Hiroki Kuroda (6-11, 3.13) vs. John Lannan (6-6, 3.62).
This is the story of a skinny young man who was chaysing fame and fortune when he was first drafted by the Orioles in 1997. He played two years in Toronto, and then was trayded to the Dodgers, where he showed some promise before getting hit on the wrist by an Ay J Burnett pitch, causing an injury that playgued him all season.
And so this young man moved on to the Phillies and blossomed over four years, winning a World Series and even mayking it to the All Star Gayme. So he picked up some swagger, along with a lot of faycial hair on a once-nayked chin, and parlayed his success into a crayzy seven-year, $126M deal with the woeful Nationals. And in his first year in Washington, this player is now batting .218, or 47 points below his career average. And the Nationals are now 13.5 games out of the divisional race...just like the Dodgers.
We Sons want to tayke a moment to say, welcome back to Chavez Ravine, Jayson!

Should be "Gayme Thread"
Then the Nats' pitcher should be John Laynnayn.
Though I would have gone with a John Lennon theme. I despise people that can't spell Jason properly.
Good call, Dusty!
Good call, Jayson!
(finishes beer, heads to the Yard)
Still drinking Bud-y-ser here.
Does that count? Will the judges tayke that?
If Hiro does well tonight, with or without run support, say, "sayonara!"
To hell with this Y shit.
rbnlaw, why the haytin'?
Tonight is Round 1 in The Battle Of SoSG Dusty's Teams
Enough maYhem, Sax!
Hmm. Haytin does rhyme with Saytin.
The John Lennon joke has been beaten to death by Charley Steiner. Every single time he mentions him in the out of town scoreboard, he says, "John Lannan and Yoko Ono."
EVERY.
SINGLE.
TIME.
In between the living room and bedroom, Vinny!
At the table drinking, Vinny!
In honor of my avi: Zima Tyme!
Might need Aladdin Bail Bonds if the Dodgers go all Padres on me.
Chillin' drinking Tang,Vinny!
and away we go. . .
Those Nats batters will get the distance down by the 2nd inning.
Sheesh.
Dear Prospective Employer of Hiroki Kuroda:
You may want to think twice.
Sincerely,
rbn
Nice fucking beard,Werth.
*points and laughs*
My son just now:
"Geeze, this guy is like a Sasquatch."
re: Morse
Every ball the Nats have hit has been a BB. Kuroda does not want to be traded.
Great.
epale everyone!
just give Kuroda some time to adjust, ok?
For what it's Werth, I'm no fan of this guy.
@Spank:
That's what my kid said. He's 9; I should probably yell at him.
Karina,
I'm sure Kuroda's new team will give him a couple of starts.
Still Werthless.
@rbnlaw I hope he stays
#eternaloptimistic
@ RB
Nah,don't yell at your son. He's on the right track.
I have a problem with Ethier's walk up music. Don't ask why,I just do.
@Spank what's his song?
@ Karina
I have no idea what the name is but it's hippity hop.
Well............
For the love of shit.
I look away for 1/2 an inning, and everything goes to hell?
karina,
You're going to have to explain all those red wine tweets from this week.
Even your man Chavez got into it.
I think DB dropped his phone.
Drive by comment: This does not aypeayr to be going well.
New name, thanks to Vin.
GameDay is all apeshit right now. Can't get to a tv with a sick kid in tow
I thought I saw DB dry humping Honeycutt in the dugout.
That or Lil Abner, Josh.
Correct. Li'l Abner, via Vin.
You know how batters have those multi-pitch at-bats where they foul off about 10 pitches, then get a base hit to the opposite field, advancing the runner to third?
Yeah. That never happens to the Dodgers.
It looks like Werth's Norelco ran out of batteries.
You know those at-bats where the batter goes 3-2 and fouls off a few before popping out and then the next batter grounds out on the first pitch?
Yeah, that ALWAYS happens with the Dodgers.
@Josh (aka JTC) and I laughed!
@Spank: Werth's girlfriend borrowed the batteries.
ohhhhhhh!
For the record, I've been posting just to be re-invited to the SOSG gathering. . .if it happens.
out
I am officially boycotting the Star Wars Blue Ray discs until Lucas puts back the original Annakin at the end of Jedi and the Ewok numb nuts song also at the end of Jedi.
I'm boycotting the Star Wars Blue Ray until Greedo shoots last.
How did we score?!!!!!!
I'm going off gameday, how did Rivera double to short?
This is going better than I expected.
Pretty typical, we are down by three and score two with none out...only to see four more batters come to the plate and we can't score the tying run
3-2 Nats through 4.5 innings
What? We are still losing, Furcal is 0-for-3 and batting ,167...
My god, what were you expecting?!?!
I was expecting Werth to hit three homers and Lannan to be throwing a no-hitter.
Just found out how we scored. Thanks peeps! not really.
Under Juan Rivera's preferences, it says he loves to face knuckleballs.
Insightful.
He also likes to ball knucklefaces.
Don't everyone comment at once now.
K'Jan!!!
NERD ALERT!
Ah, MacDougal is warming. So, we're countering their weenie looking pitcher with our weenie looking pitcher.
weak ass shit doyers
@Spank - But what's your caption?
People in this town aren't used to something starting with Clipp being good.
July 2011 Kemp is starting to look like 2010 Kemp.
@Spank 8:41p: Desmond botched a high-hopping, totally playable grounder from Urine, scoring both RISP.
Giants lost! D-bags lost! This is our chance to start our move back up the division!
My dad is at the game and all reports say he has not been arrested yet!
Oh Shit Stairs is up. There goes that.
Davey Johnson opts not to take the Stairs after all.
Booooooooooooooooo!!
Kuo relieving MacD
Thanks Saxy.
Our bullpen is interchangeable suck.
3-0 count from MattyG. Wi the bases juiced. Nice job.
Kuo yanked after one batter, but Guerrier walking a tightrope here
Well Goddamn
Holy shit.
Son of a bitching bitch.
Well done, Guerrier!
Nice pitching move, Mattingly!
Make it stop.
Oh, fantastic.
@Sax - I redirect you to Spank's comment at 10:19, re:Mattingly.
What the hell happened it was a one run game.
It was gonna be a loss anyway.
Post-game thread ready to accept all whining, complaining, and frustrations.
Why not just let Rick Honeycutt relieve Kuo next time, then
Paul's dad is getting arrested in the parking lot right now for selling forged,bootleg copies of Flaming Menudos 8-tracks.
