Hiroki Kuroda (5-7, 3.35) vs. Bronson Arroyo (4-6, 5.28).
Arroyo and his funky leg kick visit Dodger Stadium for a three-game set starting tonight, and if you thought the fireworks were over when the Dodgers left Coors Field, think again. Just over a week ago the Dodgers and Reds combined for 37 runs in a three-game series in Cincinnati (which the Dodgers won!). Now Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and company are looking to bust out the bats against Kuroda, who understandably might be feeling the need to be perfect. In his last ten starts, the Dodgers have scored more than three runs exactly once. No pressure, Hiroki!

10-2!
Comming to a Stadium near you....
Paul, I too am feeling like we're gonna make a run here.
I don't know if it's a 10-2 run, but I like your optimism!
Gordon - SS
Miles - 2B
Ethier - RF
Kemp - CF
Loney - 1B
Uribe - 3B
Navarro - C
Gwynn - LF
Kuroda - P
Loney hitting behind Kemp? Over/under on Kemp walks tonight: 3.5.
Battletoad set to undergo neck surgery later this week. Yikes!
(cries for Chente)
@Sax
Yeah if we lose tonight then my prediction becomes even more....optimistic!
Egads. Neck?! I wish him the best.
Spank:
I forgot to tell you how much better you look these days. That is you do look like your Avatar, no?
how he looks at the internet

I don't know what Stephen Cobert is up to over at MLB.com, but he's picked Andre Ethier today (MLB.com has picked Ichiro).
After a 10-game stretch of early starts, 7pm seems a long way away.
Serious Scooby-Dooing going on today, it seems. Don't sleep on that Captain America post; I just dropped a bomb in there.
Okay Dusty, I'm heading over to those there parts
Epale everyone!
I'm with Paul, 10-2!
If you ever wondered what became of Cory Wade (I know I haven't)...

thanks for the wade news mr la sc
On the couch, Vin!
Pulling up a chair, Vin!
Epale Everyone!
Peaking on 'shrooms,Vinny!
Epale,Karen and gang! It seems to me like Kuroda is pitching every other game.
I'm confused. Which Dusty Baker is the black Dusty Baker?
Epale karen and Spank!
Did anyone else just get one of those old-fashion TV test signals on mlb.tv?
DAMMIT! I just opened my first beer of the night and it's skunked. And I didn't even get it for half-price.
cc: Dusty
Got the same color bars here on Prime Ticket,Jason.
Bill Walsh sighting in front row.
Apparently, Frank sold off the modern A/V equipment at the Stadium for spare change during the road trip.
Dude taking major advantage of the buffet that is included in the seats right behind home plate. That was an impressive pyramid of Dodger Dogs he carried back to his seat.
Jason 7:13 We got the old fashion color bars here, too.
I sure hope we can score more than 2 runs for Hiro tonite.
Dee Gordon makes me feel so old
Dee Gordon makes me feel really fat.
Didn't take long for Colbert to win.
LONEY!!!
1B comes through
I see the team hypnotist convinced Loney that he's in Denver.
Urine stinks!
A veteran gets that call.
Damm 1-1
hey, hiroki! wake up!
Paul Janish is starting to piss me off.
Goddamn Brooks Robinson on first base
DEE GORDON!
Atta boy Dee!
Dee Gordon...Again!!
DEE GORDON!
Dee quickly makes up for last inning.
Bean Kevin James!
Is that Lebron's brother?
Kevin James? The murderous hobo from Boston?
Rick James brother? That guy tried to start the xylophone death metal.
Come on Matty. Start something
1B again with a hit. Keep raising your trade stock, mutt.
Those head-first slides make me nervous. But still, KEMVP!
We get a run but Urine fucking sucks. I hate him.
I would be pissed at Urine for that DP but dinner is up so it doesn't matter.
DAMMIT

Are you an Astro fan too, Marla?
I thought one benefit of moving to Phoenix would be getting to watch the Dodgers play the D-Backs at a reduced price. Now I can't even have that.
That swing was Urinesque
@ Marla
Go on strike as a rabid Milwaukee fan to have the Brewers moved back to the A.L.
Vinny said Alice and Chains.
Made my night.
Can't you see the Dodgers at a reduced price in LA?
That is the third time I've seen Gordon break a bat since he was called up.
I still have to pay the service charge on Stubhub.
Wow...Dee at it again
I likes Gordon.
You'll have better access to the team in Spring than the rest of us, so quitcher bitchin'.
I don't like that HR.
@Josh - Never!
I don't like Heisey's neck beard.
Wait, Marla moved to Phoenix?
75
Leave Marla alone. He's going to hook me up with kind football tickets when the Rams play the Cardinals.
(hopes)
Dibs on Marla's couch during spring training next year!
@Dusty - Not yet, but in about two months.
Home late after battling some bad press, Vinny!
Spank, I'll hook you up with Rams tickets against the Seahawks next year. You might have to carry Pete Carroll's hoodie if it gets too warm, though.
Who stole Dre's pop?
The Unibomber played for the Reds in the 50s?
Doesn't Dr. Geek live in Phoenix?
I need to get out this from my chest:
quit mocking King James, he's improving!
*cries*
I was looking at Dre's numbers today and thinking, "Damn, where'd the power go?"
Only if he'll take care of mine,Jason.And I'm not talking clothes.
I want go up to see the Rams in Seattle.
Marla watch out for the Drunks at camelback on St. Paddy's day.
@Karina - Never!
@ Karina re:1B
If you are talking to me,I stated in a GT last week that the only times he does good is when I talk shit about him. If you don't believe me,look at the results.
Also The only time Loney fucks up is when Spank talks shot about him.
Janish has officially pissed me off.
dammit, dee and aaron and andre for a poor throw
Sorry about that skunky, full-priced beer, Jason. I meant to open a Cuzquena just now but instead opened a Black Hart Stout that Mrs Dusty had stashed in the sixes holder. So having to drink a stout with my chicken burrito - not a good pairing.
well Spank, in that case, you can mock him as much as you want to...
and Czar, I just can't convince you of anything, right?
I've got Brandon Phillips on my fantasy team
*sighs*
99!
FUCKING SHIT!
Goodnight everybody.
this is getting very bad very fast
Where's the hard liquor?
Argh, we suck.
@Dusty 9:07
A good mole sauce for that chicken burrito would have improved the stout pairing.
So...this is one of Paulie's two losses, right?
I'm not sure if it is the Dodgers bullpen or that skunky beer from 2 hours ago, but I just broke out the Rolaids.
Dona Maria mole. comes in a small jar,imported from Mexico.Mix with chicken broth.Nothing fancy. The fucking bomb!
goodnight ladies and gents!
still hoping they win this game
I do not believe that stat about Loney's batting average over the past 44 games (sorry karina)
well, i finished up the scrubbery opened bottles in my house
cakebread sauvignon blanc
verve cliquot champagne
a man of the people tonight, i tell you.
Verve Cliquot Champagne? I'm pretty sure the homeless guy that camps out in front of the library across the street from my place was drinking a bottle of that last night. I'm not kidding, that's the bottle with the orange label, right?
The homeless guy seemed happy at least. Apologies for not saying hi if that was you, Sax.
Well just got done with cleaning my kitchen and return to this crap.
2-10!!!
I knew we should have beaned Votto.
We can still go 9-1, right? Right?
(cries)
Hey! I finally got a badge today. Justin Smoak for a lousy single, but still.
Fly MSBs, fly!
Dee!
DEE GORDON!
Flash!
Score him, Miles! Now!
Just hit it in play Miles. Dee can tag up on a pop up.
Told ya!
If that wasn't a popup, it was pretty damn close.
The dude is fast.Scores on a shallow flyball.
Time for back to back jacks.
Time to flex some power, Dre.
I think we're going to have alot of fun watching Dee Gordon for the next several years.
Whe did Dre steal my swing?
Yay Dre!
Dre swings at one around his shoelaces.
I know I'm going to have a lot of fun watching Dee Gordon's high top fade for the next several years.
I love the commercial with the girls all screaming for Matt Kemp. I, too, have a secret crush on him.
Is that Frank schmoozing with the regular folks sitting behind first base?
That wasn't even in the same zip code as a HBP.
Commercial would have been better if it was Don Frank and Ned screaming.
Thx for that mole tip Jason. Oh and also Spank.
How do you afford that top shelf shit when you're paying full price for beer, Sax?
This has been bugging me all night, but I'm pretty sure that is a band sitting on the right aisle of the first row behind home plate and I can't figure out who it is. I was thinking Paramore if Haley died her hair black but that's not right.
139 badges, i think thanks to Justin Smoak
It's all in Loney's hands!
*cries*
Loney to tie!
I'm sorry, that was meant to say "Loney to cry!"
I think your right Jason. Not sure what band. But look familar.
LeBron-0 Rings
Spank- 0 Badges
Can I be called King? Oh wait a minute, I am a King.
Damn, that was pretty much a pitch out, too.
Looked outside.
Not a strike.
Yankees are calling 1B. Best get a hit fucker.
It's that Flaming Menudos cover band, no?
That's the Neeebs lookalike on the far left.
DAMMIT JAMES!
Maybe Kemp can steal third. And then home. And then pinch hit for Dinner.
Loney, that sucked.
If you end up striking out weakly and on one knee, it's a bad swing.
Dunno the band, but I saw Dennis Haysbert behind Barajas.
Rod will kills us or make us stronger.
Not a strike
Better hit it out, Barajas, because that's the only way you won't get out.
Two strikes. Pull a lucky Burrell Rod!
Kemp has one dirty uniform tonight. Gotta love his effort this season.
Is that Jonathan Davies on the right?
Oh no, It's a guy.
@Dusty 9:53p: I struck a deal with Frank McCourt and bought 100 beer vouchers in advance for half price
We so dead.
How come Dionner makes the last out every fuckin time?!!!?
Should last me through the homestand
Wow, did that suck.
I'm watching the game, people.
Leave it to the .169 BA guy!
At least get a piece of the ball for fucks sake.
Man with Loney jersey makes sweet foul ball grab from loge level
Wait, that WAS Loney
Haysbert is a Pasadenan.
Chicken Dinner's our only hope.
Oh please just get a walk.
Ugh.
We we we so unexcited
BALLS.
(Not put in play.)
I'm too depressed to get a ticket for tomorrow night's game.
Le sighs, all around.
Good night, Vin.
Where's the hard liquor at?
@Spank - With the hobo that Jason spotted.
Saxy!! Break out the hard liquor!!!
