Nathan Eovaldi (1-1, 2.05) vs. Jhoulys Chacin (10-10, 3.49).
Rookie revelation Eovaldi leads the Dodgers as they go for a Rockies sweep, but don't expect him to pitch deep into the game, as the Dodgers are closely monitoring his pitch count. Do expect 31/33 man Matt Kemp to continue being awesome, and expect James Loney to continue to cause awesome amounts of bafflement among Dodger fans.
Sax and I will be at today's game, so ping us if you want to say hi. Better yet, just shout out our names — we'll hear you.

Isn't it illegal to shout "Orel!" in a public place?
I think we're going to end up watching from home. Way too hot out there today.
Come on, dusty! I'll buy you half a beer
You guys don't even know what hot is.
I want to know what love is.
Why are you reading the "About Me" section of my profile?
That's funny, I just happened to read mr la sc's page this week
Mr la SC, why aren't you as cold as ice?
@Josh S: better yet, you should be shouting "Orel! Sax!"
(can't believe you left that for me)
Shit, it's gonna be hot.
Because it's too damn hot!
I'm going today. I gotta witness this James loney resurrection in person.
DBT resurrected! Long time no post.
Gwynn LF
Sellers SS
Kemp CF
Loney 1B

Thanks to Alex41592 at TBLA for rooting around and finding today's lineup. Why is our lineup always posted so late compared to other teams?
Danny Valenica single gives me this punks' pogbadge. Who?
Yup it's been a while!
Donnie Baseball just took Ether to the woodshed over his comments to Simers.
Was there a pregame interview? What did he say?
@FB
Yes.
He said he considered 'Dre coming out like that in the press as questioning his (Donnie B) integrity, and that of the trainers, and of the organization. He said he'd never send someone out there if it meant they could do further damage to their body, and that he'd rather lose his job than do that in order to win or to bow to front office wishes. He was pretty steamed.
Zack Greinke pogbadge achieved. Not the best depiction of Zack's tiny head.
On the sofa, Vinny!
Wow, and Dre's not in the lineup. Time to talk this one out. I like the attitude. Let's see how Donnie handles it and if he can fix it
Donnie don't take shit from no one.
heh I tuned in just in time to see A-Rod ground into a game ending double play while representing the tying run
Agree re Donnie.
@FB - HAH! You're having a great sports weekend.
Blake DeWitt just doubled against Greinke.
(cries)
And I just switched back to the In Living Color marathon on VH1
I'm not sure which commercial I hate more: The racist/stereotyped Metro PCS one or the El Pollo Loco one they're running locally now. I want to punch a nun when I see these.
people still wear g-unit shirts? Should I break out my Wu-Wear?
Good fucking lord, I love Arian Foster.
http://bit.ly/rmtGAJ
Throw strikes, Nate
@FB
Is there any question that you shouldn't break out any Wu-Wear you may have?
#36Chambers
I think the game plan is for Nate to throw balls.
I can't make out a single word in that El Pollo Loco commercial.
Shit. I've been badge slacking this weekend.
I'm going to cry if I get a Trayvon Robinson pogbadge today.
Throw pitches they can't foul, Nate!
@Josh
That guy in the commercial singing to the other guy's crotch area about (presumably, but I can't understand the words, either) chicken is particularly unnerving when the sound is muted.
Per Vin, foul balls, thus high pitch counts, are "the silent enemy."
I do have a good Raekwon Cuban Linx shirt
not unlike firecrackers, the silent killer
I just found a Wu Tang name generator online.
Is RBN in hiding after that Arsenal hiding this morning?
Good try from Gwynn.
45
crap
If that was to end the game, he would have caught that
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Things are deovalding quickly.
Per Patrick O'Neal, "Spoke with Ethier. Knee checked out the same and he's available and will continue to play and expects to start tmw"
Which leads me to think I was right in the first place to question 'Dre on this. He's playing this drama queen, chip on the shoulder shit again, and Simers was too happy to enable him.
Call me Bilious Bad Janitah
I don't think someone of Simers' species can experience happiness.
Eovaldi's going to hit his pitch limit in the second inning.
good lord what was that?
Dre would have limped to pick that one up
yeesh
Here's Tony Jackson's take on 'Dre:
http://tinyurl.com/3fgrwbr
let's get two runs back
that's a nice start!
TGJr standing triple!
Got one back! Right on, boys!
right on, there's one
from the article, what does this mean: "the condition from which he is suffering is one in which a loose piece of skin inside his knee often gets trapped beneath his kneecap, causing pain"?
Dodgers just announced that Jaime Jarrin is returning to voice the Dodgers Spanish game calling next season. Another one of the best.
cmon, Aaron, just a single
or take the walk and let Rod fly out
I just realized I haven't taken in a game from the LFP yet this season. I need to fix that soon.
Trayvon is now batting for the Mariners.
If you lose, no beer?
If you win, only one beer?
[relating to the story Vin is telling]
And he grounds out 3-1.
Campy: "Ice that beer!"
That should be a new SoSG battle cry.
nice work, Nate
Let's get two runs back
that wasn't strike 3 on Carroll? That's a "It's hot as fuck out here in this umpire gear" call.
I feel uncomfortable hearing Vin say "Hello Kitty"
way to work the walk, Nate
@FB
Mrs Dusty just turned to me and asked if Vin didn't say "Hell Kitty" a little strangely, like a child molester might.
nice work, Nate.
Damn, if Trent had just made that catch in the first...
Hey mrs. Baker watch your mouth.
Hell Kitty? Isn't that like Catbert?
get him home, Matty!
cmon Matty, take your time with this chump
"Hello Kitty" and "Beast Mode" from Vin today
@DB - it definitely sounded odd, maybe a "I can't believe I have to read these crappy promotion pieces" tone
attaboy, FJ!
Now let's get him home!
JLo continues to wear out the Rockies.
cc: Karina
take a pitch, Rod
Bases loaded two out tied at one bottom of sixth LLWS
My patience grows thin for these truck and beer commercials with a gruff, deep-throated cowboy type telling me in need to purchase certain products. It makes me far less likely to do so. For those who are attracted to this marketing, methinks they are probably already drinking Coors Light and driving Chevrolet trucks.
That's a wrap. U.S. wins.
I thought THIS game was the LLWS.
#MSBs #Miles #Carroll
Vinny announcing Jarrin coming back. Strong.
So, to recap, things mentioned by Vin today:
-Beast Mode
-Hello Kitty
-Star Wars
-Beer
-Mexcellence
@DB 2:22
Karina can't hear you. She's still shooting that movie where James Boney is wearing out some girl's Rockies.
I mention four of those five on a daily basis myself.
"Dick Honeybutt"
I just said a bunch of rude stuff about US beating Japan in the LLWS. Which prompted Mrs Dusty to ponder the rudest thing I've said all year. Lots of material there to consider. "Suck it, Marta!" was one of my fans this year (calendar, not fiscal).
get it down, Nate
Andre Ethier is the new Mike Marshall(not the pitcher).
100!
Damm Cargo
Fuck you Carlos Gonzalez! I want someone to stick a plunger up your ass sideways. Asshole.
damndamndamn
DAMMIT!
eat a D sandwich
BOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sit down,Culo!
Culo...wish I would have thought of that a long time ago.
balls
We ain't winning this one.
I blame that run on Dre's knee.
[insert postive, keep-the-faith comment here]
cc: Karina
7-2
[insert profane, reality-based comment here]
cc: self
I had faith until Gonzalez's catch
this is the last time I say CarGo. I choose not to call him by his dumb nickname
Men at Work.
Suck it Marta!
Dylan Hernandez just Tweeted the Jarrin news, which is about 90 minutes after everyone else on earth had received it.
I'm out this bitch!
Dylan. Lol
We still have four more innings of this shite?
GS Velez, right here
I'm too cynical to point out the rancho here.
the double play would have been more appropriate
That is the best possible outcome for a Velez AB, a non-hit non-DP RBI
1-28 w/ an RBI for Velez. He's starting to pick up!
Eugenio-for-28
7-4. We're whittling away.
(I know non-DP RBI is redundant)
stop teasing us!!!
That Velez shot was not a hit
Yep, not a hit. Fielder's Choice at least plus the throw pulled 1Boff the bag.
heh "down and dirty"
We still have three more innings of this shite?
Matty steals another
Let's call this one 2-0.
We still in this!
1-0!
Don't fuck it up, McDougal.
goddamn Astros bullpen
I can't believe I would ever miss Dre playing in right field
good inning, Mac
is Dre available to pinch hit here?
Cmon Casey!
rally cap time boys
@OZ
All set on the trash can icons. Thanks for that!
145
146
@Dusty
adobe illustrator is a beautiful thing
a win today would be even better
OK now let's give up 2 runs to kill any hope we have
Kemp, Loney, and Miles to get this thing won.
Stros bullpen finally comes though, Gnats lose another game in the standings to the Snakes
DAMMIT!
wow it is mega empty at the stadium right now
Some juvenile ABs in this last inning. Look at a team like Yankmes or Red Sox and how they'd handle ABs in this situation. We look like amateurs.
what a tease
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZE is the answer.
Where should Sellers play next year? Is there even a place for him on the roster?
Dee at SS
Gotta figure they will resign Miles because he's so gritty and cheap.
Would Ackbar be too expensive to resign?
Casey will be gone and Sellers can play 3rd I think, but I'd rather have a real 3B there
@FB
He should get some looks at second next season after battling Gordon for SS. Miles would revert to more of the role originally envisioned, which was to fill in, be gritty and MSB, etc.
Loney is that good looking girl that could be hot. Just when I give up on her she shows up looking smoking hot. Then I start to warm up to her she gets nasty.
I wish I could say I was bummed about the game, but I spent the end of it floating in a pool with a Sam Adams Octoberfest in hand and now I have a G&T being fixed for me.
Cc: DB
Hmm octoberfest hmmm
please look for our flare gun
Orel and I are too dehydrated to move from our field-evel seats, we're still stuck (to the seat) here
You're living the Dusty dream, Josh!
(turns hose on)
Andruw Jones pogbadge
(cries)
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I ain't saying James Loney has manifested himself into the slugger we all thought he would someday be, but he looks like a changed hitter in the box. I don't know what to make of it... He actually likes a hitter!!!
When I coached my daughters team last year I used to psych the girls up and tell them "c'mon look like a hitter!" it always worked, their confidence would skyrocket.
post-game thread up
i am still really dehydrated
