Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Look, we get it. Lilly and Dempster were once teammates. Wrigley Field and Dodger Stadium are both historic. Both clubs wear the color blue. Both clubs are suffering painful periods of heartache since their last WS title.
The Dodgers are 3-0 since Liberation, however. Let's see how today's day game goes.

Miles 4
Blake 5
Ethier 9
Kemp 8
Sands 7
Loney 3
Barajas 2
Carroll 6
Lilly 1
I guess sitting Uribe just as he gets hot is as good a decision as any.
Don't worry Loney will step in.
@Josh S: totally agree, why sit Urine NOW??!?!
Apparently Urine has some thigh tightness. Day to day like all of us.
And move Sands up in the lineup since he's blowing the roof off tha sucka at .139 or something like that.
I have some liver tightness this morning, but by god I'm going to get back out there today.
I once played with a fractured wrist. I lasted one foul ball but I played!!
What the hell is your avatar, Paul?
It is peep hole view of a wasted guy. It is from the show The Wire. Good ol Sgt. McNulty.
It was good representation of how I felt after that Braves beat down a few nights ago. Of course that was before we were set free...the bad times.
Come on, Chelsea!
Whoa...I wasn't following much news yesterday and just now saw that SoSG Dad is forming a group to buy the team. What do we think of that?
I happen to think it's great...
No mercy, Ted. WE are your family now.
First order of business will be for Garvey to restore order in the world by reinstating half-price beer days.
cc: Sax
I can't wait for the foam forearm giveaway.
Come on, teams I support who wear Blue!
^that?
Mrs. S says Miles looks like Andy Serkis.
Beard with the bunt single!
Good morning, everyone!!
Headed over to my cantina for some MEX breakfast and bloodys. They are putting Dodgers and CHelsea on the TVs for me. Back online in a flash.
Wassail, Karen!
We're in business...
Nice going, Castro.
I don't think I've ever seen a fielder drop the ball on purpose.
Dammit.
C'mon Ted, bring your mojo with you today
Starlin Castro and Darwin Barney: Weirdest named 1-2 in baseball?
Not Starlin's morning.
Jer-ry, Jer-ry!!
Nice play, Jerry!
Not Lilly's best start.
At least they cleared the pitcher's spot.
KCAL game. Crapola.
Damn that Charley Steiner. Listening to him in the top of the second, he said there was no score. I look on Gameday, and I see the Cubs HAD scored in the bottom of the first.
Wtf, Charley?
Does Lyons remember that they have a new stadium in the Bronx now?
Nice hitting, Kemp!
2011 Sands=2010 Kemp?
Tied up baybee!
Sands is a rookie. Go easy on him.
Not overall performance, just pitches he's swinging at.
Aw dammit
That certainly could have been worse.
Rihanna could have had a better relay throw than that, Kemp. Embarrassing.
Beer status: michelada
What a load of rubbish!
Beard blast!
Beard having himself a game.
@Dusty - Clam juice?
Beard Mode: engaged
Nice Casey!!!
*starts trimming beard*
Bison blast!
Well then. That's one way to get back in the game.
That shot of the spilled beer was awesome.
That's why you never throw a ball back.
(arm falls off)
That woman was so pissed.
Jerry Sands seems to be having Dejavu at bats.
Zoinks!! MacDougal is in.
Ruh roh.
Steve Lyons doesn't think Reed Johnson should be batting here
(2 on 2 out B5)
MacDougal takes forever between pitches
Lyons REALLY doesn't like Dempster batting here, now that Johnson walked to load the bases
MacD at 2-0...
Honeycutt out to remind MacDougal where the strike zone is
Lyons admiring MacDougal's lanky frame
2-2 count to Dempster
Shit, 3-2 count
That was scarey
Whew.
MacD gets Dempster to chase a low ball!
On to the sixth inning, Dodgers down 5-4
Love that Newcastle ankle-breaking commercial!
Rowdy Rod!
Booyah!
That was wind-assisted, but I'll take it.
In Rod We Trust!
Battletoad sighting.
This Collins-Lyons team, it is, how do you say, not good
(said with a Russian accent)
In Russia, broadcast team criticizes you.
Leaving Dempster in as the last out in the fifth doesn't seem like such a good idea at this point
Quite the pratfall for Soriano. Very Huff-esque.
Barajas continues the trend, all of his RBIs have come on home runs.
Also, Soriano is not a good fielder.
Pack of fuckin' cards! Hell yeah. Sitting here watching in a MEX cantina - locals loving their boy.
In Russia, broadcast done over tin cans and string. Very dee-feecult to hear.
I'm having trouble showing love for a guy batting .197 with 18 Ks and 4 BBs.
I hear the data rates on the tin can and string network will cost you and arm and a leg.
But talk and text are just pennies!
Dang, Tsar, tough crowd.
Too bad Dre couldn't get one more shot at Dempster.
@Marla:
Yeah, but he's better than the guy we had last year.
Has Barajas passed Martin for HR's this season (knowing that Martin is done hitting HR's for this season)?
Hey Sax,
Just use Z power or whatever that dood the McCrooks hired used.
Let's go Dre.
We need you here Dre
Nice hitting, Andre!
Boom Andre!!!
Ugly swing. Hasn't thrown a strike yet.
Dre!!!!! 20!!!!
Dre looking good sitting at 20.
Dre chasing Steve Garvey now for his 20-game hitting streak...in April
Let's go Matty.
That graphic made no sense
(just to be clear, that's an April hitting streak record, apparently)
(what a confusing graphic)
Fuck yeah. 7-5. We got this.
I think.
And the Dodger offense returns to reality. Still, I'll take it!
vPad returns!
Battletoad!
Good to see Padilla still has his glove his mom bought at Target.
Padilla, welcome back, good seventh inning there
Collins is obsessed with pointing out former teammates.
I'm watching this on MLB.tv and the Cleveland game radio broadcast is bleeding through during commercial breaks.
Sizemore just homered, fyi.
I miss 2010 Road Loney.
Jer-ry jer-ry jer-ry
And Rod gets his first non-HR RBI
Loved Jerry gluing his hand to the plate.
Can the Dodgers just play the rest of the season at Wrigley?
When did Kerry Wood return to Chicago?
Listening to Rick Monday try to describe the AtBat 2011 app (for an in-game commercial), he sounds so uncomfortable it's like he's speaking a foreign language
Oh shit, two on none out in the eighth. Tying run at the plate for the Cubs
Lyons sounds jealous about Fukodome's wife.
That was... Not good
Shit, come on Matt
Bases loaded none out
Shit, come on Matt
I concur.
Shit, come on Matt.
I feel like that guy who had his beer spilled by the idiot throwing Kemp's HR back. What just happened?
Shit now it's tied
Dammit Guerriererer
Barajas nailed the home plate ump in the head om that pick off throw.
Guerrier K for the second out keeps hope alive
This will not end well
Kemp to bat first in the ninth, then Sands and Loney (both sub-Mendoza)
Why isnt Urine playing again?!?!
WHAT IS GOING ON?!
This hook to Guerrier is coming waaaaay too late
@Josh S: Mattingly making more of his non-moves again
I seem to recall a non-move in the last Kershaw game almost costing us the game
I thought we had this game in the bag?
SHIT!
(Not really all that) Hot Sister in. We're saved now!
What the fuck!!
Why do we need three throws to get it to home at Wrigley Field.
GODDAMMIT MATTINGLY I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO .500!!!
Booooooooooooooooo!!
Excellent timing again getting Uribe up.
FUCK ME! This sucks/blows. I am really surly now and I am going to get hammered. Piss on you Cubs you bunch of....Cubs.
That's no good.
PGT up. Bitch away, Dodgers fans--I'm right with you, pissed off and frustrated.
