Game 76 Thread: June 22 vs. Tigers, 12n

"Cello Upon the Water" by deviantART user lilmissseven. Or as we like to call it, "Pour, Cello."*

*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.

Kemp is better than Hemp.

Odds of a walk-off?

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Pride of Dong said...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I don't like this.

Alex Cora said...

Yup! Just got home to see the dodgers...

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Not looking good.

Odds of a K?

Alex Cora said...

Ha ha Vin said im not sure if he grew that beard,but he ( valverde) sure takes his time

Jason said...

FUCK!

Alex Cora said...

Dammit

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Close but no cigar.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Balls.

Nostradamus said...

Bollocks.

spank said...

Another foot longer and that fly still would've been caught

Alex Cora said...

Lose. Ugh. 5 runs on 13 hits. Great.

Josh S. said...

Sucks, but really just lost on mistake pitches. Oh well.

I'd have let Gordon hit. Less chance of a K and enough speed to stay out of a DP.

Josh S. said...

.500!

(In interleague.)

Steve Sax said...

post-game thread up

what the hell am i going to do tonight with no baseball???

Nostradamus said...

Booze. There's always booze.

Kyle Baker said...

Yeah I was going to suggest booze.

Steve Sax said...

(opening up the oban right now)

Steve Sax said...

Kyle Baker said...

Consider it your tax dollars well spent today, Saxy.
