Clayton Kershaw (6-3, 3.44) vs. Johnny Cueto (3-2, 1.93).
Back into my office smitten, the night's GameThread to be written,
Soon again I heard a tapping, something louder than before,
"Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice
Let me see, then, what there at is, and this mystery explore.
Let my heart be still a moment, and this mystery explore.
'Tis the wind, and nothing more."
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately bobble, of the saintly days of yore.
Entering understated came he; whiffed opponents left to shame he;
Unconcerned with Frank and Jamie; perched above my chamber door.
Perched upon a bust of Garvey, just above my chamber door,
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Then the statue started wobbling, rapidly the head was bobbling,
Chilling me despite the smiling happy countenance it wore,
"Though thy arm and fist be pumping, now" I said "my heart rate's jumping
Worrying that thou's rubber-banded elbow ligament will be tore.
Promise me the yips won't augur greater DL time in store."
Kuoth the bobble, "Nevermore."

Gordon Carroll Ethier sounds like a little known British lord.
And, props on "Kuoth the bobble..."
I'm gonna make a run for it. I'll see you guys on the other side.
KCAL SUCKS!
How so?
Because I don't get that channel where I live.
Spank, I hope you don't have organic chemistry homework to do tonight, then.
I'm chasing Mr. C. I'm out.
=(
Okay, now I'm really leaving. really.
I have a good feeling about this game. No one piss on that.
Lord Gordon Carroll Ethier was a filthy Jacobite.
Just sayin'.
Truly regretting that promotion at this point, Vinny!
(cries)
(continues working)
Dancing Zumba,Vinny!
On the sofa and ready to go, Vinny!
Hello everybody!!
Karen in tha house!
Epale Karen!
Sittdown, Votto!
C'mon Jamey. Set the table.
Jamey, the glasses go on the right, and the bread plates on the left!
Good eye, Jamey! Table set for Dre and Matty.
Woot!
DEE FUCKIN GORDON, ladies and gentlemen! As Karen said last night, I look forward to watching this kid play for us for years to come.
I'm loving this Gordon kid!
Good god, do we have to do the flag-waving shit again, Vinny?
That's a nice looking play, kid.
Boooooooooooooo! (to Dish Network)
Gordon may actually make me enjoy this shittastic losing season!
Vin gets the "old people" pass for patriotic sentiments.
I only give Vin Memorial Day and the 4th of July (the latter very begrudgingly as a royalist). He can't have Flag Day, too.
Vin Fucking Scully can talk about whatever the fuck he wants.
standing ovation for you, Sax, LOVE IT!
Epale everyone!
Epale Sista!!
Wotcher, y'all.
Wotcher Mr.F!!
Now that's an at-bat!
Alright Kid!!
Epic at-bat.
Where did everybody Kuo?
Dinner time.
Dee shoots Bruce down!!
@Spank: It's like every night the Men in Black wipe our minds to make us forget the Dodgers suck, so we can be freshly surprised by it every game.
Still here, but my witty commentary has stalled.
@Mr. C: I just made a Men in Black reference, so I didn't exactly bring my A game.
I'm waiting for a momentous event on which to deploy my wit and wisdom.
Holy fuck, he's fast.
*draws a mental blank*
*watches MIB II*
I LOVE SPEED..I MEAN DEE!!
SpeeDee. I think you just nicknamed him.
Wasted...
...and not in the good way.
I like that Josh.
Lost in the overall suckiness of the team us the fact that Ethier has been pretty awful lately.
I'm in my room in trouble. Josh yelled at me.
Everytime i see a pic of Loney my blood boils with rage and only violence is the cure.
It's true. That Andre Ethier is one streaky motherfucker.
killKillKILL
DIE LONEY DIE
*wanders by thread holding a paper bag and mumbling about the Aliens who stole the Dodgers life force*
*notices Kuo bobblehead on floor*
*points and laughs....and cries*
@Dusty: You're free to come out of your room.
But no dessert.
Elbert. We fucked.
Man oh man I dislike our bullpen
Jesus H what an arson squad we've got.
I hate Hawksworth
Please God. I don't want to watch a movie tonight.
Elbert, Clayton gets to kick you in the nuts
NOOOOOOOOOO
MAAAAACDOOOOOUUUGAAALLLL
McDooogie. Great first pitch.
good job, Mac. You're making Jason look smart
Get four walks!
Gwynn, Miles, Gordon - think if they could combine their power they'd hit a homer?
*kicks DSBG in the nuts*
We'll get Brandon Phillips some day, probably 2-3 years past his prime
nice rip, Double A
go to second, Lil Dee!
Bottom of the ninth in 'Zona, Giants with a 6-5 lead and Wilson pitching
shit balls
Ackbar fell for the trap,again.
throw strikes, stupid
Lewis, you SOB ex-Gnat
My Gleek in to run
Fuck you lousy pen!
Imma lock that gate next time I'm at the ravine
god dammit - you had two chances to get the last out without a run scoring and of course you couldn't do it
Hot Damn! The bullpen sucks!
I am gonna dig a pit in front of that bullpen and fill it with cobras
giants won. grrrrr
is it just me or is andre ethier's arm getting more noodly by the day there in right field?
Well. Rule no. 1 of a winning steak:
Must include improbable comebacks.
Not likely even for the improbable.
Streak. Typos a plunty.
Snap out of it ,Dre. Your trade stock is falling.
Wake up, bullpen, and take note. This is how a mediocre pitcher does it
100
Just get on base Matty.
Nice AB, though the pitcher probably realizes if he gets past Kemp it's basically over.
a kemp ninth-inning walk is all we have for which to cheer

ML.com knows. Frank? Not so much.
Rule no. 1 of a winning steak:
Don't overcook it
Gameday is a fucking mess. Matt Kemp saw 100 pitches in that at bat according to them
2-run Loney HR right here, I'm calling it
(ha!)
Okay Matt you are not the tying run.
eff you, Cordero
2-1. James. Get locked.
kemp steals second just to stop cordero from fricking throwing to first base
@Paul,
Matt realizes Loney's propensity to GIDP. So he's just trying to keep the rally going.
Matt Kemp is amazing.
nice work, James!
thanks for making this more painful
LONEY!!!
Well it wasn't a HR but we'll take it
Nice. James going the otherway on the change.
cmon, Casey!
Have no fear, DelinO is here
One more fucking miracle and we tie.
Beastly Beard. 0-2. Don't like this.
My neighbors' kids are HUGE Reds fans. IF you're at the game, be nice to them
Whoa...that was a bit close
Best slide ever
yeesh that was close
Casey was swinging like he had to get to the cleaners before it closed
Cmon, Rod!
In Rod We Trust
Dog's asking for a walk. Son needs a diaper change. But everyone's gotta wait!!!
Oh god, I can smell the letdown already.
Basehit basehit basehit basehit.
Just poke it somewhere, Rod
It's always Barajas or Dinner who comes up when the games on the line.Shit
Sigh.
meh.
Dog Poop or Baby poop.
Gotta choose my posion
meh.
Dog Poop or Baby poop.
Gotta choose my posion
Free Ellis!!!!
10-0 from here on out!!!
Crap
It seems like that happens every other goddamn night this year.
Great news, DD! Now you don't have to choose.
2-10!!!!
PGT up.
