Nathan Eovaldi (1-2, 3.46) vs. Mike Minor (4-2, 4.37)
Well, Nathan, this is it. Today will be your last start of the year (given your innings limit--you're at 26.0 IP going into today's game--and the rest of the year will be bullpen work for you). Given that your last start, a loss against the Rockies, was the only time you had given up more than two ER in a game, as well as your shortest outing (not to mention the Dodgers' only loss in our last 11 games), I'm sure you have a lot of pressure to make this last outing a great start.
We'll be watching, of course; and hoping that your opponent (making his first start in ten days) doesn't get any Minor miracles today. Let's take this five-game win streak to six, Nate!

Badges working now.
First beer down the hatch.
College football is on.
Dog park filled with lots of people wearing Dodgers gear, hopeful and sticking with our Boys in Blue.
BBQ chicken on the grill tonight.
Work Blackberry buried in the back room.
Bring it on!
LA Times sports section on opening day for both local college football teams: 9 pages.
DB your dog never gies on attack mode and just start fighting with the other dogs.
Got ribeye and sausage on the grill and moms chili con queso, damn right it is going to be a good day.
@FV - That's actually what Dusty does.
Hells yeah on some chili con queso.
UCLA BISHES!
(cries)
BISHES, BISHES!
(lies)
Chile Relleno
Slow day for badges. And for the Dodgers to release their starting lineup.
Good I am away from my computer and Only started three games on gameday For those stinkin badges.
Chillin' poolside. One beer down, more to come. Chicken and carne asada marinated and waiting to be tossed on the grill for the whole fam to grub on.
Now, if only I lived here.
You is set up, Josh. I need to send Mrs Dusty out for some suppliez.

On the sofa, Eri-FUCK YOU!!!
I love how confident Sellers is at the plate despite being a rookie.
We got some good wood on some balls in the top of first. We can get to this punk.
I said wood and balls.
Touchdown, Arkansas!
Oh,wrong GT.
AJ Ellis goes Yard!
1-0 to the Blue Men Group.
Where my dawgs at?
Uggla jsut crushed that one. You knew it was a HR before he even started to swing. They should have just given him a free HR as soon as the ball left Nathan E's hand.
Well, I guess they did.
JLo drops one in along the 1B line on a broken-bat hit for a double. He continues to confound the front office and their upcoming decision on what to do with him next year.
OT: Yep, just checked. Wilson Betemit is still shite.
20-0 Hogs going into the 2nd qtr.
#WPS
@DB JLo continues to confound fans too. I had all but given up on him... Damn now what?
I had already sent him to the rendering plant.
He's a riddle, alright.
Fuck Loney! Trade the mofo.
Fuck KCAL,tambien.
woop woop! howdy yall!
Watching Duke-Richmond on ESPN 3 and Los Doyers on Gameday. I am pretty sure the Dodgers could tackle better than Duke
and Redbulls and vodkas for me tonight. OK that's it for checking in
DB what are the Hawgs' chances this year? Are they the best in the west if the LSU suspensions knock them back?
@FB
We would have had a really good shot at being right up there but lost both featured backs to injury before the season started.
Defense is solid, QB may even be better than Mallett, but might not have quite enough horses.
Dodgers on MLB.tv now - two streaming live video feeds kicking at once - this should be interesting
Sociology major? An athlete major if there ever was one
good effort, Nate, you'll be better next time
@DB you never know what kids emerge from the lower classes. If you have a good o-line, you may find someone who works
that was nasty, not sure if it was a strike
couldn't have hit it anyway
True, FB. Just don't know if that will be enough to live up to what once a couple months ago promised to be one of best seasons in awhile.
Of course, I can't complain about last season other than Ohio State cheating.
who in the east will you have to play? Do you get Bama or SC at home?
Ellis homered? Sweet. I'm becoming more and more comfortable with him and Peter Serafinowicz being our platoon catchers next year.
@Bama
Home vs Auburn
Home vs SC
@LSU
45
I'm ok with Rowdy Roddy too.
me too, Josh
I would rather lose with Rod than also probably lose with chumps like AJ Pierzynski
Completely agree with you guys re Rod.
Also want Barajas back.
Touchdown, Arkansas! 36-0.
37-0

Craig Counsell home run whaaat?
*stands up and claps for Nate*
Thank you for the last few weeks - I look forward to seeing you again next year
Hear, hear, FB!
Cousin Joe!
You guys are two peas in a pod, FB. I can see the family resemblance.
big Ks from Kenley!
@DB Sam Adams from A&M, the Seahawks and Bills is my uncle
Sellers may never be good-good, but I am fine as long as he's no Theriot or Urine
Loney gets the bunt down. Dee Gordon at second. 1 out. Let's get the go-ahead run.
IBB to Kemp. Two on.
ok time for Juan to come through again
51-7 Arkansas
cc: P Ditty, Small Sample Size
WTF was he swinging at?
That Kimbrel guy is pretty good...
Duke football, ladies and gentlemen
HCK was great last night. This should be bad...
He licks his bat after a foul ball?
Does it look to you guys like HCK has the nasty stuff again?
@DB, he had some ribs removed so he could do that
I think those ribs are on Spanky's grill about right now.
be careful Spank, they'll cook faster than you think
cmon Mac, finish this off
I am offended by the Tomahawk Chop, not because it is racially insensitive, but because it is lame
What's worse, the tomahawk chop and chant or the 7,398th time the USC band plays that little fight song after a minor play?
nasty!
lets win this in extras!
@DB - who plays their wackass song more, USC or Oklahoma? Somebody should really study that
GOD DAMMIT I jsut accidentally got a Lincecum badge. Fuck him. Just fuck him.
Blessedly I don't have to watch 12 Oklahoma games/yr so I can't say for sure.
holy moly, 2-base single for Dee!
That was sick, Dee!
Loney w 2 sac bunts - successfully!
good bunt, James
you should have been swinging, but that's not your fault
get him home, Juan!
attaboy Dee and Juan!
(makes sweet, sweet love to dee gordon)
2-1
Props to Juan! Love this guy's effort.
oh Matty
Walk-off win for Nats
(makes one down signal to outfield)
this ump is no good
It's official. I have playoff hope.
We're 2 games below .500 and 11 in our last 12 (after a win tonight). We have 12 games against the Giants and Dbacks in September and we trail the leader by 10.5 games. We also get the Nats, Pirates, and Pads in September.
Oh, and I failed to mention that we have the Cy Young and MVP on the field.
For the first time since May...I HAVE HOPE!!!
JAVY!
Big Blue rocks the house!
I don't want to say it, but what the hell is up with this team?
*crashes party*
Way to keep hope alive, Ryan!
*pours beer on Mr C's head*
yo man! Welcome to the party!
(dry humps Mr. C)
*wet humps Ryan*
There's lot of humping in this thread. Better get the PGT up fast
@Saxy, give me another minute or so, I am almost there
The pressure is off. That's what's up. Too late,mofo's.
I agree, Spank.
How did Constanza's ribs come out?
@ FB
Robs came out great. I thought Jew's don't eat pork.
PGT, pecked out on my iPhone, is up
I am with Ryan's Hope, wasn't that a, never mind. But I also agree with Spank we have guys that can only produce when the pressure is off.
Can we sweep the snakes in all six games? Can we get help and make up 5 games with 18 games left (w/o snakes six games). I hope so, lets just say I am looking at flights to Arizona baby.
$139 to fly out Wednesday, watch us clinch on the final day. Fly home the next morning to get to work, hungover, the next day. Hell yeah, I got hope.
How do I do this without my wife finding out. She is due two weeks after that Wednesday clinching game.
@Spank, George Costanza was Italian somehow, never really understood that. Fun Jews will eat pork, trust me on that
@ FB
That was the pool table episode with the Maestro when Kramer jacked up his conductor baton. I think?
@ FV
Congrats on your addition to the children of the corn.
There's some funny shit at the end of this thread. I like the recognition of "Fun Jews" as opposed to the other, what, "Boring Jews"? Interesting concept.
@FV
You can pull it off. She'll never notice a thing. Do it!
