Jon Garland (1-1, 4.15) vs. Ricky Nolasco (2-0, 3.00).
Andre Ethier brings his 21-game hit streak to Sun Life Stadium, née Land Shark Stadium, née Dolphin Stadium, née Dolphins Stadium, née Pro Player Stadium, née Pro Player Park, née Joe Robbie Stadium. Ah, Marlins tradition.
But hey, they have the Marlins Mermaids. The Dodgers? Well after getting Vicente Padilla back Saturday, they could get Dioner Navarro back today. Let's see which has a bigger impact on today's game: Padilla, Navarro, or the Mermaids.

My money is on the Mermaids.
My friend Terry Spencer, editor for AP in So. Florida and lifelong Dodger fan will be at this game.
Probably the entire series since he has season tix. I believe they were 10 bucks each with 5 boxtops from Count Chocula.
No Boo-berry??
Today's lineup appears to be 33% middle infielders.
Wait a minute, where is Glenda?
@Jason, that's some cold shit there
@Sax - That lineup is also 55.5% sub-Mendoza. This does not bode well for carrying over the offensive explosion from Wrigley.
Also, I met one of your Dodger blogger compatriots last night. Turns out Chris from dodgerfan.net and I now live in the same neighborhood. We were the only two at the bar wearing Dodger blue while watching the Lakers last night.
Oof, I just looked up this lineup on B-R.com. Pitchers with a higher OPS+ than Loney (12) include:
Billingsley (24)
Kershaw (53)
Ely (54! with the awesome line of 2 PA, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 CS)
Loney has an outside chance of hitting what has to be an all-time low tonight. If he goes 0-5 with 5 Ks, he will have as many strikeouts as total bases. I'm pretty sure I could manage that against MLB pitching.
@Sax: 2:09
I love all of the berries:
Booberry
Frankenberry
Count Chocula (whose bobblehead stands right between Loney and Greedo at my office.)
You like Dingleberry,Neeebs?
I believe the Marlins offered skybox luxury seats if you sent in 10 Frankenberry boxtops.
In reality, my friend said that his season seats are in a good location and were way cheaper than what we pay here in LA.
The drawback is that one of the teams you see each game is the Marlins.
@Neeebs
Your batting gloves are your shorts*
*See Neeebs embacadero shorts.
Neeebs posted a line up again! One more and SOSG gives you a free sandwich.
Dinner comes off the DL. AJ Ellis sent down. If this happens in the woods, will anywhere hear it?
The woods being Marlins' stadium.
How many light-hitting white guys can we fit in one lineup? I'm counting Loney, BTW. If there were more, it would be my junior high intramural team.
Although I think we had more big names and a better team BA.
@Paul:
I'll where my embarcadero shorts for my Fresno Court appearance that may occur next month. I hope it is in conformity with the local rules.
The Neeebs is heading to the No?!! I need to get to the local newspaper.
Federal or Our local Civil Hall of Justice?
Dre at 22!
I forgot the game was on. (iPhone wanted to spell forgot "Gorky".)
just threw up a separate post commemorating Andre's 22-game hit streak, tied fro April's longest.
Now, let's get back to this one.
I would like someone to punch Collins in the sack three times every time he calls a third baseman a "third sacker."
Were there even three consecutive innings played without a run at Wrigley?
Florida is switching the name to the Miami marlins next year???
Shit. I jinxed it.
I gotta wear that.
Josh, that sounds like a great fundraiser to help spring for bullpen help. Step right up and hit Eric Collins in the sack three times!
Gotta at least salvage a run here, guys.
Kemp got robbed there on that GIDP. The Marlins' third baseman didn't even look like he expected to field that smoked ball
Eh, at least it wasn't a triple play.
There ya go, Mr. C.
That's the way.
Sands, baybee!
Tie game
Plus the thievery. The kid might just be getting his legs under him.
That was pathetic, James.
I'm starting to agree with Dusty. IJL
God, that swing looks awful.
Cubs up on the Rox 2-0 and the Cubs aren't out of their half of the first yet
Considering that we just pounded the shit out of Cubs pitching, I'm gonna say they'll need 'em.
Way to coax a walk Miles
Damnation.
I demand replay! That hit the yellow stripe!
Oh, F JL.
Sands will never score with Loney hitting behind him
Dammit, FJL, we are really losing patience with you. the argument about you was you could never hit for power but you can hit for average. Now you can't even do that. WTF?
Man, this is frustrating.
Is it time to start a Free Trayvon Robinson campaign so Sands can be moved to first?
Hell, I'll settle for a Free John Lindsey campaign.
Dude we gotta get something here
Bee-utiful bunt Garland. 2 RISP
That was acceptable. Can Garland go the distance again, though?
Epale everyone! we're winning!
Damn, I was certain that was gone.
Epale, Karina!
You can take my spot, I'm heading home in a split second.
I'll take it
Cheap RBI opportunity for Loney. Might as well keep those counting stats up, James.
Vicente is back!
That graphic stacking Coghlin's two HR swings made me slightly nauseous.
Unrelated: welcome to the ballgame, Battletoad!
Neeebs, when you come to the 'No, let me Know, I'll buy lunch!
@Mr C I'll try because today nothing seems to work for me, i.e any Safari users are experiencing to be directed to the main page while hitting refresh?
Damn! Padilla's breaking ball is really moving tonight.
if I call the double play, will it come?
it didn't :(
Mattingly take Vicente's ass out!!!
Son of a biscuit-eating bulldog.
Oh, that's better.
Fucking matt kemp bailed out Padilla.
Ah... making the first and third outs at third base in the same inning. I'm pretty sure that violates rules 1 and 1(a) of base running.
Garland should have stayed in one more, if only because the pitcher's spot is due to bat in the ninth.
I never understood the
Never make the third out at third" rule. Shouldn't the rule be "Never make the third out?"
Crap we don't have that extra run cushion for broxton.
At least the Dodgers didn't sign John Buck to replace that sonofabitch.
This is all MSTI's fault.
it's never easy with Brox :(
Brox, this is not good
Lyons thinks we are fine. So I'm worried
What the fuck, wide eyes?
Jamey's cryin'.
@Czar don't blame him alone...
If Brox was decent, we wouldn't be in this situation
Think kershaw can do double duty and close games too?
Fucking pathetic
Well, that sucked.
Broxton got absolutely jobbed on some calls.
I blame Eric collins
I take all the blame, I called the win before the game was over.
Not getting Bonifacio out was Broxton's biggest crime.
Broxton often seems to get his share of shitty play behind him.
PGT up.
