Chad Billingsley (8-7, 3.87) vs. Ryan Vogelsong (6-1, 2.17).
Interesting bird, this Vogelsong. He started his baseball career with a seven-year stint in the majors, mostly with the Pirates, and underwent Tommy John surgery during that time. He then spent three years pitching in Japan, returning to the majors earlier this year with the Giants, to replace the injured but still-dreamy Barry Zito. Over his career, Vogelsong has appeared in ten games against the Dodgers, mostly in relief. He has a 5.96 ERA in those ten appearances. Naturally, he's currently in position to turn things around and shut down the Dodgers, whose recently concluded five-game winning streak will likely be their longest of the season.

If we can do nothing else, can we at least spoil the Jints fun? Is that too much to ask?
Yes, it is, but Kemp will try his damnedest anyway.
please, let's win this game
Dodgers go meekly in the first, but with Furcal Miles Ethier, what do you expect.
It's gonna be a long night, isn't it?
Whew!
So, we're all in agreement that Vogelsong made a pact with the Devil, right?
We'll know for certain if he dies ten years from now.
Quick, offer to trade Uribe to the Giants to take Tejada's roster spot
Faustelsong or Vogelfaust?
Yep. Devil pact.
Wow. You suck, Loney.
Oh fuck you, fatass.
That pretty much sums up the season.
You can trot around the bases all you like, you're still going to be a fatass when you reach home.
Trade everyone except Kemp, Kershaw, and Rubby. I'm tired of watching them all.
For some reason the name Byron Leftwich popped into my head.
So, tomorrow is Rub[b]y vs. Madison in a battle of high-priced call girls.
If we just forfeit the series altogether, we can save on airfare and hotel costs
Their fat guy: batting .308
Our fat guy: batting .208
Jesus, what is the point here
Starting to write the post-game thread now
Fucking fuck.
At least this keeps Ned the garbage collector at bay.
I hate Cody Ross with a seething passion.
I wonder if dodgertalk is still screening out overly negative calls?
It is difficult to stomach playing with such little pride.
We're done here.
I can imagine Colletti now...
"I suppose this team isn't going to be a contender. Well, I guess I better start selling. Hello, Detroit? Yes, give me a terrible, aging veteran! (hangs up) Wait, that's not how you sell. Let me try that again. Hello, Anaheim? Yes, send me Vernon Wells, ASAP! (hangs up)... DAMMIT."
I wouldn't know. i'm still screening out Dodger Talk
this does suck, I hate the 6th and 7th inning.
Do parents make up these stories, because I know Vin doesn't lie.
Hey Stevo, I think we need some help. How about some distractions for tomorrows game.
I really can imagine a lower low. Giants defending World Champs and the Dodgers bankrupt. I am glad I can't see the future or I would have knoffed myself in the robs in 2008. Unless of course we turn it around in 2013.
Bad, Worst and what happen up to bat.
I just cleared the lobby with a mexican food fart.
Was that the flash I saw outside my window?
The smell should be hitting you any second,primo.
Drive by comment here since I'm abt an hour behind in watching the game. But for the record:
On the sofa, Vinny!
Oops! I did it again.
Cc:Britney
I hate this team. I hate it so much.
The dodgers or giants?
We get that it is a sell out and you are tired of watching the pitiful crowds at Dodger Stadium, Vin.
Addendum: I hate these teams. I hate them so much.
Ethier batting .299, you think he is tanking so he doesn't get traded to Boston.
LFP, with a funny video.

oh shit it's a grand slam, I don't believe it.
I am just messing with you Dusty, did you fast forward.
I don't trust Rod Barajas.
I hate Ned. Signing these old guys and expecting to win.
post-game thread up
@Fernie V, thanks for the LFP tip! Posting tomorrow.
Don't mess with me, Fernie - I'm fragile!
