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.
Ted Lilly (3-3, 4.67) vs. Ian Kennedy (3-1, 3.23).
Friday's opener was a 7p start, and we scored four runs (and won). Saturday's game was an odd 4p start, and we scored zero runs (and lost). So with today's 1p start, will we continue the trend and score -4 runs (and probably lose twice)? Those pesky Diamondbacks, keeping us tantalizingly close to .500, but not quite there.
Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?

With this lineup, there's no way we can lose.
Oh, I'm sorry, that's supposed to be "can't."
What's the opposite of a fantasy team?
45!
Lots of LHWG yummy goodness - and some LHBGs, too!
Was going to walk up to this game but seeing the lineup, I'm not inclined.

Why is the Civil Rights Game not held on or around Jackie Robinson Day?
Selig is on PHI and ATL broadcast now. Asked re LA situation. Can't give time frame. Being thorough. Report back when investigation comes to conclusion. Hopes it's sooner rather than later.
No meat there. Was hoping he'd throw us a bone.
Let's hope the investigation goes longer than the next pay period so MLB can pay it then take over the team.
Kids get a free Loney BP jersey today. Wait, Loney practices batting?
I'm always up for an Indy reference.
Epale everyone! can you be optimistic? who know, today a winning streak might start, why not?
I think we will win today. Not because we are good, but because we are playing the dbacks.
I used that same logic with the Padres and Cubs.
I will try, Karina. You know I have pledged to say one positive thing per game thread. I have to work one up for today.
The return of Castro.
Viva Cuba, I suppose.
Following on Dusty's pledge, my one optimistic remark is that it's not raining.
Thats positive, right??
This morning, I was sure this game would be rained out.
It is, however, a picture-perfect beautiful day here in the city.
God loves the Dodgers!
Wotcher, everybody!
What's up Mr.F!
Teddy gets through the first with a little defense behind him.
First and second, none out for Ethier
....aaaaand, Andre Ks.
On the sofa now, Vinny!
runners advance though, so i suppose it's as good as a sac
Loney up.
(cries)
Wow, Kemp works an 0-2 count into a walk. Bases juiced for Loney.
Shit or get off the pot, FJL.
One pitch fly out for Loney, who can't even score the run.
Shit.
Here comes Dioner Navarro to let Kennedy off the hook completely
This team is so frustratingly suckable, it is painful.
Dioner strikes out
I FUCKING HATE THIS LINEUP AND HATE THIS TEAM AND HATE HOW IMPOTENT THEY ARE
Loney's Achilles uses to be the GIDP. Now it's GIDP and weak pop fly.
This team is a lot easier to watch if you just assume they will lose.
Lilly with a leadoff walk to start the second inning. Why the hell not, after watching his teammates let his ass down like that?
See just like that.
what the fuck is wrong with you, Lilly? Absolutely nothing, this what you've always done, you shitbag
3 years
Navarro has just been fucking putrid. Questionable defense and nothing offensively. I would look up his offensive stats but I know it's something in the range of the reverse of Avagadro's number.
Uribe would have had that
Finally 1 out.
and hi everybody, you are not shitbags
FB, your last two posts taken together made me laugh so hard I spit out a little bit of Dos Equis. That is both rich and cathartic.
Still trying to think of something positive to say.
Loney and Navarro - see what he did there? They let you score runs on that
3 years of Lily. Lovely. Ned you are a genius.
45
@DB glad this team could create some enjoyment. They aren't do much for me, though.
I was ok after yesterday for some reason, but this shit really bother me
This team has stolen FB's grammar!
grammee escap me tooday
Yesterday's game really bothered me. Today's game is really bothering me.
Not happy.
STOOPID COLLETTI STEALED FRED'S BRIM GRAMMER!
I am glad Vin has no trouble talking about haw bad they stink at hitting
Can Chad Billingsley play left field today? We need his bat in the lineup
These cuts LIlly is taking ate much better than many of our regular hitters.
at least we cleared the pitcher
I cannot watch this game. I don't want to start punching holes in walls on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
F'ing A, Dodgers, your suckitude knows no bounds.
that Jack in the Box steak sandwich makes me feel uneasy. Something tells me I want it, something else tells me no
I agree with your pain, Sax. On the other hand, I'm strangely drawn to this game, the same way one slows down to look at a bad accident on the side of the road.
don't bother, Saxy. You'd be better off hammering tacks into your toenails
Hey FB, when are you getting your tix for your August sojourn to the Ravine?
Keep me in your plans; definitely up for catching some games with you.
I usually save my hate for the gnats, but I have to say I really hate Stephen Drew.
Too bad that errant bat didn't knock Dinner Navarro out of the game.
@Karen
There's plenty of hate to go around. Let it flow.
I want to start throwing at people.
Cc: Spanky
Vin has come as close as he can to just saying Ted Lilly really sucks.
I'll bet we're going to see the new kid out of the bullpen today.
We're on the scoreboard.
(Karina, this is my positive statement for the day. It's the best I could do)
how can we win when Dre and Matty aren't getting hits. Jamey Carrol is our best player right now
Where is John Lindsey?
@DB - haven't gotten any tickets yet but I am thinking the Phillies games on August 9th and 10th. I am also thinking one of the Astro games later that week because I will need another game after getting shutout in the Phillie games
What's the most appropriate way to get tickets? Part of me wants to buy them directly from the team to support them directly. I also want to say eff you and buy them from Stubhub or a broker
@Saxy - will the SOSGfest be anywhere near the second week of August? A 20-games Under party?
Wait, this isn't the OKC/Memphis thread?
@MLASC, because those blue shirts make OKC look like a Kansas game at Phog Allen.
"He's been one ball and no strikes on everybody except Nancy Bea Hefley."
— Vin, on Ted Lilly. NICE!
hate, karen, hate!
SoSGFest might as well be renamed Masochists Anonymous.
Why do we suck so much?
*sighs*
I can't say anything positive :(
wait, I can say something positive:
I enjoy watching Aguilas star Gerardo Parra play.
*cries*
We suck-diddly-uck.
In other news, I'm posting this from a Nook Color my office lent me. Not sure I like it. Kinda clunky.
Gerard O'Parra? He sounds like a nice Irish boy.
@Czar hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha believe me there's nothing further from a Santa Barbara del Zulia native than being Irish...maybe, when it comes about drinking, they could give a run to the Irishmen's money.
*ps: don't know anything about Parra's drinking habits*
Did vin just say "beer and skittles?
ONE OF US!!
ONE OF US!!
did the win knock that down?
wind
do you remember when it was exciting to see Kemp, Ethier and Loney opening an inning?
we were happy and we didn't know we were :(
I think her wig is on sideways.
this makes me laugh:
whitesoxski Rob Warmowski
There's just Too Much Paranoias. RT @CSNChi_Beatnik: Pierre treats another flyball like Space Junk, but holds on. 8th is over.
Urine walks? Who dosed me?
don't swing, Jay!
nobody listens to me
Navarr-O: 0-for-3 with 2 Ks. You can't spell Navarr-0 without a big fat 0.
FB--I think this game dosed you.
I'm listening, Fred
no Posada in the Yank-Mes' lineup
Russell Martin is batting .245, still almost sixty points higher than Dioner
(and ten points better than Rod Barajas)
SoSG Fest 2011 may be a snorkel party, we'll be so far underwater
@Sax and how many extra base hits does my son have comparing with Barajas and Navarro?
*cries*
100!
Hey party people, just checking: how many of y'all are around these parts for the Fourth of July?
and there goes Ethier's on -base streak, right?
@Josh S 2:54p: a Nook? I thought you alrady had a kindle? Are you platform agnostic, or just ridiculously rich? Or both?
@Sax: It's a loaner from work. I'm seeing how well. It plays with ebooks checked out from libraries.
That should have been one sentence, not two.
Got. It.
we can't even say "sweet licking deJesus" anymore
Dusty, Josh, Mr LA SC: are you here over the fourth holiday?
(anyone else as well)
Now would be a good time for one of those Barajas homers
who the hell is Javy Guerra, PH with the game on the line as the tying run?
(oh, it's Rod Barajas...
...find and replace "Rod Barajas" in prior comment)
I think so. Nothing booked at the moment.
@Sax
I'll be at Nationals Park on July 4th.
Now would be a good time for Sands' first major league home run
Why didn't the runners at least tag up!?!
@FB
Ticket master can suck balls. Recommend Stub Hub bc one can pick specifically where one wants to sit (obviously based on availability).
all we need is one pin, jerry (if a pin = a home run)
Massive pop for a foul ball. Crazy.
CRAP
BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
@Dusty: Hmm...we may have to have multiple dates here. Kinda like Prince at the Forum.
it's all over but the heartache
Humbug.
Planning something around a major holiday can often be problematic for a lot of folks...
Steve Lyons is PISSED at our lack of offense and isn't afraid to say so in the after game show.
post-game thread up. sigh.
