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 (6-6, 4.48) vs. Nick Blackburn (6-5, 3.15).
Hunky Joe is correct: shockingly, the Twins are 32-44 while the Dodgers are 35-44. But this is interleague, where NL dreams go to die. To wit: who will be the Dodgers' DH today? Jay Gibbons? Nope, in the minors. Rod Barajas? Nope, on the DL. Marcus Thames? Possibly, but he's day-to-day. Here's an idea: Clayton Kershaw! Why not? His .297 BA is loads better than most of the Dodger hitters.
4/3 vs. SF (W, 5-4): Sax
4/15 vs. WSH (L, 4-6): Dusty, Orel, Sax
5/6 vs. MIA (W, 6-3): AC, Sax
5/16 vs. CIN (L, 2-7): AC, Sax
6/12 vs. TEX (L, 2-3): Sax
7/5 vs. MIL (W, 8-5): Sax
7/21 vs. BOS (W, 9-6): Sax
7/24 vs. SF (L, 3-8): Sax
8/24 vs. TB (L, 8-9 (10)): Sax
8/29 vs. BAL (W, 6-3): Orel, Sax
9/9 vs. CHC (L, 4-10): Sax

So, Frank owes Vin money, but Steiner, Monday, Collins, and Lyons are all paid?
That.
Shit.
Ain't.
Right.
I think it just means that Steiner, Monday and Collins make far less than Vin and, therefore, don't fall in the top-40 creditors. As it should be.
Ah yes, I forgot that's only the Top 40. There isn't enough paper to list everyone he owes money to.
Steiner and Monday should actually be paying us.
Collins and Lyons should be mowing my lawn and picking up my dry cleaning, too.
@Josh S., 2:20:
That's what Lenin kept on saying to the Russian monarchs:
That Shit Ain't Right (TSAR)
WE SUCK: BANKRUPT EDITION
Hey, we're winning!
Damn, that's some bright sunshine.
Look at that!
Wotcher everybody!
Rick Monday is obsessed with saying "the Mendoza line" on the radio broadcast. I still prefer his play-by-play to Steiner's, though.
holy shit, PITCHER BADGES ARE NOW AVAILABLE!!!
Rick Monday never bothers to tell you the score of the game
James Loney... not suck?
Loney with a RBI!!!
i
want
my
chad
billingsley
badge
Another run!
uribe, the strike zone is over that way
@Jason He's also obsessed with botching Nishioka's name.
Frank is now searching for a way to "monetize" Blake GIDPs, Loney singles and Uribe swing and misses.
I'm running out of ways to talk about how much Uribe sucks.
Urine...still sucks
just think, we've got two more years of urine
and probably two more years of this mccourt litigation, ironically enough
"bankruptcy urinator" is pretty funny, btw
NishiokA, Ricky.
Monday works in a Mendoza line reference and also slaughters Nishioka's name in the same sentence. Well played.
Hey, I got a Nishioka badge.
Has emo Juan Uribe made a Tumblr about Urine's bat being on the McCourt bankruptcy liability list?
That was odd.
THUNDER DOWN UNDER!!!
HR!
That was the anti-Steiner call. I didn't once think, "I wonder the ball will clear the infield?"
Tony can't stop.
JR. 3-3 already.
I <3 the Twins!
Damn skipee, Beardo.
That's an error,Psycho. You fucking idiot homer.
Screw you, Johnny Rockets near Josh's office!
Squishy Nishioka just opened up Sax's TENTH badge case
145 badges, baybee
*Frank dials 1-800-LOAN-MART*
The Dodgers will have to put Urine on the D.L. because he just ran 2 bases.
I don't understand. The Dodgers are playing interleague baseball AND winning? I thought the two were mutually exclusive.
neeeeeed bills to make it through the next inning
Rancho Ethieriendo!
Not anymore.
i have to admit it's getting better
it's getting better all the time
8-0 Dodgers
These guys are playing amazingly inspired tonight, considering they will not have paychecks to cash in three days
Just got home. The center field cam at Target Field makes this look like a soccer match.
The score does not.
50
dammit
ethier, we needed a double to activate your badge (which I have already)
I think this game is the Dodgers' way of preemptively answering the inevitable question, "will the bankruptcy affect you on the field?"
I thought Jim Thome was dead. Or maybe I just imagined that steel mill accident.
yahoo, i think i'm in line for a billingsley badge baybee
upside: we finally have pitchers badges
downside: since the badge is based on "win", one can just poach until the win actually happens (rather than having to be online at that point in time)
^Nerd
ha ha twins, you are so bad even James Loney can have a multi-hit game off you
see you on the other side, dudes
These are the Twins we are playing right?
ha ha twins, you're so bad even Urine can get a hit off you
and take second base on a fielding error
17 hits, holy shit who are these guys?
Dodgers do not yet realize the Twins are in the AL
i cannot believe this game
mccourt bankrupt, dodgers fecund
Any realignment plan must include the Twins moving to the NL West.
Finally, we have a situation tailor-made for Broxton.
Hot Damn! What a play!
Well played, Mauer.
The dodgers are throwing a massive wad and won't have nothing left foe the rest of the week.
Jeebus. Golden Bison.
Dangle a paycheck in these guys' faces and look what happens... damn.
Jason Repko is still on an MLB roster?
Oeltjen basically crawled from 2nd to 3rd on that triple.
This is our offense for the rest of the week, so soak it in, folks.
That was almost a HR for lil Flash.
Correction: This is our offense up until August.
Rams 14, Vikings 0
Dodgers trying to make up the entire season's -42 run differential in one game.
That second inning sucked ass.
@FB: Frank sold the Dodgers' home hitting rights to a foreign investor.
Any chance Oeltjen bats again?
Anyone know a good TV repairman? My TV is on the blink. It says Dodgers 15 Twins 0. Yeah right. Please fix this now. Family Guy is on soon.
Trent bats third in the ninth.
Insane
Andre is the only batter with exactly one hit.
That's party-making worthy.
Making bankruptcy party!
boom! billingsley badge, baby!
Hooray!
Each of those runs cost $10 million, so now Frank REALLY has no money.
Shazaam!
So, if I were to find a participating Johnny Rockets, could I get 3 burger combos for $5, or at least one for $1.66?
Make your own burger,Boyiee!
"15-0? Geez the Dodgers really stink!"
-My Daughter #3
"Uh, no dear, they're winning."
-Me
"They're winning 15-0? Why couldn't they do that to the Angels?"
"Fair question, dear. Fair question."
Had to jump on the Metta World Marla Sports Czar Peace Baker bandwagon.
