John Ely (-. --- . .-. .-) vs. Aaron Harang (1-0, 1.50).
The Dodgers go for le sweep of Les Pères at le Parc de Petco this afternoon. Ely is making his first start of the year, and the opportuniste in me wants to trot out the whole ELYMANIA! trope. The réaliste in me is hoping for five solid innings.
The Dodgers roughed up Harang last year to the tune of dix-sept hits and douze runs over deux games, but that was at the relatively park factor-neutral Great American Ball Park. Petco (or PETCO, as the Pads would have it) could help the Harangutan go every which way but loose.
And I'll end my harangue thusly: After Colorado, it's nice to see the Dodgers beating the teams they're supposed to beat. San Francisco awaits, so let's get ready for them by kicking the Padres' asses. If you'll pardon my French.

Hector Gimenez to the 15-day DL with right knee pain, reports Dylan Hernandez.
Geez, it's 4-0 Rox and they're not even out of the first inning yet
That is one pissed off lookin' CK chick on the banner ad on the right side of the SoSG home page.
Well, now that it's thematically appropriate: Le chevalier revient.

Is this game ever going to end?
Hey, when did you guys finally off Lasorda?
I need to pay more attention.
With Gimenez hurt, no one had to be sent down, right?
Detroit wins. Kings play Sharks in first round.
@ Mr.C
Lasorda left with Jimbo.
We are winning again?
We are winning again!
Wotchale, everybody!
Wotchale, Señor F!
Hello Everyone!
Former Attorney General at the plate.
Hello Karen!
I just renewed my mlb.tv subscription. I'm watching the game!
Good catch Dre!
I didn't know the strike zone was around the ankles.
HEY EVERYBODY AARON MERINGUE IS THROWING A NO-HITTER
Barajas got one thanks to MSB!
Did you say a NO HITTER Josh?!
Crapola.
It worked!
Elymania is dead.
Again.
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Epale, karina!
At least Vin keeps calling Harangue a fatty.
Bon Jour, Fromage! Is there a military presence in San Diego? The Padres seem to be implying that there is. *sarcasm off*
hedley
Epale Sistuh & El Mont!!
Maybe it's just me being lazy today but the Dodgers don't look to intense.
Harang does look more like a CPA then a professional baseball player.
@Mr. LASC,
That was the only first round match-up I didn't want, the Sharks. I know they're bitches come play-off time, but the Kings can't friggin' score. Hopefully Justin Williams is able to come back at some point in the series.
From a hockey fan standpoint, though, I'd love to see a first round match-up between the Blackhawks and Canucks...if the 'Hawks make it.
Aaron Harang does not appear to be too bright,judging from his gameday pic.
Elymania lives!
Yay a walk!
We're in business!
two on, no outs, let's score!
Oh yeah.Hi,Peeps. I should be washing my truck but Dodgers come first.
Crap, Ely!
Elymania IS dead
Schadenfreude! Jints 1-Cards 4
Way to go,Lopes!
Nevermind....
"the first or third out can never be at third base"
Hi Spank. This game is going fast. You will have plenty of time to wash the truck.
Another close one at first.
Nice day for a ballgame. My son has one in about 15 minutes.
Let's get back to this one.
Ethier has a .375 avg. I have not seen him get a basehit all year.
ROBBED!
That was probably because I was calling Harangue a fatty....
Is the cure for Elymania more cowbell?
@rbnlaw it's possible than more cowbell is the answer for many more problems :)
Dr.Spanktopus recommends more cowbell for everyone.
Orangeview Junior High School alumni, Tiger Woods, one shot off the lead at The Masters, going to 18.
Cowbell it is!
Except for Urine.He's a Gnat.
Elymania Lives!
Elymania is dead.
Yeah, I'm all for being different from Torre, but Ely shouldn't have still been out there at 104 pitches.
You are dead to me,Ely.
Please, Battletoad or Garland, get well soon.
Take him out already.Geez.
I was about to say Ely had a quality start. Almost.
Jansen, you're on my fantasy team, do it well.
Fuck Ely. He sucks ass. Always has. Except for when he hasn't.
I'm fickle.
I just put massive amounts of crushed red pepper and louisiana hot sauce on my pizza. No turning back now.
I must say that the new mlb.tv adds are nice. There's no noise. Just still images of Volvo ads. It works for me.
Whatever. We won the series anyways. That's what counts.
(cries)
Nice one, Kemp.
That's the power of Lopes.
way to go,lopes!
Nice one, Kemp.
Nice one, Kemp.
Damn Harang is ugly.
score!
Though quite lucky that time.
Uribe looks more like a turd than urine.
has tiger won yet?
@El M - I understand, but right now, the Canucks would have me shitting bricks. I'll take the Sharks over them any day.
I'll take it
we got something going on here
Damn.
shit
not a good hand there :(
so thats that
I wish this team was as badass as the KCAL commercial makes them look.
the upside is they did score a run, this game is totally winnable!
I agree with karina
sweepSweepSWEEP
Well SHIT!
See what optimism gets you?
Are we leading the league in HR's allowed?
I disagree with karina
crapCrapCRAP
still winnable, sistah
We are losing 5-2 to the camos. Boooooo!
I got conflicting edits in the last comment.
Hudson, with another base hit.
Nah, I'm really glad we have Uribe (0-for-2 today, batting .111).
Oh Snap! What is that growing on Cantu's face?
SF losing 6-1 in the ninth inning
Thanks for showing up, XPaul!
Okay Aaron Miles is up now. This is where the magic happens.
Where's that optimism at,karina?
We are the fans of an awful baseball team.
@Spank still here, it ain't over 'till it's over
Sacre bleu, Cormier!
Is it reasonable to agree with both MRLASC and Karina's last comments at the same time?
We have a vaunted three-hit attack today
Nice of Xavier Paul to K on three pitches to start the eighth
Everyone not named Kemp, Ethier or Gwynn has sucked today.
Giants just lost 6-1
@Mr. F,
Being a Dodger fan requires you to be so dexterous.
Yeah... we suck.
Thankfully, the insurance run means no Taco.
We still won the war, so suck it, Whale's Vagina.
Well on the bright side we might actually be on the plus side for run differential this series.
Oh shit, maybe not.
WHY DIDN'T YOU ACCEPT YOUR MINOR LEAGUE ASSIGNMENT CORMIER?!
It's over. : (
That was not a strike.
Nice one, Kemp.
I'm done with Loney.
Yeah... we suck.
Loney is dead weight at this point.
I'm doney with Loney.
Remember that rumor a while back about trading Loney, Martin, JMac, and others for A Gon?
(cries)
I was done with Loney in spring training.
Why didn't Ned pull the trigger on Loney/Broxton for Prince Fielder?
Oh right, that deal never existed.
Just bring Sands up now and trade Loney for Ryan Theriot.
FUCK! you guys were supposed to have this one!
Booooooooooooooooooo!!
