Chad Billingsley (1-1, 8.00) vs. Tim Lincecum (1-1, 0.64).
Something about the Dodgers makes the Giants break out the Flubber. In their five meetings so far, the Giants have made six errors, and thankfully the Dodgers have been canny enough to take advantage of them. But they'll need every scrap of luck tonight, because what are the chances the Dodgers can beat Lincecum for a second straight time? At Pay Phone Park?
Now it's time for my obligatory slobbering over Matt Kemp. Hey, it's not like I'm alone. "Matt Kemp is the center of the universe," gushes Jon Weisman. Matt Kemp should bat leadoff, proclaims Tony Jackson. They should rename the bison the Matt Kemp, say I. With his new focus and discipline, the man isn't just a five-tool player — he's a five-weapon player.
Injury update. This from @TBrownYahoo:
Ivan DeJesus Jr will be in uni for Dodgers tonight, in place of Furcal. LA checked on Eckstein in spring, told it would cost $2 mil. Passed.
As Clayton Kershaw goes, so seems to follow the Dodgers' new $35-million man, Billingsley. Win-win in L.A. Lose-lose in Colorado. A win-win in SF won't be easy, but if the Giants' porous defense cooperates, it's definitely doable.

siddown Rowand!
@Orel and I'm enjoying it enormously!
@Paul: I forgot about Pancho. Josh for sure.
Thanx FB. Loney must have thought he had a little Kemp in him.
Is that the same Joshua Bernstein that did session work with Chicago (pre-Cetera)
Bynum just limped off the court to the locker room
Is Bynum the Lakers' Furcal?
damn
Crap.
Same JB. But the Menudos had to kick him out of the band when they realized that he was still playing for Chicago.
I HATE Buster fucking Posey!
goddamn 2-out runs - I hate them so
Bynum and Walton
Don't go squirrelly on us now Bills.
Let's see what Chad is made of.
Did he try to add "Transit Authority" to the end of the band name?
...just don't let it get out of hand, Chad.
I'm changing the channel.I can't watch.
That is how fuckin Cetera stole some of FM's songs in pre production and made a solo career.
Going squirrely.
that was such a garbage hit
Ahhh FUCK!!!
Loney gets to that if he's holding on the bag. But 3-2 doesn't allow that, does it.
it isnt squirrely yet - the last two were wussy grounders
This linueup is just one object of loathing after another.
when Burrell homers here, you can call it squirrelly
@Neeebs
I can hold my pisco! My little Peruvian esposa rubbed off on me.
That didn't sound right.
Nor does she really drink pisco.
that was a strike
DB: Hey, you waver, but don't fall.
fudge
Had him 1-2 and let him get away.
Come on Billz.Man up,FOOL!
I swear Tejada looks like my neighbors daughter
Thank god...
Billz gets out of it still with a lead
or vise versa
Oh no problem bills im sure we can just go right out there are score three more runs.
Lincecum just had the type of inning that Bills should have had last inning.
Still a good at bat by Carroll.
He sure as hell did Nic
Well now that laker season is officially over i have more time to devote to baseball.
*le sigh*
Couldn't see that coming at all.
Huff is just missing.
Blah.
You all are right. I think Timmeh DID wash his hair. I'm...at a loss for taunts.
This is two meh starts in a row.
@Neeebs
I'm like a weeble wobble.
Hate that guy.
Squirrel
Hawksworth needs to hurry up.
we had Lincecum on the ropes and douchebag let these assholes back in the game.
Booooooooooooo!!
its a good thing runs come easy to the dodgers.
i saw him make that same play last year.
Loney overtakes Urine for worst batting average
Bills is my Broxton.
I get it but I just don't get it.
Lakers and Spurs tied at 45 at half
Oh shut I just read the Bynum news. Great.
Lay off the low junk, Loney
Boooooooooooooo!
there we go, now
GET
HIM
HOME
!
damn that was close. Loney could have made it to second on that one
yipes
and that's it?
Timmeh should have hit Urine in the head
motaMotaMOTA!
Mota is in. im not sure if that is good or bad.
i'll take a long fly ball.
I know he had a lot of pitches, but I like Timmeh's chances against Barajas and Miles/PH. Bochy is doing us a favor I think
me too, Nic
no double plays, please
is Rod even able to draw a walk?
Cards and Weed.Sounds like a wonderful thing
Booooooooooooooooooooo!
fuck
what a wack at-bat that was
DO YOUR JOB, ROD!
poopie
that's terrible
That was...really disappointing.
shit
D'ohhhhhhhh.
Is Miles this years GAARP?
god damn Barajas, you need to be better than that
Half the team is GAARP
Urine readdress himself in the "lead" with a .152 average to Loney's daunting .167
we are only playing with six hitters. Those last 3 spots are just a waste
Do you get a badge if they hit under .100?
Three spots? more like last five spots.
KJ needs to figure it out and quick.
If he flops here, he may need some ABQ time
fuck yes
good point, Nic. I think Urine and Loney will come out of it eventually, but I can't see anything happening with Barajas and whatever sucky infielder we put second-to-last
that was a strike!!
this ump is no good
I wonder if Urine still loves his gnat pals. Or maybe he's finally decided he's a Dodger.
The Giants broadcast is showing Belt taking outfield practice. The Huff Experiment is not working out I guess
@karen I think he's still on the Gnat payroll
The team should make a rule against the hats with the earflaps. It shows weakness.
Bynum's knee is throwing out the first pitch on Thursday night.
that was a strike
phew
@Paul how many runs do you want this inning?
Need some runs up in dis bish!
Yeah Paul. Work your magic!
Paul's rehearsing for the Flaming Menudo's come back and go home tour.
Wasn't Sax getting a badge if Thames hits a HR?
TIMS!
Holy shit!
THAMES IS OFFICIALLY A DODGER!!!!
Badge time!!!!
Marcus Thames for President.
GONE! Go get your badge, Saxy!!
About Thames for a homerun!
HOORAY!
why couldnt he have come up last inning?
Thames HR! Holy shit, I get a badge!
Oh, and it's tied.
Thames shut up the freaking black and orange wearing goons in the crowd.
@Sax what are the other badges?
Barajas triple?
Broxton stolen base?
You guys are hilarious.
I was unloading groceries from my car (we ran out of carrots and lettuce) and I cone back in, check my iPhone and see Thames hit a solo shot, and think "wow, I got a badge!"
And then I see that you all were thinking of me, too.
I love you guys.
This round of Dos Equis Amber is on me, for everyone in the house! Even those of you on strike!
I'M AWAKE!!!
I LOVE YOU TOO, SAX..... in those colors.
WOOHOO ANDRE
good job Dre!
time to walk Matty
this is where Dre and Matt get on base but are left by Loney and then don't get up again
Other available Dodger badges: Urine double, FJL triple
Knowing my luck, my assistant turned off my computer before leaving the office
Come on Kemp!
Urine had his double, time for the triple!
cant blame them, I'd walk Lasorda to get to Loney.
Going to work out.
Keep up the good work, boys and girls
No one is a fan of Loney.
Not even Loney Fan.
Oh James! When is your bat going to show up??
*chokes imaginary Loney*
I have no hope for Loney
why are you swinging at the first pitch, you big dummy!
Loney will have a hot streak to get his average back up to .260
Crud, Loney, what the fuck was that, first pitch swinging?!?!
Rowand? I am so tired of him. How can he suck against everybody except us?
At this rate, the only way Loney is getting a hot streak is by wearing that stupid Dodgers snuggie
GODDAMMIT!!
I concur. Loney... sigh.
I fuckin hate triples alley. But then again that is probably gone anywhere else.
we just cant hold a lead tonight.
Damnit, Erin Hawksworth's brother.
Nice Flaco Breezy.
unreal
that is completely unaccaptable
Damnit.
Hotsister fail
Well done, Blake
FUCK
I don't think we can score anymore.
I feel Oates mustache disappearing on my avatar...
The score was tied for like what...10 seconds
I'm not feeling any optimism either.
Get this hack out of the game.
Didn't we get Hawksworth for Theriot? I would rather have Theriot about now.
ach I don't like our bullpen
scrubs like Cormier, Hawksworth and Mac can't be trusted
Thank Devil.
@karen don't say that!
i think we are better off having Erin Hawksworth pitching
Stupid oyster pubes.
I kinda envisioned Erin Hawksworth as more of a catcher.
I would like a few Dodger runs on the board now please.
Sorry FB. My frustration is getting the best of me.
6 outs left with Dre and Matt 6 lineup spots away.
Dear crappy players: please score.
"few" means 3 or more, right? Is there a cap on "a few"?
hehe Mr F, such ribaldry!
hateHateHATE
What the hell happened to Romo's beard!? The rats ate their way out!
mojoMojoMOJO
Just talkin' baseball FB!
well hopefully wilson is still struggling.
nobody went to Dodger Stadium specifically to see Rudy Seanez. I don't think his family even liked watching him pitch
Miles I love you in Fraiser but you can't hit.
lean into one Miles.
Why you guys got to diss my hometown heroes for?
If Miles gets a hit Neeebs will dance a jig.
go away miles.
Go away Miles.
We are not good.
Exactly.
401
I think I might hate Romo more than Wilson.
Mike Fontenot is still playing/
What can possibly be more hipster than Romo and Wilson's "ironic" beards?
I just lost Gameday. Even they don't want nothing to do with the Dodgers
Gwynn nice catch, stupid hat.
nice one, CG2
TG2
time to make wilson look like a fool.
Well, more of a fool.
Let's do this Doyers! winWinWIN
(cries)
XP, then Gwynn, then Carroll? Not feeling great about our chances of getting somebody on before Dre and Matty
Goddamm Grizzly Adams is pitching
Come on Professor.
WHAT THE FUCK YOU CALL THAT A STRIKE?!?!?!
keep working him, X
Honestly, couldn't you use your telekinesis to move that ball away from the strike zone?
not good
just get on, Tony, doesn't matter how you do it
yeah, Brian Wilson is a real treasure
