Chad Billingsley (9-8, 3.92) vs. Micah Owings (4-0, 2.36).
Billingsley has not pushed his win-loss record over a net positive two-game difference all season long. But don't call Bills indecisive; in fact, he's reached a decision in each of his last 14 games. And this is the first game he's ever pitched as a 27-year-old (his birthday was yesterday). So I'm betting the new-found sage perspectives of older age will help Chad get over this mindblock and rise above win-loss mediocrity. The thighs have it.

looks like Hiro is staying put.
Fox reported that Kuroda is staying home. Will not waive o trade clause for any team.
We even failed at being sellers.
Nothing is going right this year.

Kuroda's going nowhere.
I mean that both literally and figuratively.
gordon isn't in the 'Topes lineup so at least he is getting called up.
Or he has retired from baseball.
OR TRADED!

I kinda miss Raffy and his windup on every ground ball.
That said, I'm looking forward to Dee getting every conceivable error out of his system over the next couple of months while it doesn't matter.
On the sofa, Vinny!

I hate the Douchebags.
Kid K and Ted L caught on camera talking. PLEASE don't impart any knowledge or rub off on him Ted.
I forgot about SoSG Streaking, making yesterday's drama all the sillier.
When did Owings become good?

@Marla
Since Dbags got to LA.
@Dusty - His 2.23 ERA says differently.
We get a minor league outfielder not on the Cards' 40-man roster for Furcal.
Wait, which comment were you referring to, MLAST?
The comment on Owings.
Ah, I see.
Pls help feed into the meme that pitchers stink until they come to town and face us, is allI ask.
Unfortunately, Owings hasn't stunk. That's what puzzles me. I thought he was on the fast track to becoming the next Rick Ankiel.
Kemp mos def up in dis bish!!!!
RUN(Z)
BISONIC BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
Bryce Harper is a minor league outfielder not on the Cardinals 40-man roster.
Go Nats!
I'm surprised it's taking this long to find out who the prospect is.
Will the debt ceiling issue be dealt with first, or will some piece of shit make-weight prospects in the Raffy trade?
So...the Indians are buying AND selling?
Where is everyone?
What's happening with the game?
I think my pants got traded to the Marlins.
For a Mermaid to be named later.
Bills has walked four, so you'd have lost anyways, Josh.
Though it does not look like he'll be getting that W.
Any chance we can throw in Guerrier with Furcal?
Joe, you're facing Loney. you can get this third out.
Loney hits back to thebox to end the inning. What a surprise.
Of all the pathetic at-bats by Loney, that may have been the pathetic-est.
So this wraps up the Loney years, who is at first next year.
It says Bryan Shaw is due up, but I thought he was with Golden State.
Why is Elbert being left out there to swing?
Oh, GIDP. Nevermind.
UJTD!
Heh. Vin is now doing the "How many guys need to reach in order for Kemp to get another at bat?" routine usually reserved for blog commenters.
Vin making me weepy re Raffy.
45
17 batters, by my count
Thanks for taking us through it, Vinny!
