Game 128 Thread: August 23 @ Cards, 5p

Clayton Kershaw (15-5, 2.60) vs. Kyle Lohse (11-7, 3.33).

Boy, the Cardinals must be ticked. They need to gain ground on the Brewers, and who else comes rolling into down but the slow, fat Dodgers? Easy pickins. But Tony La Russa brings in about three relievers too many and the Dodgers escape with a 2-1 victory. And today they start Cy Young candidate Clayton Kershaw. Are the Dodgers in danger of winning a series in St. Louis?

What's the extra s for, MLAAC?

Nostradamus said...

Can I get that to-go?

Paul said...

I wish Sellers first name was Tom.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I am the czar of all assassins.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Wait...

DAMMIT.

Josh S. said...

The czar of typos.

spank said...

Niekro can't even spell right.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Bang.

MR.F said...

Haha.

MR.F said...

I thought the extra S was for "SSTFU or I will kill you."

Neeebs (The Original) said...

I don't see anything wrong with three consecutive letters in a name.

Josh S. said...

You wooouldn't.

QuadSevens said...

I'd prefer quad S's.

Fernie V said...

I guess I should give up hope. AJ Ellis is trying out for next year.

Josh S. said...

Philosophical differences? Best DFA reasoning EVER.

"My philosophy is 'Don't be terrible' and Dioner and I just couldn't see eye to eye on that."

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Navarro: I should be starting everyday.
Mattingly: You suck. Be thankful that the other catcher on the team sucks too; otherwise you'd be on the bench everyday.
Navarro: I don't suck!
Mattingly: Why don't you get your ass out of here?
Navarro: I have a medical condition!

this game is a "free" game on Kcal MLB Tv for those of you out of the area.

MR.F said...

HAWT HAWT HAWT

MR.F said...

5-0!

MR.F said...

7-0! Go team!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Oh, it looks good!

Josh S. said...

So, Dioner was an albatross?

Jason said...

Kershaw 8K badge unlocked. I actually had to double check the box score because that didn't sound totally out of the realm of possibilities despite it only being 10 outs into the game. Alas, the badge system wrong. For now.

Jason said...

It's a homer-fest.

Kyle Baker said...

What the FUCK is going on???

11-0

Steve Sax said...

11-0! Wow

Kyle Baker said...

Dinner got DFA'd?

(I've been out of baseball loop all day.)

Kyle Baker said...

KKKKKKK

Kyle Baker said...

I'm not going to get that coveted Kyle Lohse badge tonight, am I?

Steve Sax said...

You're a lohser baby

So why don't you kill me

Kyle Baker said...

Bang!

Kyle Baker said...

Check that..I actually already had a Lohse pogbadge. I'll trade it with someone...

spank said...

Tea and cookies anyone?

Kyle Baker said...

I'd like some tea.

Kyle Baker said...

Shards: shit-tea

Kyle Baker said...

Hawksworth is going to blow the 11-run lead, isn't he?

Kyle Baker said...

Was anyone else listening to the radio broadcast tonight? Monday and Steiner went on for about 20 minutes about Whitey Herzog. I nearly ran my car off a bridge. Oh my god, why don't they just fucking start a radio station and talk about Whitey Herzog on that station?

Kyle Baker said...

We're winning, BTW, people. Come back to the GT!

Kyle Baker said...

45

Kyle Baker said...

Skip Schumaker pitching!

DodgersKingsoftheGalaxy said...

Assassins Czar, curious why you like the Saints.
Usually it goes Rams, Raiders, Chargers, 49ers or some type of bandwagonning like the Steelers...

Josh S. said...

I'm just mad they threw Dotel at us and we didn't score 11 more.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hey, we're the team that's supposed to send the light-hitting infielder to pitch when the bullpen's exhausted!

Kyle Baker said...

Aaron Miles is going to take one out of here now.

Josh S. said...

Hilarity.

Kyle Baker said...

Miles tied with Steve Lyons for all time HRs (19).

Kyle Baker said...

Hilarity, not at our expense!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Happy retirement, Tony.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@DK323 - I like the Saints because I once played a round of golf with Tom Benson.

DodgersKingsoftheGalaxy said...

Seriously, thanks for reminding me, not only is it obvious the guy doesn't know much about baseball........but he was never any good as a player so how did he get this gig? Then with those insensitive comments he's made in the past how did he stick around? There are a lot of people asleep at the wheel in this franchise. Do any of them listen to the away games and cringe at these guys? I heard Lyons is only who he is because he dropped his pants during a game back in the day....

Kyle Baker said...

ERA 11.02 for Kuo. So worthy of a bobblehead!

Steve Sax said...

post-game thread UP

DodgersKingsoftheGalaxy said...

A few weeks ago i could have gotten $5 for my Kuo bobble......now i don't even see 1 big on ebay for them..maybe i can give it away at the protest?
