Jon Garland (1-4, 4.31) vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (0-5, 5.86).
What's more surprising: Ubaldo Jimenez's Ubad start in 2011, or that the Dodgers were 3-1 against him in 2010? And what's wrong with Ubaldo this year? Diminished velocity is the symptom, but the cause isn't clear. What is clear is that the Dodgers are going for the sweep of the Rockies — which would make it their first sweep of the season. Are you kidding me? It's been a long two months.

I wonder if they'll have a 'stache variant.
I'm at the game tonight, if anyone wants to say hi.
^ Or rather, I will be there. I'm not there yet.
maybe the stash will be like a Mr. Potato head and just kinda clip on.
Let's hope the bobblehead curse doesn't rear it's head in the form of an unintentional double visit to the mound tonight.
Brox was always said to hsve diminished velocity.
Jason Schmidt, right before we signed him, as well.
Hmm.
I don't know about you guys, but my own velocity is tapering off, as well.
Maybe I should mix in a salad or two.
We should have taken note when Schmidt brought his rotator cuff to his physical in a freezer bag.
Mr C returns!
Headed over to the Ravine now. Josh I think we're just a few sections apart.
I am, sadly, not headed to the ravine, or shenanigans would surely be afoot.
Speaking of which, I need to go the fuck home. Back in a flash, boys and girls.
Have a good time, Dusty and Josh S!
Send us a picture! And send us a picture of the bobblehead!
I'll ty to snap a photo of the rare Kemp-Loney dry hump, Sax.
On the bowl,Vinny!
Completing the cycle from the racing game, I'm now on the bus home. The guy sitting across from me is drinking a can of Steel Reserve hidden in his man purse through a straw.

Sweet baby jeesus, they opened a BevMo a block and a half from my place. This is temptation greater than one man should be forced to bear.
Humping bears! Humping bears!
Oh, wait, that's not what you meant, Mr C.
At the Yard, Vinny!
No, that's exactly what I meant.
I would give half my liver for a man purse.
Epale,peeps!
Up on the top deck with mamma Cora. Not a lot o people here. Kinda sad.
@AC: It just means McCourt will be out of here sooner!
Top deck's alright. People leave you in peace up there.
What's shakin', Spank?
So sparse that I an actually post on the AT&T 3G network. Wonder how long that will last.
It is so empty here, my cell service isn't even being affected.
Wotcher, everybody!
Wotcher, everybody!
Great minds subscribe to crappy cell service alike.
Epale everyone!
Orel, it's never too late to have your first in everything :)
I get a Garland badge if he dry humps Toto while singing "Over the Rainbow".
AC: watch out for smoke and get the hell out of there quick with your mom if you see any smoke
Garland escapes the first
A "well-rested" Furcal grounds out to short on the second pitch
Snakes tied with the Fish, bottom 9 for AZ
Dodgers go super-quick in the first
Kemp with the mega FAIL.
Leadoff triple for Wigginton. That's not good.
Ubaldo hasn't had a scoreless outing yet this year.
I wonder what is going to happen tonight?
Furcal
Blake
Ethier
Kemp
Gibbons
1B
Barajas
Carroll

I'm getting Vinny on tv, that's good.
My bro is rehearsing with his band next room, that's bad.
just texted him to drop it :(
@ karina
Does your brothers band suck that bad? :)
Dodgers back to being crappy.
directv sucks, I lost the signal, what happened?
@Spank actually, I'm the biggest fan of whatever my bro plays, but I don't get Vinny much so when I can listen to him, I treasure it
Fuck, I forgot I was Schleprock.
Jeez, does Garland know he's pitching today? What the fuck?
it had to be Dodgers-killer Helton
I think I killed Neeebs winning mojo.
@Karina "Orel, it's never too late to have your first in everything :)"
I like where this is going.
Pictures of the Mattingly bobblehead, via DelinO, posted!
Okay,It's Mr.C's fault.
I'll wear it.
Delino is watching
BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Seriously,Do people really go to Dodger games just to get a bobblehead?
Numbers don't lie. People like free shit.
We need runs
@Orel *blushes* it's true!
Ah, I made Karina *blush*. My day is complete!
As do I,Mr.Customer.As do I.
This is the second time Prime Ticket muted Montel's commercial
*blushes more*
Woo hoo!
Josh S and Dusty up in dis bish!
We were just having a conversation that involved Dodger pain, and I actually paused and made an air (cries) sign to convey the proper feeling for the moment.
This is your fault, Fanerman!
The Dodgers: good for what ails Ubaldo.
I can't believe there are more SoSG knuckleheads in tha heezy tonight and you didn't let us know.
cc: AC, NicJ, DelinO, AC's mom
I have my Lindbloomers on!
Okay, Lindblom, let's see what you can do.
I'm taking my Lindbloomers off now.
Josh and I will have a Bloomin onion at Outback after the game.
AWESOME King James!
Nice play,1B man!
Huh.
Giants up 7-5 in the 11th
Pretty slick, J-Lo!
Son of a hurr
one pitch, one out from Loney
3-0 Rox through seven.
What happened to the Dodgers' offense?
well, this isn't good for mr. elbert.
They used up all of June's runs yesterday.
I'll admit it: I'm watching Modern Family right now.
Josh!
Dusty!
Nic!
Delino!
AC!
By our powers combined, we are CAPTAIN SCHLEPROCK!
Shootin' down the walls of Fowler, bang bang
I am the Guerrier
I suppose we still have a chance, with six outs left and down by three.

WHERE IS THE PATIENCE
"Steve Sax, growing irritated with my expressing the obvious" - Charley Steiner
NO SHIT, SHERLOCK
Sax. my dear, why are you so grumpy? it's not like it's the first time a pitcher with a mediocre season dominates us.
I look at it this way....shit forgot what i was going to say.
Rick Monday just gave us the great insight that the Dodgers, down by three and with a runner on second, will need to get another person on base here in the bottom of the ninth.
Thank you, Rick.
karina, I'm not grumpy.
Okay, I'm not THAT grumpy.
I need another (full-price) beer.
Well, balls.
well, at least I got to listen to Vinny.
That sucked.
At least some of you got bobbleheads!
