Game 92 Thread: July 10 vs. Padres, 1p

Ted Lilly (5-9, 4.94) vs. Tim Stauffer (5-5, 2.97).

The Dodgers have the chance to go into the All-Star Break with a four-game winning streak, which would be our first of the YEAR. And all we have to do to earn that is get past the frozen food entrees of Stauffer, who has served up piping hot wins in each of his last three starts. Now, it's promising that the Padres haven't scored a run against us in the first two games of this series; in fact, the Dodgers haven't allowed a run in our last 27 innings. But do you think we can counter with...Lilly? Really?

Dusty up in dis bish!

I had a Stoffer' Mac and beef dinner on Friday night when the rest of the fam was out and I didn't feel like cooking. Do NOT buy and eat this. It was utter fucking tripe.

I am the bullpen catcher today.

Paul said...

Let's get four in a row!!!!

Kyle Baker said...

I will drink four beers in a row.

Kyle Baker said...

Headed to my MEX cantina for lunch, both solid and liquid, and to catch some of Dodgers game.

Paul said...

Boston and Bmore in a bizarro Dodgers-Pads game. 7-6 bottom of the fourth.

Josh S. said...

All due respect, Skip, but you can go straight to hell.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Josh - You're on the bench until you can improve your average.

I am perfectly aware of the paradox.

spank said...

Fuck The Padres!

And Ted Lilly!

Kyle Baker said...

On a barstool, Vinny!

spank said...

@ Josh

You can take my place at 1B. I sprained my ankle kicking Loney's ass.

spank said...

Lilly did not give up a homerun in the first inning. What is kinda crap is that?

Paul said...

Tony Toni Tone!

Paul said...

Fookie can't bunt. Let him k

Paul said...

Okay but that was lucky. A first inning run?

Steve Sax said...

Just saw those WWC highlights. Marta and the lame refs lost the crowd. USA!

spank said...

I just realized Dre only has 7 homeruns.Trade him,Ned!

spank said...

No soccer allowed in the GT.

spank said...

Hesitation killed the Gwynn.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Shit.

Paul said...

That might have been our only shot until a penalty kick.

Paul said...

Uribe and Dinner the Donut Duo!

Steve Sax said...

Dioner can't even get a double right, since the ground rule part stranded Uribe.

I loved how Vin said, "You wouldn't expect Uribe and Navarro to beat you..." (reflecting on yesterday's game).

Josh S. said...

Lilly gave up a daytime homer. I will now die from shock.

Paul said...

What a surprise. Jacque Cousteau gets taken deep again.

Steve Sax said...

Lilly stops the Dodgers' shutout streak at 29 innings. Great.

Kyle Baker said...

Lilly gives it up more often than Jessica Alba on a film shoot.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Stauffer's a little off right now.

Kyle Baker said...

S Green sitting next to Uncle Tommy today.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Stauffer's: Nothing's coming closer to home (plate). Walked the bases loaded.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

RUN(S)

Kyle Baker said...

2-1!!!! We suck slightly less than our opponents do!

Cliff Beefpile said...

I fucking love Matt Kemp!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Balls.

Cliff Beefpile said...

3 walks, 3 ground outs, a throwing error by the opponent, 2 runs...your 2011 Dodger offense, folks.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I hate those guys.

Kyle Baker said...

Getting sleepy....

Cliff Beefpile said...

Are you making fun of me, Rizz?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Ted Lilly badge!

Is-is that good?

Kyle Baker said...

E takes it out of the Yard!

Kyle Baker said...

@Marla

No. That's bad.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

We need more power!

Paul said...

Dodgers first home run in 244843 innings!

Kyle Baker said...

We do need more power. It's either more HRs or we have to bring down the force shields.

Paul said...

Wait that means they haven't hit one since...1843. My math is wrong. Stupid math.

Kyle Baker said...

Some scary lookin' stuff from KJ

Kyle Baker said...

Exactly, Paul. They haven't hit once since the Rounders era.

Steve Sax said...

Oh man, I just fell asleep and dreamed the Dodgers were up by a ton and had blown the game open.

Still, I'll take it.

Steve Sax said...

Metaphorically speaking, a Dodger game with a home run and a lead IS blowing the game open, I suppose

Kyle Baker said...

"Luke Gregersen is throwing up in the Padre bullpen." - Vinny

Steve Sax said...

He probably has heatstroke, Dusty

Paul said...

Little guy is teething and it is 100 outside. I really need a Dodger sweep to keep my sanity which might be gone already.

Paul said...

KJ lookin good.

Josh S. said...

@Paul: Teething fucking sucks.

Paul said...

@Josh

Indeed.

Miles is going for that Jason Werth homeless guy look. I do that once in awhile.

Paul said...

Dammit Miles right when I was giving you a compliment!

Kyle Baker said...

@Paul

Yeah, I noticed Carroll was teething, too.

spank said...

Whoopsy Daisy!

spank said...

Blammo Dre!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Pow! Er!

Paul said...

Dammit they scored 6 this weekend!

Kyle Baker said...

Was that strike 3 a strike?

#I'llTakeIt

spank said...

Fernie V said...

Holy shit boys a sweep, a four game winning streak, my summer just got better this week.

Jason said...

spank said...

I knew you understood that word. Gotcha!

@ Jason

I'll be right there.

*hitchhikes*

rbnlaw said...

Oh, and glad I could come in and eat innings in a quiet sort of way.

Thanks, Marla.

Kyle Baker said...

To wrap up a comment I made yesterday: While at Disneyland yesterday, I made a note of every MLB cap I saw while enjoying my day at the Happiest Place on Earth. Final score: Saw caps of all but two MLB teams.
Can you guess them?

spank said...

Dodgers and Angels.

Josh S. said...

Expos and Senators.

Paul said...

Giants still suck!!! All-Star break edition.

Kyle Baker said...

No real (non-sarcastic guesses)?

Paul said...

Marlins and D backs?

Josh S. said...

Astros and Rockies

spank said...

Hold on don't post the answer yet!

spank said...

Twins and Astros

spank said...

100!

Cc:karina

Kyle Baker said...

@Spank

Well god dammit, I was supposed not to have posted the answer yesterday. A+ for you for reading comprehension/retention and/or research skills.

Astros and Twins were two I didn't see. Finally saw a Rockies, though I think it was a gang hat not an actual Rockies supporter.

Steve Sax said...

Keep it down in this GT! You all are making so much noise, you'd think we have a four-game winning streak or something!

And get off my lawn!

Steve Sax said...

I am still so jazzed for that USA WWC victory I can't sleep.

spank said...

@ World B.

It's a shame I do not use said skills to hook up with Minka.Or,to be more accurate,her breasts.
