Hiroki Kuroda (4-3, 3.21) vs. Randy Wolf (3-3, 4.11).
The Dodgers are so bad we're running out of ways to write about their weak-ass shit. They've scored two runs in their past three games. Yet...tonight they might actually have a shot at scoring more than one run. Old friend Randy Wolf was rocked by the Padres in his last start, giving up five earned runs in 3.1 innings. Am I right, or am I just blowing smoke up Eeyore ass?
Sax's note: Gluttons, meet punishment. SoSG Alex Cora and I are back at it tonight, both on field level, third base side (in separate seating areas; after last night's french fry territory debacle, we opted to bring our respective spouses and sit with them instead. BECAUSE THEY SHARE, AC). At least we'll score some bobbleheads.

Time for a more appropriate avatar.
Jason, I shot you an email earlier but we'll air our dirty laundry here...what do you think the methodology is for the slither puzzle?
Googling slither puzzle...
The puzzle loop app game thingy?
@PPR: re: P&A #32 (www.pandamagazine.com), the puzzle entitled "a change in one's diet" or something like that
nerds of the world, unite!
shoelaces of the world, untie!
But not a mini-SoSG Fest.
I might need to use my shoelaces to hang myself if we lose again tonight. #Loneycide
Dusty, after last night, might I suggest flip flops?
(cries)
(cries)
The game hasn't started yet and there is so much crying.
(cries)
Sax, I responded to your email. Of course, the way this season is going my email probably went as far as a Loney popup and was lost in the opposing leather of the aether. Figures.
Anyway, I was thinking it was some form of finding a non-intersecting path to collect the coins while avoiding the pennies. The simplest zig-zag and spiral patterns didn't leave me with anything useful. Each path consumed 52 letters and 52 coins. If the Snake game is correct, 26 letters were left inside the snake and the other 26 were, uh, crapped out. There were then 11 extra letters never touched but nothing could be spelled from any of those sets.
I also thought there might be something to the the use of "One" in the puzzle title and was trying to find a path where the running total collected would hit each even dollar amount (so, if I was at $1.95, I'd need to hit a nickel next to get to an even $2.00).
I also found a hidden letter in the puzzle but I think it is just an artifact of the pdf creation process.
Now that guy that has been Googling the puzzles will come yell at me for posting here.
(sigh)
^(cries)
(cries)
Dusty: running late. Kid emergency at home. Probably going to end up like the stereotypes, coming in the third inning...
Your half-beer might have to come late!
(cries)
Kid is ok btw
Glad to hear it, Sax. Kidd just missed a three-pointer, btw.
On my ass, Vin!
In the office, Vin.
(sigh)
Good to hear, Sax.
I haven't been less excited for a new Pixar movie since..."Cars."
Cars 2 is basically Pixar saying they screwed the pooch with the first one. Which sucks, because I really want a sequel to Incredibles.
Pulling up a chair Vinny!
Hello everyone!!
(no crying...yet)
Hey kids! Do we still suck?
(cries)
Thank goodness for Matt Kemp.
When did Kemp shave the beard?
"Cars 2" is Pixar saying, "We love merchandising money."
Spanky--Who is your avatar??
I believe that is Montel Williams.
"...playing shallow and making the catch." - Vin
Why would an opposing outfield position themselves any different against the Dodgers?
Matty looks so handsome again!!
I got a Carlos Santana HR badge today. Yay?
BISON BOMB!
Well, hot damn!
Oh, that's why you don't always play the defense shallow.
Lesson learned.
Power of the Bison!!
Give me the damn Kemp HR badge, Gameday!
I wonder if Sax left Gameday open on his desktop in order to collect badges while at the game.
Epale everyone!
(and we're winning)
My mom is feeling sorry for Wolf.
Must be time for her meds.
Epale Karina!
Epale, Karina!
Epale, Karen's mom!
@Orel 7:34 pm I don't know about Sax but I do.Of course, when I decided to leave the computer turned off, I miss a precious Matt Kemp badge.
*cries*
Hey, we're winning!
"My name is Karina, and I'm a badgeaholic."
Howdy, yall!
What's that curvy symbol next to where it says "Dodgers"?
Picture of the Kershaw bobblehead box posted on the main page.
FB, it must be a tilde.
Hee Hawwww guys and gals.
Or a Tilda.
EEEpale!
Loney with an out??
Has anything changed?
@ karen
Montel Williams.You are correct,Czar.
(cries)
Like a Maltzing MaTILDA?
I am not sure it's a tilde - it's in the same place where I have that 0 burned into my screen
Gotta go LCD next time, FB.
Prince for Loney and Broxton
@FB: The Romans call that II
Is that Saxy in that longass line?
@Orel that's who I am! maybe that'll be my jump to fame, I'll be the founder of "Badgeholics Anonymous"
Leading off with the pitcher.
Which is better? Ted Lilly with three years left or Randy Wolf with 2 years left?
And Wolf hits a double. Hmmm.
Dre looked like he was running in sand
I have a Red Badge of Courage.
Let the record show that I was strongly in favor of Fielder for Broxton and Loney. Unlike some other commenters that shall remain nameless.
Mark Cuban has had work done on his face.
Wasn't there also a Loney & Broxton for Adrian Gonzalez & Heath Bell rumor? Or something like that?
@MLASC I was in the other camp, but without much real reason or logic, I never like trading our guys
Wasn't there also a Russell Martin for nobody then he goes on play great for the Yankees rumor?
Hiro pitching scared to Hart
Dirk is unstoppable.
Unstoppable, I said!
Hiro's a little bit of a mess tonite.
Fools Braun!
Big K from Hiro
Here comes the 2-run double now that we've gotten 2 outs
Kuroda wriggles off the hook!
Who do the Brewers think they are, us?
Why am I still watching Dodgers baseball?
Casey's beard is scruffy again. Get that guy off the DL.
The Brewers just said Miles retired! But I guess that just meant he is out :(.
First base open brewers.
Paul, don't give them hints
K I won't mention he has all our RBI this series.
Matt already has three days of growth on his new beard
Even Vin didn't think that was a strike
Kemp now has a career line against Wolf of 1-7: 1 HR, 6 Ks.
That looks like a Darryl Strawberry line.
Close enough that you have to swing at that pitch.
S'up y'all. Just got done fondling Dusty. Tried unsuccessfully to find the elusive Sax.
Me like Kemp home run. Not much else.
heh heh bumgarner
@Josh - How far did that tease Dusty let you get this time?
What the hell happened to McGehee? He never even entered the screen on that play
@FB 8th base.
These teams are gonna get smashed by either Miami or Chicago
@Josh - nice, so you were buying him import beers?
nice work, Hiro
That ump wasn't so sure about that out at first
JJ Barea is unstoppable.
I like how OKC is trying counter Barea with Nate Robinson. They are the same but opposites
Urine with a walk?
Rain starting again...
Dusty, heading to the stadium club after the fourth
so close
More warning track power.
why did Braun hold up his hand?
Here comes a loney gidp
Oh James. First ball swinging??
Really?
Josh S, I'm 37 N butnot formuch longer
Gotta protect the bobblehead
that was low, blue
that's gotta be the hardest he's hit the ball since he's been up
Donny, please never pinch hit Navarro for Sands again
Nice AB by Sands to work the walk.
Cleared the pitcher!
Hiro beats it out!
Nice hustle, Hiroki!
RANCHO ARDIENDO
but Jamey never gets a hit when guys are on base
Carroll grand salami here. Book it.
"He who hesitates, loads the bases." —Vin
of course nobody is ever on in front of Jamey
stop booing Dodgers players, people! if you're so good at baseball, why are you sitting on the stands and not on the field? if you don't like it enough and can't be supportive, it's cheaper to stay at home and bitch about it on any place of the Internet.
that was the same as strike one
crap
DAMMIT
Stop being so reasonable, Karina!
44 for Dirk.
Booooooo!
Why does Mark Cuban always look like he shops the clearance racks at Kohls?
I'm at home so I bitter boo type. If I was there I would just cry and ask Dusty to hold me.
Dirk doesn't give a shit about your defense
Or I'd ask Mr. C to score me some illegal drugs on his way back his car.
nice play, fellas!
Nice tag on Weeks by Loney.
Or I would have Neeebs drive me home. We can sing our discography the whole 3 hour drive.
do first-basemen ever go into a big stretch anymore to catch a throw? Has that gone the way of smashing into the catcher on plays at the plate?
Nice inning, Hiro!
@Orel 8:44 *blushes*
the King still has some glove!
Looks like another quality start by our Dodgers.
*cries*
MGD now that is a beer I have not had in a long time....a very long time.
Dirk with 24 of 24 free throws
@ karina 8:42pm
Boooooooooooooooooo!
(cries)
I think my uncle drinks it. He said it was dead.
QS = 6 innings
Hey wait the Brewers play the same crappy bands on their video highlights.
I am beginning to think the music industry force feeds us to make us think we like these songs.....naaaaaaaw.
Corey Hart always looks awkward, nothing smooth to his game
@Orel
I know. I didn't mean that stat version. I meant the Paul definition.
Doris Burke's voice is deeper than Dirk's
@Spank you can boo as much as you want on the Internet, not Dodger Stadium, see what I mean?
Little known fact Neeebs is Sergio Metrie's niño.
I can hear Spank's boos from here
Urine admired that fly out like it was an all-you-can-eat dessert buffet.
Ryan Braun not making friends in Mannywood.
Loney and Uribe not trending well at the stadium
BOOOOOOO-URNS
K Hiro the offense gave you a plethora of runs. Don't fuck this up.
Let's get a QS for my fantasy team, Kuroda!
(Not Paul's definition.)
I don't think we really appreciated Takashi Saito when we had him
All this QS start talks feels like a jinx.
I saw the wild one-legged Sax.
BB is surprised. Oh no that is how he always looks.
nice catch, Matty!
@Fred's Brim no, we didn't :(
SuperKemp with another flying catch!
Nice Matty!
Nice catch, Matty.
Great catch Matty!!
blerg
Moogie up but I have to put my Bulldog loyalty aside.
I am watching an old episode of Transformers - Starscream was kicked out of the Decepticons and was dropped off on Guadalcanal to fend for himself
I don't think we really appreciated Starscream when we had him.
Pocket picked.
I'm not a fan of Barajas.
Starscream = 6 innings
QS!
Soundwave = Guillermo Mota, 2003
@Orel
Starscream for me is always is five innings and two plans to overthrow Megatron.
Why are we so obsessed with a quality start again? Shouldn't we have higher expectations, especially considering the starting rotation is the high point of the season?
Because Kuroda is on my fantasy team.
Sergio Meat Tray
Casey Casem is the voice for the Autobots' supercomputer Teletran 1
Do you just get points for quality starts?
Yahoo! uses QS as a category, yes.
Well you don't get badges for it or Sax would have posted about it
Hey, Wolf had a QS tonight too!
That's a shitty fantasy rating system.
I wonder how many badges Sax misses out on by being at the game
200
200
DAMMIT
Niño Neeebs has to be conflicted. Mitre pitching.
Voice of Optimus Prime Peter Cullen was the play-by-play announcer for L.A.'s pro polo team, the Colts (later Stars).
Craig Counsel was a Dodger? I must be repressing that
