Game 17 Thread: April 18 vs. Braves, 7p

Spit take!

Ted Lilly (0-2, 6.00) vs. Tim Hudson (2-1, 3.48).

The Braves and Dodgers, both owners of 7-9 records, meet with a little bit of momentum on each side. The Braves just took two of three from one of the few teams that makes the Dodgers look good, the Mets. The Dodgers, although losing three of four to the Cardinals, are riding high on yesterday's combined heroics of Chad Billingsley and Matt Kemp.

The Braves have a heroic duo of their own, their ace Hudson and the young phenom Jason Hayward, who leads the team with four homers. Meanwhile, Lilly has yet to make it past the sixth inning this season, so it's good Bills gave the middle relievers a rest yesterday. (Jonathan Broxton is another, hair-tearing concern.)

Oh, and it's time for some irrational hope. From @Dodgers:

Today the #Dodgers called up Jerry Sands and designated Xavier Paul for assignment

Okay Dodgers have run out of people to sing GBA.

Kyle Baker said...

Mrs Dusty said the same thing re Hangover 2, Josh.

I thought Hangover 2 was another name for Sunday morning.

Josh S. said...

^ me

Fernie V said...

Go job Ted, what a game, hopefully the bullpen (record scratch), good game Ted.

MR.F said...

My mlb.tv is slow by like 3 minutes. Everytime I refresh, it's look like I'm looking into the future!

Kyle Baker said...

Fuck, now I have a Nate McLout badge. I don't want no stinkin' badges from other teams (unless it's Nats).

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Nice outing for the Bull Moose.

Paul said...

Is there something offensive about the Hangover 2 logo I wasn't paying attention?

Or just the word hangover? Or the #2?

Kyle Baker said...

@Mr F

When you are looking into the future, do you see Carlos Monasterios?

Josh S. said...

Those look good. Where is there a Blimpie?

Kyle Baker said...

@Paul

I guess at least on its face it's having to explain to a 4 year old what a hangover is? Dunno, not a parent...

Josh S. said...

Paul: They show the trailer on the DodgerVisiom before the 7th.

NicJ said...

@Josh, there is one two cities down from me in San Dimas.

It isnt that great. Any small Italian deli would probably be better.

Josh S. said...

Can't type for shit tonight.

Kyle Baker said...

Weak swing, Of Jesus.

Josh S. said...

@Nic: Dtupid commercials make everything look good.

Josh S. said...

Change your name to Jerry, Ivan.

Fernie V said...

Freakin DeJesus, I thought you would be good.

Josh S. said...

Jesus Christ, I cannot spell anything.

NicJ said...

@Josh, you're telling me, Summers Eve tastes nowhere near as good as the commercial makes it seem.

Fernie V said...

Hey Josh, how about saying, Ivan DeJesus, its easter man.

Paul said...

Those Neck cigarettes are probably overrated as well.

Fernie V said...

not that I've been to church lately, but it would make me giggle.

Kyle Baker said...

It's also Passover. As in Prado just passed over that fly ball.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

KILL HIM WITH YOUR HEAT VISION, CASEY

Paul said...

Okay Dre. I miss your homeruns.

Fernie V said...

ha passover ha, is Karina related to him or something

Kyle Baker said...

Ethier due.

Paul said...

The guy is from Kokomo and his name is beachy!

Paul said...

Beachy vs Sands! Who wins?

Paul said...

We all have a little Juan Pierre in us.

Kyle Baker said...

15 game streak for Dre!

Fernie V said...

15 games baby

NicJ said...

damn!

Paul said...

That would be out at Yankee Stadium.

Josh S. said...

That was a cool little moment between Kemp and Lopes.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Ah nuts.

Kyle Baker said...

I thought that ball was going to t-bone Barry Zito! Wow. Out of there in so many parks.

spank said...

I thought I was listening to Steiner for a second. Vin got me all pumped up for a fly out

Fernie V said...

That Steiner gets you excited, like getting your balls liked and then the car pulls into the driveway.

Fernie V said...

balls licked, freakin Josh, now I got it

Kyle Baker said...

"getting your balls liked"

Heh.

Paul said...

Will someone make me a retro t shirt with Kemps face and the words "hey don't do that shit here boy!" on it.

I'll pay Target prices!!!

Kyle Baker said...

They just re-showed Kemp. I'm pretty sure he said what Mrs Dusty thought he said, not the "boy." But it sounds better.

MR.F said...

Yeah. I'd pay Target prices for any Matt Kemp shirt, tbh.

Josh S. said...

So #55 went from the French-Canadian to the guy with a butchered French name.

NicJ said...

And both #55's have a tendency to strand runners.

Josh S. said...

Siddown, Larry!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

How is MattyG getting it done?

Kyle Baker said...

Chipper looks 176 years old now. Or is that his BA?

Paul said...

Urine almost killed me with one of those foul balls on opening day.

Kyle Baker said...

Don't you love it when they show highlights from, like, 8 minutes ago set to some hip song?

spank said...

Hells yeah.just saw the Lilly retaliation pitch.

(cries)

Josh S. said...

C'mon, Fatty.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Dusty - No, not particularly.

Josh S. said...

I don't believe what I just saw!

spank said...

Urine squirts one.

Paul said...

Everytime I see Trey Hillman I want him to pull out some six shooters and fire them wildly.

Josh S. said...

28,292 paid. Christ.

Paul said...

Paid Christ for what?

Kyle Baker said...

Mrs Dusty in Law has proclaimed that Loney is BACK and said I could book it here in this space.


(denies)

Paul said...

I'd like another hit please. Maybe a double just to get Urine some exercise.

Josh S. said...

Nuts.

Paul said...

The Dream is over.

NicJ said...

Sands in the worst slump of his career.

Josh S. said...

C'mon, Roddy. We still need a little Broxton-proofing.

Kyle Baker said...

MLASC and Nic- Sands' slump is all your fault!

Josh S. said...

Kempy rocking a better beard than Blake. He's the total package.

Kyle Baker said...

Urine may need a pinch runner after all that exercise going first to third.

MR.F said...

Jerry Sands, substitute teacher? What a great kid!

Paul said...

Let's get it done Marcus.

Kyle Baker said...

@Josh

That's why I was dry humping him so much.

MR.F said...

(yes, that is how far behind my feed is)

NicJ said...

what are you talking about? My avatar is a bench of very tiny pebbles.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

My avatar is of the Rat Pack in front of a defunct casino-resort.

Kyle Baker said...

And what's your excuse, Josh?

Paul said...

300

Fernie V said...

Change it bastards, he is now batting a clark kent .333

Josh S. said...

My avatar is #68, Barry Sands.

Fernie V said...

I really liked the Super Dave, it is my second favorite next to Spanks - Fletch.

Kyle Baker said...

My god, I'm not meaning to run this Broxton thing into the ground, but he seriously doesn't fool anyone any more and doesn't throw particularly fast compared to himself of old. I guess at least he's not Ryan Franklin.

Orel said...

Broxton doin' his thang. Two on, no out.

Josh S. said...

Son of a bitching bitch.

karina said...

it's never easy with Brox

Josh S. said...

Booooo, indeed.

NicJ said...

Bring Sands in to close.

Kyle Baker said...

Karina's avatar: representation of Broxton's ERA.

Fernie V said...

they should let sands pitch, or switch Loney back to a pitch and move sands to first.

Kyle Baker said...

Are you really 3-0 to Freddie Fucking Freeman?

Fernie V said...

Ivan DeJesus, Loney back to a pitcher, shit

NicJ said...

Just need a triple play.

NicJ said...

has he gotten a swing and miss yet?

Paul said...

Anyone seen that fan fumble away the foul ball?

Avoiding Bubba shooting the jukebox.

NicJ said...

whatever, its an out.

Josh S. said...

Padilla for closer.

spank said...

Broxton hasn't finished this shit yet? Fuck!

Josh S. said...

@Nic: This season?

Kyle Baker said...

"Broxton Sucks" trending on Twitter.

spank said...

Bring in Mary Hart!

Paul said...

Padilla's closer song could be three dog night's Joy to the World

Josh S. said...

Dusty is using misdirection to keep us from noticing that Sands was doing great until HE brought up a jinx.

Kyle Baker said...

Mary Hart can like my balls.

NicJ said...

On Facebook?

Fernie V said...

Brox is all we got, Jansen been talking with brox,

Kyle Baker said...

I wish I were thinking that craftily tonight, Josh. Way too tired and cranky for that.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Ach.

NicJ said...

we got this.

Fernie V said...

i bet she a good ball liker

Kyle Baker said...

Beer status: stone cold sober

Josh S. said...

I would also prefer Jansen or a pitching machine as closer.

Paul said...

Sitting dead red.

Kyle Baker said...

We should trade for George Sherrill.

NicJ said...

Dont worry guys, Hawksworth is backing him up.

(cries)

NicJ said...

NEVER A DOUBT!!!

Josh S. said...

Well then.

Kyle Baker said...

Game ball to Jerry Sands.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

We win!

Paul said...

We make party!!!

Broxton no invited.

Kyle Baker said...

Game balls to Fernie V.

spank said...

I'll remember Broxton struggling with a 4 run lead thank you very much

Kyle Baker said...

No one put an hourglass as their AVI?

Fernie V said...

That Brox wants to keep his ERA above 6, so he doesn't make the All-Star team and really lose his confidence again.

Josh S. said...

This Chris McGee is a goober.

Fernie V said...

Only if they get liked

Kyle Baker said...

They're chanting for Sands while he's doing the post-game interview. That's awesome.

spank said...

Good game ,Sands. Keep it up. But I'm still not sold.

Fernie V said...

How come all of us knew this kid would be good, but the Nedster missed it.

Fernie V said...

Spank the kool-aid is good, just like my friend Jamal's mom used to make.
