Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Chad Billingsley (5-6, 4.65) vs. Max Scherzer (9-2, 4.32).
Ah, interleague baseball. The only chance the Dodgers get to face such AL pitchers as...former Dodger Brad Penny? Former D'back Max Scherzer? Scherzer has faced the Dodgers six times in his career, including four starts, going 1-2 with a 3.14 ERA. He's also tied for the MLB lead with nine wins, so he's used to a lot of run support. Hear that, Chad? Don't be a wild thing tonight.

Wild Thing, I think I love you.
Im hoping this is a one year fix for the lakers broadcasting team until the TW channel starts.
Neither of the new guys are PxP guys.
Its a real bummer to lose Spero.
That sucks. Spero has such a great sports voice.
John Ireland? Yeesh.
Since when did GameDay (on the computer or ipad) do nighttime graphics for the baseball diamonds? That's new.
I heard John Ireland on the PxP a couple of times last season.
It was...strange.
Bills showed some nice stuff. But too many pitches.
Wotcher Everybody!
Twins 8 - Giants 0...It's going to be a good night, y'all!!
Bills throws a sharp second inning.
Mini rally.
MSTI is doing backflips right now.
All hail A.J.!
Mini Ball
Rancho for Bills.
Aw, dammit.
Aw nuts.
Big fat zero
Don Kelly sounds like the name of a ballplayer from the 50s.
Trouble. Let's see what Bills is made of.
Eh, could've been worse.
Got out of it cheap enough. 30 pitches later.
Chad's working his rotund ass off, that's for sure.
Well, I suppose it would be man on second with one out no matter what; whether Loney or Miles is the better runner I can't say.
Where the hell is everyone?
Present.
Channel your inner Tony, tony
"The Dodgers, very fortunate, and they will take it!" - Vin Scully
We'll take it!!
Mini ball, part deaux.
epale everyone!
Urine singles! I'll take it! go Blue!
The on-field microphones are hot tonight. Every base hit sounds like a rifle shot.
What's up with Uribe coming to bat with a Rihanna song?
and epale, everyone!
DRE!
Hooray for Andre!
Andre!
We party with Dre.
Dre is back?
That was a bomb. I don't remember the last time I saw one of those
That HR was a thing of beauty, Dre!!
FB, according to Tony Jackson, he's doing it as a gag (with Kemp's permission).
ahh ok. Is that blonde goatee a gag too?
Matty's making really good contact
Checking in from the floor of my kid's room, as I try to get him to sleep.
Woooo, Dre!!!
A late Epale! to Sistah and FB!!
@FB: No, but it makes me gag.
Hey! A baseball just landed on my patio and bounced around in my tomato patch. WTF?
#Ethier
Wotcherpale'sup, everybody!
Bills not making things easy
Cabrera still battling a hangover tonight?
I wanna make clear that positive vibes go a long way!
who's gonna replace me as the resident optimistic?
Replace you? Are you going somewhere?
@Karina
No one.
Hola, Dusty!
Hola, Orel. Sorry I'm late. Hope I'm not in trouble.
hmmmmm, I got Alex Avila on my fantasy team...
Feel the hateHateHATE, Karina!
@Orel I'm currently working at a feature film and I'll be going to La Guajira aka middle of nowhere for a month and I'll have lots of shootings at night, too
Drop and give us fifty, Dusty.
Have a great shoot, Karina! We'll miss you. By the time you wrap the Dodgers might have a new owner.
No QS for Chad!
hahahaha, I'd love so, Orel
Uhhh...I can do the dropping part. The fifty? Hmmm...how do I hold my wine glass while doing pushups?
Karina, you're not doing pornos, are you?
Mike Macdougal inherits three runners.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
oh lord - please no
i don't want this
McDP!
UJTD
Huh. Nothing, apparently.
I that that post keeps me out of the running for resident optimist
UJTD!! Too bad, Tigers! Ha ha ha
Dusty: balance it on the back of your neck, of course.
Wait, are we talking pushups or porn?
I like Miles' curls. Was he ever in Air Supply?
@ karina 8:54pm
moi!
Ciao
that Cabrera GIDP was sweet.
@Dusty nope! actually, it's illegal to produce porno in this country, you can buy and distribute it, but not produce it.
@Spank promise it!
on the other hand, that tony gwynn k with the bat on his shoulder was pathetic
What the hell are they playing for Oeltjen? Some kind of terrible Australian house music?
"it's illegal to produce porno in this country"
As opposed to the Valley, where it's strongly encouraged.
@FB 9:10p: I know Miles has had a good run in the last 50 or so games, but let's not get lost in love here.
So that's why Venezuelan porn is so elusive.
go go go!!!
TrentBI!
attaboy Trent!
Thunder down under!
Now THAT'S a knife.
nice RBI Trent but stay on yer feet next time
Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Oy Oy Oy!
RDeeI!
Offense?
Oeltjen: Aguilas pride representing!
You have a 5-run cushion, here, Matty
@Orel it exists...
Farging iceholes. Keep this lead, dummies.
When I read Karina's explanation, I thought about Pulp Fiction:
Yeah, it breaks down like this: it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it and, if you're the proprietor of a porn shop, it's legal to sell it. It's legal to carry it, which doesn't really matter 'cause -- get a load of this -- if the cops stop you, it's illegal for them to search you. Searching you is a right that the cops in Venezuela don't have.
UJTD II
The devil is jumpy tonight!
(jumps up)
Barajas is going to make it home before this girl finishes GBA.
Did they shoot the cover for Roxy Music's Country Life album in front of those trees in the Dodger bullpen?
@Dusty that was lovely (and funny)
Why are all the fans leaving now? Do they stay for GBA or TMOTTBG and then split? Why not stay and watch Dre and Matty one more time?
Good call, Dusty - I was watching that on IFC earlier tonight. It's been probably 15 years since I've seen it
Did Dre come up a little lame after running out that ball?
Matty sneaks up further and further on the plate
Somebody's gonna buzz his tower at some point
Loney with "Looking for the Perfect Beat"!
Tigers broadcast is showing Ned Coletti playing Angry Birds on his phone
Matty with his 19th stolen base
One away from 20/20.
Oh Aaron, you're every woman in the world to me
And there's the 20/20.
and Matty gets #20
Welcome, Phil!
MVP!MVP!MVP!
ahhh Wolfman!!!
@Karina
Do they have illegal, underground, cartoon bear porn where you live?
Here's a Spectcled Bear, walking onto the set
HCK!
I didn't realize he was back
Jee-gaaack! What the hell is that thing, FB?
I'm freaked out by that.
93/94 on the fastball, still not where he was, but the result looked good. Plus he had that post-pitch hop back
a naked bear!
a south american bear, to boot!
my eyes are closing...I'll see Kuo doing a great job and I'll have to leave you...
Good Night lovelies!
Nice inning for HCK - he looked pretty good. I hope he felt good too
Good for you, HCK!!
gnite karina. I will excuse myself as well.
Sleep tight, Karina & FB.
Kuo mama!
Later, Karina!
(cries)
@ Karina
I promise!
*crosses fingers behind back*
"and how do you like that? Hawksworth strikes out the side."
(makes party with a cartoon bear)
I don't know how to feel just now.
I feel slightly drunk right now.
Tuned in in time to catch the 9th. Three things:
1. I didn't realize the game was being played in Miami. I think they would have filled more seats by not playing in front of Marlin fans.
2. I also did not realize that Kershaw taught himself to pitch right handed and stole Hawksworth's jersey. But, I like it.
3. I *am* currently making party.
