Game 79 Thread: June 26 vs. Angels, 1p

A rare misstep: Matt Kemp argues after being tossed yesterday. Which means he should be extra rested for today.

Clayton Kershaw (7-3, 3.01) vs. Jered Weaver (9-4, 2.01).

What a weird time. The Dodgers, playing some of their worst baseball in years, are days away from major ownership turmoil. Everything seems uncertain, except this: The Dodgers' best pitcher is going against the Angels' best pitcher today. Who cares that the Angels are going for the series sweep? Except the Angels. They probably care.

DB: Hate is such a strong emotion. I reserve that special spite for the Giants.

*wont admit he's a closet Angels fan*

What Would Yoda Say?

Kyle Baker said...

"Angels we do hate."

Kyle Baker said...

Good news from Joe Block:

"Mattingly said #Dodgers RHP Jonathan Broxton felt elbow stiffness playing catch yesterday. His rehab stint will be delayed."

Kyle Baker said...

Where my dawgs at?

Kyle Baker said...

Wow, Steve Lyons, it is so weeeeeeird that people from different places around the world have - get this - different accents! Whooooa!

Kyle Baker said...

On the sofa, Vinny!

spank said...

It's time for Dodger suckage brought to you by the McThieves.

Kyle Baker said...

My 10:01am comments counts as my positive comment for the thread.

Kyle Baker said...

I was at that game Vinny was just talking about where we were no hit but won the game. Also one of the most boring games I've ever been to.

spank said...

Alohapale!

Kyle Baker said...

It's pretty sad that Broxton is the team's save leader (7) even though we haven't seen him for weeks and weeks.

spank said...

I've got your muscle milk.

spank said...

Eh, Boooooooo!

spank said...

The kid's on fire

spank said...

I'm going to take a nap.

Kyle Baker said...

This game will be over by 2:30.

Kyle Baker said...

Mr C is a big old turd!


(tried to lure C out of hiding)

Kyle Baker said...

KKKKKKK

Kyle Baker said...

GAAAaaaahhhhhh!!!!

We are just awful.

*keyboardplant*

Kyle Baker said...

Except Kershaw. He is amazing. Even with the leather.

Kyle Baker said...

Yo wake your ass up, Spank.

Kyle Baker said...

Just because it hasn't been said in awhile:

(cries)

Kyle Baker said...

I believe that the law of averages dictates that if we load enough runners up over the course of the game, we are going to score one run at some point.

Kyle Baker said...

Alas, not yet. Thought Urine's shot was gone.

Back to the drawing board. 0-0 after 6.

Kyle Baker said...

The Green Lantern ad behind home plate is just mockery.

Kyle Baker said...

Man, it's lonely in here. I'm going to have to invent an imaginary friend.

Josh S. said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Kyle Baker said...

Angels up 1-0. That's an insurmountable lead.

Kyle Baker said...

@Josh

Ok, I won't invent an imaginary friend.

Kyle Baker said...

Can we pitch to you every day, Vernon Wells?

Kyle Baker said...

I totally forgot about badges.

Kyle Baker said...

KKKKKKKKK

Kyle Baker said...

Bottom of 7th already. What the hell am I supposed to do the rest of the waking day after the game is over?

Kyle Baker said...

Home run for Jamey Carroll right here. I'm calling it!

Kyle Baker said...

Well shit. MSBs ball made it out of the infield in the air - that counts as a HR for him, doesn't it?

Kyle Baker said...

"Dodgers about ready to put an ad in the paper to get a run" -Vinny

Kyle Baker said...

Kershaw is the most explosive offensive threat today.

Kyle Baker said...

Weak grounder from Gwynn to end the inning coming up. I'm calling it!

spank said...

^What he said

Kyle Baker said...

I was wrong!!!!

Josh S. said...

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Kyle Baker said...

My god was I wrong.

spank said...

I'd like to think it was my reappearance That made this run possible.Your welcome.

Kyle Baker said...

I'd like to think it was my derogatory comment about Gwynn.

Josh S. said...

I like to think it's that Vernon Wells sucks ass.

Kyle Baker said...

I was just thinking last night about how awful Wells is as I saw his 3-run HR rocket into orbit before my eyes.

Kyle Baker said...

KKKKKKKKKK

spank said...

Why can't Loney pull a hamstring or sprain an ankle,break a bone? Or whatever?

Kyle Baker said...

Why can't that have happened before that last play where Loney let the ball get away.

spank said...

FUCK YOU LONEY!

Kyle Baker said...

Vinny with the zoology lesson.

Kyle Baker said...

KKKKKKKKKKK

Though I didn't think Abreu went around for that last strike.

spank said...

We did not give up a run in the inning after we scored a run. Unbelievable.

Kyle Baker said...

Put Kid K out there one more inning. He can break his record (13).

Josh S. said...

Loney's not going to homer here, is he?

Josh S. said...

Loney just swung at a pitch that was so low, it got singed by the Earth's core.

spank said...

Loney's playing golf.

#horribleswing

Kyle Baker said...

I told ya.

Fred's Brim said...

spank said...

There's your Corona,Dusty.

Josh S. said...

1 run? Improbable.
2? Impossible.

Josh S. said...

Uribe

Kyle Baker said...

Son of a fucking nutcracker. I hate this game!

Kyle Baker said...

Pack it up pack it in, let me begin...

Kyle Baker said...

Come on, Dinner. One swing.

Fred's Brim said...

Kyle Baker said...

Gordon steals 2nd!

Kyle Baker said...

I used to have a girlfriend named Dee, Fred's Brim, making your last comment rather funny to me.

Kyle Baker said...

Home run for Jamey Carroll right here. I'm calling it!

Kyle Baker said...

Huge pasta order for Scioscia coming up! I'm calling it.

spank said...

We gotta score now.If we don't,I'm going postal up in dis bish!

Josh S. said...

This game is giving me the vapors.

Kyle Baker said...

AWFUL SWING, Miles.

Josh S. said...

WHAT ARE YOU SWINGING AT HALF PINT?

spank said...

Why is Miles swinging at that pitch? Fucking idiot.

Kyle Baker said...

Kid In Play IN THERE!!!!!!

spank said...

Scioscia needs an oxygen tank at home plate.

Kyle Baker said...

Was he safe or not?

I mean, I'll take it.

Kyle Baker said...

Get Scioscia a pizza, stat!

spank said...

The ball was there on time but the catcher never tagged SpeeDee.

Kyle Baker said...

That's what I thought, Spanky.

spank said...

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

Kyle Baker said...

Ah, the requisite Kemp dry humping Gwynn.

spank said...

Dry humpimg time!

Fred's Brim said...

yahoo!!!!

Fred's Brim said...

Tony Jr sounds like Tony Sr

Kyle Baker said...

My god did I need this win.

Kyle Baker said...

I will be sad, however, if we don't make it over the 100 count in this GT. Come on, people, represent!

Fred's Brim said...

me too, DB.
It's nice to know good things can happen every once in a while

Fred's Brim said...

100? I think we can do that...

Kyle Baker said...

I love reading the Twitters when we win even though we've been playing poorly. Lots of people out there stick it out through thick and thin.

spank said...

I'm crying tears of joy like a Kitchen Nightmare makeover.

Fred's Brim said...

I can't believe Florida is playing home games in Seattle just so U2 can set up for a show. That's bitch

Kyle Baker said...

Still on the sofa, Vinny!

Orel said...

PGTUP!
