Chad Billingsley (2-1, 4.13) vs. Anibal Sanchez (1-1, 3.55).
Anibal-Style Sanchez nearly threw a no-hitter his last time out, against the Rockies. The Dodgers have slidden (that's a word, right?) below .500 again. Do I go for the we're-so-going-to-lose-and-get-swept reverse jinx, or do I place my faith in Andre "Hit Streak" Ethier and Matt "The New Beard" Kemp? Decisions, decisions.

In n' Out for lunch. Food too,maybe.
Loney shall not be named by the Spank.
*yawn*
If they lose before 12 pm Pacific time does it really count?
I'm telling you something big is gonna happen in this game.
From DHurrr: Casey Blake is probably DL-bound. Elbow is infected. Fever spiked last night, forced him to go to a hospital. #Dodgers
This can only mean on thing...Blake has gone zombie!!!
One not on....anyways.... run for your lives the zombie revolution is underway!!!
We gotta keep grinding, starting with the pitching and fielding
Epale everyone!
Epale,Karina.
That was an uneventful top of the inning.
1st inning for the dodgers
gwynn ground out
carroll line out
ethier fly out
(cries)
@Sax save tears for later
(cries)
Eric Collins giving us the 411 on the weather. He's practicing for his next job as weatherman for the CW.
you can hit, James, don't forget...
Loney is hitting .204! He is the King.
@Spank even Kings have bad streaks :(
Rancho Ardiendo with one out for the Marlins :(
four straight singles off of Chadley and we're already losing 1-0 in the second
it's 4-0 now :(
I love Chadley.
Down 4-0 already, and we're hitless through three. We're toast.
Dre single!!!
Dre Day!
Damm we suck.
(cries)
WE GOT A HIT
and of course it's Andre Ethier, extending his streak to 24
we have to pitch better
I don't know what's more exciting, Loney singling or Barajas' 3-run HR
Barajas deals YAY!
Rodney swatting three run homers helps bad pitching
I thought Dre was suppose to be a leader this year?!? Psssh only 24? He doesn't understand baseball at all.
@ karina 9:18a: are you saying I'll be crying later?
only if you break my heart.
@Sax both in equal measure :)
we luck out and miss Josh Johnson - we have to win one of these games
Loney has to double for me to get his badge
dodgers down only 4-3. this will be a tease
Spanky's alter ego gets us back in it!!
Hope Chafley settles down.
wow, chad's first two pitches to dobbs (leading off the fourth) weren't even close
Someone tell Chad it's a day game
and of course, dobbs gets a 2-2 count...but walks
@Sax well, game was too young to start crying, so we should keep tears for the last third.
and as you already know, my heart is yours...
Joey Votto HR makes it 3-0 Reds, over the Brewers, with none out in the first
@karina: oh, Eric Karros and Orel are gonna be jealous....
well at least we got the force at second, i suppose
one out
nice work, Chad
nice mettle, Chadley
4-3 Fish through four
Jonny Gomes steals a base and joins Sax's badge display case
I'm at 37 badges
i'm totally addicted
50
I predict a badgervention for Sax sometime this season. What's rock-bottom? Watching each Yankee game hoping for a Phil Hughes strikeout?
nice sac, Chad. DeJesus to second with one out. SCORE HIM
Gwynn that does not get it done
DeJesus on third with Wide Eyes up
FJL, 5 hits in his last 6 AB (all singles)
i wish I could look this up, but it seems like Carroll only gets hits with nobody else on
@FB, I like that "Badgervention"
@FB: Carroll could look that up for you...while he's looking at something else at the same time
I thought karina digged herself some badges as well, no?
If karina does it, it must be cool
no doubt. my case is empty
FB, I think it's just you and me in the SoSG bar at this point
Marlins are yanking Sanchez after only 74 pitches? That's weird.
into the Florida bullpen, Sanchez is out for some reason
As Neon Trees sang in their hit song, "Anibal": Oh oh, I want some more
Andre pulls a Loney and Ks
Kemp HR right here, I'm calling it
@Saxy - I've been laying off the SOSG liquor for a while but it's nice to be back. I went on vacation and as soon as I did, we did well versus the Braves and Cubs while I was away so I didn't want to mess with any mojo by coming back here.
come on Matt, get me a badge
Matty with an infield hit.
That was a frustrating out last year
single for Kemp, I'll take it
I want a burger.
Fish have to pitch to Kemp with Loney protecting him
Loney double would badge me (and floor me as well)
Matt survives a pickoff again
and Matty sneaks to second on a wild pitch!
pretty sneaky, sis
Sax, I'm totally obsessed like you with the badges! we could be on the pilot episode of "Badgervention"
Loney loneys
3-2 count and Loney Ks. Sigh.
Two out, and here is Rodster
Kemp sitting on second like a rabbit
0-2 to Rod
Rod rods
@Sax my heart was stolen by the three of you but you're the sweetest spot ;)
Barajas won't get a hit for another three games. But it will be a homerun.
You know who likes the sweet spot of the heart? Casey Blake. Zombies!!!!
SAY IT AIN'T SO KARINA
@Paul: are you saying that because of his elbow infection?
Oh no, here comes Orel, riding in on his white horse...
one-out walk for stanton
Orel is a horse racist?
Does anybody have a picture of Casey's Popeye arm?
goddamn walks
I have seen wayyyy to much of Mike MacDougal the last few days
Settle down Chadley, you got this
Near double-play, quick-ass Bonifacio beats the throw.
2 outs, time for a Marlins hit to infuriate me
my sons, keeping my heart and head upside down since 2008...
@Peter's Brim Orel is a blue prince!
Big K from Chawick, 3 outs
leadoff hit for Miles, now let's get him around!
Erin Miles with the lead off hit!
Hello Everyone!
Miles to second on the bunt, Juan Uribe to pinch hit!
Cmon Juanny, get him home!
ooh a balk! Miles to third!
Sac fly, please!
Come on Uribe, you can do this
how boring did that just sound?
bunt, balk, sac fly? i'll take it if we get that run across
base hit, JUANNY!
tie game!
hi Positive Karen, nice timing!
Juan Uribe ties the game. That was...unexpected.
URINE RBI! game's new!
Yay Uribe!
Sax, did you got the Weeks badge (MIL, 2B, double)?
cmon Jamey, let's get a hit with a runner on!
walks work, too!
Webb spun
I think it's time for Andre to go yard on Choate
rats - could have used one there
Well crap. Choate really has Dre figured out.
Morning.. er afternoon... er mornernoon everyone. Just settling into what looks to be a 30+ hour day at work. Could be worse ways to start off a day like this than streaming the game at my desk.
Collins and Lyons still suck, though.
throw strikes!
no walks!
When does the game start?
Oh what! That's not right.
Has Barajas passed Martin's HR mark from last year yet?
The last 2 years?
cmon Matty, get us going!
nice, Matty. Now go to second
Nice AB, Matty.
Funny, Kemp and Barajas each have 5 HR's.
Kemp hitting .380; Barajas below the Loney Line.
why do you say that Bay Alarm promotion "when an opposing runner gets thrown our...." when we might be stealing? Who produces the radio show?
@rbnlaw my son will be an All-Star this year, with another team
(cries)
cmon James!
ball 4! 1st and second, nobody out
Lets get somebody home!
*does anti-double-play dance*
Loney walked? Go figure.
Hey karina, if ends up at Pittsburgh, he won't be their worst batter. They have Brandon Wood for that title.
Cmon Rodney, get it done
Gameday labled ball 1 a "sinker." Looked like it was above his head.
rats - that was useless
Aaron Miles basehit?
@rbnlaw what did I do to you so you started bullying me?
take three pitches, Aaron
Rancho Dejesus!
Someone seems to have a bad case of the yips.
get him home, kid!
Bases walked RA for the good guys
Rancho Aladobo!
karina,
Me? Bullying?
I was trying to put a brightside on FJL's lack of offense.
Hey, at least he's still battling!
WTF
take
a
goddamn
pitch
DeLoney
De Jesus, was it too hard to wait for a second pitch?
The shittiest of RBI's. The GIDPRBI.
Opportunity; wasted (almost).
Oh, My mistake.
Opportunity completely wasted. I was looking at the 7th.
Nice going, DeJesus!
Sweet deJesus, that sucked
@rbnlaw I totally pictured him wearing yellow and black :(
Karina--I love your avatar.When I had my daughter, it was nothing like this. Do you know how far along your sis/sis-in-law was when this sonogram was taken?
on to the 9th.
Let's get some runs, starting with a Thames HR
@karen :_(
well,she had 20 weeks...but now my sister in law is at the hospital,she had contractions yesterday :( it seems Miranda is in a hurry to come out :(
just get on, Tony!
Oh sista I'm so sorry. I'll keep Miranda in my prayers. My daughter was a preemie so I know how scared your sis must be. :(
crapcrapcrap - gotta go do an interview. please get us a win while I am away!
karina,
They are very flattering colors.
*cries*
Bottom of the ninth everyone. Fasten thine seatbelts!
Freaking Dobbs
@Sax 10:49 see @Paul 8:22.
Basically yes Casey is a Zombie or in A Pre zombie stage.
@karen thank you very much,sista.That's what we've been doing.
gotta go for a sec, hold on the fort.
Much like Mr. C's Lakehouse sequel screenplay this won't end well.
Miles ensuring we will lose this game with an error. How Carrollesque.
We're screwed.
How bout them lakers?
Charley passed a kidney stone for that Guerrier K (still one out to go, Steiner)
That was a bit of a nerve wracking ninth
Holycrap. We didn't lose In the ninth!?!
Well, that was a pleasant surprise.
Time to score a run only to give up two in the 10th.
DRE!
MR. Walk off (kinda)!!!
Whoop, there it is!
Take note, IDJ!
Ethier!!!!
Yeah, paul, we need kemp to hit one out for the dodgers to possibly win.
Charley called it as a fly ball until the very end, btw
Really, if the rest of the team could just hit half as well as KempEthier, we'd be right up Colorado's tailpipe right now.
And in some cases, I mean "half" literally.
That Andre is a good hitter.
Innnnnnteresting: Padilla warming up, not Brox
@rbnlaw: I don't think I want to be up anyone's tailpipe
Well, this should be interesting.
I gotta bad feeling about this.
ONE MORE TO GO!
So will Padilla's closer song be anything from Toad the Wet Sproket?
I think brox pitched 3 games in a row, and that is why he isn't in. According to Donnie, he is still the closer...
..until Kuo comes back..hehehe
Finally a fricking win.
Making workplace party!
Nice play by The Jesus.
We make party!!!!
We're .500, We're .500!!!
we make party!
The funniest thing happened on Gameday.
It says the Dodgers won. Oh, what?
Watch out for zombies everyone.
Either says that 3-3 on the road trip, is kinda of a success. Aim High, Andre!
I hope we can sign Andre again.
@rbnlaw yellow and black can be very stylish...and for bees, too :(
Post-Game Thread (finally) up, boys and girls!
Where did everyone go?
(cries)
I called it. Dre Day!!
