Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Hiroki Kuroda (7-13, 2.96) vs. Roy Halladay (14-4, 2.55).
Happy 8/8/11! The Chinese believe the number eight brings good luck, but the Dodgers are SOL because they're facing perhaps the NL's toughest pitcher in Halladay. Naturally, Hard-Luck Hiroki is going up against Doc. If it weren't for bad luck, he'd have no luck at all. Best of luck, Kuroda-san — you might not even hear "there's your run" tonight.

Burger King has Whoppers for 88 cents today!
In other news, Mattingly said Dioner Navarro has not yet reported to the ballpark.
Not so much that eight brings "luck" or "good fortune" as whatever your local feng shui guy will tell you; chinese people like eight because it's a homonym of treasure. And we all know that chinese people are all about the dolla billz.
Heat vision is how you kill what is already dead.
Heading to the park. I'll be in reserve with some kids in tow.
Look for the guy wearing a UCLA shirt and an exasperated look.
I think I'm in reserve 14. Very far up.
MLB sent me an email asking me if I wanted to get my picture taken with the last World Series trophy.

Phuck The Phillies!
Let it be said let it be written.
MICHELE BACHMANN WILL KILL US WITH HER HEAT VISION!
#newsweek
For the record, Kuroda is Japanese.
@Spank 7:01p: Check out what Gawker had to say about the Newsweek cover.
Good stuff,Saxy. That is Bachmann's normal look.
I have to read that Rick Perry, with God, find Americans jobs article later.
FUCK YOU VICKY!
1-0 Phils going to the bottom of the first
We've already lost
I just saw rbnlaw getting pummeled by a booze vendor for ordering a Miller Lite.
Jesus Fucking Christ! We got Little league players on the team.
Loney-3 Dodgers-0
This is going pretty much as expected.
Seriously is it 88 cent whopper day?
2 on for Bison.
Booooooooo!
Fernie, yes, but it was only from 8-8. I just missed the cutoff and went to The Habit instead. I think I'm better off.
Draggin' ass after a long, blurry weekend, Vinny!
THROW AT VICTORINO!
*mutes tv*
SITTDOWN YOU LITTLE BITCH!
Lil rally. Nothing to see right now.Call me if we get a second run.
God dammit I got a Ryan Vogelsong badge. I no want Gnats players. Can I erase them, Sax?
ps- I don't want Uribe, either.
Man, the NL West is fucking awful this year. Pity we can't capitalize.
We scored a run? Wow!
4-1 in the 7th. I thought the deficit would be bigger.

Boooooooooo
"They're not beating us by, like, 20." - My sister in law, who didn't even know I posted that last comment.
From a 3-0 count to a double play. Indeed, Vinny.
*shotgun in mouth*
The foul ball looked like ball four on Gameday.
When did Carlos Mencia start pimping K-Swiss?
We're creepin back! 4-2.
^ That was also a back door way of claiming comment #42.
Man on third. Only one out. Michael Stutes stinky. Pack of Cards up on deck.
45
I'd hit Loney with a goddamn bat if I was in the dugout.
Giants lose at home to the Pirates, 5-0. Charlie Morton badge (win)!
That reminds me,I'll have to ask Dave Navarro to come over and paint my nails.
@Dusty: there's no erasing unwanted badges! that drives me nuts!
nuts!
nuts!
Have no fear DelinO is here.
Bring in Velez to pinch hit!
(has fear)
"You're in our house now, bitches!" - sister-in-law
She is fired the fuck up.
Oh My Fucking God! We scored another run.
W00t!
As Charlie Sheen would say...
Juan-Ing!
My sister in law is 12 (for real). She's a bit more chill about the game.
Mostly cause we're watching Switched at Birth.
What is this upfuckery?
Hey Spanky, hit on Delino's sister in law.
Yeah that's always a shitty way to make an out. A base runner should have ability to freely run bases right down the line. Never liked that rule that favors the defense.
this is not going to end well
(getting hopes all set up on a pedestal so they can be crushed more easily)
@Dusty in a dark, dark place tonight
At the very least, Velez should have been at third, as he would have been had there been a normal put-out at 2nd.
That was fucking awesome,Gwynn. Did you think of bunting all by yourself?
BUNT ground out? WHAT THE FUCK
Now, just do all of that again in the ninth. No problemo!
Someone had better ask the fucking post-game question if any coach called the bunt
If any coach did, that coach should be shot
If any coach did not, Tony Gwynn should be shot
Better yet, I'm going to take a bat to Mike MacDougal's throwing hand.
Attempting to bunt when a basehit gives you the lead at home is very dumb.
I don't have the Twitters open. Any Dodger beat writers talking about that bunt?
The shitfest was capped off by a headfirst slide when he was out by 10 feet.
Throw a pineapple at Vickie's head!
Goodnight y'all.

That is why you hit him. He won't charge the mound anyways.
I THOUGHT HIS ASS WAS SUSPENDED
Hate that guy.
$%@&$&$&%^&&&&$#!!!!## TO VICTORINO
I'm always happier ignoring the game, and yet I keep coming back.
If his appeal is denied, they retroactively take away that home run, right?
Kind of jonesing for that Howard badge. But glad he got put down
Badges F with you. It's like fantasy football.
Almost had a Mariano badge than he blew the game. Normally that'd make me ever so happy. But it was a hollow non badge happiness.
Beard Power Activate!
well, that wasn't very effective, Andre
two run HR from Kemp, right here
Dre has dropped his clutch.
Matt Kemp's GameDay avatar looks like Dee Gordon
hmm. A strikeout seems to have slightly less impact in the run production column than a two-run HR.
ugh
Hrmm.
anti-climactic barely covers it
phuck
the month of meh
I bet the Beard is still on first, looking stern and pissed.
Post-game thread up. Not good enough.
