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.
Ricky Nolasco (4-0, 3.04) vs. Clayton Kershaw (5-3, 2.96).
The way the punchless Dodgers are going, Trey Anastasio and the boys could outhit them right now. In fact, it's something of a miracle the Dodgers are even in a position to take this series. And if they do, they'll be led by their ace Kershaw, currently enjoying the highest K/9 rate of his career: 9.99. And if they don't, it'll just be another phailure in a season full of them.

I prefer Fish, former lead singer of Marillion. Check him out.
And I'll be at the yard today.
Don't phuck this up.
Josh Lindblom recalled to help out the bullpen.
On the sofa, Vinny!!!
Opening shots were of field level concessions. Not one but two security/cops could be seen taking part in the food/drink offerings. I'm going to assume they were on break.
Atta boy, Kid K. Way to get it started.
Neeebs, if you brought your glove, they may ask you to pitch by the sixth inning
Furcal 6
Blake 5
Ethier 9
Kemp 8
Sands 3
Gibbons 7
Navarro 2
Carroll 4
Kershaw 1
2 Ks for Minotaur in the first!
No Loney, No Cry
Janson to DL. Lindblom up.
T-Slick done as a Dodger.
Per TBLA: "Oh yeah, Josh Lindblom is wearing #52 with the Dodgers, last worn by George Sherrill"
(cries)
We missed Anibal Sanchez too and my fantasy team is suffering due to Josh Johnson's injury
*cries*
Epale everyone!
Wotcherpale, Karina!
Two more Ks for the Kid in the second
Gotta love that powerful Dodger offense.
(cries)
What'supale!
Giants lost by a shutout
#schadenfreude
Vinny talking about Roseboro. Yesterday I went to see a one-man play about the Roseboro/Marichal incident. It was nothing short of brilliant, folks. It's supposed to end today but there is word it may be extended. If it is, I HIGHLY recommend anyone who lives in this area go see it. Here is the link:
http://www.centertheatregroup.org/tickets/productiondetail.aspx?id=14331
As you enter the house, Vin Scully's voice can be heard calling Sandy Koufax's perfect game. I started crying right away. As the show opens, the actor interacts with the crowd and asks the crowd to walk through who was playing which position on the day of the incident. "Ok, so who's playing first?" and many on the crowd reply out loud with "Wes Parker!" and it goes on from there through the lineup. Here's a primer in case some details are fuzzy:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SFN/SFN196508220.shtml
It's haunting to read such seemingly simple, routine words from the box score:
Jeff Torborg replaces John Roseboro playing C batting 8th
Bob Schroder pinch hits for Juan Marichal (P) batting 9th
Plus, for perhaps the only time ever in any of our past and future history of attending plays, one can hear the words "Fuck the Giants!" uttered by the actor. No lie.
Stay tuned and I'll let you know if the show is extended. Mrs Dusty and I want to go back and see it again.
Here's an interview with the actor:
http://www.dailynews.com/sports/ci_18164308
what happened to the game?
Dusty, I want to see that play
*cries*
@K
I actually sat there and thought about how much you of all people would enjoy the play, Karina.
To what game, Karina? Did you lose the feed or something?
Sounds interesting,Dusty.
Kid K with a hit!
RAFA!!!!!
Gibby!
thank you Dish network for updating the receiver right in the middle of a Dodger rally.
This may be the last chance you ever get to watch a Dodger rally, Spanky.
Signal back just in time to see Ackbar strikeout. Classic.
@ Dusty
(cries)
And they have dirty Sanchez.
Gameday froze in the rally *sighs*
@Dusty it's scary how well you're getting to know me
Kid K is 2-2 today!
Nice fucking hustle Rafa!
I wanted that Furcal play scored as a double so I could get that badge. :-(
Come on... count that a double. I want my Furcal badge!
If my mind is working like Dusty's, I best crack open a beer and a crack pipe.
Can I get a DAMMIT! ?
Crack pipe? Heyo!
La Barba has no rhythm yet since he's come back. That was a bad AB.
E being walked. Let's have a Bisonslam!
Badge it up, Chris.
I'm about to.
DAMMIT!
Where you at, Josh?
Mr. C, I'm not feelin' ya.
Was at a BBQ. Just about to settle in.
I knew that would work. Epale, Josh!
Sittdown, Omar Baby.
Dude, I missed a party.
Did anyone not get ejected
I can't wait for this series to end, so Steiner and Monday will stop drooling over Stanton's physique.
Cleanup hitter Tony Gwynn Jr.?
Vinny is just in fine form today. I don't care if we get beat 24-4. Just keep dealing, Vinny.
Cleanup hitter Clayton Kershaw.
@Orel, Sons:
Great Vinny vignette just now re Leo Durocher getting kicked out. I DVR'd it and will transcribe it for you.
KERSHAW!!!
The Kemp I knew from Bank of America would never get kicked out.
FOOK YEAH!!!
Fish Heads, fish heads
Roly poly fish heads
"This is keystone cops now." - my sister-in-law
Once again, we're deprived of badgeness
AWWWWWW YEEEEEAAAHH!!!
Holy shit, 8-0?
And WE have the 8?
Whoo hoo!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Nolasco's just finding his groove. Let him stay
OoooooooooooH!
15 hits? They'll get no-hit tomorrow.
Fuck that, I'm calling that last Furcal hit a double. I've got the badge in my own mind.
Gwynn keeping the dream alive per usual
Fun inning
Strikeout
single
double
walk
ground out RBI
single
single

Gwynn
Ball doesn't get smaller than that
That suit is not your color, Vinny.
Ricky Nolasco: always a Dodgers fan! Thanks, holmes!
You and your Cousins and me and my Cousins.
This Kershaw kid...he's pretty good.
Kid K's charity is gonna be rolling in it.
KKKKKKKKKK
Sands needs to get in on the party now.
Come on, Sandman. Enter.
Not that I would endorse getting tix from Ticketmaster, but did you see they let you choose your Dodger Stadium seat now?
No, I didn't. Thx for the tip on Ticketmaster. I usually do't use them but part of that is bc of the previous lack of seat selection restriction.
Vin says Gibbons lost that ball in the wind
I think Gibbons lost it because he's lame
DelinO 2:49p: innings end with Gwynn
I think he lost it because he broke wind.
In fairness to Gibbons, it is windy as shit. There was a huge gust right when the ball was hit. Let's cut a brother some slack.
DelinO, you'll be happy to know that my iPhone now autocorrects to capitalize the last letter
FUCK YOU, WIND!!
Dodgers determined to have Kershaw lose this shutout in the seventh
One out
Giancarlo Stanton would be so much cooler.
UJTD!
Shutout alive through seven
Jim Wolf fell asleep.
Wash your hair, Timmeh!
The wind kept his hand down.
We have the heart of the lineup coming up: Carroll, Kershaw, Furcal.
100
Hey Vin, Bills got 5 runs last time and nearly chucked them all in the garbage.
@sax - means it's time for another DelinO name change
Gwynn just got cast in a remake of The Cooler
Gibbons is done. Kemp is done.
Badges done.
*weeps
I saw Robin Cousins (the ice skater) in a stage production of Rocky Horror in London.
Loney couldn't lift it out of shallow right center for a RBI with the wind blowing out at about 195 MPH.
Kershaw coming back out?
Come on, Kid. you got this.
2nd career shutout.
We win!
17 hits, wow!
GDRPGT (God Damn Right PGT) should be joyous!
PGT up! Sorry friends, blogging and grilling don't mix...well
