Ted Lilly (-, -.--) vs. Matt Cain (-, -.--).
 |  |
Before we proceed further, let's catch up on some old business. Just replace "Day 2" with "Day 3"; the meaning's the same:
- A Celebration of Day 2 (Joe Posnanski, SI.com)
Done? Good. Everything's gone right for the first-place Dodgers so far; Don Mattingly's pushed all the right buttons, and the Giants have cooperated by gifting them a few extra outs per game. More is expected of Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw this year, and they've gotten off to stellar starts.
Now let's see if some of the less sexy names can come through. Will a strong start by Lilly today make us less impatient for the return of Jon Garland and Vicente Padilla? When will we hear from Andre Ethier? Is Juan Uribe, who had a precautionary x-ray yesterday, ready to return?
So many questions, and not a Magic 8 Ball in sight. Let's focus on three in a row instead.
UPDATE: From @kengurnick:
First-base coach Davey Lopes has left the team for a few days after a death in the family. Dave Hansen will replace him.

Calling Andre Ethier. Are you with car 54? Are you lost in space? Come out come out wherever you are.
SoSG isn't caching correctly or something weird on the internets. Take this Jimbo shit down. have to do a search and then leap through a space/time/cache continuum to get here. Help!
Looks like I'll have to do that voodoo that I do so well.
(cries)
(throws phone)
(gives up)
"We are the Jimbo’s."
Get rid of that fucking extraneous apostrophe. Did you do that just to piss me off?
duck hunt <3
it made my day!
I'm sad I missed all the Jimbo fun but I worked for 21 hours straight and today I'll work again.Wish I could read the Jimbo manifesto...
You really don't, Karina.
Just arriving at the Yard. Infield Reserve today - give a brother a shout if you're around.
This Jimbo plans on staying a Jimbo. This Jimbo doesn't know how to continue being a Jimbo while ignoring non-Jimbos, so This Jimbo has decided to communicate with non-Jimbos. This Jimbo hopes other Jimbos will forgive.
PotJ!

De Jesus 4

That you, MB?
Checking in from the Yard. First Dodger Dog of the season: consumed. Beer status: Large Dos Equis. Future beer status: moreMoreMORE!!!
Blake Frikkin Dewitt with a 2 run double for the Cubs to cap a 5-run bottom of the 8th, Cubs lead 5-3 over the Pirates
Have fun, DB! Wish I could be there
Beer status: Bison IPA, in honor of Kemp's hot start.
Another national game. Who do we get today Joe Buck? Yuck.
EK's hair is back to being insane.
EK rocking the lion's mane.
I'm not loving EK's hair either but I'd rather look at him then Tim McCarver and Joe Buck
The only thing in Brian Wilson's beard is Hep C.
1-2-3 for Lilly!
That's a good start. Howdy, earthlings!
That last pitch was almost underground and Dre swung at it.
Well, that's as many pitches as he saw yesterday, so…improvement, I guess?
The problem with all these shots of Downtown is I usually see my office.
Looking good Teddy
Gameday has something called "Nasty Factor."
Stupid Fox blackouts. I get the Tiger-Yankee game. The only good thing about that is that I get to watch Brad Penny be mediocre. He's already given up three first-inning runs
Bison double!
Kempnasty!
Matt Kemp: En fuego.
Matty scoots to third!
Gameday is all fancy schmancy.
@MLASC Hep C from Pat Burrell manchowder
cmon X - make them cut Gibbons
rats - needed that flyball from Gimenez
D'oh.
That's a shame.
Russ is battling AJ Burnett's wildness. Not a good combination
And Burnett looks like he's been at a rave, gurning his jaw like he's on extacy
There goes the no-hitter.
Way too many Giants fans at the park
The Yankees on Fox next week? Gotta mark that on the ol' calendar!
Dusty needs a refill
Ugh. 1-0 Giants.
Come on Ted.
Charlie said Padilla might be back in a week or so
Nice grab, Dre!
2R homer Mark Texcschierria.
Brad Penny stinks, sweats
All we need is a couple Giant errors.
ha! Fox is showing replays of A-rod being fed popcorn by Cammy Diaz at the Super Bowl
Man, they're just going to keep giving Christian Slater TV shows until something sticks, aren't they?
This lineup doesn't give me much hope.
Dammit. Miles is using the same music Podsednik used last season that I was never able to ID.
Miles specializes in ground outs back to the pitcher.
K I'll be back. I have to go bury a dead animal. Eveyday weekend on the ranch or good luck ritual?
We shall see.
The joint looks pretty empty today.
This lineup is pretty anemic. Now would be a good time for Dre to show up.
I wish that would have nailed burrell in the back of the head.
Snap poll: Will Aaron Miles have a more useless Dodger career as a Dodger infielder than Mike Edwards?
Belt really has the look of a Giant.
(Douchebag)
@Paul, make sure you use gloves when you are burying Brian Wilson's beard
DeJesus shouldnt be higher than 7th in the order
Mr C's. Poll...I think I'll be asking who was Aaron Miles just like I'm asking who was Mike Edwards?
get into one, Dre
Has DeJesus hit the ball yet these season?
Ivan De Terrible
Just refilled.
i'll take it
Ivan said he was looking forward to getting his first major league hit against Lincecum. So he is waiting for the next series to get a hit.
That last swing by Of Jesus had less of a chance of connecting than I did on prom night.
That's better!
That's worse!
le sigh.
Good play by out MSB
Why does Rowand wear us out?
Booooo
Siddown Cain. You slime ball.
We are just baiting the gints into giving Rowand more playing time.
you SOB, Tejada
why does he seem to kill us too? Pudge Rodriguez is a similar pain in our ass
It's going to take quite a bit of bloops and seeing eye singles to get those runs back.
I would have said the same last night. We ain't dead yet.
However, it isn't like we've been breaking the door down to get a run across.
We suck on FOX. This is never in doubt.
way too much cheering in the stadium
Yep. Now we're dead.
Jebus Christ.
MacDougal must always be in line behind Broxton at mealtimes.
Good call Josh!
Remember when we always made Cain our bitch? Why did we stop that again?
I hope that hurt
Well that inning sucked.
Oops...that was 100
A couple of Giant errors now please.
This place is half empty (for Karina: half full). Really sad. I feel guilty for not standing in the beer line.
Wait, for the record: I am buying beer; it's just that there are no lines.
Why should people go to dodger games? TJ Simers already told us the team was going to suck.
time for a big hit!
not that
This one is over.
Giants Dodgers opening night was the lowest rated since 2002.
Although hasn't opening night the last couple of years been the only game on that day?
Fuck this game is really over.
If my phone is working here, that means attendance is down bc I am certain ATT has not upgraded their networks.
(cries)
Speaking of crying like a schoolgirl, where is Mr F?
Has anyone heard about what happened with the Dodgers fan that was hit by Oyster Pubes bat?
Dodgertalk after te game said the guy was fine.
Nice walk to the pitcher Cain.
Nice walk to the pitcher Cain.
Thanks Nic
How many games will it take us to score 6 runs?
Dodger fans should be packing it up soon. The crowd is starting to boo. Fights will break out soon. Classic Smell A.
The curse of the Fox broadcast continues
We are missing all of Davey's mojo
TROLL!
TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!
(That was for Karina.)
Turn it around, Blue. I'm in the house tomorrow and I won't stand for this kind of play.
Chris Rose is such a tool
Everytime I see Brian Wilson's beard I feel like I need to itch.
Loney hitting a cool .100
Furcal is a funny guy.
We aren't going to score, are we?
And I'm out.
Freddy Sanchez has more HR's than the dodgers this year.
At least postgame dodgertalk should be fun today.
We're getting the shit knocked out of us.
Russell Martin hit a HR. Proving anyone can hit it out at Yankee stadium.
A.J. Ellis warming up in the bullpen.
Miles was 0-4 today with two horrible throws from third base.
Get well soon Beard.
PGTUP
Well that really sucked.
This reads like a sad,sad state of affairs.
