Game 66 Thread: June 11 @ Rockies, 5p

Ted Lilly (4-5, 4.13) vs. Jason Hammel (3-5. 3.66).

Here comes the Hammel, and I would love nothing more than to turn this mutha out. And it's not like we can't touch this; Hammel is only 2-2 against us in his career, with a soundly mortal 4.80 ERA.

However, we've spent two games coughing up four-run leads (twice, in Game 1) and somnambulating through the first eight innings (in game 2), so maybe it's me who should pray for a break here. Please, Hammel, don't hurt 'em.

Steve Sax said...

Thanks Jason... You got June Gloom up there too?

Jason said...

@Sax

Is June Gloom some new brand of Whiskey?

Actually the sun just peaked out from behind the persistent cloudiness that is Pacific Northwest weather this time of year. This type of event calls for another beer.

Steve Sax said...

Don't mind if I do, Jason!

I'm about to have a friend come into town fro a couple of days, and he has access to very nice liquor. Spirits will be good, if you know what I'm saying.

Kyle Baker said...

FJL

And I don't mean I want him freed.

Kyle Baker said...

That poor wee lad having to watch this Loney shitfest...child abuse.

Kyle Baker said...

I'm at Mrs Dusty in Law's condo. My beer is over in my condo. (cries)

Kyle Baker said...

Yea, some light hitting!

Kyle Baker said...

MSG can't get the bunt down then flies out while advancing the runner. Men on first and third with one out. Lilly up. I'm making plans to go get my beer.

Kyle Baker said...

Come on, lil MSB! Let's tie it up!*

Re: Loney from earlier...

Anyone who swings at the first pitch after the guy in front of you walks to load the bases should be automatically DFA'd.

Josh S. said...

NO SERIOUSLY FUCK OFF AND DIE LONEY

Kyle Baker said...

Rancho Addie do the wrong way. This blows little boys.

Josh S. said...

80-year-old roider flies out.

Kyle Baker said...

Sons of Dante Bichette readers must be furious with that fruitless rancho.

Kyle Baker said...

I'm just going to turn off autocorrect for good.

Steve Sax said...

Josh S 6:27p: I totally agree. First fucking pitch! Who the fuck is teaching these kids?!?!

Sittdown, Hammels. Lil bish. Speaking of, Timmeh got stomped today. 5-5 on the year.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Er, Rancho Beardiendo.

Kyle Baker said...

OT: I saw trailer for Captain America today. My god, it looked shitty. I'd rather watch Loney go 0-5 than see this fuckig tripe.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Did you see the WSJ Weekend Journal article on top shelf liquors?

We need some Geico here.

That 2-RBI 2B by Miles was pretty sweet.

I always liked the Miles signing.

Kyle Baker said...

Linblom isn't spelled Lindblom? Well gooood damn.

Steve Sax said...

Hawksworth was rolling. Why switch to Lindblom?

Kyle Baker said...

These were some medium hitting guys today. I like it. I needed this after yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that.

Kyle Baker said...

Son of a bitch, I was right! TV graphic had it spelled wrong.

Kyle Baker said...

Fuck Dinger!

Game time tomorrow? Hope De La Rosa doesn't Rubby the wrong way.

Jason said...

Live look in just came in MLB Network at the bar. Comely bartender agrees: Fuck Dinger and, apparently, Matt Kemp is "golden hot" (I assume she misheard when I called him a Golden God).

Josh S. said...

Kemp...GIDP?

That's unpossible!

Kyle Baker said...

I love to hear Vinny say words like computer and Twitter.

Jason said...

Ha! Bartender: "That mascot is a dino-douche."

Kyle Baker said...

@ Jason

Put a ring on her!

Jason said...

Josh S. said...

I like when Vin says "ANdroid phone."

Nostradamus said...

Fuck, do I hate remakes.

Kyle Baker said...

Rancho GOD DAMMIT RELIEF PITCHING DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!!!

Josh S. said...

Elbert's been god awful since I praised him to Joe Block on Twitter.

Sorry, guys.

Jason said...

Apparently all of the phone lines are down in the neighborhood so credit card transactions aren't going through. Since I've already run a tab higher than the amount of cash in my pocket, I figure I might as well go crazy and run up this non-payable tab. Any suggestions?

Josh S. said...

Meanwhile, Kenley's throwing perfect frames in Chattanooga. Fat load of good that does us right now.

Kyle Baker said...

@Jason

Japanese whisky

Josh S. said...

Jason, that sounds eerily similar to our bullpen's way of thinking.

Kyle Baker said...

@ Josh

Hey, it's not like your comments caused the hated rival SF Giants to win the WS or anything.

MR.F said...

Argh. Matt Kemp should have caught that one.

Jason said...

New line of the night: That guy (Wigginton) looks like a super ugly baby.

Steve Sax said...

Bison, that was bad.

Kyle Baker said...

GOD DAMMIT RELIEF PITCHING DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!!!

Kyle Baker said...

Get this cocksucker out of there already!

Kyle Baker said...

What is it with guys wearing #55 for us sucking (modernly)

Josh S. said...

@Dusty:

NOPE. THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

I was on the moon at the time.

Josh S. said...

No lead is too big.

Josh S. said...

Is it weird that I'm excited that Miles is due up?

Kyle Baker said...

Dee Gordon - Kid N Play

MR.F said...

Jeebus, Loney is slow.

But I'll take it!

Jason said...

@Dusty 8:02

I actually have a bottle of Suntory Yamazaki at home that I bought in Tokyo last year. I have some on special occasions. Like Tuesdays.

For good times, make it Suntory time.

Josh S. said...

@Dusty: TBLA had the line, "Dodgers call up Kid, will have him Play."

Kyle Baker said...

I'm continually amazed how slow Loney is.

Jason said...

Run James, run!

Kyle Baker said...

Smoking' and drinkin' on a Tuesday night...

MR.F said...

Wow, the Rockies fail more than the Dodgers.

Kyle Baker said...

Watching CO is like watching...ourselves.

Kyle Baker said...

Mini Sirloin Brother is 0-5 but he's been brilliant with the leather. Love him already.

Kyle Baker said...

Nats win!

Josh S. said...

My phone thingy says we're getting runs back. Is it right?

Steve Sax said...

Jamey Carroll is fired up!!!

Yeah!

11-6 good guys

Kyle Baker said...

Fuckin Jamie Carroll!!! LHWGs rule!!!!

Kyle Baker said...

@Josh

I think you need to do a hard reset on your iPhone. It seems to be out of sync.

Jason said...

Where is Spank amd his shotgun to take out Dinger?

Jason said...

FJG

As in, F Jason Gambit

Kyle Baker said...

Kid in Play - only have to tag the bag once.

Damn I love this kid. Can I adopt him?

Jason said...

^ you know what I meant

Kyle Baker said...

Come on, fuckers! I need to walk the dog.

MR.F said...

Wow....

Josh S. said...

GRAAAAAAAH.

Just end this!

MR.F said...

Wow.

"What an afternoon, an evening, and a night."

For cereal.

Steve Sax said...

Nice catch, Gwynn!

Kyle Baker said...

(asks Mrs Dusty to walk the dog)

Josh S. said...

Yaaayyy! Charlie Blackmon ignored my earlier advice!

Steve Sax said...

Bartolo Colon pulls a muscle running - who could have seen this coming?
