Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Jon Garland (1-1, 3.60) vs. Dustin Moseley (0-3, 1.99).
Precious little joy in Dodgertown these days, so let's focus on the good: Andre Ethier, owner of the second-longest hitting streak in L.A. Dodgers history. He's currently at 26 straight games, with a decent chance at 27 — being 3 for 3 lifetime against Moseley (including a home run).

Looks like Andre is using the Force.
Derek Jeter is hitting .250? But they're all game-winners, right?

HCK activated. Jansen demoted.
About time we get some color in Left Field.
Blue is Blue.
We still need some color on 1B.
True, Neeebs, true.
Damn. Spankofesto averted.
I'm still looking for the Spankofesto (note: last night I misinterpreted and was expecting a Spankfest). Alas, I'll be at the game. Someone email it to me if it comes in! I can tack it to Frank McCourt's door, Martin Luther style.
158 Loge, Row B, Seat 22. Be there, fools.
Dusty out. (specifically, to In N Out.)
Sorry,peeps. No manifesto. It was so long the floppy disc on my Apple II did not have enough memory to save.
We need to get you a word processor. I think I have one from my first year of law school before they made that crappy Laptop software that crashed on every fourth person during finals.
The coffee is kicking in and Dustys first comment at 10:53am has also kicked in.
Snap!
Little man sleeping trying to get some work done with the MLB game mix on to keep me updated.
Over/under on nap time is 45 minutes.
Giants losing 3-2. Burrell up.
Fuck the Gnats!
Was listening to this one on the way into the Yard. How did Nats go ahead after I left off 2-2?
Beautiful day for a ballgame. Wish you were all here so we could make sweet, sweet love together then have a group dry hump of Kemp. And there would be cartoon bears, too.
Cool homeless guy hit a single and bad giants outfielder made a two base error. Setting up an easy Nat run.
Some folks dressed up like it was 1981 (out of towners: it's a throwback day w free 1981 tees given out). I'm assuming it's a theme and that's not a new fashion trend.
Nevermind that was when they stranded cool homeless guy. The run came when old catcher dude scored on a fielder's choice hit by light hitting third base guy.
Thx Paul. See, as a Nats fan for my secondary team, I can get back to loving Werth. I always wanted to.
Who is on third today w Zimmer out?
J. Hairston is at the hot corner. Hitting a cool .196.
@ Dusty
Are they wearing Hang Ten polo shirts?
How about Gotcha shorts?
Sax is limping today (literally). I think it will be the 15-day DL, retro to Saturday.
Dusty did you wear fluorescent colors?
Hypercolor, maybe?
Ah, who the fuck am I kidding. If Dusty is at the Stadium, he has no cell service and can't read this anyway...
Dusty is wearing a RELAX shirt.
Wow, Jansen sent to Chattanooga (AA)
SPANKY SAY RELAX
Nice inning by Garland.
RELAX
Ground out ground out strikeout
On to B1, 0-0
Duran Duran's Hungry Like the Wolf on the radio play-in song! Nice, Vin!
Gwynn grounds out to Hudson
Sax's plane waiting to be towed into the gate. Love the AtBat11 iPhone app.
Come on, Andre!
No streak there, Andre.
Three up three down for the Dodgers.
Cyndi Lauper's She Bop as the fadeout song. Again, nice job KABC!
Ruh-roh, early trouble.
Shit, can we start over?
The sinker does not appear to be sinking.
Looks like we are gOing to have to put a dent in Mosley's Sub 2.00 ERA if we are going to win.
(cries)
WHAT HAPPENED!!! NOOOOOOO!!!
WE ARE LOSING!!!!
This game is getting emoted from MLB.tv to game day. I don't want to witness if it gets out of hand.
Good teams don't lose to the padres at home. So that should explain it.
Another great crowd on hand.
Demoted, I meant.
…but that works, too.
hedley
That foul ball by Loney maxed out his hitting power for another month.
Why are we using Navarro again?
Afternoon, kids!
Is this game sucking as much as I think it is?
At least that much, Josh.
We have had more errors than baserunners.
Seems like the dodgers have had Loney kids jerseys as a promotion for the past three years now.
The admiral comes through!
Why is Jamey not leading off more?
Also, I'm not sure why we didn't bunt there...
Well, at least it's not gonna be a no-hitter.
It's a fact: Every time Steve Lyons goes on about how the Dodgers "should" beat the sub-500 teams on their schedule, they don't.
Burt Hooten
Miles is poopy.
Come on Dre. give us something to cheer for,mutt.
I hate you, Aaron Miles.
Dre's not gonna get that many more chances at it in a games like this.
Woo! 27 game on-base streak!
OK, the two guys that can hit are on base. Anybody else?
Uribe homer here. Calling it.
Fuckin' Pee-pee.
GODDAMMIT
That would be a "NO"
I'm torn on which Uribe I dislike the most. The one that was hitting walkoff HRs against us as a gint or the one that sucks as a Dodger.
He's Cody Ross in reverse.
So, when will the team get sold again?
Except for that little snag, Garland has pitched pretty well.
Hey! We got a runner on base.Let's get this shit rocking.
(cries)
WHY WON'T YOU GO AWAY, AARON MILES? WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME SO?
TAKE A PITCH, fer chrisakes
In a season of shitty offensive performances, this one may just be the shittiest. Not getting no-hit, but we might as well be.
I don't much care for this team at the moment.
That's a lot of fannywhacking.
I can't wait until we don't need Aaron Miles anymore
(Not really all that)Hot Sister in to put the game out of reach, as if it wasn't already.
and epale, yall
I don't care what any of you say: there is absolutely nothing homoerotic about men playing sports.
Whatsupale FB
when will Hawksworth take Guh-Rear's job as one of the set-up men?
If he keeps slinging those high-90's fastballs for strikes, I say it should be now
Desperate Housewives is still on TV?
What's that, Erin? I couldn't hear over the sound of ass-slapping.
Booooooooooo!
I want to hear an instrumental version of GBA by Nancy Bea.
Today's GBA singer was 81 in 1981.
I'll take it!!
I'll buy that for a dollar.
#Dre Day
ANDRE
OK, fuck it. We can lose now.
We still have something to cheer for at least one more day!!!
Besides new ownership.
Well, at least there's that.
100
the good news: Andre extends the streak with a hit in the seventh
the bad news: dodgers are otherwise impotent
well, SF lost two of three to the Nats, including today's loss
Rox are down 8-4 to the Pirates
What did I miss?
Whole lotta nothin', Paul.
Urine with the glove.
Damn. When does the easy part of the schedule start?
Cc: Joe Block.
Urine is turning into Loney, all glove and no bat love*
*not intended to be a homoerotic statement...or at least I don't think so.
O Dog looks like Otis Nixon's younger brother.
Haha, McDowell'd
Yoda looks like Otis Nixon's younger brother.
@Spank do you mean Donell Nixon? Or another younger brother?
woop! let's get some runs!
Wotcher, everybody!
Are we going to lose again?
(cries)
#lifeslittlepleasures
muting Stuart Scott
keep fightin, Jamey!
Vin talking shit. "The Dodgers could use some D batteries".lol
Padres have played us close to the lines all weekend and it has helped them out on a bunch of plays. Just based on my memory of past games, I don't remember much being hit to the alleys, so that's probably a good move
Epale everyone!
dull game, I guess
btw, on my local paper there was an article stating that Juan Uribe will play third because of Sandoval's injury
*cries*
@karina, Uribe is a very versatile player!
@Fred's Brim i wouldn't mind if he goes back to the Giants
I hope that paper is right.
I don't want to watch a sub-standard HCK
I hope Urine takes Loney with him when he goes back to the Gnats
We can't catch a break. Watch the Padres get a hit now.
I wish the Lakers series started today.
Sweet Freedom,McDougals coming in for Kuo.
McCourt's on field success chart might be taking a hit this year.
enjoy the rest of your Sunday,boys and girls,in better ways than watching the Dodgers
*keeps thinking this is just one month bad streak*
Fuck yeah, no save for Taco!
Epale, karina!
Way to find the silver lining, Josh.
Alright, I'm out.
great. not only are we getting pummeled, but I also got a Brad Hawpe badge to boot.
You're fired,Dodgers.
Every team gets one double grand slam per season, right?
Hurry up and die so this torture can end.
Dusty Baker went to this shitfest and all he got was a lousy t-shirt.
I did get a fairly sweet t-shirt, indeed!
Look, folks, I just ran some Sabermetrics. Data show that we.7suck3.
You know what can be fun? Reading a GT in reverse. Hence, you get things like "What's that, Erin? I couldn't hear over the sound of ass-slapping" without any context.
No MFPGT. But that's fine, I like just wallowing in this GT. Seems appropriate.
Post-Game Thread finally up. Sorry about that, boys. I am really slow getting around.
As is the Dodgers' offense.
@Dusty: The ass-slapping comment referred to one of the Orlando Hudson-engineered GIDPs (I think this one was Miles' GIDP). Hudson fed Bartlett and while Gwynn was charging second base to break up the double play, Bartlett made the throw and Fox Prime Ticket super-slow-mo'd the replay to show Hudson slapping Bartlett's ass following his throw, as if to get him out of the way of Gwynn, congratulate him for the turn, and also enjoy a little homoerotic fun on the diamond. Hey, why not?
@Sax
Thanks. Cool! I would have much rather watched some gay porn than the game on the field, had I had the option.
