockets fan looked super stoked to be wearing a lakers cap.
nice pick, Urine!
at least he can still catch it
6-0 through eight
My avatar is Kate Miccuci, the Oates half of the comedy/music duo Garfunkel & Oates.
Hear them here.
I guess they invented the 10:35 in San Francisco
I saw the video, on Deadspin, of that Pittsburgh Pirates fan getting beaten and tased at the Pirates' game. Didn't quite understand why the cops were going apeshit on the guy.
Wow, that Burrell error was bad
Javy Lopez?
was it TroyfromWV? He might have earned it
@Sax, well normally nobody goes to Pirates games so they must have thought he was trespassing.
@Sax are you kidding? it was AWESOME!
Wow, you guys are all sowing your wild oats/oates.
@FB, i think Troy's ankle braclet restricts him from leaving the house.
In fact, this GameThread is all backwards. In reverse, it's Oates to a Grecian Pun.
I just laughed looking at FB's all caps juxtaposed with a smiley Quaker.
Those aren't seagulls, Vin--they're vultures
Speaking of Javy Lopez, what the hell happened to him? He was awesome for a while, then he Martined. Did he stop juicing? Did he stop trying? Was it Maddux that refused to have him catch on his days in the rotation?
I did not hear anything about Hoffmann getting called up. I assume he took Ely's place, leaving us with eleventy outfielders.
here we go, bottom of the ninth
eleventy? LOL
who's gonna pitch?
what other Dodger blogs are going to reference Keats? I ask you!
I ASK YOU TOO, FRED'S BRIM!!!
Who's going to be my big toe?
If torre was still managing it would be broxton.
I don't trust Mac yet
Go Dodgers!
this umpires strikezone sucks.
Here we go, Mikey MacDougal
Mike MacDougal
What A Fool Believes
Burrell always has to get his empty HR in.
Well, that sucks.
I hate Burrell.
MacDougal trying to make sure the Dodgers don't beat the spread
hateHateHATE
How do the Dodgers stop Burrell?
Trade for him.
Yes, let us celebrate a meaningless homer that was almost foul!
He has hit like 98% of his homeruns against us since the Giants picked him up.
Nice work, Pat. One more and you'll have made up for the 2 you let in
@ FB, HA!
In all fairness, Mac Dougall's first 2 pitches were borderline strikes. He had to hang one to get a strike call.
#shamelessapologist
i could be mad about a blown shutout but im too busy getting reacquainted with winning.
@Sax I usually get my Keats at To Autumn: A Dodger Playoff Blog
We make Oates and Oats!!!!!!
DODGERS WIN!!!
fatboy almost cleared up a roster spot for us.
WE MAKE PARTAY!!!
That's funny, I don't hear that "Beat LA" chant going. Hmm.
I am actually making Oats right now! (breakfast for tomorrow)
I like it!
@FB 9:56p: To paraphrase One Night In Bangkok: "I get my Keats above the waistline, sunshine."
gnite, yall! Let's stick it to Timmeh tomorrow night!
We Make High Fiber Party!!!
WE MAKE PARTY!
@Sax god I love this place!
Well, that ended well.
it's difficult for me to look at Serene Branson doing her remote reports.
SOSG: Keeping the regulars, regular.
"There are officers on motorcycle, there are officers on foot, and on car." --Serene Branson
Seagulls must be Dodger fans cause after every game In Frisco they fly around the field and take a dump.
Orel is working on the PGT as we speak. Our damn legal department hasn't approved the copy.
DAMMIT!
There are officers in a box, with a fox
On a plane, and in a train
There are officers in the house; there are officers with a mouse.
I've always pictured Mr.F a farina kind of guy.
PGTUP!
Orel, Mr. LA SC 7:57p: I thought that was Brad Garrett. He looks like he had too much sun there, though.
farina?
Oh, I've never had it!
Cream of Wheat,Mr.F.
