Chad Billingsley (2-1, 4.46) vs. Ryan Dempster (1-3, 9.58).
Precious little joy in Dodgertown these days, so let's focus on the good: Andre Ethier, owner of the third-longest hitting streak in Dodgers history. He's currently at 27 28 straight games, with a decent chance at 28 29 — being 7 for 20 lifetime against Dempster (including a home run).
Sax's note: I'll be at the game tonight. Email us or leave a comment in this thread if you want to meet up; I'm on the field level this evening (third base side). Oh, and that stratospheric Dempster ERA: although his last start was a horriffic 0.1 IP, 4H, 4 BB, 7 ER, 1 HR, 0 K outing (jumping his ERA by almost two full runs in the process), Dempster hasn't had his ERA below 6.30 all year (which is almost two full runs above his career ERA of 4.46).

Epale everyone!
is Gameday working for you?it's not working for me, which means no new badges tonight :(
So, my MLB Network is blacked out at the moment, because the schedule says they're showing the Dodger game that starts at 7.
HUH?
Epale, y'all!
Gameday's working fine for me right now, K.
I caught the tail end of Mason & Ireland and figured the jist of it. Did anyone listen to Petros & Money?
Epale hay hay
I need some kind of entrance catchphrase.
What if you all imagine I swoop in through the door like Kramer?
No one but me at the Stadium tonight?
The McCourt boycott is in effect, apparently
Heard this afternoon, and will link to it later, that the WSJ says McCourt can't pay obligations past June 30
@Sax: Don't forget to turn off the lights after the game.
@MLASC: Duly noted (Kramer)

Hey, I'm 1-1 when posting a lineup. Kinda like the barometer for the season so far.
Caught the end of Frank on PMS. Seemed like the same talking points, but they definitely hit him a bit harder than Mason and Ireland did. Frank totally shook off Money saying he doesn't feel safe bringing his daughters to the stadium anymore.
Frank's sons have no problem coming to the stadium to collect their paychecks
Freakin' KCAL game.
Aloha,y'all!
Wotchlohale, Spank!
That is the Martin I love!! Hit into a DP to end the game.
It was a very intense DP.
Liriano has a something cooking for Minnesota, about to go to the bottom of the ninth
and epale, yall
Pierre is batting second, so he should at least get to within an out.
Gordon was safe on that DP but here we go!
I have family at this game so pulling for the no-no.
I think I almost jinxed it.
Juan should bunt.
Juanie's gonna bunt, just watch.
DAMMIT
Wow nothing better than a 1-0 no hitter. So much at play.
Damn it looks cold there.
What are the odds Juanie tries to steal?
Dunn could ruin everything.
Liriano is not getting calls.
He pitching to him like he is Matt Stairs!
*cries*
Jesus Christ that was a bullet.
Nice!
Congratulations!
nice - He and Edwin Jackson can compare their mediocre no-hitters!
He still walked Pierre. That's unforgivable.
Okay switch to the Dodger game MLB!
rats
That was the opposite of the desired result.
get into one, Matty!
crud - that was a waste
That was a bad inning.
How is Texas-Seattle "Regional Coverage" for New York?
No one in New York would want to see teams from Chicago or LA.
If Karina was around I would put the sarcasm font on.
Damn Mets.
How did we manage to escape with two on and none out without a run? And those are the 2 guys that can play!
Why was the highlight in blur-o-vision?
@Paul do you get WGN? They are showing the game tonight
The sun is setting...daytime Chadley feeling weak....
Is Chad a reverse vampire?
@FB
Yeah I was watching it there but now they have it on MLB with Vinny.
Nice work, Chadwick
It's good to see WGN continues the tradition of the Honey Shot
Broxton's favorite movie is 8 Seconds!
it's not Blow(n Save)?
I was able to see Clubhouse Millar back when he was in B-more. Funny stuff....for a few minutes.
Damn, just a couple more feet on that one.
Juan nearly got that one
Dumpster throwing lots of strikes
Cmon James, lean into that one
I known Broxton doesn't like the movie the people under the stairs.
Happy birthday, Davey Lopes!
it's ok to take a walk, Roderick
Mmmmmm wine. Good idea Vinny but I think Dempster could shake a martini.
I think we might be a bit hungover from that offensive explosion yesterday.
dammit - i hate leadoff walks
Ryan Dempster is trying to hog Liriano's spotlight with this NO-HIT BID.
Paul, when did you become Paul NoPhoto?
Thanx for name dropping WGN, FB. Forgot I have that channel. Yet I don't have KCAL. Go figure.
Ump's not liking that inside pitch to lefties
When I tried to switch my photo from my iPhone. I didn't take.
Chad works hard to get around the leadoff walk, but now is when he gives up a 2-out double
Wait, I thought the runner can't try to take first if the base was occupied?
thank you, Matty!
@MLASC, he had already moved to 2nd on the sac bunt
Paul, I'm here.I swear my connection crashed the minute I saw Liriano's final out.
Oh, okay. I'm not really paying much attention.
Is DeJesus really worse than Miles? I'm not sure I believe it
Should have swung your leg at the ball,Billz
I bet Davey Lopes is a better 2B than Aaron Miles
Dude, those two straight walks to start the game represent the best shot we'll have all night.
Against Dempster.
Geez.
@Sax how's your limp?
Hahahahahaha.
You're out!
He missed the tag! He missed the tag!
He reapplied the tag! He reapplied the tag!
awesome throw!
We're gonna get a karmic bite in the ass for that call.
@ Saxy
Ask your doctor to give you some Viagra.
I am ready for Jerry to hit a home run. I hope it happens soon.
Looks like Andre's going to have three ABs tonight.
Dre overswinging
uhoh that was the MattBat! Go get that shit!
Yeesh.
haha oh man what a lucky sunovabitch
Dre Day!!
Jimminy Christmas, that just glanced off the glove.
Fuck the Yank-mes
29!
and another badge!
go Dre!
Come on Urine.I'll call you clutch if you come through right here.
nice rip, Juanny
Can James do the same thing?
wow, Uribe singles!
c'mon King...please?
Just walk, Loney, or I'll pelt you with rotting tomatoes.
Tomatoes at the ready.
i think James needs some of Saxy's viagra
That was weak.
Stop the maddness Loney is so done.
DFAJL
look what I found through MSTI:
http://emojuanuribe.tumblr.com/
I feel so lucky to be able to listen to Vinny talk about Joey D. while calling Andre's current run.
Just got off work and went straight to the cantina, Vinny!
Congrats, E!
that's a good start
Got a real ballburner goin on here.
Yank the fuck-mes!
it's over, Aaron
The better play there was to do two straight sacrifice bunts instead of letting Miles hit
Some of these guys aren't even third tier players.
(won't name names)
Yank the meh-fucks!
Like I said the other night...this is a triple A team plus Ethier and Kemp.
Why can't he be named Stalin Castro?
A triple A team usually has some legit prospects.
nice save loney
Our infield depth is a joke. Even if we wanted to jettison Loney and Miles, who would take their place?
BTW, I'm for jettisoning Dioner too, just on principle.
nice work, Chad!
I would sue Steel Reserve if they put name tag labels on their beer.
Ps-
(cries)
Isn't Donnie the pride of Evansville?
Pps-
I was only speaking of our offense. No offense intended to kid k, bills, lilly, etc
Bob Brenley is a bleating idiot. He is complaining that Dodger Dogs don't have enough bun
it's been a while since Dre or Matt really drove one
Brenley is right up there with the Hawk for worst in baseball. That guy annoys the shit out of me.
that was rather unproductive
cmon, Matty, we need one
there we go!
Woot!
Kemp!
Kemp Baby!
Matty scalded that one
Atta boys Matty and Wide eyes.
how about some more 2-out lightnin!
We'll just say Urine was protecting Kemp on that swing.
(rolls eyes)
so who do we trust in the bullpen? They seem to be follow good outings with bad and vice versa. That mean Guh-rear should be good and Hawksworth shouldn't even take his jacket off
GAHHHHHHHH
Sonuvabitch!
Blerg.
Shite
that's the only thing that guy can do, and you let him do it
Classic.Give up run(s) after we score.We always do that shit.
don't let Soriano do it too
Bills has pitched great but damn these close game leads don't seem to last long.
or Soto
OK let's get that run back
Cmon James, prove you are no worse than Pena
that'll work
Come on Tarjetas.Don't waste loneys hit. because we won't see another one till next week
keep this going, Rod
i cringe every time I see Aaron Miles, like watching a skateboarder taking a bad railslide to the groin
We need a run here badly
Let's go Jay!!!!
Making Dempster look like Cy Young
make it a good one, Monkey Man
Gibbons is going to connect.Wotchale
Well he Is making him work.
Fuck.
BLERG
Looked high.helluva pitch though
that damn ump was way too pumped for that strikeout
Gibbons' at-bat on Gameday looks like a paintball disaster.
this guy is killing me. And we have him for 3 years
In his 13 appearances, MattyG has given up runs in only two of them.
How does Reed Johnson get run down by Uribe?
I apologize if this has been mentioned, but did you guys see the LA Times story about McCourt not being able to make payroll for the second half of May? Very interesting, this might do him in.
Sometimes it's better to not ask questions.
Everything written about Frank McCourt is a fabrication. Frank McCourt told me so and Frank McCourt never lies.
hello, Dean! I haven't, do you have a link?
True McCourt was after all the guy that pulled the trigger on OBL. He told me so.
I read that Dean. I wonder if Frank will now get a loan from Fox and use the MLB lawsuit as collateral.
Yep this is the link. http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-0504-dodgers-mlb-payroll-20110504,0,6806500.story
Weird to see K. Wood back in a Cubs uni.
WoooooHoooo! SANDS!
you suck
Sands is missing those PCL parks.
Paul in the story it mentions how Fox was unlikely to offer at this point.
get'em, Dre. he's a righty
that was no strike you bum!
MLB is smart enough not interfere with the dealings but if Fox backs out that could be another cause of action for Mr. Litigation.
hmmm
thanks, Dean
