Hiroki Kuroda (-, -.--) vs. Barry Zito (-, -.--).
 |  |
For legal reasons they're calling it a "sleeved blanket," but we all know better: It's Snuggie Night at Dodger Stadium! While Dodger fans swaddle themselves in fleecy goodness, we ask the hard questions. Is it "Kershaw and Bills, and take your blood pressure pills" (courtesy of SoSG Sax), or can Kuroda prop up the back end of the rotation?
Meanwhile, Zito is making his first start of the season after being T-boned in West Hollywood on Wednesday. We hope he's all right, but he was driving a Bentley, so, like, our sympathy can only go so far.
Series split or 3-1 series win? Sleeved blanket or Snuggie? Don't be fooled; Dodger fans want the real thing.
Sax's note: I will be there this (early) evening, for my first game of the season. Even better, I'll probably be even more warm and more snuggable than last year! Please drop me a line in this chain if you are down at field level, third base side...I'll be the one in the mustard-stained Dodgers poncho.

Josh S, Dusty: Hope to see you guys tonight. Dusty knows the coordinates.
Many Bothans died to bring us this information.
Barry Bonds: These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Not the first time Zito has been " T-boned in West Hollywood," I presume.
enjoy the game Josh,Dusty and Sax!
for the rest of you, try to comment since I'm gonna miss the game, I'll be working on a film all night long. Your comments and GameDay make me feel like I didn't miss the game :)
Where is my boy Padilla at? Head hunters for life.
And of course afterlife....
Dusty - Thaty's hilarious.
You guys need to model the snuggies...faces blurred of course.
Excellent idea, Dodgerbobble. I will adopt the Loney/snuggie pose for a picture tonight and send it to the marketing and outreach team at SoSG for processing.
I think i'm going to look like one of those Dodger gnomes wearing that sleeved blanket.
Or like a short, portly, drunken Gandalf.
This Jimbo loled at DB's 2:30 comment.
I had no idea Melkey Cabrera had gone from Bravos to Royales this season. I almost feel sorry for they guy.
Furcal, SS
Carroll, 2B
Ethier, RF
Kemp, CF
Uribe, 3B
Loney, 1B
Barajas, C
Thames, LF
Kuroda, P
Nor did I realize that Carlos Santana was playing 1B now (he made his debut at the position today, initiating a triple play for the Tribe).
Heading out, lasses and lads. Have a great GT! Looking for a lot of snark and Hate from you all (especially Karen - I can feel the Hate building in you).
Dusty out.
Don't tell me what to do.
Nevermind, you can tell me what to do.
@ Karina
Porno?
@Dusty 3:48...You know my HATE well. Have a great time along with Saxy and Josh at the yard tonite and I'll do my best to not disappoint you on the GT end.
Okay let's take 3 of 4 from these chumps!
"Tell us about their defense, Bobby."
"They were terrible."
Jeez, Bobby, tell us what you really think.
i wish Huff really did die.
douche
I just called,to say,I hateHateHATE you!
blind hate
Thank you Dr. Valentine.
Siddown, Voodoo Child!
I don't want to hear about all the personality in the gnat clubhouse. They are a bunch of mofos.
^Word
Brian Wilson has the personality of a goat.
No wait, he has the facial hair of a goat. He has the personality of Gary Busey.
^I second that.
Whats up with the dick duster on Zito?
Zito looks like he's shooting a film in Chatsworth.
It's probably the film Karina is working on.
MSB MSB MSB!!
Yeah Yeah
Jesus Christ, ESPN, what's with the fucking camera angle? I had no clue if it went past Huff or not.
Oh wait, we scored! Yay!
That car accident earlier this week was nothing.
Get Ready for a beatdown Zito.
Zito maybe feeling the effects of his Wednesday night drive? Good.
MATT FUCKING KEMP
KEMP MOFO'S!!!!
FUCK YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
ZOMBIE NATION!!!!!!!!
BISON POWER BABY!!
Oh baby! What a hit! Good job kemp!
Im already tired of loney.
A double short of batting for the cycle that inning.
I am really hating on Ethier right now.
shit
Fuck you, fatty.
Who else is tired of listening about the weight this fat ass lost in the off season?
I'm done with these announcers.
what is burrell staring at?
Oh I'll bet the gnat fans are going to hate having to listen to Tommy!
I want moreMoreMORE runs
Happy we got off to a good start. I hope that wasn't it.
Was going to listen to Tommy but Simple Man is playing on the radio.
I want to connect Bobby Valentines face with my fist.
Siddown fat ass.
Hiro's mowing them down.
Is it too much to ask for another HR from Bison? Hells No!
How long is Wilson going to let that thing get??
Come on guys!!
This is Zito we are facing here.
Quick game.already the fifth.
You just know that there really is stuff living in that beard.
There are hobbits living in that beard.
Holy shit, Kuroda, that was nasty.
shit, here we go.
I'm not liking this.
Come on Hiro.
Fuck.
Well SHIT!
here comes the two out madness
Okay, not bad.
NOW SCORE SOME FUCKING RUNS.
Zito's serving up effing batting practice pitches...let's shake something loose Dodgers.
Uribe owes us a run.
I thought we were going to get through the night without having to look at Jon Miller.
I bet Dusty and Josh are doing the wave. They won't cop to it though.
can kemp carry this team a little more?
Zito walked a lefty, so you know he's falling apart.
Is that Bryan Cranston behind the on-deck circle?
Come on Kemp!!
Damn.
Shit, it's up to Urine.
Two out.
Two on.
Third out up to bat.
Okay Uribe let's see that clutch hitting.
this lineup is fucking horrible.
I imagine Dusty's starting a "UR-INE" chant right now.
Josh is likely shaking his head, grinning ear to ear.
If Burrell hits a homerun I am kicking in my tv.
Uribe doesn't feel like a Dodger to me. He still feels like a gnat. I hope he does something real soon to make me feel different.
I'm holding you to it, Paul.
this one is over.
enjoy over .500 while it lasts.
I fucking HATE Pat Burrell.
Fuck!!!
I watch the Dodgers too much so I kicked and missed
why was Thames playing in center?
This ain't going so well.
Kuroda is coming undone. Get him outta there Donnie!
Remember when we were up 3-0? That was fun.
Just like Ethier,Paul.
I'm about to come undone.
Thames scared the shit out of me with that catch.
But don't tell Slimers.
Wait, I shouldn't call him that. It's disrespectful towards the Ghostbusters character.
Yeah, I thought Thames looked a little rough around the edges on that catch.
So anyone feel optimistic about a run or two soon?
Dammit, cel service here is soooooooo bad. Will have to combine thoughts for the late At-Game Recap.
It would be nice to see James get a double.
Hey, Loney actually did something.
I'll take it.
Still dont feel optimistic.
A bunt? With these two slow ass guys?
Why the fuck is Barajas bunting?
Okay can we call the bunt off now?
Mattingly is Torre 2.0
SUCK IT, SIMERS!
SUCK IT, VOODOO CHILD!
YES!!!!
AUBREY! AUBREY! AUBREY!
Ha ha!!!
Huff looked like a little girl going after that.
Oh boy Miles.
I'll take that too!!
Holy shit, Miles with the pinch-hit RBI.
OMG!! Multiple Runs. I must be dreaming.
Nice hitting, Raffy!
See, this is how you know Wilson's beard is fake. There's no goddamn way two guys on the same team grow out the same fucking beard.
They have just had to keep razors away from Romo ever since Manny jacked him up last year.
Watch for Huff to have a beard soon...
Maybe Huffs beard will have a better chance of catching fly balls.
Thanks for joining the team, Andre.
I hope Kuo's arm isn't bugging him. He looks a bit off.
I imagine Simers was chuckling like Dr. No, then realized it's Gwynn in left now and muttered a quiet fuck under his breathe.
Are they playing Immigrant Song? I thought that went to Chicago with DeWitt.
Jeez come on Kuo!
HCK is making me very nervous.
Big K for HCK
Home. Kid was getting squirrelly. Heard the offensive explosion in the car. Now praying for a third out.
Karen's favorite,Belt,on deck.
Guerrier not exciting me much.
I may need to break out the Xanax.
Dodgers are still acting squirrelly at the ravine.
Fuckin walks.
D.U.M.B.
Guerrier walkin' the tightrope, gets out of it!
Thank you King James!
Shit that was rough.
After two walks, Tejada swings at the first pitch. Hey Miguel, that's what we do!
Do the ESPN guys know that Tejada is a notorious free-swinger? Guy never takes a pitch.
TeHA-HA!da.
Tejada's career-high in walks was 66 when he was with Oakland. Keep in mind that Billy Beane rode his ass about taking pitches. He never hit 50 after leaving the Athletics.
Guerrier making sure Broxton gets a save opportunity. How nice.
I remember the Dodgers Billy Bean back in the day eating dirt while sliding into third base. '89 or '90.?
Broxton was already at the infield when they started playing Iron Man. Get on the ball, stadium music guy.
Aw shit.
Fack!
This must be doing wonders for Broxton's confidence.
WTF Broxton.
Damn you Brox!
Oh crap. Belt yourselves in everyone, this could get bumpy.
Nice work by Loney.
Love seeing Broxton hustle to the bag.
Out 1. Ok Brox, you can do this.
Even if he makes the save,I'm done with Brox.
C'mon, Brox! One more!!!
WE MAKE PARTY!
whew
Bittersweet
WE MAKE THE PARTY!!!
Huzzah!
This calls for a Guinness.
We have waited 50 plus long years but we finally get to hand the World Champion San Francisco Giants their first series loss!!
Now get the the fuck outta here.
Sorry peeps but I have ZERO confidence in Brox hence no party for me. But I will honor the Dodgers win.
@Paul...What a great way of looking at our 3 and 1 record!!
I'm with you Spanky about Brox. He's scaring the shit out of me.
When it's on the line,i do not want to see Brox walking up to the mound. I really don't.Something must be done.Seriously.
Broxton just might give This Jimbo a heart attack.
So who do we replace him with? Kuo? The guy with Elmer's holding his elbow in place? Jansen? The guy who was a catcher two years ago? Gurrier? Career set-up man?
At least Brox is limiting damage this year. Last year he probably would have folded after that leadoff HR.
we should probably wait till he actually blows a save to get the pitchforks and torches.
@ Mlasf
Do you just want to settle for Brox? We got a whole season to come up on someone or mold a player. You know your baseball.You are not gonna tell me you are totally confident on Brox? We got time.But in my opinion Brox is not the answer. I'm tired of his shit,basically.
So far Broxton has given up two home runs. That's basically been it. He hasn't fallen apart at the seams. He hasn't nibbled corners and walked guys like no tomorrow. It's easy to say he should go, but harder to say who should replace him. Let him close until shit actually hits the fan.
If the Dodgers are in contention this season and Broxton falters, I can see Ned trading for Papelbon.
We scored 7 runs. That alone is cause for celebration.
Sure, we've got problems, but the Giants must have worse problems if they lost to us three times. Suck it, Jints! (PS...please keep Huff in right.)
I really think Broxton will hurt us in the defense of our World Championship next year.

201! Home from the Stadium, back in wifi range!!!
