Clayton Kershaw (6-3, 3.05) vs. Juan Nicasio (1-1, 2.08).
Who is Juan Nicasio? Just another pitcher unknown to the Dodgers. Who is Dinger? Just an annoying pantsless dinosaur who pops up behind the plate in the late innings of close games at Coors Field. But hey, maybe there's something to be said about that whole pantsless approach:
UPDATE: Dodgers Promote Oeltjen, Send Sands Down Under (True Blue LA)

I guess that Jerry Sands isn't the future of this organization today.
SHREEMPS ON THA BAHBIES FOR ALL!
I bet Jay Gibbons is loving life right now.
Has Jay Gibbons been promoted to BBBQ-er?
He has to go through ABQ first.
Maybe he can join Eric Byrnes' beer-league softball team.
Mmmmmm, beer-league...
I just realized there's no link to the Unicorn Fantasy League. None of the participants are regulars, no link, how do I know this isn't some ploy by Orel to fool us all?
I'm pretty bored right now.
Nancy Bea made it a private league, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Second place, y'all!
Yeah I didn't even know there was a league until I saw it in the sidebar.
@MLASC: At least I know Nancy Bea exists in real life, unlike certain regulars with made up names that slowly morphed into girls' names.
I don't believe you, Orel. I need proof. Screencap it.
Well, Nancy Bea is a semi-regular...
Though I think the recent surliness of the commentariat has made us outcasts from polite society.
@Josh - Just because I'm a computer program created by the CIA-
Oh, dammit, I've said too much.
So, you're Marcia Sportsczar now?
Aw hell, Panetta's gonna tear me a new CD drive.
He's a short-timer now, so you're probably safe. Don't pull that shit with Petraeus, though.
I'm bored with this whole work thing. Is it time for baseball yet?
Mr C erroneously stated: "Though I think the recent surliness of the commentariat has made us outcasts from polite society."
Our surliness is not recent, nor is it the root cause for our outcast from polite society.
RT @dylanohernandez: Mattingly said his hope is that Uribe and Blake hit, making it possible for Gwynn to play regularly in LF.
So, we're hoping guys that aren't hitting start hitting so we can regularly start a guy that doesn't hit.
Head...hurts...so...much.
Ah, well.
The DEGREE of surliness (in which I majored, coincidentally) is perhaps higher, and it is actually being shunned by impolite society that has me worried.
I guess if Urine and Blake hit well enough, I can start at SS and we can have a blind man catch, theoretically. Or Navarro.
Asses, man. I just saw that White Bread got sent down. Damn. Miss that lily white little bucktooth bundle of dodger already.
I'm sure he'll be along shortly. Patrolling the outfield ain't safe this year.
Well, LF, anyway. Nobody else seems to be having difficulty.
For which I am eternally grateful.
In the clock tower,Vinny!
*loads rifle*
On the bus, Vin!
*ducks to avoid Spank's shot*
Epale!
Pulling up a chair, Vin!!
By the way...Hello Everybody!
Epale Spanky!!
Can't tell which is the bat and which is Dee Gordon.
I don't know whos eyes are farther apart: Carroll or Dee Gordon
Epale,Karen! Long time no see.
Nice hustle, Andre!
According to Vin, Kemp's hitting .478 on this road trip. Cripes.
Come on Matty. Hook me up with a homer.
Spanky--My mom has been very ill and in the hospital so I've been spending alot of time there. She's home now and doing much better so I get to play with my peeps and watch The Boys in Blue tonite. :)
Come on Matty! Hook me up with a strikeout.
(cries)
Best wishes to your mother, Karen!
@ Karen
I'm glad your mom is doing better and that you are able to join us here.
Thanks Orel!! I'll pass it along to her.
Geez,those averages suck.
(Urine,1B,Dinner)
Urine doing what he does best. KO
Loney only does good when I talk shit about him so I am not going to stop until he gets traded.
Hey, we have men on!
Tony Gwynn Jr looks more like a skinny Chris Gwynn actually. Bats like him too.
Just in time for the pitcher's spot! Which, sadly, I would almost prefer over some of the others.
Blackmon? Blockman?
Bison Power!!
MATT KEMP BRINGING THE PAIN!!!!
Matt Kemp, I love you.
As usual. It's Kemp and nothing else.
UJTD. Ha-ha Tulo!!
Wotchale, Karen! I'm glad to hear your mom is doing better.
Kid K is rolling along.
We got something brewing.
Ooooo that was almost a strike on Beard.
I got a phone call and missed the score.
(cries)
Enjoying a nice Salade Nicasio for dinner.
Bison RBIs!
MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP! Kemp Baby!
Matt Kemp, I love you.
MrF 6:51--Thank you!!
We cannot be up 4-0. Must be an error.
68 pitches through 5 for Kershaw.
I forgot about Davey Lopez
@Karen, sorry this is late: get well wishes for your mom!
This is going well!
I think we're in trouble.
I believe in Clayton Kershaw.
@ Mr.F
I thought Kemp was your man? Player.
I love them both!
Shit. Hold them to two runs Kid.
(cries)
I still believe in Clayton Kershaw.
Ruh roh.
Feh.
I guess Helton would have scored even if Loney had not bobbled that ball but fuck bro,don't choke with the glove when the games on the line.
It's okay. Just minimize the damage.
Kershaw preserves the Quality Start!
That inning was almost as ugly as Kershaws beard.
Pinch hit Kemp for everybody!
Nice positivity, Orel!
I'm down on so much of this team right now, but I refuse to be pessimistic about Kershaw.
Maybe we should start batting the pitchers in the 2 spot
Saxy--Thank you! This experience really scared the crap out of me, but she seems to be on the road to recovery. She's feeling well enough to fight me over the remote...She wants to watch the NBA Finals and I want to watch the Dodgers!
Now it's going less well, but I'll still fucking take it.
Start the rally, Clayton!
Kershaw and Gordon! Your new 1 and 2 hitters.
Deeeeeeeeeeeee!
@Karen
Wow, I missed that story the first time through! It sounds scary, but I'm glad your mom is on the mend.
More Runs!
(cries)
Kershaw scored from first on a bunt? Awesome!
Flaco scores!
What in the name of all that is holy?!
We got runs back?
I'm digging this Matt Reynolds guy
Flaco? I'm not raven about that name.
Thank you MrC. Thanks to all of you for your kind words!! :)
Dodgers ahead by 4 again. Way to come back, team!
Apodaca
Kempity kemp kemp!
It's a 4-run game again!
Surprised Uribe didn't swing at those.
Jeebus, Matt Kemp you are so hot.
Dear Loney,
They intentionally walked Juan Fucking Uribe to get to you. That's how much you suck.
-Mr. F.
Pre emptive: Loney,you're fired
We're winning? Well that's the highlight of my day.
Mars Blackmon?
Hey now, let's not go letting them back in now.
Too many nows.
Aw, Christ.
Evil rancho ardiendo.
I suppose I spoke too soon.
Up and in. Do it!
Shiiiiit.
I'm getting very nervous now.
Helton up with evil RA.
Should have done that to CarGo you mutt.
Throw fucking strikes!
Loney has the one hit in a 1-for-13 aggregate five through eight hole
Kershaw has more hits tonight than our five through eight combined
Goddamn Coors.
Hold on to your Pop Tarts, Karen. This is about to get U.G.L.Y.
It's like Mattingly was watching that walk and thought, "Mmm, that reminds me of MacDougal. Bring him in."
gack
See what I mean?
FUCK! SHIT!
Jesus H, why?!
Haha.
Can no one pitch from this bullpen?
Can Kemp pitch?
Damnit. My faith in the world has been destroyed.
*Averts eyes*
My little mobile Gameday batter was hit by two of those shitty pitches.
Elbert and MacDougal, why do you suck so tonight
thanks for screwing Kershaw
Spanky--8:18--I actually was eating Strawberry Pop Tarts and it is getting U.G.L.Y. Good call Spank!
Giambi's still alive?
Don't choke, Mavs!
Kershaw kinda screwed himself too, Saxy.
giambi is the ninth batter this inning
mattingly doesn't know how to manage his bullpen
(Josh, I know I'm biased for Kershaw)
MATTINGLY, PULL MACDOUGAL YOU FUCKING IDIOT
Sympathy strike.
Is MacDougal pitching with his back to the plate?
MacDougal can't find the strike zone with a magnifying glass
With a 3-0 count and the bases loaded, Monday gives us the great insight that MacDougal has to throw a strike
YOU DON'T SAY
Well, that's perfect.
Mattingly, you are an idiot
This is bad. This is real bad.
*bangs head against wall repeatedly*
I never thought I'd find a manager slower to react than Jim Tracy.
And then I saw Mattingly coach like his bobblehead doll, frozen on the step.
My 2011 theme for the Dodger bullpen has been: "Who's that guy?"
Now I don't want to know.
Heat by 1, 5:16 left
I'm not sure this is an improvement...
Bad teams find ways to lose.
Reminds me of the dbacks last year.
Wow this is really sad.
Throw it around the white thing on the ground.
Thanks for that insight,NicJ.
(cries)
2 outs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man,put me into pitch.At least i'll strike fear into their eyes when I throw it at their heads.
Whoa, go Mavs!
the long national nightmare of the bottom of the seventh inning is finally over
THANK GOD!!!
Gott in himmel, that inning lasted as long as the rest of the game.
At least Kemp will bat again in the 9th.
Jason Terry!
At least we have individual glory to root for. Go cycle!
Go Mavs!!!
Jim Gott
Pinch hitter is the one role Ackbar doesn't excel in.
Boooooooooooo!
I am not digging the Lindblom.
single and double to leadoff the eighth. The Dodgers are determined to lose this game
The light is getting dimmer
Yes,Let's pitch to Tulo. I see good things happening right now.
Whattya know.
Only 1 run that inning!
Ackbar does look a bit off?
cc:Josh
Excuse the ? in my last comment. I am inebriated.
I want a Kemp HR, but I also want a Kemp single.
No cycle
Apodaca tell street to groove one to Bog Rod.
Booooooooooo!!!!!!!
And with that...FUCK.
Damnit. Oh well.
