Ted Lilly (0-1, 7.71) vs. Clayton Richard (1-0, 4.50).
The Padres have a Clayton of their own, and he spells trouble for the Dodgers. In 2010, the left-hander had three starts against Los Angeles — and merely went 3-0, striking out 18 and allowing only five runs over 20 1/3 innings.
San Diego is off to a solid start, taking two of three from the Cardinals and splitting two with the Giants. Adrian Gonzalez has taken his bat to the 0-6 Red Sox, but the Padres always seem to find pieces, which this year include former Dodger Orlando Hudson.
Ted looks to rebound from his disappointing first start, that 10-0 shellacking the Giants put on the Dodgers last week. A strong showing would help restore confidence in the starting rotation, after what happened to (our) Clayton and Chad in Colorado.

Has someone already commented on the radio commercial for some ambulance-chaser with the tagline "Friends don't let friends plead guilty"?
Put me in coach. I'm ready to play.
*takes a swig of wine*
Miles L. Berman has been doing radio spots for the last decade.
I'd let some of my friends plead guilty, fyi.
Berman's name, eh? Missed it, don't recall hearing it before, strange.
Why'd I notice it tonight, I wonder?
Manny Mota is on deck.
Wilton Guerrero just ran out to sheepishly pick up Rafy's bat shards.
Clayton Kershaw now has a ZZ Top beard.
The Bird is batting.
"Manny Mota is on deck"
lol.
Every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man.
The sunny Gameday is such a tease.
Dre was clean shaven when this game began.
I'm gonna try to hold out until extras.
I'm getting some ice cream.
Anyone want?
Dre still sucks
Hang tough MLASC!
If it were any night but Friday night I'd say screw it, but I get to have some extra sleep tomorrow so I'm toughing it out.
I wonder how the baptism went.
It's 49deg, Karen.
Oh shit, Kuo's warming.
Number 55 just doesn't look right on someone other then Karina's son or Orel Hershiser.
Manny already graduated from high school.
Manny=Paul's son
Who wants extras?
Okay, I suppose they can beat us now.
MattyG is not endearing himself to the crowd.
I'm sick of typing his last name, so I'm just gonna call him MattyG.
Barrajas has played all 6 hours! Russell who?!
@Orel...I'll take extras if thats what it takes to win this effer.
I hate Hawpe. He hates me. It's a blood feud.
Way to go beard.Tell them fucks to back off!!
Aw shit, a pitching change.
Are we playing the Rockies? Shit!
That's the spirit, Karen!
BEANBALL NOW!!
Fuck yeah1
Phew?
Whoever loses this game is going to be super-frustrated.
I'm never posting the lineup again if means I have to sit through this
It's raining again.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
END THE GODDAMN GAME ALREADY
Take it out KEMP!
Was that an answer to Hawpe's high and tight?
Vin's really giving the umps a lot of props.
If Kemp keeps this up, he's going to be a MONSTER.
Vin shouldn't. They're the bastards who aren't letting up on the waterboarding.
MATTY IN THE RAIN!!
Finish it!
OMFG
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN JUST PUT THE GAME ON HOLD.
Vin's telling stories!
IT'S A TARP
JOE WEST WILL EAT ALL OF OUR HEARTS.
FUCK YOU CHARLIE STEINER!
This truly defies all logic.
I hope Vin lives to see the end of this game.
I like our chances of this game continuing tonight.
Brewing some coffee.
I don't see why I can't tweet a question to Joe Block. Who the fuck is going to call up DodgerTalk?
Yay, Joe Block mentioned my tweet!
If nothing else, those of us sticking with Primeticket are getting a dose of our Dodger history.
Maury Wills should get more props.
Gameday should give us a badge just for following this game.
Did Joe just say it was postponed, officially?
I heard him mention your tweet MLASC!
SoSG should give each of us a Smonk for battling on.
We still have to wait 15 minutes or so before umps give an official decision.
yep...
not official yet.
Jesus Christ, someone's calling from Billings, Montana.
And now Hong Kong! damn
That guy in Hong Kong must be living it up, watching baseball in the afternoon.
Now someone from St. Louis?
I feel like I have to stick with this game now.
I'm stunned by the all the people calling DodgerTalk.
I'm ready for another nine.
Fell asleep after my Kuo comment and woke up to more True Blue Stories. The game is delayed AGAIN?
Josh, they put it on hold so you could watch the ending after you work up.
Or woke up, as it were.
It's 1:40, Orel. We'll cut you some slack.
SUSPENDED
We pick it up again today at 5:30 in the afternoon.
Hah! DodgerTalk starts back in with "When the Levee Breaks!"
Game suspended so I'm going to bed. I'll see you all later today!
caught the song too, chuckled a little.
see ya all at 5:30. Night folks.
goodnight karen. Later everyone.
Are the Expos still in Montreal?
Kemp: 3-for-3. Batting .409
Uribe: 0-for-3, batting .111. 4LOB last night.
Loney: 0-for-3, batting .154. 4LOB last night.
Thames: 0-for-2, batting .182. 1LOB last night.
Uribe-Loney-Thames: 5 Ks among them. As our 5-6-7 batters, this is our black hole.
Wow, you guys are all studs for fighting through for this GT. Glad we left the SoSG bar open...
Wait, why is Orel lying on the floor with a bowl of pretzels on his head?
Man what the hell happen and why us there a 13 step plan to shave Timmah's head on this cocktail napkin.
Furcal hurt his wrist, but will still finish the first game. Ruh-roh.
How did he hurt it? Serious or just sore?
I'm buying tix for that upcoming game on THursday, where they're giving away caps that are Lakers colors but have Dodgers logo. I'm absolutely convinced that these lids will be very shitty in quality but nonetheless want one.
I love the band of purists that is continuing to hang out in this thread, with only a 3hr 25min pause in the comments. Being a purist, I'm going to stay here as well until Game 7 wraps up.
But after this game ends, you guys really have to go home and shower.
Who do the Petco people let into this first game, btw? Do the season ticket holders coming for Game 8 get screwed, either because there is someone sitting in their seat already, or because they can't get into the stadium until 6:35p?
And did they do the fireworks at 1:40a?
@Saxy
I didn't shower this morning. Went straight to Bottega Louie for breakfast then straight to in-laws in OC to watch golf. Haven't gotten off the sofa, Vinny. I am decidedly not showering.
Sticking with this thread. Definitely a purist. It's pissing me off they aren't playing during the day, in fact, when baseball was meant to be played.
Gear status: Dodgers pullover hoodie and the cap I bought on Opening Day that is dark blue and says "Dodgers - 1958 - Los Angeles".
Beer status: Dos Equis, of course.
Mother-in-law's cooking status: I'm scared!
Life is mostly good.
ps- Go Galaxy!
@DB: Where is Bottega Louie again? For breakfast, what's good?
@Sax
7th and Grand in downtown LA. It's great for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, drinks. My favs are the portabello fries and the sausage w/ fennel wood-fired pizza. Also the Manhattans.
Headed out to Bevmo for some gin. Be back in a flash.
cc:Mr. C
Hendrick's Gin: obtained
Buillett Rye: obtained though not previously known to exist.
Fever Tree tonic: obtained
Airplane bottle of Maker's for Pre-dinner drink: obtained
Urine
Thanks, Urine!
So much for mojo.
Greetings (again) Everybody!
Vin is wonderful. He just picks up seamlessly where we left off.
That's hitting a little close to home for you, isn't it FB?
good pickups there, DB! The Hendricks is good just on the rocks
it is DB - makes me look like a schlub!
Loney clears Paul's spot in the order
XP with another hit
2 lefties going the other way. I wonder if they were coached up overnight
*sigh*
We suck.
ARGH
@FB
Have you had the Buillett rye before? I didn't know they had a rye offering before I fortuitously noted it on the shelf at BevMo.
What was the purpose of letting HCK warm-up?
^^ Bulleit
@Karen
To make Chad Moriyama angry?
@DB I don't know Bulleit as a brand and definitely didn't know about their rye. I don't know my bourbons and ryes very well in general. I will look for it at the neighborhood watering hole next time!
red bull-vodka now being consumed
call that, blue!
@FB
They've had a very good and popular bourbon for several years now - a real go to. Now they've intro'd a rye. Looking forward to having it in a Manhattan soon.
Bullshit on that last "ball" to Bartlett!
dammit, Hawksworth! Why are you pitching scared to that guy?
DSBG has the weirdest, random Tweets. Check it:
"Davey Crockett and Tom Selleck ask, why M buffet? Why is there a line?"
Cmon Hawx. Just get this out
Shit, did Martin take the instructions for how to catch baserunners when he left?
Welcome back Davey. Hope you brought the mojo back!
yay Davey - he'll change things up!
You guys are living in the past man.
TG2!
You guys are living in the past man.
hey Paul! How'd it go today?
good bunt, Jamey
Bunting would be nice - if we could get a hit.
time to power up the beard
^Said Tom Cruise
It went very well FB. Baptized the kiddo who never fussed then lunch in aptos and now back down the coast for steaks and beers.
youch - that looked like it hurt
Walk it off, Beard!
Go away, Bud, Casey's no Jeter. He doesn't fake it.
Siddown Bud.

Carroll shouldn't have bunted. We need as many outs as possible.
let's do this, Matty
C'mon Matty! You're the man!
Beard get hit? I forgot the cable is out in this house darn it Follwing on the phone.
@Paul - nope. They walked Dre to get to Matt with 2 outs
WE SUCK ASS
and Matty flies out
keep grinding
Fuck!!
I can't see us winning this game. I just have a feeling.
Juan Uribe must be stopped
this is the same shitass Dodger offense we've had all our lives, except for a few months in 2008 and 2009
woof
Hawx has has good stuff tonight/this afternoon
Then again we are playing the padres.
FB speaks the troof.
Hawksworth getting her done.
I agree,FB. Our offense really does suck.
(weeps)
Take 2 more picthes
runrunrun!!
NOW he gets a hit.
Personally, I want this to stretch past midnight, so it stretches over three days.
OK FJL. I'm getting impatient. Get Uribe home.
Loney bunting??
James trying to get to 2 strikes so he can swing away
here comes a high strike
awful
ugh aaron miles
youch - hit him on the helmet!
Wow. That was scarey.
the trainer looks like John Ely
Miles taking it like a man.
that just sets up the double play
this dude's a spazz on the mound
cmon Roderick!
@paul
is your friend not a trainer again this year?
damn he hammered that, but foul
you are right, Vin, Rod "jerked it too much"
*drive-by epale*
crapcrapcrap
cmon TG2
is Spank driving to the store to get more wine?
YESYESYES!!!
attaboy Tony!!!
@Dusty
Sue is still a consultant to the Dodgers and joins the team Now and then but the travel was a lot considering that was just one of two jobs.
Junior delivers!!
one more hit, please, for Brox
yes! free runs!
nice block, Hundley
We score again!!!
Epale Spanky!
Aaron Miles looks like Dre's older, jerky brother
Told you guys we win this game!!
Even if my Oates are soggy.
Like Wayne from the Wonder Years
Like Chet from Weird Science.
Can Brox stay gold?
Casey not getting the veteran's respect
Scooby dooby dooby
Cmon JB - finish this off
C'mon Brox. No roller coaster tonite. Just shut this one down.
Brox doesn't know its the end of the game. He thinks its the third inning.
No Scoobying, Neeebs. This is THE thread for Game 7.
cc: Orel
karen gets another look at Ted Lilly's beard :)
I jumped in on the top of the heap, only to find the cool kids hanging here.
