Hiroki Kuroda (2-2, 3.33) vs Carlos Zambrano (2-0, 4.21).
Happy Easter, everyone! Nothing like waking up super-early yet again for the rubber match of our 2011 visit to Wrigley Field. In the first game, the Dodgers scrambled the Cubs; in the second game, the Blue let one slip away and were beaten. Against big Carlos Zambrano today, will we lay an egg? Or crack some ourselves, and make us an Easter brunch omelet?

How the fuck does Miles keep leading off?
He has pictures of Mattingly
Still urine-free!
Epale everyone! Happy Easter!
just got back from a a 3-day vacation and spent my morning "here".Church can wait and Jesus understands ;)
Hey, what about us non-believers?
I like how Mattingly keeps going with Sands. In for a penny, in for a pound. Let the kid have a ride and see if he grows into it. That's what we have to do given lack of depth anywhere else. I was on Los Banos when he made that great throw yesterday. Only throw I saw was the one where it took three throws to relay the ball in from right center. At Wrigley. And no one was covering home.
@karina, DeJesus understands as well.
Steve Lyons: Worst. Tie. Ever.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I will donate a chocolate bunny to my nephew for every hit Loney gets today.
On Dodgers Live, why are we getting batting tips from James Loney?
Lyons wanted to see C. Zambrano in Dodger Blue? WTF? Yeah, that's exactly what we need in the dugout.
Let's get Milton Bradley back, too.
Good Morning All!
Happy Easter!
Wassail!
Oh my gawd! I just saw Psycho's tie
I gotta look at this train wreck of a tie
Pretty nice piece on Mattingly's roots, right there
Jeez, that commercial with the mug shots is a scary anti-drug ad. Yikes.
5-6-7 in the lineup: the valley of death
Sands, Loney, Barajas: all sub-.200
Urine out with a right quad injury
Miles leadoff triple!!!!!!
Nice!
3X bases up in dis bish!
Ducks on the pond already. Fuck you Zambrano.
And fuck you, Shane Victorino.
Miles looks a lot like a smaller pudgier Eric Karros
Zambrano pegs Blake, what a punk
Make him pay, boys
Cubs catcher looks like R2D2.
Happy Easter to ya', dusty (and the dusty family)
"Going somewhere, Soto?"
Barney almost got Andre at first anyway...but Ethier extends the hit streak and scores Miles!
21 game streak! You da man, Dre!

21 Jump Street!
I want chocolate rabbits.
Soriano "isn't an aggressive left fielder" is an interesting way to describe Soriano's skill set.
Like Sands through the hourglass!!!
JERRY, HELLO!
JERRY CHRISTMAS!!'
Wrong holiday.
Zambrano laying an egg on this easter afternoon.
Please tell me Loney can hit this punk bish.
Of course LOney makes the first out.
Nonetheless, I'll take it! 4-0 with only one out.
Loney is not good.
What a start!
Nephew is not a fan of Loney.
Close enough for government work, Sands. We'll take it.
We'll need eight more to nail this game down.
I suppose we can't steal for the rest of the game now.
@Sax 11:27 that pun made my day
how many runs did the Dodgers bullpen allow in the ninth inning this week?
Tony Jackson being Mr negative on twitter.
Why can't this ever be easy?
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
Great pitching display today.
(cries)
What is Tony Jackson saying?
At least we can steal again.
C'mon Hiro. Don't give anymore back.
I am guessing 5-2 is not going to be the final score.
Come on, Hiro, focus
Running out to El Coyote for lunch. Back in a jif.
Kuroda ends up striking out the side.
We got this.
(lies)
I think everyone have up on that play.
I can see for Miles!
Barney looked like Betty throwing that ball
Are you still in the men's room, Jason?
I'm starting to hate Darwin Barney.
I passed out there for bit, Dusty.
5Ks for Kuroda. Hopefully he's righted his ship.
KKKKKuroda!!
Hiro is on a mission to kill any earthworms in the vicinity of home plate.
Don't show me that tobacco commercial on Easter.sick ,man
Jackie Robinson special airing right now on MLB Network. Dual tuned action going on right now at my place.
Kemp'd.
Come on, Jerry - this is perfect place for your first HR.
Kemps on fire!
Zambrano sucks!
Both of those statements are decidedly true, Spank.
LONEY?!
I'll take it...with some trepidation.
6-2 heading into bottom 3rd. Get the sense there are about 62 runs yet to be registered this afternoon.
Four run lead. Nephew's faith in Loney resorted. Sugar high eminent.
Road King James :)
He wants to be the greatest Beaver. Heh.
Nice beaver.
Have to head to RBN Land now. Catch yall in later innings.
Hey Ackbar!
What is up with the doofus and his comically oversized glasses sitting behind home plate?
Damn, Casey!
Dou-beard-play
Hey, kids! We're winning!
That was no strike, good sir.
I'll take the gift run.
Was it something I said? I showered today, I swear!
Getting quite, both in the thread and the game.
@Mr C I'm on a family's barbecue searching for excuses to pay attention to the GT and the game.
7-2. Come on, guys!
100
Sands is pretty damn aggressive on defense.
Nice play, rook.
Calling a sands HR.
Every time Sands makes a play like that in left, Loney breathes a little easier.
Damn, figured it was an ok bet because the new pitcher was just recalled.
Carroll: White men can jump (a little)
Hard boiled.
Thames, a two-run HR would be sweet here
Or even a single if Wood throws a pickoff move away
Or not
Orioles and Yanks tied in extras
SF down 2-0 to ATL in the third
River blows the save for New York. Ha ha!
@Sax any word on the badges?they weren't working today :(
sorry about your radio :(
R.I.P. Dodger helmet radio
Matt Kemp has a 2-for-5 day and his BA actually goes down.
#ThingsINeverThoughtIdSay
Birds!!!!
@karina - I got am Ichiro badge today so they seem to be working
James up. Nephew paying attention again.
James Loney, professional escape hatch.
That was the least surprising gidp ever
James Loney: King of the diaper mountain.
Loney must be stopped
Nephew not happy.
Pretty nice of the official Dodgers Twitter to congratulate Roberto on being a dad-to-be. They never did that for Delino.
We make party!
More daytime partying
Shoulda been a sweep.
Who did Roberto knock up?
Are you feeling bad about dogging on Aaron Miles when posting the lineup, Tsar?
ESPN will call this one a close victory.
we make party!
hey ya- Outkast
@Dusty his wife...
Miles is still batting .255, so no, I'm not.
@Jason you're right, I got an Aramis Ramirez badge, well, they weren't working earlier.
back to the barbecue...
Back over .500.
Back and Forth - Foo Fighters
@Marla

PGT up!
Badges (potentially) working!
Sax barbecue party about to commence!
There's a tear in my beer
