Clayton Kershaw (2-2, 3.00) vs. Chris Volstad (1-1, 6.60).
After the revolting end to yesterday's game, I'm going to volunteer this: We're going to win today's game. It may sound like a frivolous claim, but we've got our ace and their pitcher has a career 4.91 ERA against us. Sure, that's not volumes of evidence, but I'm also hoping the baseball gods will feel benevolent towards us today and take the edge off yesterday's volatile loss.
A win today will also involve good hitting. Wouldn't it be lovely if our offensive game evolved from singles and sacrifices to a megavolt, volcanic power game? Andre Ethier, with his 22-game hitting streak, and Matt Kemp, disciplined under his own volition, are a good place to start. My fan philosophy isn't convoluted; it just revolves around this simple thought: All you need is vole.

I'm feeling a win today.
I'm reeling a fin today.
I'm feeling like sin today.
Who's the surfer?
I wish I could listen to Vin today.
I see how it is...
Dear god, it sounds like we're gonna be "closer by committee" for a while...
...or not. The twitterverse is undecided.
Like all committees, our shall be mired in bickering, in-fighting, and indecision. ]
Wonnerful, wonnerful.
Broxton has gotten so fat he is being referred to as a committee now.
The surfer is the character named Volchok from the TV series "The O.C."
Alas, a closer's effectiveness is not directly proportional to his volume.
Broxton is the closer at an all-you-can-eat-buffet.
("YOU SO BIG! EAT VEGETABLE!")
We got spammed!!
There was a TV show called The O.C.? Funny, I've lived here for the better part of 35 years, and we never called this place, "The" O.C.
Never knew a surfer dood named, "The Volchok" either. Live and learn.
Right, funyhony??
spam: TERMINATED
Well, now my comment has lost all context. In other words, it sucks more than usual.
I want to see the Volstad Whacked.
We're winning!
For now, that is.
Andre!
I'm going to spend the rest of the day watching John Pinette videos.
"You go now"!
YOU SCARE MY WIFE.
Just put up a quick post commemorating Andre Ethier's historic hit today.
Now let's get back to this one.
FJL gets a rare single (raising his average to .179), with none out, and you can't score him? BOOOOO
(now he knows how his teammates feel)
By the way, what happened to GameDay's box score function? Extra base hits, among other things, are no longer listed?!
No time for committee.
Robinson Cano badge (NYY, HR) hits Sax's MLB Badges case!
Shit.
I am not a committee!
gaby f'ing sanchez mlb badge just appeared in my case, too.
Um...yay?
I didn't know the Florida Marlins were becoming the Miami Marlins.
KKKKK
Terrible play by Miles.
Aaron Miles, you suck. 2-2 tie.
dammit, we take a 2-1 lead, and give it right back. tied at 2.
Kershaw on second and Ethier only draws a four-pitch walk, most pitches about 10 feet out of the zone.
Ethier, you suck for not scoring Kershaw.
just kidding, Kemp will pick you both up right here
Kemp pops to second. Booooo
Nice play, Kershaw!
Gold Glove for Clayton Kershaw?
Matt LaPorta badge (CLE, HR)
Prince Fielder badge (MIL, HR)
Mitch Moreland gets bumped to badge case #3
I think it's too late and I'm beginning to hallucinate. I could swear it says that Loney has three singles. I think I need to leave work and have a drink.
David Murphy (Tex, double) badge!
@Loney Fan: 3-for-3...and Loney'a average is still sub-mendoza. (cries)
BTW Loney has no runs scored (cries)
leadoff single for Coghlan in the sixth, in a 2-2 tie. uh oh.
minotaur at 69 pitches. one out
Oy.
Blegh.
this is not good
bases full of fish, 2-2 count
FUCK
I thought we were supposed to win this game?
dammit, 4-2 fish
bad time for the wheels to come off the wagon here.
Dammit.
Nicely done, Son of Dougal! Dodgers down 4-2.
4-2 at the end of seven. let's go, dodgers!
whoops, jumped the gun there. only two out in the seventh
whoops, almost gave away my prescience there
now, it's 4-2 through seven
Ethier and Kemp get out to start the eighth.
we're f'd now, my friends.
Maybe it is just too high of expectations but Kershaw has been a little disappointing this year.
The season is still early though I guess.
Yeah, that 3.52 ERA is pretty lousy.
Loney 4 for 4!
Pretty pathetic AB by Barajas there.
Road Urine?
PGT up.
