Ted Lilly (4-4, 4.22) vs. Cliff Lee (4-5, 3.94).
So. Three consecutive series wins. Against not-altogether-terrible teams. Want a real test? Turn it up a notch? Amp it up? Okay, here's the Phillies. Starting with Lee, of all people, although he's had an uncharacteristic rough start, having lost his last outing — to the Nationals, of all teams. Degree of difficulty? The Phillies miss Clayton Kershaw and Chad Billingsley. Although I love the Dodgers, I'm not yet a believer in this 2011 squad. A fourth straight series win might change that.

Yeah. At least the playoffs got canceled after that series.
Alas, I will not be in Philly today. Let's hope the Dodgers' offense can keep it up without me in attendance.
*strains shoulder patting self on the back*
Draft thread up.
Dee Gordon has been called up. Gibbons and Castro DFA.

Didn't Jon Weisman say there is no chance the Dodgers call Dee Gordon up?
The Rays signed Lance Cormier.
Somehow, I think I'll survive.
New, salacious avatar engaged.
I'm a believer, Orel.
I'll try and post why later today. (This is called "the tease".)
Sax, you saw her face?
Hey Ned Andy La Roche is available! You gave him away once don't do it again!!!!!
@Mr F: Nice
I think we lost last time i put up the lineup so i leave it up to y'all this time.
We have yet to win when I post a lineup, and I ain't going out on a limb for this one, either.
I haven't fared well with lineups either.
I think I am 1-1.
Carroll 6,
Miles 4,
Thames 7,
Kemp 8,
Uribe 5,
Blake 3,
Sands 9,
Barajas 2
Lilly 1.
Ackbar on base.
Well, they brought shit.
We needed to make room for that?
Booooooooooooooooo!
That was no strike.
I see how it is...
Well, that was blerg-worthy.
Why the fuck isn't Ethier playing?
Thames sucks in the three-hole
Baaaaaaaaad lineup decision, Donnie
Ethier gets the day off against the lefty.
HIT HIM AGAIN!!!
That was improbably satisfying.
Fucking victorino. That was such a bush league play. Lily should hit him again with a throw to first base.
HIT HIM EVERY PLATE APPEARANCE!
THEN TRIP HIM ON THE WAY TO FIRST!!
THEN SPIT ON HIM!!
THEN TELL HIM HIS MOTHER DRESSES HIM FUNNY!!
Collins: "It's trouble if it's fair."
Said when the ball is already 8 rows foul.
Yeah I am watching the espn broadcast instead of listening to collins and Lyons.
Collins had one like that yesterday, as well. If I can tell from home, he should be able to keep his shit together.
Collins announces like he is on my Sega Baseball game.
*switches to ESPN*
Aim for the white rectangle, Ted!
Welcome back,Urine. You still suck.
Ah, fuck it, we're screwed today.
Still sounds like Tim K. is going through puberty.
So far, both new returnees to the lineup have made at least one out each
LITERALLY working at a gas station?
It's tough to figuratively work at a gas station.
Way to work the walk there Jerry
Make them pay, Rodster!
Rodster did not make them pay.
These between-innings ads on GameDay suck the big one. Not being able to access the GameDay for that period is annoying. I may switch to espn gamecast
Sax: Then you can get the Colin Cowherd Yankee-licking badge.
Hah! Colin Cowherd watching baseball! Good one, Josh!
Lilly doesn't even look like he's going to swing the bat.
We have four guys in the lineup under .220.
They have none.
Preparation H. The Official hemorrhoid cream of major league baseball.
Sweet AB from Ted Lilly, even if he got out
Every Ted Lilly at-bat looks like his first.

It's not just me who thinks January Jones sucks at acting.
Ackbar 2 for 2.
Well at least Thames can't GIDP now
He plays the game the right way, dont'cha know.
FUCK YOU ESPN!
*engages mute button*
The off-the-DL crew is up to 2 outs each before Uribe's second plate appearance.
No Thames, like the present.
this game is going to make me mad
Well, Cliffy's about to get his run.
Dusty: re: JJ: just pout and stand there! That's all I ask!
dammit - that ball was in the dirt too
That should do it. We'll get 'em next time.
This annoys. Commute time will be a blessing.
Well, it was fun while it lasted
Oh, fuck
Victorino looks like something The Rock shit out after a day of drinking
Chase Utley always looks like somebody just cut in front of him in line but is too much of a knob to do anything about it
It's drive time so I have the place to myself
Sutcliffe isn't drunk enough
We gave no runs this inning so we got that going for us.
(cries)
Valdez has the dumbest goatee since Scott Spiezio
Two on again for Thames. shit.
So are the Dodgers. Stupid Thames.
I wonder if Lenny will be able to get dip in prison
can we have Jamey Carrol be all-time hitter?
cmon Casey, just ground out
sheesh
goddamn Phillies
That offensive showing was putrid.
get that booger with a jersey out of the booth
The Chicken would peck his eyes out
Come on Sands
100!
I like how Jerry works pitchers
and hits them with line drives
I take it we are faring poorly? #workcomment
Nice try, Jerry. Aim for the arm next time.
i love our bench
a light hitting lefty is the best we can do
pinch hit Billingsley fer chrissakes!
And of course Gwynn gets aboard.
@DB it's not so bad. Lilly has pitched pretty well and Cliff Lee has been good Cliff Lee. We've had a little to do with that but still not the abominations to which we've become accustomed.
our little guys are the only ones who can make good contact
Mama, there goes that man: Mark Jackson is your Golden State Warriors' new head coach.
Good lord, that means more voice time for Van Gundy. Just kill me now.
FB Is Not Going To See It: Green Lantern
Did I just hear the Phillies commentator call Fernando a Brownie?
@CVF - I am watching ESPN
Who said it? That asshole Larry Anderson?
JS is going to see it (likely for free, because his wife works for WB): Green Lantern.
It was the stump the fans trivia, I wasn't paying attention, but then the answer was fernando, and the other commentator goes, Well I know it was a brownie....
@Josh - you around for when the Phils are in town?
I will likely see Green Lantern.
Game 3 of NHL championship? i did not even know it had started.
holy moly! that's terrible if that's true!
heh heh Thames nearly got cuffed there
let's get this bum!
@ CVF
That is pretty wild if he said that.
Come on man. i want to see how fast Dee Gordon is. get something started.
Thames, 0-for-4 with 5 LOB. Thanks a lot, Marcus!
It appears Simers has hacked into Saxy's account.
@FB: I'm pretty much always around. Let's hook it up!
Ruiz bitch slaps us again.
Booooooooooo!
I can't stand that guy.
He always manages to do something like that against us. It's never just a sac fly in the third inning
stupid walks
Of course. Fucking Chooch.
Eh 2 or 3 or 100 runs behind. Seems the same.
The Phils are playing DSB
They are playing don't stop believen for us.
@Josh - going to the Duke Snider bobblehead night and the day game on Wed. I got some cheap field-level seats down the lines where the seats are plentiful
Do something Urine for drying out loud
Dee!!
Urine goes 2!
^crying
Can we sign Flash for closer?
Dee needs the practice at being James' force out.
Fuckin outside ump.
Dee could have made it to home.
Fly Fly!
lookit him go!
Clean hit Jamers. Runners on the corners
Oh Dodgers, don't torment me so.
Beard looks like his pops.
woo no shutout
Hit it hard. Lucky break.
Figures.
Rod goes limp.
Dinner time.
Dioner Navarro will save us.
Okay. Two strikes same as 3.
I bet Tara Reid is a Phillies fan
Yup.
sad
Crapola
Expected.
