Hiroki Kuroda (3-2, 3.10) vs. Jon Niese (1-4, 4.71).
At the time of writing, it's unclear whether Andre Ethier (scratched from Wednesday's game) will be in tonight's lineup, chasing his 30th straight game with a hit. I sure hope so, because aside from the Ethier suspense, there won't be much else to watch in our second-string lineup.
Watching the Dodgers roll over and play dead against the Padres (last place in the NL West) last weekend, I'm not expecting much from us in this weekend series with the Mets (last place in the NL East). Tonight's game also marks the first of another twenty-consecutive-games slog, just like we had last month. We limped to an utterly mediocre 10-10 record that go-round. Will it be back to the future for us again for this 20-game stretch?

Is there any way we can just sim the rest of the season? I'm not sure my psyche can withstand anything less than a Dodgers sweep this weekend.
Barajas doesn't sound like a WASPy name to me.
Josh, we could probably assign you to a 60-day fan DL. We'd have to promote an fan from Albuquerque to take your roster spot, though.
Also, Aaron Miles is not playing catcher.
C'mon, rbn, me expect better.
Hey, I filled in my own line-up card. And besides, Barajas was referred to as the LH Catcher, or "light hitting catcher."
Donnie swapped him and Miles at the last second. He also added Ethier, and dropped Kemp to clean-up.
I go Abbott and Costello with the next line-up, except everyone will be, "I don't give a damn."
and totally missed the Cookie Monster reference.
Forgive me, Marla.
This line-up stinks as bad as the Hudson river.
+1 for Spank!
and Loney may only qualify as a LHG.
I wake up without warning and go flying around the house
In my sauvignon fierce, freaking out
Take a forty-five minute shower and kiss the mirror
And say, look at me
Baby, we'll be fine
All we gotta do is be brave and be kind
I put on an argyle sweater and put on a smile
I don't know how to do this
I'm so sorry for everything.
We could sweep the Mets...we could get swept by the Mets and this is why I cry.
Are we losing yet?
BTW, the Mutts put a hurt on the Gnats yesterday. Maybe they used up all the bats.
*sighs*
THIRTY~!
I can relax now.
Ethier, the journalist, gets his
-- 30 --
30!
Dammit!! The game is on. I thought it started at 4:30 and I was wondering why you guys were claiming 30
On the 16th post.
hey hey, dre!
Dre May!
TARJETAS!!!
I will say this one positive thing about Collins--he called that Barajas HR perfectly.
2-1 Dodgers.
Ike Davis could be Gibbons evil twin.
this does not have the markings of a low-scoring game
Right after Barajas leads off the second with a HR, Ike Davis does the same in the bottom of the frame. 2-2.
Just like he perfectly called Ike's HR
Crappoop.
I just turned on MLB.tv and it started on the Mets broadcast. They were showing a booth shot and Keith Hernandez was texting furiously. I assume he was ordering some extra Just For Men mustache color.
Loney, if you're going to be that much of a liability with the bat, you've gotta make that catch (Wright foul ball)
Dre!
Ike Turner is my evil twin.
My favorite current (corrected) headline:
Retired Favre considering coaching (lingerie football), TV work (in softcore porn)
jesus Juan, that ball was about at your eye level and you struck out on that>
Steve Lyons: "I've been waiting for a Mets fan to come up and punch me in the nose..."
Why limit it to Mets fans?
(context was how much Lyons hated Shea)
down 0-2. Show me the meaning of being LOney...
Loney with the lucky single. His batting average will take it.
JAMES GETS A BASE HIT!
Shot up the middle that was going to Reyes, who would have gotten it--and then the ball hit the second base bag and ricocheted into left center.
shit, we got two hits this inning and we're not going to score, again
and one of the hits was Loney for pete's sake, and we STILL won't score
Wotcher, everybody!
How much do we suck today?
Brian McCann (ATL, double) badge in the house
Collins going on a softball rant.
I just went through each starting lineup the Dodgers have thrown out this season and today is only the second time where all eight starting position players were hitting above the Mendoza line. The first time was this past Sunday.
This is not a good hitting team.
We are Getting better better at hitting then?
(cries)
THIS is better?
Why the fuck are they havings sands bunt!?!?
shit, this Ethier guy can really hit
I'd like Andre to spend some time teaching Loney, but I'm afraid James might rub off on Andre
IBB to Kemp --> RANCHO ARDIENDO
Urine coming up with the bases juiced
Make them pay Uribe!!!
Although it is the mets so MLB might be the ones paying.
I just saw that Larry Bowa went on a rant on about Ethier sitting yesterday the MLB Home Plate show on SiriusXM.
"An inflamed elbow, if that's what it is, I'm one of those guys that you've got to play through that, especially if you play in the outfield. [...] To me, unless it was really, really bad, I'm going to play him."
I'm going to start a Tumblr for Cantankerous Larry Bowa filled with nonsensical rants about Kemp and Ethier.
Urine scores a run about as lamely as humanly possible--infield ball that becomes a sac out at first
Here's Loney. Any guesses?
Loney hits the ball BACK TO NIESE.
Loney, your suckage knows no depths!
I'm afraid to say what I think will happen. While I'm not that cynical, I am when it comes to Loney.
Nice at bat Loney.
(cries)
I thought he would GIDP.
Urine and Loney:My Heroes
Oh nevermind. Maybe my vision isn't so hot after all. I confused Urine with Loney on the box score.
Every time I see Jason's avi,I get a craving for guacamole.
Do you think its time for Loney Fan to change his moniker?
Jerry Sands brings us more runners left on base
Dodgers have 8 LOB through six
And with that K, I'm heading out to drink. Whatever the opposite of epale is, everyone!
Are we winning?
Oh. I guess we aren't.
well, Mattingly, that wasn't the best IBB call.
Nice job, guys. we're down 5-3
(breaks)
I hope Jason left before he saw that.
DM really likes to stick with his starters
Ugh.
I am reminded of Sunday kids-run-the-bases when I watch offenses tee it up against our pitching.
Hey, I got me a Jamey Carroll badge (single)!
@Saxy
Is it possible to have multiple badges of the same player? Because I already had one for him, but didn't get one for his single tonight. This could explain it.Not that I want two Carrolls staring at me...that wold be really creepy given his eye placement.
In Rod We Rust
Brewers v. Cards is getting interesting.
...and is now considerably less interesting.
@Dusty: As far as I can tell, if you get one badge, you're done.
Which is STUPID, btw. And I'm guessing that's not what they'd planned, which is why each badge's image says "bronze"...
Switch over to the Lakers game...annnnnnd, we're losing by 6.
