Chad Billingsley (2-3, 3.36) vs. Madison Bumgarner (0-6, 4.25).
After last night's confounding loss, it's hard to muster up any enthusiasm for tonight's inevitable disappointment — even if the Giants' losingest pitcher is starting. It's not even close to the All-Star break and the Dodgers are already making a beeline for the division cellar. About the only positives of this season: Don Mattingly gets to ride with his managerial training wheels without anything on the line, and Frank McCourt is on his way out. It's a sacrificial year, people. Meh.

Can you post the PGT?
SHIT
RT @Dodgers: Today the #Dodgers placed Vicente Padilla on the DL and recalled Ramon Troncoso from Triple-A
VPad's same gimpy forearm is acting up again, no? Could be the end of the line for him.
Tronco-So long, baseball!
Josh,
Best name for a pitcher since Tom (we be) Neidenfuer (pitches like that).
Mark it: Today, the Dodger season officially ended. Beware July 31 young talent who've been mediocre up to now.
I'm looking at you Mr. Loney.
That screws up my "healthy" roster. I tried to figure out what 25-man roster (without fantasy trades or additional call-ups from the minors) would provide me with, if not a successful team to watch, at least a team that isn't so dreadful. Here it is anyway:
SP
Kershaw
Bills
Kuroda
Lilly
Garland
RP
Broxton
Jansen
Guerrier
Elbert
Padilla
Hawksworth
Kuo
(If Kuo is done for the year, Macdougal can have is spot. Now with Padilla in question, I'd give his slot to Guerra.)
C
Barajas
Ellis
IF
Loney
Uribe
Furcal
Blake
OF
Ethier
Kemp
Sands
Bench
Carroll
Gwynn
Thames
One of either Miles or Gibbons. (Oddly, I'm leaning Miles.)
Garbage Chute
Navarro
Cormier
Castro
The loser of the Miles/Gibbons deathmatch.
Always go with the taller fighter (although Gobbins has that vision problem)
Yes, I said Gobbins, as in, "Knoffed in the robs."
I'll be there in three hours,Dusty. Depending on traffic.
I would meh the meh out of that girl.
@Josh S 4.33p: I think you missed a letter in your list of abbreviations. Where it says "RP: Broxton", shouldn't it say "RIP"?
MEH THE GNATS!
Epale everyone!
in news no one cares: a Derek Jeter double badge came to me :)
No lineup yet? Not that it matters. I'm sure it meh-ing sucks.
is it too hard to give them a little more of credit before the game actually starts?
:(
@Karina, You can't just go around giving credit to people that haven't shown an ability to be good for it. That's how we got stuck with the McCourts.
*With that being said I do think we will win today. Bumgarner is 0-6! What's the worst that could happen?
*And that's why you don't take an opponent lighty, especially when you suck.
Todays Dodger lineup:
Fuck
Shit
Fuck
Shit
Fuck
Shit
Fuck
Shit
Billz
Can I post the lineup since this is game 45 and that numerology is very important to me?
Carroll 6
Castro 4
Ethier 9
Kemp 8
Uribe 5
Barajas 2
Sands 7
Mitchell 3
Billingsley 1
I forgot about Thames entirely, Josh.
I didn't forget about Dre, for the record.
Just saw the lineup. If any lineup is capable of scoring negative runs, it's this one. Woof.
I never thought I'd want Aaron Miles back in the lineup.
Holy crap..bad enough Castro is starting but batting SECOND?!?!?!?!
Greetings Guys and Gals!
What a horrible lineup :(
And Frank can't even pay these guys!
Good start Billz.
My positive statement for the night is that Maddy Bumgarner is such a loser. This gives me hope.
Spanky--I thought the same exact thing when Castro walked...Woo fucking hoo.
@NicJ you have a valid point BUT it's still a long season and I'm hopeful they can turn the table around.
@ karen
I'm pretty sure we were not the only ones thinking that either.
eat a D sandwich, Cody
goddammit
Here we go again.
get the third goddam out
Game over.
Ten seconds after I check the score, Mike Fontenot and his fucking .230 average doubles in Posey to score.
What
The
Fuck
I'm out for a while, so hopefully the Dodgers will score now
it all swirled down the terlet when I checked in
Don't come back,Saxy!
FB--We started circling the drain as soon as the lineup was announced.
Urine!! No fraternizing with the enemy!
time for a Jerry home run
pee on the enemy!
time for a Russ home run
Sands needs to get aggressive at the plate.He hits everything to right field.
time to push myself down a flight of stairs
why can't we do that?
lead off double for the pitcher :(
Bumgarner doubles. Yep.
A double for the pitcher. Shit.
crap balls
why can't we do that?
Boooooooooooo1
I just found out CBS nixed the Colin Cowherd pilot!
FUCK YEAH!!!!!
That's my positive comment for the day. As you were, ladies and gentlemen.
sheesh - if you are going to hit him, hit him
here comes the 2-out double
Thats what I'm talking bout. I hope it was a fastball that hit Pubey.
#Gameday
Minimal damage. We're still in this game. Oh shit,forgot about our lineup.
(cries)
this is going to be the year we go 14-4 in interleague play, when it doesn't matter
that Mattingly bobblehead actually looks like him
Bad call Jerry Lane!!
cmon, Dre!
way too many Giants fans at the game
I don't like how they have Reggie in that ad
Was that a juggalo?
pay attention, hitters. It's OK to take a walk
Are we giving them back all the errors they gave us in the first series?
at least Loney wouldn't have looked that bad fielding...
*sighs*
throw strikes, stupid
Here comes the nightmare
Cody Ross looks like he's wearing ooompa loompa pants with those dumb socks up so high
2-out single coming up
Thanks,God!
I said this earlier in the season, but this season is going to make Vin retire
Uribe has got 2 singles so far
Looks like it's just you and me in here, you
two can be a party too, Fred's Brim
I'm here. I just have nothing to contribute.
Hit a homer Sands
who is that Gnats chump sitting next to Mary Hart?
@ Sands
Rrrrrriiiggghhhhhttttt.
a party of four
Lacey Chabert was always annoying anyway
it's bedtime for this kid
goodnight, yall. Don't let this game drive you crazy
Too late for that, FB.
I am here. In the garage with the car running and my Dodger jersey on.
that was great, Dre!
at least we can celebrate the small things, right?
sweet dreams, Fred's Brim :)
Bean him on the pubes
Wrong batter,FOOL!
Walk him. I'll take my chances with Fontenot
I'm here, posting from the floor next to my kid's crib, trying to get him to sleep.
I haven't checked, but I assume we're still losing.
Please Hammer don't hurt us.
Whew! Chadley fights his way out of it.
Now scores some runs Dodgers!
Nice pitch Bills.
Told you.
(faints)
If we score two runs or more this inning Spanky can have my Russ Mitchell baseball card.
I hope Russ Mitchell knows his way around the bases.
well, at least we got a chance to step on that third base bag, for a change
3-0 giants, this is painful
@Josh S, I forgot to ask you, how is lil' Lucas?
I told you not to come back,Saxy. Look what you did.
K going to spend my time doing something more enjoyable. Like listen to a Leaf Garret album.
3 runs may be to much of a mountain for this lineup.
(weeps)
This offense stinks real bad.
@karen don't give up hope!
*sighs*
Karina--I'm hangin' in, sista!
Orale,Guerra. Good job,holmes.
they're playing the seventh inning stretch in the background of the radio feed, and I could have sworn the crowd just said "Well it's root root root for the Dodgers, if they don't win it is to be expected because this lineup is absolutely putrid".
Them's some well-trained ears, Sax. Well-trained.
don't blame me, spank-meister!
I blame JD Drew
I blame Oakland.
Wotcher, everybody!
(cries)
I'm sticking with putting the blame on Saxy.
34,248 is the paid attendance. for the giants.
MEH
no one is to blame, dudes
you can look at the blogger but you just can't hate
a 38-year-old just stole on Barajas
but fortunately, Rod's .223 batting average compensates for his defensive inadequacies
bases loaded for o-dog in the bottom of the ninth, a scoreless game in SD
Hudson sac flies, Pads beat the Brewers
this team makes me sad :(
Me too, Karina :(
Tron...
Pinche Troncoso is back.
Can someone bean this MOFO on the head already?
We will go quitely into the night.
WOW! The relief pitching stood up strong today. Unfortunately the offense never got out of bed.
Dodgers are getting bumgarnered.
Good. Sands breaks up the shut out.
Oh so close. Sorry Madison.
Damn.I was hoping that was a homerun by Sands.
#gameday
I am shocked by this stunning turn of events. Shocked, I say.
Ha ha. No CG for you Maddy!!
I gotta grab my thrills where I can.
This should be quick.
Free Jerry Sands!!!
He is officially a Dodger.
Blackbeard is overthrowin.
They should have pinch hit with Loney. At least he can see...I think. ?
Okay now this should be quicker.
Loney PH? Oh God.
Watch this!
Dead red James. Come on.
Loney better nut the f up.
Loney showing unusual plate discipline.
Okay this should be the quickest.
RANCHO ARDIENDO!
Okay, so now what?
This is fucking cruel.Getting our hopes up and shit.
Take the 3-1 James...
Hit it over their head Carroll!
Gee I wonder what will happen
Figures.
Blerg.
for a few inches...the Dodgers have "los santos de espalda"
:(
Deader than Julius Caesar indeed. Fuck x 37.
In a year that has been so incompetent the insufferable has happened!
Hard liquor time!
That DodgersUSA guy is really obsessed with this rivalry.
This isn't healthy for us.
PGT finally up.
Sands totally kiboshed my PGT, which was ready to go... I'll save that for another day.
