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.
Chad Billingsley (10-10, 4.07) vs. Kevin Millwood (1-1, 4.50).
It's a duel of evenly-balanced starting pitchers! And though it might not be Shazam Captain Marvel vs. Superman, this still could be an entertaining matchup underneath the hot, hot afternoon sun. Should the Dodgers win, they would lay claim to third place in the division, along with the Rockies, as well as their fifth victory in a row. Let's see if Bills can conquer Mills.

30/30 for Kemp and Vin is coming back! I could get hit by a bus today, and the weekend would still be excellent!
I forgot it was a day game. Yes!
On the sofa, Eric Karros!
Great reference, Sax!
Made my way to a bar to watch the game and its blacked out. Eff you, MLB!
*consoles self with another beer*
@Jason
If you black out at the bar, will you then be able to see the blacked-out telecast?
ps- It's on regular FOX network.
I get Detroit/Minnesota.
Miles 4
Loney 3
Kemp 8
Rivera 7
Ethier 9
Blake 5
Ellis 2
Carroll 6
Billingsley 1
*tests Dusty's blackout theory*
I've checked the science, Jason. It's solid.
Climbed out of my beer long enough to check and I'm getting Detroit/Minnesota like the Czar.
"In play, out(s)" is the bane of my existence today.
Im not getting Detroit/Minny!
0-0 after one
Hey, Moneyball's coming out in less than a month.
Bills having a lot of control problems
Ball ricochets off the first base bag for a double. Booooooo
Sometimes I miss when Jonah Hill was the Dodgers GM.
I know it's hot and people aren't sitting in the front of the sections... But really, there's nobody there.
Bills at 41 pitches. He's had four full counts
Chad got very lucky on that K
To be fair, he had a called strike 3 two pitches prior
"In play, out(s)" works to my favor. Hooray!
I don't recall DePo being that fat. Or having the name "Peter Brand."
Fack!
Eric Karros would give the Cy Young to Kershaw and the MVP to Matt Kemp.
I love his bias!
Pretty curve by Bills there
Bills is letting this get away
4-0 Rox
@Sax
Are you referring to his left thigh?
Home from my kid's party and halfway into a Ranger IPA.
Anyone know who this is calling the game with EK? Voice doesn't sound familiar.
Rivera had a nice catch and put out there, even if Miles missed the tag
Ethier sucked there on that weak-ass K
Oeltjen, with pitchers mound power there
Miles is one hairy Frodo
@Josh S: they keep showing the announcer's name but I don't know who it is. I think he has a lot of Os in his last name
May be time for me to fire up the Modern Warfare 2 here
Love Jim Tracy's face after that play
4-1
Wait 4-2
Wait kemp is stupidly thrown out at third by a mile
Wait kemp is safe! Wow!
Wallach, that was a really bad call to send Ethier
Ethier out at home for the second straight game
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?
Woooooooooooooooooooo.
If AJ can score Blake... Wait they just HBP Ellis.
If Blake can just score, Bills can get the win!
Bills' win is in the hands of Ackbar
ACKBAR!!!!
Who are these a-holes that keep coming up with big innings?
Five runs in the frame
Wow
Tracy making the walk out
Tracy interrupting in the middle of Oeltjen's AB and calling to the pen
Finished my first Sapporo
5-4 Dodgers end of six
Wow, GameDay is about twenty minutes late. Must be Hurricane Irene
Oh
No
It's
Kuo
We are going to need more than five runs
Fuck that was a bad toss to Kuo, FJL
Cargo with a leadoff bunt single
Kuo is so fucking bad right now, it hurts
Why the fuck are we pitching Kuo this year???
Kuo is awful
Way to quiet the crowd Hunchy
Kuo had better get Helton out
K on helton
FJL needs a HR here
6-5 Rox
Baaaaaad K there for Loney
Here comesHuston Street
How about this tradition, Fox:
Buck-less Saturdays
Let's see how Kemp does here
0-2 count on Kemp
Kemp strokes a single to center
Kemp stranded by Rivera. Boo
You know, these Ford commercials where they show the owners being interviewed by press corps is really unnerving. Makes me want to not buy a ford.
*pees*
@Sax
I hope that's not the nay thing holding you back from buying a Ford.
What is your favorite Japanese beer, Sax?
cc: Jason
On to the Dogfish Head 60 Minute to get through the 8th and 9th. Kid still asleep.
This game is slooooow.
Why don't' we just start a Weekend Booze Thread on Facebook and report that booze news on that thread?
Cuz these are beers consumed during a game thread, natch.
BOOOOOOOOOOOO
@Dusty
All of them at some point or another. But, for me, when it's relaxing time, it's Suntory time.
Suntory on you, then!
Light-hitting, light-running James Fucking Loney up in dis bish!!! Tie game.
cc: Jim Peltz
Wuzzat?
Long ass game threatening to get longer.
Free baseball!
Nice one, Juanito.
Giambino sighting!
Sax was very prophetic at 4:11!
Had to check on my badge total: I have two badges, bitches!
One of them is for Javy's strikeout in the 10th. The other is for Opening Day
Time for Dre to make up for his two recent outs at home
I have that Opening Day badge, too, FB.
Have no idea how, given that I was at the game and had no computer access.
wwop we got something cookin!
woop, not an antiquated racist comment
@DB they could sense you were there
@FB
I could sense very little that day.
cmon, kid! Let's go home!
Loney will make one great Rocky.
I sure wish Karina weren't out making a porno so she could chime in with a rancho ardiendo comment.
that was very boring, Aaron
Well, that happened.
BOOOOOOOO!
She's been gone a while. They've probably finished 2500-3000 movies in that time
Stoopid Loney, make long baseball game longer.
Look forward to seeing that whole series of Venezuelan jungle porn.
100
The ump left "dehydrated" in the third? Dusty did you take him out drinking last night?
If I would have taken him out drinking last night, he would have just now showed up in the 11th wet, broke, and confused.
Attaboy, Mac
and I bet he would be calling a few more strikes in our favor too
MATTTTTYYY!!
i love you!!!
Get your dry hump on!
MATT GOD DAMNED KEMP UP IN DIS BISH!!!
We're not worthy!
Hey, we win!
Yeah!!!
KemVP!
ubragg! He's alive!
A win so unexpected, ubragg makes an appearance!
Did Will Shortz finally put down his whip, ubragg?
I just had a feeling today... saw we were down one in the 9th and joined in time to see Loney tie it.
Also got my first badge today! FB, you have me by 1.
Holy shit! Matt Kemp!!!! <3 <3 <3
gross gross gross!! just watched the replay of the dry hump and it was Eugenio Velez who was delivering the humpin! That asshole better not have rubbed his terrible mojo on Matty. And by mojo, I mean his 0-for-27 wiener
^Snap!
Bang bang
Wait a minute, Sax's post refers to Captain Marvel as Shazam! I take back my post about the great reference!
SHAME. SHAME, I SAY.
Oh, fuck. You DC guys are pains in the ass.
That's like calling John McClain "Die Hard."
*McClane
I thought Shaq was Shazam.
And I thought McCourt was Die Hard
If you didn't have so many fucking parallel earths, this wouldn't be a problem
If Woody had gone to the police, this would never have happened
Oh yeah, because Marvel has no alternate universes.
*cough, Ultimate Marvel, cough*
Are the Fawcett characters from earth-736, or earth-283? I always get mixed up.
Earth-616, what the hell is that?
Hmm, good point.
616? I think that's the UP of Michigan. Another world indeed.
Whoops, sorry for the delay. PGT up.
mr la sc: edited the post based on your catch. thanks
