*Yes, we know it's pronounced "por-SELL-oh." Yes, we're too lazy to find another picture.
Ted Lilly (5-6, 4.26) vs. Rick Porcello (6-5, 4.18).
The Dodgers, with a season record of 1-2 in their baby-blue vintage unis, look not only to balance their throwback books but to actually get a sweep. Against a winning team. Against a winning team from the AL! What in baby-blue blazes is going on here?
Newly minted 20-20 man Matt Kemp will lead the charge against Porcello, while Lilly (2-4, 4.63 lifetime against the Tigers) will hope the law of averages doesn't bite him in the ass — the Tigers, who have averaged 4.46 runs a game this year, have scored one run in two games against the Dodgers.

Poor cello.
(however, I'd love to be played by that woman! so I don't feel that bad for the cello.)
So, you'd let her ruin your wood?
It was a double bass before it took a dip in the pool.
@Josh S 9:17a: I'd let her inflict all the violins on me that she would want.
Be careful. I heard she likes to straddle various guys.
+1
I'd let her scratch my rebec
SoSG Fest 2012, anyone?
Also: WANT!
She can fiddle with my hurdy gurdy anytime.
I never figured Josh as one to be judgmental against lute women.
I like the way she handles the bow.
Miles - 2B
Urine - 3B
Ethier - RF
Mr. 20/20 - CF
Loney - 1B
Thames - LF
Dinner - C
Ackbar - SS
Lilly - P
I'd let her adjust my reed.
I mean-er-DAMMIT.
Yo-Yo Ma!
PGT up?
Holy Shit!
Lilly on pace to strike out 27 while giving up 9 HRs.
Run Urine, run!
Dodgers answer with two in the bottom of the first. Unbelievable!
Loney with an RBI? OMG! OMG!
See what you did,Jason? Another Tiger HR.
Magglio two-run HR puts the Tigers ahead by one. Makes up for hitting in to last night's DP.
@Spank
It's not my fault that small sample sizes sometimes turn out to be accurate.
Sorry Rick, you have to bat here in the NL
You can't hide! Undermine Porcello-ello-ello, eh, eh, eh
Lilly, 49 pitches through two innings.
Yikes.
Dodgers badges available today:
Carroll 2B
Gwynn HR
Thames 2B
I don't think any of those outcomes is at all possible
Waddle, Dinner, waddle!
Dinner K
Carroll in play, out(s)
Back to reality. Dodger suckage.
could lilly possibly have a 1-2-3 inning?
nope
rancho ardiendo for the padres with none...now one out, in Boston (1-0 SD, top 4)
I was ready to hop in my ride,drive to Seattle and strangle Jason had that double been another homerun.
Updated Lilly pace:
9 HR
18 K
GODFUCKINGDAMMIT!!
Christ, Lilly, what the fuck is up with you today?
5-2 Det
btw I got a Miggy Cabrera badge with that HR
boooooo
You suck,Lilly!
3 more years of this
@Sax
It gave me a Cabrera stolen base badge. Did he steal 1st, 2nd, 3rd and home?
@Sax 1:03PM: Today?
SD breaks it open, it's 5-0 SD and John Lackey is chased with one out in the top of the fourth.
no badges yet though
dodgers go quietly in the third.
5-2 Detroit.
@Jason: you're right. Box score has no record of a Cabrera SB, but I do have a Cabrera badge (to be totally truthful, I earned that badge a while ago).
oh shit, on to the fourth --> no more vin on the radio app playing through my iPhone
boooooooo
holy toledo, a 1-2-3 inning for Lilly here in the fourth!
(granted, it was the 7-8-9 for detroit, but...)
I'LL TAKE IT
on the floors of tokyo
or down in londontown to go go
with the record selection and the mirror's reflection
i'll be commenting by myself
show us the way, matty
Matty's still feeling good
Sorry, Sax. I had to go into hiding to avoid a Spank strangling.
Matty makes it a double
huge jump for Kemp!
SB
FJL with the walk
Thames up to tie it up
Now Kemp needs to hit his 21st home run to keep things even. I hate when things aren't even.
FJL BB
come on dodgers, don't squander this
@FB 1:24p: now that is some funny shit
@Jason - that's what Koyaanisqatsi was about, Matty's HR and SB ratio
Thames with the RBI single
and now for the bottom of the order!
Thames RBI single!
I'll take it
thames boosts his average to .193 with that single
5-3 DET
Jansen and Kuo are both back? Where the hell have I been?
Jansen is back?
Jamey up with men on base is not a good situation. They should have squeezed before he got to two strikes
cmon Jamey, fly ball, kid
That was in no way surprising.
Goddamn fucking Loney is slow!
leave the bag of rocks at third next time
and by bag of rocks, I mean Loney
I'm sorry, was that a Koyaanisqatsi reference?
Can we just call him SLoney from now on?
Maybe they will play some Philip Glass the next time they go to commercial
Mmmm... In-N-Out
I don't trust these guys on back-to-back days
hell, I don't trust them at all
fudge
Mike MacFutile
I love two out hits with RISP by the opposing teams.
Spank's disappearing act has me seriously concerned that he is actually driving up here to strangle me.
I hope he brings me a Double Double. And booze.
christ Charley - they are playing baseball - I can hear it beyond your voice. Why don't you tell us about that?
Those of you listening to Charlie do realize that this is the MLB.tv free game of the day, right?
james loney, rod barajas, dioner navarro, and juan uribe are in a footrace
(finish the thought)
Damn! Only 180 feet short of a Tony Gwynn, Jr. home run badge.
@Sax
. . .
hehe Furbush
@ Jason
You want the double double animal style to go along with a 40oz of Steel Reserve as your last meal?
@Jason - I am trying to at least appear to be doing work :)
@Jason:
That works work you, FB, and presumably Sax (if he's out of town again), but I'm blacked out.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
hehe Furbush
They used to be cool about the free games, but now they black them out too.
When is Urine going to something, anything?
@Josh
You could try routing through a public proxy server. http://www.publicproxyservers.com/
Urine pisses all over the rally.
Let's put Loney in the 2 spot.
Dre RBI
Cmon, Matty! Tie this shit up!
Rally killer at the plate.
Matty with the hit to keep the inning going for Loney, the rest of the team takes the field to play defense, Loney is confused
HEHE Furbush
SUCKY DUDES SUCK!
It seems like the Sucky Dudes are up every inning. That doesn't seem fair to me
James' first time seeing Furbush!
Sucky Dudes don't suck so much! At least for one at bat
Loney may be slow but he's 1-for-1 with an RBI!
Johnny Rockets deal! 5-for-5 day! Burger meal for five bucks all day tomorrow!
(how is this the first time I've heard of this deal???)
(and why is it called "5 for 5" when it triggers only with the fifth run and has nothing to do with a 5-for-5 performance?)
In Detroit, this deal is called the Jhonny Rockets deal
Loney defeats Furbush Man!
Nor do you get 5 items for 5 bucks.
Detroit has a pitcher named Al Alburquerque?
Awe to the some
I hope the Johnny Rockets down the block from my office participates.
Shouldnt we have him playing for the 'topes?
I am in town today so I'm blacked out of tv
(sad trombone)
deee-layed in Boston, SD up 5-0
Seriously. Who names their child like that?
Suck Dude Thames walks
I wonder what Suck Dude Dinner will do
Four-pitch walk for the River
Alburquerque isn't getting his pitches anywhere near New Mexico
Are the Tigers about to take a wrong turn wtih Albuquerque?
(oh wait, it's Dinner at the plate. Probably not.)
They walked Thames to get to Dioner.
man, dioner is so unthreatening it's amazing
0-2 to Dinner
1-2 to Dinner
2-2 to Dinner
Rancho ardiendo for Dinner
Guess who's failing? Dinner
10 hits for the Dodgers through five
I think that exhausts their quota for the day so they're done scoring now
As long Lilly didn't leave his gas can in the bullpen, we should have a chance.
Does Lilly even have a gas can? I'm shocked.
nice sixth inning there, Kenley
that's how you do a 1-2-3 inning, Lilly
dammit Carroll, I really want an Ackbar badge so you've gotta double
RT @joe_block:
#Dodgers 1B James Loney batting .404 in his last 16 games (including today)
TRADE. VALUE.
well that was quick.
6-5 Detroit through six innings.
Vin seems to bring up a similar point on Loney every game now. It's almost like Vin wants to inflate Loney's trade value, as well.
Or the propaganda machine is shoving this in front of Vin and forcing him to say the words
Wha hoppen? I stepped away for like a second and missed the whole sixth.
@Sax
Ackbar is the only Dodger badge I have. Trapped him way back on May 6th.
Maybe don't use Jansen for two innings in his first day back, huh?
Speaking of the good admiral...
Jansen with 2 Ks after a leadoff walk
Here comes the 2-out rally
and Cabrera walks
two on, two out for Martinez
Guhrear coming in to do what earned him his 3-year deal: strand runners
No real harm in pitching around Miggy.
Oh, V-Mart's up next. Damn.
Donnie's lucky there's an off-day tomorrow. He can burn through everybody.
Hey Gameday, the Dodgers have abandoned the "Welcome to Dodgertown" slogan. Get with the program.
It's "Welcome to Ghost Town" now.
Nice work, Matts
Charley telling us "the dodgers are trying to make it four wins in a row" is something like playing Don't Stop Believing when we have the lead
nice job Guerrierererereer
DO SOMETHING, SUCKY URINE
@Josh S 2:31p: I feel like you want me to review that video favorably...
IT'S A TRAP!
come on, urinator
Urine is a strikeout machine too, Charley
Urine 1-for-4 and at .214 today
How many more years did Ned sign Uribe? What a waste.
I'm done with Urine being Emo. He should just be gone.
hmm we can't seem to do much against Al ABQ
Ethier, now would be a good time to exit the slump and start another streak. please.
Urine, Lilly and GuhRear, all for three years
can't spell "The Duke City" without a big K
Lilly-Urine-Guerrier
the LUG nuts that Colletti has signed
five-pitch, two-out walk for the Kempster
Matty draws a walk
Can Loney can do more or is he done for the week?
steal matt steal
"Candlesticks always make a nice gift" - Leyland on that visit
now would be a very, very nice time for a Loney HR
Loney is really stepping in the bucket during his swing these days.
just like I said, we're stalling out at 10 hits (no hits in the last two frames)
@__@
*sits in for cello on GT image*
It'll be tough to get Matt and Dre up again
I thought for a second that Spank sat in jello.
Can we just charge that home run to Lilly?
GuhRear, you ass
Son of a bitch.
The Tigers, on the other hand, are not limited to eight hits.
leadoff HR in the 8th makes it DET 7, LA 5
Guerrier does know he's pitching again on the field, right?
guerrier pulling a bumgarner here
Get the hook!
Or, uh, get the hawk.
I desperately want this one so they can hold onto a winning interleague record for more than a day.
I don't like this team.
30,332 paid to attend, 10,332 showed up.
OK I gotta run - win this one without me, please
half-price food and non-alcoholic drink can't even get 'em in the stadium
wonder if they had had half-price beer, if people would have come?
(that's for you, Dusty)
NOW you single, Dinner. Great.
Carroll, get me that double
7-5 going to the ninth
Getting back to the Gwynn walk for a second:
Going by Gameday alone, where did pitches 3 and 5 miss?
javy javy javy
@josh S: there used to be a way you could "replay" at bats on GameDay. Is that function gone? How did you get that screen shot?
Snagged it as it was happening.
200
nice snagging, josh
You can still replay at-bats in "classic" mode.
I'm definitely in the Javy Guerra Marching and Chowder Society.
Charlie calls such a horrible play-by-play.
It's like he watches the game and forgets he has to describe what's going on to those lacking a visual.
Basic premise gone wrong.
I'm annoying my co workers by playing DSB on my iphone, screen a is the game, screen b is this thread, and I'm on the floor in the fetal position. (what's work?)
If we don't win by the time Kemp is done batting,we're fucked.
^ This is why I'd be OK with him going back to TV. At least I could see what was happening.
it's all up to you, urine
I'd be okay if Charley goes back to the Zoopraxiscope
(Go Cardinal!)
Urine, you're out!
