Rubby De La Rosa (2-0, 1.80) vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (1-6, 4.73).
This should be a pitching adventure. Rubby, fresh off his walkalicious start in Philly, has never pitched in the thin air of Denver. Ubaldo, whose sole victory this season came against...wait for it...the Dodgers, struggles in said thin air. He has a 7.67 ERA and a WHIP of 1.832 at Coors this year. The Dodgers and Rockies have combined for 45 runs over the first three games of this series. Expect more balls to fly as the Dodgers look to salvage the split.

I have a feeling I'm going to be hitting the Rubby alcohol during this one.

Your all clear Dodgers! Let's split this trip and head home for 12 games!
Maybe it is the coffee talkin but I am feelin a 10-2 homestand.
And two home off days during this next stand. Time to get right and get Frank out.
It's gotta be the coffee, Paul.
Just called Orel and woke him up just so i could understand the GT picture.
Ohhhhh.
We are all up and at 'em!
Let's hope the Dodgers are too!
@Dusty.
Well this is the gourmet shit.
No freeze dried taster's choice in this casa.
@Paul
I replaced your gourmet shit with Taster's Choice!
I'm drinking coffee from Harrod's that I smuggled back ony last trip to London. Highbrow fare this morning!
Does one have to smuggle coffee from London? I didn't know there were any restrictions. Unless there's something else in the coffee.
Rushing to get grilling supplies before the game, Vinny!
RUBBALDO
Settled in now, Vinny. Settled in.

Been waiting all morning for this:
On the sofa, Vinny!!!
Making Mini Sirloin Burgers today in honor of the tremendous effort put forth by our tiny team yesterday. Mrs Dusty found some tiny buns to use.
Where is everyone? (cries)
I'm over here.
Rubby my magic lamp and wishing for more strikes from De La Rosa.
(Waves at Josh)
Well, that frees up my afternoon.
Is BP over yet so we can get this game started?
I was just thinking the same thing. Now I can fiddle around with the grill, water the tomatoes, press the mini patties, etc. And not be too terribly bothered with missing anything in the game.
Fuck I was posting in the wrong thread.
Loney and Urine single with one out, but... (preparing)
@Dusty: have fun pressing the mini-patties
Shit,you can't turn a DP fast enough to catch Barajas? You suck, Rox
@Sax
Actually I'm going to have my sous chefs work on that aspect. I'm going to do the manly stuff like lighting the fire andnchopping shit.
Rubby?
LONEY!!!!
(But don't think I didn't notice you swung at the first pitch.)
If James Loney hits a grand slam and no one sees it, did it happen?
Rubby better be up to pitching a complete game.
Epale everyone!
go Dodgers!go King James!
I can't stay but I wanna say they'll win this game :)
ps didn't habg around here because we had a 26-hour power outage :(
99.6 MPH!!!
Joe Block said 100. I'll round up too.
Bison HR!Barajas dealing! go Blue! :)
Dusty's gonna have to move up to wet-humping Kemp.
@Josh 1:23
Rounding up is the American way. I'm pretty sure it is in the Constitution.
Oh, and afternoon everyone! I'm not the only one that was up drinking all night, right?
^green with envy
Things I'm enjoying about this telecast:
* Kershaw wearing those ridiculous flip-up shades in the dugout
* Vin's ongoing man-crush on Carlos Gonzalez
* The fact that I can't fathom the size of Matt Kemp's next contract. 8 years, 1 bajillion dollars?
Rex Brothers? Does he double as an auto repair and tow garage?
45
Where did everyone go?
*sniffs self*
Back. Had to go out for a bit.
Steiner and Monday went into detail they normally save for Mike Stanton's musculature when they described Rubby's finger injury.
Midget Militia!
Welcome back, Josh. I was about to add "not having to listen to Rick and Charlie talk about Rubby's finger" to my list of things I like about today's telecast, but I just lost the mobile MLB.tv feed.
DAMMIT!
At least Vin gets an extra moment with his man-crush.
Tron de-rezzing before our eyes.
I like the "Josh 1:23" - like it's scripture. Which, if Josh says it, I pretty much consider it scripture.
This is the most annoying series of the year BY FAR.
God dammit, Troncoso, you fucking suck donkey dicks. Get the fuck off my team already. You lose!
<3 CarGo!
there it goes Tron's scoreless innings streak
I'm glad there are fewer than 3 CarGos.
GAAAAAHHH MACDOUGAL DAMMIT I HATE YOUUUUUU.
We should draft this guy:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110611/ap_on_re_as/as_philippines_shortest_man_2
And with that bit of sucky pitching, I'm off to see Super 8.
OK, I hate you a little less now.
@Jason
I prefer the sucky pitching over schmaltzy Spielberg crap.
Oh Tronny - I like you but I am done with you. You haven't been good in a couple of years and I wonder if that small window of success wasn't just smoke and mirrors. That slow, flat fastball isn't fooling anybody anymore, even me
Oh, Betancourt. This asshole takes an hour between pitches.
Did I spy Broxton in the pen? I wasn't sure if he was traveling with the team.
Imagine if someone taught Uribe how to swing.
Urine did something!
How can you miss Broxton?!?
Heh, yeah, he was there. I thought he was rehabbing somewhere else, too.
@DB 9:01am I once saw a bum in the subway enjoying a rubbing alcohol, Hawaiian Punch cocktail. I was impressed.
@FB
Was it Johnny Ryall?
@Jason 1:54pm you have been on quite a run lately!
I knew a 1-2-3 inning wasn't possible
@DB it's very possible
So Plaschke wrote an article about how easy it is to like the Heat?
My god, I loathe this man.
Ok, Brox, shut 'em down.
(cries)
Ok, Hawx, shut 'em down.
(cries)
whew
cmon, kid, one more...
Double whew.
Throw at Dinger!
Throw at that little girl getting Dinger's autograph, too!
Colorado needs to check the settings on the humidifier. I think the janitor bumped the dial when he was cleaning the other day
Is that Dinger or Dingerette? The bedazzled crown is a little disturbing
I've got an idea: Let's not give their power hitters anything meaty that they can hit out of the park. Just sayin'.
Mrs Dusty in Law tells me that there is only one Dinger, no Dingerette.
But, if you have to ask...
I don't want a fuckin Chris Denorfia badge.
Elbert-time. What's the over-under on walks? 2-2.5?
You know what would be nice right about now?
A fucking closer.
OK good - I can bag on Dinger without being sexist
0-2 - get him the fuck out! Losing him is now unacceptable
@Fb - I there was a Dingeretee, you could still bag on her without being sexist. You just couldn't call her toots and ask her to do your dishes and shit.
wow!
TRIPLE WHEW.
I'll take it! Now let's get out of there before they make us play another inning
Cincy, Rox, Phiwwy road trip: 5-5
Not awful, folks.
Not bad at all. Get our pitchers back to the friendly, expansive confines, keep hitting going, at least a little
Rubby my head trying to figure out how we got out of these last two games with wins.
10-2 homestand or mine name isn't Guadalupe.
Make party!
Hey Dusty, remember when I said back at the Ravine that the only thing good about this upcoming road trip was that it was at three hitter friendly parks?
61 runs scored, and about a bazillion hits.
What Josh just said is absolutely true. We air cc'd Karina for that to count as a positive comment.
Booooooooo! Oh Shit! We Won!
