Game 143 Thread Take 2: Sept 9 @ Giants, 7p

Clayton Kershaw (17-5, 2.45) vs. Timmah Lincecum (12-12, 2.75).

The Minotaur suits up against the long-haired pothead for the third time this year, having bested Lincecum on the two prior occasions (Opening Day and July 20). However, both games were complete pitchers' duels decided by a single run (1-0 and 2-1). Will good things come in threes for Kershaw? If he wants to end the year with an even 20 wins, Kershaw will need to win in three of (what will likely be only) four more starts. We're pulling for you, Kershaw!

MR.F said...

I will be at this game.

Kyle Baker said...

Please yell at Timmeh for me, Fanerman!

Kyle Baker said...

ps- Wash yer hair, Timmeh!

Jason said...

Be sure to buy Tony Gwynn, Jr. plenty of drinks, Mr. F.

Steve Sax said...

I suppose to be fully accurate, for the top picture, good things come in sixes.

Kyle Baker said...

Make this game start already. I'm getting antsy.

spank said...

killKillKILL!!

Josh S. said...

Where did you get that middle pic of Miles, Carroll, and Sellers?

Kyle Baker said...

We have Gwynn and Gordon as MSBs, too.

Orlando Zepeda said...

I will also be at this game

Kyle Baker said...

@OZ

Tell Fanerman to wash his hair, too!

Orlando Zepeda said...

i sit behind the home dugout, I can yell many things.

Kyle Baker said...

I sit on my sofa; I can yell many things.

Steve Sax said...

Oz and fanerman: take a picture of you both at the game and send it to us, and we will post it!

Go Dodgers!

spank said...

I like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

Kyle Baker said...

I like being spanked.

Josh S. said...

Having a Guys Night In with my kid, Vinny!

Kyle Baker said...

On the sofa, Vinny!

Paul said...

I just drove thru the entire county of Los Angeles and now find out you'all will partying to tomorrow!!

Damn!!!!

On the crack pipe,Vinny!

spank said...

Fuck Timmeh with a broomstick!

Josh S. said...

BOOOOOOO!!!!!!

GET ON WITH IT!

Nostradamus said...

Let's do this thing.

Kyle Baker said...

Let's work some counts.

Jason said...

@Dusty 5:04

Gwynn is actually taller than he looks. And has a hollow leg, apparently.

Josh S. said...

Way to make him work, idjits.

Kyle Baker said...

@ Jason

Maybe I'm deceived by his being called Jr.

Nostradamus said...

Who is this new two-first-name fool?

Josh S. said...

I have a bad feeling about this.

Jason said...

I have a drunk feeling about this

(warms up liver for tomorrow)

Kyle Baker said...

Good to see Sands out there again.

Kyle Baker said...

Mrs Dusty best get her ass home with beer ASAP or I'mma get really grumpy.

Nostradamus said...

@DB

That, and the fact that he ways as much as one of his pop's love handles.

Nostradamus said...

I have a good feeling about getting drunk.

Josh S. said...

Ways?

Josh S. said...

Shitty shit shit.

Nostradamus said...

I'm gonna put myself in the corner for that one.

I feel so ashamed...

Nostradamus said...

My brain is still buffering for the weekend.

NicJ said...

Went to highschool with Pill.

Weird seeing him on tv.

Nostradamus said...

OK, time to pull this shit together.

Nostradamus said...

I don't care much for Cody Ross.

Kyle Baker said...

Kershaw is on 78 pitches already.

Josh S. said...

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!'nnnm

Kyle Baker said...

I would be getting a lot more excited about that acrobatic catch Gordon had for the third out if he hadn't committed an error earlier to screw up the whole inning.

spank said...

That is why you gotta love Dee Gordon. He may fuck up but he picks himself up like a man.

Great play,mutt.

Nostradamus said...

Staunched the bleeding.

Kyle Baker said...

That's what we like about you, too, Spank.

Josh S. said...

There's the plate discipline we should have seen in the 1st.

Nostradamus said...

Shit, that could be the parenthetical title of this blog.

spank said...

Booooooooo!

Nostradamus said...

That'll do.

spank said...

I'm calling a homerun here.

Nostradamus said...

Damn...

Kyle Baker said...

Sellers may be young and naive enough just to make something happen here.

Kyle Baker said...

Damn, almost got all of that one.

Nostradamus said...

Well, that's disappointing.

Kyle Baker said...

Here's a way not to get me to want to go to a horse racing track: play country music during the commercial.

Nostradamus said...

I don't think we're the target demographic.

Nostradamus said...

Clayton seems to have found his groove now.

Kyle Baker said...

Clayton got his groove back.

Kyle Baker said...

@Mr C

Yeah, but why do they target white trash demographic instead of a different one with more disposable income?

Nostradamus said...

@DB

Economy of scale.

Nostradamus said...

Works for Trucknutz, anyway.

Kyle Baker said...

Do your job, MSB!

Nostradamus said...

Look here!

Nostradamus said...

Nope.

Nostradamus said...

Don't blow it.

Kyle Baker said...

You all know I'm a NL man. But god dammit, a huge difference i see b/t NL and AL is a consistent ability by AL teams to advance runners/convert runs with men in scoring position and no or only one outs. So fucking frustrating.

Nostradamus said...

That's depressing.

Josh S. said...

I will now get as wasted as the Dodgers' opportunities.

Josh S. said...

Two of the Giants' rookie callups this year share names with objects you should keep away from a suicidal person.

Kyle Baker said...

I just want to make fun of people's names.

spank said...

The 9/11 bullshit is starting.

Kyle Baker said...

I'm not going to punctuate correctly tonight, too just because I can.

Kyle Baker said...

God damn the 9/11 bullshit. Why didn't I book a trip to a far-flung country that doesn't give a shit?

spank said...

No one remembers the day Timmeh McVeigh bombed that shit.

Josh S. said...

I'm waiting until next week, so I can commemorate the 5 year anniversary of 9/18/06.

Kyle Baker said...

Charge the mound and cut Timmeh's hair, Sellers!

spank said...

Are the dodgers going to get a warning so they won't hurt the precious Gnats with a retaliation?

Kyle Baker said...

Exactly, Spank.

#RedneckPieceofShit

spank said...

Goddamn HD looks fucking great!

spank said...

Looks like the Dodgers fielded the seven dwarfs.

Kyle Baker said...

Those aren't dwarfs, they're Hobbits.

spank said...

Bochy just picked his ears and ate the wax.

Kyle Baker said...

Are those Gnats shirts polyester or what?

ps- Throw at Timmeh's face!

Kyle Baker said...

Or just make him look like a little bitch striking out.

Josh S. said...

TIMMEH INTERRUPTED VIN!

EXECUTE HIM!

Kyle Baker said...

^I just Tweeted something like that, Josh

Josh S. said...

Why the hell are they pressing?

spank said...

100!

Cc:Karina

Kyle Baker said...

Run up and hit Timmeh in the face with your bat, Jerry!

spank said...

I thought Sands was supposed to be great?

BOOOOOOOOOOO!

spank said...

Can we get some runs up in dis bish or what?!

Kyle Baker said...

If we don't get some runs, I'm going to have the runs.

spank said...

Fanerman's a pimp.

Kyle Baker said...

Vin just called Timmy, Timmy.

Kyle Baker said...

They ought to put "Fanerman's a pimp" on the Goodyear Blimp.

#IceCube

spank said...

Those orange Gnat uni's are almost as horrid as the Dodgers green baseball caps.

Kyle Baker said...

GOD DAMMIT

(drinks)

Paul said...

He is throwing a Shutout!! That jinx should work for any occasion right?

spank said...

6 more outs left to score no runs except for Dusty's toilet.

Paul said...

Panda can eat too much with either hand!

Paul said...

I can drink too much with either hand.

Nostradamus said...

Why do we suck again?

Paul said...

This is when we unsuck and take the lead.

Nostradamus said...

Show a little fucking patience, damn it!

Paul said...

Or maybe not...

Kyle Baker said...

Come on, Blue! Unsuck!

Nostradamus said...

(The team. I know better than to expect that of us.)

Paul said...

We have a hit!

spank said...

I love it when Vin say's little dribbler. Squibber, tambien.

Nostradamus said...

Matt Kemp does not suck.

Paul said...

Cut his hair off with your speed Matty!!

Josh S. said...

Velez would kill for a hit like that.

Paul said...

Fuck yeah bitch!!!

Nostradamus said...

I will have another of those, please.

Paul said...

I think Velez can only attempt to kill.

spank said...

Get a hit,Frodo!

Paul said...

That hit was kind of a droopler.

spank said...

I'm thinking Tony Gwynn should be standing on third base right now.

Josh S. said...

Yes! Leave him in until his arm falls off!

spank said...

Make me a believer,Mutt!

#sands

Paul said...

Come on Jerry. Get a hit for Spanky!!

Nostradamus said...

Be a man, Jerry!

Paul said...

They don't throw like that in the PCL.

spank said...

fuck

Nostradamus said...

Well, at least we got the one.

Jason said...

I'm triple fisting booze until the Dodgers win.

cc: my liver

Josh S. said...

Eugenio Sands.

Josh S. said...

It can be devil jumping time now?

Kyle Baker said...

Up jumps Dusty!*

*To get another beer

Nostradamus said...

God damn, I haven't been nervous about a baseball game in months.

I miss it.

Josh S. said...

FUCK YOUR ANKLE!

Jason said...

Injured with one step? Must be wearing Halloween Orange.

spank said...

I bet Loney bats at the top of the inning. Fucker.

Pistol Pete Reiser said...

Omg the gnats fans here are positively beside themselves after we tied it. Much polite trash-talking, though they've been mysteriously quiet the past 10 minutes now.
Go blue!!!!! (from down 1st base line halfway up on field level)

spank said...

PPR!

Kyle Baker said...

Represent, PPR!

Nostradamus said...

Strong reader presence in enemy territory tonight.

Josh S. said...

THREE Sons readers in the house? We HAVE to win now!

Nostradamus said...

Put this li'l bitch out of his misery.

Nostradamus said...

Satisfactory.

spank said...

Kershaw just gave me a woody.

Kyle Baker said...

As long as Timmeh doesn't get the win, I'm vaguely happy.

Kyle Baker said...

Kershaw just gave me a buzz lightyear, Spank.

Josh S. said...

If Spank's woody had gone to the police, this never would have happened.

Kyle Baker said...

Single Rod!

Nostradamus said...

Rod!

Josh S. said...

Sorry to correct you, oh mighty Vin, but Kershaw can still get a win.

Kyle Baker said...

Beautiful bunt, Sellers.

spank said...

Small ball. Literally.

Jason said...

There is an anatomically correct Ken doll joke in there somewhere.

Pistol Pete Reiser said...

Velez got on base (kinda)

Kyle Baker said...

I thought the same thing, Josh, then I just figured I was an idiot and that Vin was right.

spank said...

I've got an urge for halloween peanut butter candy.

Kyle Baker said...

SAFE!!!!!!

spank said...

FUCK YOU GNATS!!

hahahahahahahahahaha

Nostradamus said...

W00t!!!

Josh S. said...

YESSSSSSSS.

Velez now only 99.9999999% worthless.

Kyle Baker said...

Props to Velez. You made that run happen. Credit where it's due.

Kyle Baker said...

DAMMIT!

Pistol Pete Reiser said...

Thanks for playing, gnats! You've caved yet another season to us. Smiling ear to ear!

Nostradamus said...

That's why they call him a 1-tool player

spank said...

I'm getting a fresh brew for thew bottom of the ninth. Let's finish this.

Nostradamus said...

Time to end this.

Josh S. said...

Table setters aren't setting the table tonight.

COME ON, JAVY!

Josh S. said...

Can't I just call him a tool?

Nostradamus said...

I'll allow it.

Kyle Baker said...

What were the umps sweat in' Javy about?

I will cut them.

Nostradamus said...

Quickly 1 down.

Nostradamus said...

Uno mas.

Pistol Pete Reiser said...

2

spank said...

Why am I all pumped up? Oh that's right. FUCK THE GNATS!

Nostradamus said...

They're not giving him the corners, it seems.

Josh S. said...

Vin said the Giants "didn't repeat." I love this man.

WE WIN!

spank said...

I'm a happy man.

Nostradamus said...

Now, we make PARTY!

Pistol Pete Reiser said...

Good night!

I love this game.

Nostradamus said...

For fear of jinx, I won't declare the Giant's season over, but it's basically over.

Jason said...

Making one game under .500 party.

Three times.

Jason said...

See you fellows tomorrow!

Josh S. said...

Whatever the result of tomorrow's game, we're toasting the shit out of this one at the fest tomorrow.

Nostradamus said...

I'll drink to that.

Kyle Baker said...

You said a mouthful there, Josh. This one needs to linger.

Josh S. said...

Eugie! LOL

Kyle Baker said...

"Javy's not making me nervous" - Kid K

spank said...

Someone needs to crop dust Kershaw's beard with herbicide.

Nostradamus said...

Angels win, but Yanks lose.

I call that a wash.

Kyle Baker said...

Mathematically, could both the Angels and Yankmes both lose? I'm trying to do the math.

Josh S. said...

That's one hell of a scrap heap duel tomorrow.

Nostradamus said...

@DB

That's the beauty of it. There's always a bright side.

Fred's Brim said...

*dances*
*sips 40*
*daps homies*

This was a good win

Kyle Baker said...

Damn skippy it was, FB. Respect your late-night post.

Jason said...

210

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Awesome victory. Just like I anticipated it would go down after the fourth inning.

Kyle Baker said...

I predicted Aubrey Huff would go down on Barry Zito in the 4th inning.

spank said...

Just like Rick Perry.

Kyle Baker said...

Still on the sofa, Vinny!
