Hiroki Kuroda (6-12, 3.19) vs. Aaron Cook (1-5, 5.84).
It has been an arduous path the Dodgers and their players have traveled these past four months. It has been at times ugly, unnerving, nasty, not nice, ugly, and unsettling. Losing seasons always are, and this season, which is a losing one as well, has been no exception.
That the Dodgers are considering trading Hiroki Kuroda, that the Dodgers and their players are traveling an arduous path, that the Dodgers are having a losing season, is just plain silly. Sorry to use such harsh language, hand over fist.
This season is about losing, plain and simple. It is not about playing for the love of the game. It is about losing, and how much the Dodgers are losing hand over fist.
Of course, the answer to the question I never asked is the Dodgers could benefit from trading Kuroda. The Kuroda will continue to pitch well, no matter which team he plays for. The players will only continue. The definite article will continue to be overused.
The Dodgers have lost 56 games today. Who knows how many they will lose tomorrow, but it will not be less. That would be impossible, as it is impossible to unlose a game. And ultimately, now, you see, the Dodgers could sweep, now, ultimately, the Rockies.
From Dodger Stadium, this is Ashley Fox reporting.

Maybe Miles and Carrolls defensive positions have been mixed?
I'm digging the change o' pace writing style. SOSG was getting a bit...predictable.
(Is that Neeebs serious?)
Nnnoonan!
Nnnoonan!
Nnnoonan!
The game thread is great. And great is what it is. It can't be any less great than that. That would be impossible.
Love it!
Coincidentally they just announced the results of the bad writing contest.
This hurts my head.

"The definite article will continue to be overused."
The fucking the awesome
I might go old school with my definite articles tonight.
Err.. Ye may go ye olde scole of this ye nigh.
paul maholm and zack greinke badges acquired
The Sax will be at the dinner tonight, so the Sax will be not be able to make the comments as the much. The number of comments from the Sax will be less, probably much less. It will almost certainly not be the more.
woohoo I am winning!
suck it, Neeebs!
Nasty pitch to get Tulo. He is way off. Which means he'll hit two homers tonight
And the Under crowd takes the early lead in SoSG Card Sharks, er, Streaking.
why the FUCK is MLB.tv advertising a Jenny McCarthy/Royal Caribbean movie project between innings?
Out of beer, Vinny!
But on the sofa.
(Butt also on the sofa.)
damn umps. If the ump last night was calling those, Clayton would have pitched a no-hitter
attaboy Raffy
I think if Vin were to retire, he'd move to Denver and call Rockies home games as his retirement activity. He seems to really like them as a team
Matty with a two-out single, also known as a rally-killer
I think Vin has crushes on a lot of the Rockies players. I've thought that true for years now.
No game tomorrow? Noooooo! We actually have some momentum.
Dammit!
Rally: killed
45
my favorite Wiggington? Pookie
Who is your favorite Pokemon, FB?
Mr Mime
how about you?
holy damn, Matty
he looked like a wide receiver on that one
and Hiro works out of the jam
it's been a while since Rodney's gone deep
nice play by Pookie's brother. Why couldn't he do that the other night?
1-2-3 inning for Pierogi Kuroda
i like it, Raffy! Hang on to that feeling
Nice hustle, Raffy - don't get hurt out there
Cmon Dre, get him home!
that ain't gonna do it
gonna have to hit a ball in the air at some point. make him get the ball up
Seth Smith with a rip to the gap, 1 out, dude in a stupid shirt on second
balls - a walk to follow the double. Neeebs is catching me
wow great catch by Gwynn in the low corner!
ok one more out - finish this off, Hiro
and a foul-out to close it out! nice work, Hiro
On pace for 36, so the under-wearers are still good.
Loney with a 2-out hit
Barajas bomb please.
a walk? really?
Jamey has been the anti-Miles with risp
balls
Internet went down like a Tijuana whore. Then like 30 minutes later, I realized I had am iPad and 3G. Wonders never cease.
when's he gonna get us? Will it be now? I know it's coming...
wimpy chopper up the middle scores the first run
all this with two outs
get the last out, Hiro
Game over. Bad decision by Kemp on the throw to 3b
IWalk to load the bases, Pookie2 up
please get him out
three-pitch strikeout of Wigs to leave the based loaded but the Rox get the only run they'll need
Raffy's not 25 anymore
I hope the guys at Sons of Dante Bichette took the under.
oh Rod
imagine if he hadn't had that extra sandwich in the clubhouse before the game
*shudders at the thought of Dante Bichette raising children*
how the hell can the rubber come loose? it's dug like 3 feet into the mound. It's not some little league slab thrown out there
Cmon Dre, you're supposed to hit these bums
Matty can't lay of the sinking stuff, and Cook has the stuff sinking good
well we got a ball in the air at least
Miles gets on with a hard grounder off Ellis, Loney to ground out to the pitcher
Loney still pumping Looking For The Perfect Beat by Afrika Bambatta. Time to change the tune I think, even to Planet Rock
it really shouldn't be that easy to predict that
If this is it, thank you, Hiro
I'm the back
Hiroki the Kuroda badge!
Is it me or is it not as bright at the stadium? Is Frank skimping on the lights now?

oh gawd!
Crazy Stupid Love: that about says it all for our feelings for these damn Dodgers
barring a pickoff, that should do it for the overwears
and here comes the Wiggy homer
Ye 38th of ye batters now scheduled to appear at ye plate. Ye overs are ye winners.
Ye Dodgers are not ye winners.
A 3rd baseman taller than 4'3" would have caught that.
Hawksworth has good stuff but he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble. He kind of reminds me of Darren Dreifort in how he throws
hey, uh, guys?
we need to score here.
and that will do it for me
it's too late for this shutout-phobe
eugenio, you suck
btw, to those who are playing in SoSG Streaking, please confirm my math in the Proposition Post thread
would be nice if we could string some hits together for a change
2-0 Rox after 7
TB scores two in the top of the ninth, now down 13-2 to oakland
yeah, really interesting
Come on, let's knock Kim Kardashian around!
thanks for that K, raffy
Apodaca!
3rd place is an impossible dream.
I'm through (crying). I just want to hateHateHATE!!!
Fuck! Fowler.
Ok, I'm already through with the HATE and now I just want to killKillKILL!!!
Wait, I think i can HATE and KILL at the same damn time. There's room.
SELL SELL SELL
