Ted Lilly (0-1, 6.00) vs. Jonathan Sanchez (0-1, 2.53).
We've read about Lilly's competitive streak, so this wubba-wubba* game would be a fine opportunity to discover if Better Off Ted can translate his intensity into Giants-beating results.
*Why yes, that is Portia de Rossi.
The Dodgers already beat Sanchez at Dodger Stadium — and really, any team that can hand Tim Lincecum a loss followed by a no-decision should be capable of taking this series.
Andre Ethier is beginning to heat up, and we know Matt Kemp will continue playing like he's in his walk year (which he isn't; he becomes a free agent in 2013). The pitch Kemp formerly couldn't resist, the slider down and away, is currently bedeviling James Loney, who figures to see (and swing at) plenty of them from the lefty Sanchez.
Also, Casey Blake is scheduled to start tonight, which should get Aaron Miles out of the lineup. Already the Beard's contributing!
It's been hard to figure out this 2011 Dodgers squad. For every two games they grind out, they go belly-up for one. There has been some true meeting of potential, and then some truly uninspired play from some uninspiring signings. A victory tonight would help tilt the balance toward the hope that this team can compete.

Guess I was wrong about Miles. D'oh!
Miles away from a hit.
fuckFuck fuckFuckFUCK!
How the hell did I miss this today?!?
He was right around the corner from my work!
SON
OF
A
BITCH!
I feel like I've failed you all
D'oh!
You should check out Lez Zeppelin!
I actually know the little blonde Lez on the right. She's not that lez
Son of a double bitch - they updated the page. John Oates was there at 12:30 today!
I'm not surprised FB. I figured they just couldn't resist using a terrible pun. Something I'm sure we'd all approve.
Blake at first just isn't the same without Martin at third.
(That's a good thing, btw.)
Russell Martin just doubled.
RT @jillpainter: The #Dodgers axed their half-price alcohol promotion for six games. They will still honor half-price food and sodas those games. Good start.
Wandy Rodriguez is not a very good pitcher.
I am officially on the badge wagon.
Soriano homer gives me my sixth.
Troy Tulowitzki is murdering the Mets tonight. He's a triple away from a cycle through 5. Dingers are leading 4-3
Epale everyone!
@Fred's Brim: are you saying girls can't rock?
You haven't lived until you've heard Jose Mota try to pronounce Shin-Soo Choo.
Hope you're happy now, Sax. Full price beer.
Culero! Culero!
Little known fact, James Loney has not hit a homerun since Hall & Oates had a hit song.
I can't go for that.
How do you do the badges thang?
On the sofa, Vinny!
Do I get a badge if Matt Holliday takes one in the nutsack?
Epale,Mang!
Booze:check
Pizza in the oven:check
Vin on the tube:You bet your ass
killKillKILL
Great game on local digital channel that directtv doesn't get so I am blacked out.
@karina I would never say that! I was just saying that the girl on the right (Meg) was not really a lesbian :)
Hello, Everybody!
HATEHATEHATE
Why did you go postal on that pizza dough, NHFL?
@Paul on gameday, there''s a row of icons at the bottom of the interface. Just hit on the second icon right to left and you'll discover a world of goodness.
MLB offers fans a badge when a hitter accomplishes something previously established.
Be careful, rumor has it it's like hard drugs.
Heart is a great band.
@Fred's Brim *shakes head*it's not funny!
Hey, don't knock hard drugs.
Uh-oh, FB getting the PC stinkeye.
No, Meek plays for the Pirates.
I am not sure what I said
@ Dusty
It disassembled when it popped out of the tube. I tried to re-knead it but to no avail.I blew up with a nice set of curse words and threw that shit like Bo Jackson did a baseball.
For the record, whoever thinks girls can't rock, should remember about the one and only Patti Smith.
Fuck I thought that was fair.
Heart rocks harder than Patti Smith.
On the chair, Vinny!
my first game with Vinny of the season! <3
Heart kicks Patti Smith's ass.
I know it is only the first inning but already I am nervous.
Spank, are you trying to pick up a fight? bad night, because Vinny is on and nothing can bother me...excepting Rowand scoring a run.
Can we just have Heart and Patti Smith do a naked jello wrestle to see who is better?
I almost $!@# my pants
Let's everyone try to ruin Karina's perfect night with off color and/or sexist statements.
*ducks*
Glad to see Lilly bringing his "A" game tonight.
Huff makes the catch. Drat.
a) Patti Smith wouldn't do a jello fight, that's below her.
b) Let's say you guys are right and she doesn't rock BUT she still rocks way much more than you both.
Uribe homer. Calling it.
I never said Patti Smith doesn't rock. I just said Heart was better.
heh. I started this somehow but honestly I didn't mean to and am not sure what I did
Eh. Close enough. Baby steps, Uribe, baby steps.
@ karina 7:31PM
No,you didn't!
Go deep,Rod!
why would you go to second on that throw?
fat and lazy
That's no good.
Three years of Lilly and Uribe?
(cries)
@Orel: A for aerial.
Dre, what were you doing?
What the fuck?
I don't like this
*sighs*
And Teddy, ol'boy, that was Mike Fontenot who just hit a double off you
let's take a deep breath and remember the game is on the second inning.
Lilly did bring his "A" game: A as in Always give up early runs.
Belated:
FUCK
What happened to trying to throw a guy out at the plate?
Let's take a deep breath and....good god, Frankie, did you just poot?
Teddy just needs to retire Aaron "Andy Gump" Rowand.
Rowand may be successful but at least I can make fun of the lamest batting stance ever.
Miles will draw a walk. Lilly Hr to tie it up. Book it.
Take that, Gump!
The sight of that cup was making me want to puke.Just like the sight of Dre playing defense.
This doesn't feel like one of those games where our starting pitcher recovers after a shaky start.
I'm gonna show Rowand's batting stance to Lucas when it comes time for toilet training.
@Karina
Thanks! You rock!
@Josh I am not sure what Dre was looking at there. It was almost as if he assumed Belt would stay at third
@Dodgers
Score some runs!!!!
Blind squirrel finds a nut.
pathetic
what was up with that angle?
10 million a year and the mofo can't bunt.
Rally!
i was so hoping Huff was going to dive for that
WITCHCRAFT.
Come on Blake.Do something
Seems like we're starting out every AB 0-2
Shite.
yuck
Ach.
I'll buy you a wig if you hit it out, Dre!
Dre was so far behind that one
Useless
blech
What are chances Miles & Carroll will be on base again in this game?
Wash yer hair, Dre!
I don't quite know how that happened.
U.G.L.Y.
Let's see if Lilly can get out of the 3rd without giving up a run.
Pubes hit by the pitch! WooHoo!!
@Karen
I like the way you think.
I say bean Burrell
Throw at Posey while he's at first!
Throw at Bochy tambien.Fuck it.
That was beautiful,man.
Throw at Cody Ross!!!
Just got back from Super Mex for dinner. I had the bean Burrell
They don't get to retaliate. Har har!
And what the fuck with youse guys?
Heart over Patti Smith? Patti, I married Fred "Sonic" Smith of the MC5, Smith?
Oh sure, Nancy Wilson is a great guitarist for a girl, but Patti has punk cred over the Wilson sisters.
*prepares for karina's onslaught due to "girl"comment*
Urine wanted to swing at that one
Vin calling him out now
Really weak, Uribe
Throw at Uribe!!!
Dare we hope for two out madness?
If you kinda squint your eyes a little bit, not even much, Juan Urine looks a lot like David Ortiz circa April of 2010.
Via Dylan Hernandez on Twitter:
"Without question, the #SFGiants press box leads the league in foofs per capita. Do they sell credentials at the concession stands?"
Didn't they fine Kobe for calling someone a "foof?"
Always with the 0-2
Lefties are gonna kill us all year, aren't they?
Hells yes!
HOTROD!!
B-ROD!
RODNEY!!!!
In Rod we trust!!!!!!!
Yeah!!!
Oh shit, Rod swinging the lumber.
@RBN
Good point. But you're Dylan Hernandez isn't Kobe Bryant.
Rod Barajas now has as many homers as Russell Martin.
I'm watching on the MLB gamemix on the minibox so everyone looks like Miles.
*cries*
The hits just keep on coming for Aaron Miles.
Oh Snap! Barajas hit a homerun!
I like that Barajas guy.
It's time for me to go
@karina if I said something to offend you, I am sorry. I wasn't trying to. Please accept my apologies.
Have a good night
Portia de Rossi is absolutely perplexing, bring an Arrested Development fan.
Some days, I think she's hot. Other days, not so much. What's the deal?
Funny thing was my dad called the Posey bean this morning. Didnt call the second one.
I agree with you Sax and I don't have an answer except lighting.
Nice try,holmes.
Where DID karina go? She insults me and splits.lol
FYI: Moriama is lighting up the twitter
@rbn - Are you trying to make me strike again?
Along with the Laker caps they are giving away free matching knee braces at tomorrows game. Courtesy of Bynum.
NOW Blake singles.
@Sax: hair down = hot
Welcome back,KKemp.
MLASF you can't strike twice in a week. We might question how sincere you are about strikes.
I'm going to the game tomorrow night so can report back on the Lakers cap giveaway.
I remember hearing Vin call Candlestick "the house of horrors" one night. Wasn't that just perfect!?
BEAN HIM!
@ Karina
PATTI SMITH ROCKS!!!
Come back,fool.
A fastball to the temple.Is that too much to ask for?
FUCK YES!
Shut up,Urine.
I'm no fan of Uribe's recent performance, but he held up there.
Wait was MLASF calling a strike on the pitch or is he striking again?
What'd they feed him today?
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Yes! I forgot Thames was on base!
You're the man, Aaron!
Did I really say that??
I can go for Miles and Miles...
Maybe Miles is my 2011 Furcal. Furcal always had good games if I made a pregame insult.
It's time for Nancy Bea!!!
Hold on. Let me eat some mushrooms first.
Hate that guy.
WE CAN'T HOLD LEADS FOR SHIT.
SHIT SHIT SHIT!
HORSE PISS
That was Ted's first homer of the season? That seems unpossible.
And there's the second. See my point?
It's time for Ted to call it a night.
Son if a hurr. Can't we keep it inside the damn ballpark?
This is what happens when Lilly gets past the fifth.
It's shitty hitter night!
Fuck, has does Fontenot hit a homer?
Speaking of passing the fifth, beer status: Maker's Mark
Those aren't curveballs. Those are his fastballs.
I'll be in need of Sweet Freedom if MacDonald comes in.
I was thinking same thing re Lilly; it seems like he'd already given up 16 HRs this season.
He may give up 14 more before the night is over.
Leave the shroom eating to Nancy B. She doesn't hang out with us bubblegumers
Sadly I think we are tapped out at 3 maybe 4 runs tops.
Nancy Bea the organist, or Nancy Bea the SoSG reader?
Infield pop up and a slow roller to the pitcher.
We are powerful.
Dodgers are swinging the bat like if they are "I don't care if we lose"mode.
^in
I am searching for a picture of Oates with a shaved head in anticipation of another loss.
Now Matty. Now.
Dre should shave his head. Or delouse.
The only other game is the Cards D bags game. It seems like it has been going on since this morning.
Come on Romo give Matty the Manny treatment.
@ Romo
Just shave it all off.idiot.
This fuckin sucks.
200
What do you call that mess on Romo's face?
Just got back from Yoga and such.
out
Looked like MacDonald wanted to take that pitch to the steets
^streets
The Lakers would never have a Dodger whatever night.Just saying.
Are they not allowed to say "Lakers" in those promos?
Ha ha Pubes!!
I almost $#!% my pants,again.
How did you like yoga, Mr.F?
Nic, I see Joe Block has finally acquiesced to your point about the Dodgers and homers allowed.
