Ted Lilly (6-10, 4.83) vs. Tom Gorzelanny (2-6, 4.07).
Happy 100th game! The 43-56 Dodgers are losing at a consistent clip, but they have to really bear down if they want to match the worst of the worst: the Royals (41-58), the Orioles (39-57) and — the big boys of losing — the Astros (33-66). A loss today is no sure thing, as the Nats are going from Lannan to 'Lanny, whose numbers are almost as unimpressive as Lilly's. Expect the opposite of a pitchers' duel.

I'm 4-8 this year in games attended. Opposing team has scored twice as many runs (62) as the Dodgers have put up in my presence.
Is this all my fault?
@Sax
Do you have a Dee Gordon badge?
After attending many a Pirates game with Gorzo pitching, let's just say I feel fairly confident about this one.
Well, slightly confident.
Okay, not confident at all.
I'm not even confident Lilly can find the Yard, much less the plate.
headed down to see the RC Quakes games tonight. Might actually get to see a team in a dodger uni win tonight.
Well a dodgeresque uni at least.
Give us a report later, Nic.
Skipping this one in favor of Chaplain America: The First Evangelist.
@Josh - I liked it better than Captain France.
Seriously, two hours of endless retreat, what's that about?
@MLASC
That sounds like the last six innings of last night's game.

Barf bags anyone?
Nice pre-game chatter on how to have a classy beard, using Casey Blake as model. You're still our La Barba, Casey! Werth, however, looks like a hobo's crotch.
On the sofa, Vinny!
Watching a movie in Dusty's 'hood, Vinny!
RIP Don Drysdale #53
@Josh
Turn your cell phone off in the theater.
ps- I didn't know we had any porno theaters around here.
Should I watch the game or enjoy my evening?
Watch the game, Paul. And eat your peas.
They must not show clown porn or Mr. C would have told you about it by now.
I am queing up a whole chicken tonight to give the team some mojo.
Are you cooking it, or sacrificing it, Paul?
I guess it's a fine line between the two...
Ted I am going to plunger rape you if you fuck up this game and thus my evening.
Where was that pitch, ump?
If this keeps up, so help me god, I'm pulling on a Nats hat.
(cries)
(stabs part of self that actually likes the Nats)
@Saxy
Check your email.

Whoooooaaaa! See what I did?
One of least surprising headlines I've seen today:
8 people reported shot at low-rider car show
Rancho Icantbelieveitiendo!
Just what I thought, a Kemp sac fly!
Colletti still isn't sure if we're buyers or sellers.
We are cellars.
RUNZ
Loney is one of the world's slowest men who should have been out, but catcher Ramos juggles it and the run counts. 3-2 Nats.
Then Miles went down like a Tijuana whore. Rally successfully killed. We go to the 3rd.
Third beer I meant.
Third beer since the game started, I mean.
You traded UP to a Ford Edge? What the hell were you driving before?
Two Nats on, only one out. It's on young catcher Wilson Ramos to make something happen.
We scored?? Twice?!?
Yeah, but the Nats scored twice two and a half times.
5-2 Nats after a double by pitcher Rick Ankiel.
Oh, how we need Our Lady of Perpetual Optimism to help us through these dark days.
6-2 now. Runs are coming as fast as I can type.
We go to the bottom of the 3rd.
(cries like a schoolgirl)

Are you taunting me, Tsar? Please let me just have one of my few remaining pleasures in life in peace. I'm fragile.
(cries like Mr. F)
I want a two-piece leg and thigh combo.
From El Pollo Loco, I mean.
@ Dusty
Ankiels come free with that combo.
Christ on a multigrain cracker, how can we be so terrible?
Whoa.
Way whoa.
Triple whoa.
54
6-5 now. We are slightly more terrible that are the Nats.
Keep Gorze-whatever in, please!
Lilly is a much better hitter than he is a pitcher.
Nats retired in order. 6-5 bad guys. We still got this.
Dammit, Nats put in a newer (e.g., better) pitcher. We may not have this.
Epale everyone!
just got home from work, are we winning yet?
@Karina
See my comment at 8:15pm
@Dusty I think Lady of the Perpetual Optimism will be off for the rest of the season, I'm working like crazy, eg got home at 11:30 pm and have to work TOMORROW at 7 am 'till God knows when :( and my immediate boss is like Miranda Priestly or whatever that character's name is spelled
:(
this game is still "winnable"
Our Lady of Perpetual Slave Labor it sounds like!
hahahaha Dusty, a couple of days ago, I worked from 8 am 'till 4 am, next day, when I got to the office at 8:15 am,she rolled her eyes and asked what was wrong with me and why I was late
*cries*
RANCHO ARDIENDO!
Henry is pitching with Rancho Ardiendo :(
at least he got out of the jam :(
What's the opposite of Free James Loney?
BEAT JAMES LONEY!!
(with my fists)
Imprison James Loney!
@Karina
You really wouldn't recognize him. He's just terrible. Terrible. We have to move on, alas.
Ummm
Hey guys! What's going on?
Ahhhhhh
Boooooo!
We went from a wide ass(Dinner)to a wide eyes(Ackbar).
Hey guys! What's going on?
Not to get everyone upset but it is almost August and how many homeruns does Dre have? Just asking.
Can you die from eating too much garlic?
.169. Even suck says you suck Fookie.
Damn, Sax, I was missing a brother.
We just tied it at 6, but very undeservedly.
"They're not throwing candy bars to this Oh Henry." —Vin
Dodgers 6, Nats 6
He has 5 more that Urine.
Kemp is in the hole. God bless him.
I am going to make popcorn...garlic popcorn. No!
Miles is now 0-for-5
I thought all our crappy power hitters would at least still hit like crappy power hitters.
@Dusty (and everyone else): I will be there tomorrow, but may be late. My kid is sick but I hope to be accompanied tomorrow for the game.
If you're there, lets grab a beer.
go Dodgers! you can win this game!
ladies and gents, it's time to go to bed, night
I'll drop you a line then, Sax.
@Dusty, just emailed you back
Wow MacD just got a K
Goodnight Karina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick Monday must have shorted the maple bat market as he brings it up EVERY fucking time that they shatter.
WE GET IT RICK
Nice play Rafster. Too bad you can't hit anymore
(gets it)
100
Poor Rick Monday. God bless him.
Bottom 8, tie game, Ryan Mattheus now pitching
Well exceueueueueueuse me
Awesome Dre!!
Mimosa anyone?
Loney's in the hole.Can he stay there?
Rick Monday: do you know what else shatters?
Our ears every fucking time you bring this up
Maple bats shatter. Get the fuck over it, it's not a goddamned x-files conspiracy
@Spank: Loney IS a hole
Cap was good. Real good.
Heh. Thanks, Werthless.
Miles is not only 0-for-5, he also has four LoB
Have we discussed how stupid his negative-handlebar is yet?
Sam the Eagle!
Loney at is second is 1-for-2 with 3 LOb
Hey, look, a weak chopper from Loney to end the inning!
Now Loney is 1-for-3 with 4 LOB
Was there any other possible outcome?
We go to the ninth, tied at 6
I'm naming my next turd Loney.
Damn, Spank. That said it all.
"I've gotta go take a Loney."
I gotta go drop off the Loneys
Thank God we never traded the great prospect Loney for anyone.
And then I have some Urine after my Loney
I ate some lettuce in Mexico and now I've got a bad case of the Loneys.
Nationals that is about the ugliest W I have seen and I have seen a lot of ugly Ws.
I miss hating Broxton.
@ Dusty
Loney's revenge
(cries)
I'm sorry the Drysdale family has to see this Loneyfest.
Rod Barajas is like a massive Loney.
Nexttime Loney hits a homerun I will Loney my pants.
Hey, that's a great start
Too bad we can't PR for Barajas since there is no one left to catch. Nice thinking Donnie
Yeah, who knew the guy batting .210 would get a hit.
I hate bunting.
First and second with one out for Furcal
Prove us wrong Raffy
Let the dry humping begin!!!
2-0 to Raffy, a .169 hitter
Hey a win!
BUY BUY BUY!!!
Holy Loney!!!
The race for third place is on!
Fookie will be on the 60 day DL tomorrow. Thanks Kemp.
Yay! Raffy English!
Raffy sounds like My Uncle when he is plowed.
@Paul
Raffy sounded perfectly clear to me.
#AlsoPlowed
Now I can focus on the booze thread.
Lyons is dressed like he wants to sell me a used Caddy.
"Lilly didn't have his best stuff." I don't even know how to respond to that statement from post-game.
Post-Game Thread up!!!
