Ted Lilly (7-11, 4.86) vs. Cliff Lee (11-7, 2.96).
Wow, look at those numbers. It's like Ted Lilly and Cliff Lee are complete opposites: 7-11 record vs. 11-7 record, crappy ERA vs. good ERA, three-letter first name/five-letter last name vs. five-letter first name/three-letter last name. The only thing somewhat similar about them? Their 2011 salaries: $7 million vs. $11 million.
Tonight is Duke Snider bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium. A nice touch: the Dodgers are flying Snider's Hall of Fame plaque from Cooperstown for display in Autograph Alley before the game. Think it got bumped up to first class?

I think this is the one we win, but we get no-hit by Jo Anne Worley tomorrow.
Badge Alert: Opportunity for a Furcal as a Cardinal badge (single).
I do not know if there's a tear-stained variant.
Torii Hunter badge has me complete my 19th badge case.
Too bad the Furcal one is already as a Cardinal, as I never got a Furcal badge as a Dodger...
Also available as a badge in the MIL@STL game: Nyjer Morgan, still not a Brewer (though he's been a Brewer all season long).
section 51 if anyone is going. i'll be in my Bison tee.

I need a bison jersey.
Okay John G., that shirt is awesome!
I got the Nyjer Morgan badge. If Andrew Bailey completes the save here in the bottom of the 9th (A's up 4-1), I'll have my first complete sweep of a team with all 3 A's badges in one game.
The Angels are in a pretty good position to get a badge sweep. Haren needs one more K and the lead needs to stick for Walden to get his save.
Luke Hochevar's picture on his badge looks like a screen shot out of MLB The Show 11.
Haren gets pulled with 6 Ks to ruin the possible sweep.
I've already got a Haren badge, so whatever.
Three outs before a Gavin Floyd win badge.
Bailey with the save. Sweep!
They done got B hats on
310 badges, ladies and gents
72 badges, 64 of which I've gotten since Saturday.
Beard with the high socks is an interesting sight.
Awesome tribute to the fallen Johnny Storm in center field.
@Josh 7:17p: Yeah, there is definitely a second-mover advantage in the MLB.com badge game. Nice work!
Furcal is 0-for-3 btw. All we need is a frickin' single
All we need is one pin, Rodney
not so clutch, andre
Okay guys, I'm going to the other side. Let's try to get 100+ comments tonight, dudes and dudettes!
kemp is 1-for-10 against cliff lee
Make that 1-for-11.
make that 1-for-11
dammit kemp
why do I get the feeling the Phillies are toying with us?
@Mr LA SC: dammit, you are too fast! see you at the 200 threshold my friend...
F U C K
We are doomed.
NOW I'm going to the other side
Well, that Dodger half of the 1st was like the opposite of a blow job.
A suck job?
A boj wolb?
All is right with the world - we hit Victorino!
Throw at Victorino while he's on base!!!
Mrs. Dusty (via phone): [Dusty], did I just hear it right on the radio that we hit Victorino?
Dusty: Hell yeah!
Mrs. Dusty: [laughter]. Ok, bye.
J-Mac achieved! Cwiff Wee too.
Ted's doing a pretty good Kuroda impression.
throw at this sorry-ass ho
I was happy to get Cliff Lee.

Fookie badge!
(cries)
Badge Fest!
Glad to have Furcal pog. Wait, do I have one with him as a Dodger?
Wait, he would have had to have played, and played fairly well, for that to have occurred.
(checks)
80 badges, 0 Yankees.
@Josh
How did you get Young Mc's pog? I have had that game open all night and I ain't got shit. Getting all the others, so I know it's working.
Dunno, but it's there.
Ha! He only has 2 Ks. I'm on the right side of a Gameday glitch for once.
It's like trying to describe space, then, isn't it, Josh?
That's Ryan Howard, not Frank Howard, Vinny.
So, I guess it will go as an error and the badge is unearned.
Anyone going to the game tomorrow?
Besides Fred's Brim and me?
Can we get a timely hit tonight?
Cc: Last night.
Dear Dodgers:
You suck at bunting. Many times you can not even bunt for a proper sacrifice. So please do not attempt to try and bunt for a basehit. Brett Butler is not walking through that door.
Sadly in Love
Paul.
Can I get a hit tonight?
cc: college
@Dusty
Weaver says he ate it all.
Weaver? You brought her.
Anything shakin' around here?
Weaver? I hardly know her.
Game over.
Eh, it was a loss anyway.
I don't want any shake, Mr. C.
MC is like Shleprock.
Was Lilly just throwing BP to Lee?
Bottoms up!
Weaver still owes me taco bell.
I still owe Dusty a beer.
The universe stays balanced.
Glad to see the money I wired made it. Mr. C out on bail again.
@Paul
That's 386 beers you owe me now, taking stadium inflation into account.
cc: Sax
I still owe Paul cocaine.
Whattya know, Velez pinch hitting for Lilly wad an upgrade.
Still hitless, though.
This is Tony Jackson's fault.
Poor Dee. He needs to add a muscle or two.
Can't they just cut off swaths of Dinner's muscle tissue and graft it onto Dee Gordon?
I thought Dinner ate his muscle tissue.
What muscle? Dioner's 90% gluten.
The rest is bone mass.
Chicken bone mass.
Hey, I'm back. I saw (on tv) Lilly give up the dinger to Cliff Lee. And Trent Oeltjen come in (albeit cold and with a 0-2 count) to GiDP, squelching any chance of an eighth-inning rally. Yep, it's Dodger baseball!
9:39-9:46p: comedy genius, boys. Love it
Dee, dee, d
Kemp HR right he--
DAMMIT!!!
When did they change the movie promotion inning from the 7th to the 9th?
This has been another edition of Random Shit Josh Notices.
Have no fear, DelinO is here
Yeah, I'd like to see the Dodgers shove one up the phils butts, but I'll take a consolation badge.
Bets on Barrajas?
K wins
Well that happened
Duke is pissed.
Good night you roid-fueled maniacs.
Until next time, ladies and gents.
Shoots up!
Hey, at least me made it to 100.
What did I miss?
If MLB wouldn't have the pog-badge bit, we'd only have about 23 comments.
(cries)
As for being Schleprock, it's possible, but the Dodgers tend to suck equally when I'm here or not.
Thanks for the warm memories, Dodgers.
Dammit! Garnered a Bum badge.
Post-Game Thread *really* up (thanks, Spanky)
I thought the opposite was a sucky vacation.
@MC: Your timing coincided with Lee's HR. Hence Schleprock comment. I wouldn't waste Schleprock on mere general Dodger sulkiness.
^suckiness
