Clayton Kershaw (18-5, 2.36) vs. Daniel Hudson (16-9. 3.41).
Dodgers versus Diamondbacks. Los Angeles versus Arizona. Cy Young candidate Kershaw versus probable playoff pitcher Hudson. Who do you think Josh Rawitch is rooting for? Although we've enjoyed watching the D'backs beating the Giants to lead the NL West, that pleasure comes in a distant second to Kershaw bolstering his Cy Young chances. So...C-Ya later, Snakes.
P.S.: Clayton, please don't throw at O'Parra. Ain't worth it.

(There! Finally!)
Rawitch and I are gonna paint the town red when he gets here.
Getting ready to embark on the Ravine. First a pit stop at the Bonaventure Brewing Co.
Let's Go Blue!
let's go, clayton
Rawbitches!
I imagine Mark Grace is really amped up for this game. LIKE REALLY EXCITED! THIS IS BASEBALL!
BYAAAAHHH!
Dodgers Live raised a good point about next year's interleague schedule: They'll all be Vin games!
On the couch with a pizza in the oven Vin!
...and an Octoberfest in my hand.
on the couch, watching on RE@L TV, Vinny!
shorten that swing, Dee!
attaboy Dee!
exclamation point!
Dee should bunt every time
and so should Tony Gwynn Jr!
Since nobody else posted it, I will:
@skinnyswag9 6
Gwynn 7
@TheRealMattKemp 8
@JamesLoney_7 3
Miles 5
Sands 9
Barajas 2
Carroll 4
Kershaw 1
Twitter edition.
i have no idea why he didn't throw the ball
Ducks on the pond for Kemp!
thanks Q7!
#BOOOOOOOOOOOO!
shit - double steal didn't work so good
safe?
huh?
cram it up your ass, Parra!!
What the!? He was hosed!
#Suck it,Parra!
Gordon killing my fantasy team... I needed that SB
and attaboy Matty! too bad Dee wasn't still on base
Cmon, Aaron, just a single
Looked like Gorden and Gwynn were arguing about that double steal.
let's go Jerry, keep the good feeling going
Gwynn teaching Dee about leads and jumps? I wonder if he missed the sign or something. I am sure Lopes will have something to say
"The Kid" needs to get a hit.
this ump is calling low strikes
I thought that too FB. Missed sign is a possibility.
yeah!!!
JERRY! JERRY!
Run scoring single under the shortstop!
2-0
Steven Drew would have gotten to that
There you go, Sands. I thought Sands was a local boy?
do it again, Rod!
Does anybody else use the blogger mobile version in non-mobile situations, ie on your laptop? I like that the comment box is at the bottom of the page and that it sends you automatically to the bottom where the latest comments are
Rod grounds out and my pizza is ready.
No, but that's a good idea.
I shudder a little when the Dodgers Live commercial shows Broxton running out of the bullpen
@Q7 what's on your pie?
Clayton was nice and relaxed on that bunt
Thanks for that blogger tip FB.
Epale, y'all!
@Q7 Don't answer that until you are ready. I would never intentionally interrupt someone's pizza enjoyment
Pepperoni DiGiorno.
@FB
You're not shuddering. The seismic waves are just reaching you now.
No prob FB. It's cooling now.
sure think, Spanx!
Damn, Kid K is working fast!
Mr C!
right on, Jamey
USC night tomorrow! Fans in attendance receive a red and gold hat and a 3-year ban from bowl games!
nice bunt, Clayton
That's two years, FB.
Sax finally checking in here
Correction: pepperoni and tapatio on my pizza.
holy crow, he's fast
can he hit with a softer bat so his grounders get to the infielders more slowly?
sorry, MLASC
Saxamaphone!
O'Parra due up this inning.
DiGiorno doesn't qualify but the crappier at-home pizzas (Red Baron, Totinos, etc) should come with a packet of hot sauce
Clayton bringing the heat!
Don't overdo it, kid
Drop the curve on him!
ass face
Should have thrown him something other than that same fastball
On my boss' sofa, Vinny! *
* Still working
Has O'Parra replaced Victorino as the most hated player for Dodger fans now?
O'Parra knows it is coming sometime, especially if we get way up or way down
*calls in bomb threat to Dusty's office*
There be only one Victorino
I'm looking forward to that!
O'Parra getting beaned that is.
@MLASC: FB was counting 2004.
nice work, Aaron
Nice pick by Miles.
Time for a coke and some Utz Crabby Chips!
yes, take more walks!
Think Beer
3-2 count for me. 3 slices and 2 beers.
i do have a Genny Cream Ale tallboy in the fridge...
Is Larry King wearing the purple-and-gold LA cap?
not a very fulfilling third inning there.
2-0 dodgers through three
don't be afraid to take the walk, Q7
4th slice is being worked on now. Going for a run in the morning.
pizza is good for you
I'm just loading up on some carbs for my run.
Vin is setting up Upton's game-ruining hit that'll come later tonight
These chips must be working. I read that as "loading up on some crabs"
@Saxy, did you like that half-inning better?
HAHA! That would be an interesting pre run dinner.
I like the LA Galaxy commercial and how they emphasize the soccer terms like "boots" and "pitch"
it would probably result in a different kind of run...
Yes it would FB.
good Jose Rijo story!
Fuck the Reds
anybody going to the LA County Fair?
FSArizona just put the numbers for Kemp and Upton side-by-side, under the title "MVP Contenders."
Kemp beats Upton in every stat they list by a mile.
Another great grab by Miles.
@MLASC for the same reasons, it's amazing to me that everybody tries to list Victorino as an MVP candidate as well
But if you are predicting what dumb sportswriters will vote for, anything, except the logical answer, is possible
Nasty off-speed pitch from Kershaw to get Roberts. Clayton's filthy tonight.
@MLASC, how bad has Grace been tonight?
heh heh Vin sort of calling for justice, RE O'Parra
Mark Grace is ready for some shenanigans.
it'll be good for Dee to spend more quality time with Lopes next year
I've had the game on mute for a better part of the broadcast, but from what I've heard, Grace is everything he usually is and just slightly more.
Dee's gonna be with the big league club next year.
and that idiot play-by-play announcer saying "great tilt" after every pitch
I relish the games when he's off doing FOX broadcasts.
Time for O'Parra to get beaned?
@MLASC, you gonna go to any Cards or Sun Devils games this fall?
THAT'S BULLSHIT!
WHAT?!?!?!?
fuck youuuuuuuuuuuu!
Both Grace and PxP Man whose name I don't recall think ejecting Kershaw is wrong.
There goes Donnie.
WTF????!!?!
That fucker poked Parra in the fucking elbow! That's bullshit.
What happened?! I am in a damn board meeting!
Fuck, now you warn the benches?
Kershaw nicked Parra with an inside pitch on the elbow and was immediately thrown out of the game. Mattingly came out and argued with the home plate ump, and he was tossed too.
only if they warned both sides before the game is that not a complete pile of steaming doodoo
Kershaw hit him intentionally to make up for yesterday and was ejected without warning?
FUCKING UMPIRES!!!!!
@LF - exactly
Kershaw did not want to hit him, Grace. If he did, he wouldn't aim for the fucking elbow. Dumbass.
Debatable that it was intentional, Loney Fan.
Hit em all!!! Let Vinny sort them out.
yeah, sorry, LF - not 100% that it was intentional
That is bullshit the guy is pitching a one hitter.
There's only one jackass in the D-Backs' bullpen who was visibly excited by the ejection. Jackass.
Doubt it, he wants to win 20 games, if he would do it you would think it would be in the 8th or 9th with this bullpen..........
I think K was going inside but didn't intend to hit em. But yeah you need to warn the teams before the game if you are going to watch for intent.
They just showed a replay of Kershaw yelling from the dugout after being ejected saying "That's not right! You gotta let me pitch!"
I wonder if MLB sends Welke a letter tomorrow that says he can't do that ever again.
Dodger fans are not Welke fans.
Thanks for the info everyone, especially Quad.
Donnie needs to come up with a plan for September 26th on our next meeting. Or we could just throw it right at his face the next at bat.
I say we have a reliever throw at Parra's ribs and really show Welke what intent looks like.
So are we still rooting for the Snakes to go to the postseason over the Giants? Or can we now hate them on a more equal level?
No problem LF. Our minds seem to be on the same track on this topic too.
Nobody is equal to the Giants.
Does Rod olé a pitch?
All 300 fans at the stadiun are in an uproar... Wow this is wild
haha the cheer for the foul tip that hit the ump
*charges the D-bags dugout*
Stupid PxP Man whose name I don't recall says that Dodger fans have gained "a reputation."
Sorry, I'm just catching up here.
I second the weak sauce motion of Mr. Customer.
If the pen doesn't hold the lead and/or the offense doesn't add to it, I'm marching straight down there to punch them all in the dicks.
Then I'm going after you, Welke.
Not equal, closer to equal.
Did Hudson give us the freebie out due to his sympathy allegiance to the Dodgers?
What reputation? That we don't put up with bullshit?! I like that reputation.
Somebody's probably going to plunk a Dodger. I hope they hit Velez.
imagine if there was a real pennant race going on. tossing Clayton could have had a real impact
plunk Velez sitting in the dugout
I blame Dusty's boss for all of this
@FB - I forgot about your question. I have tickets to ASU/USC next Saturday, but no tix for the Cards. I'm looking into tix for when the Dodgers come to town in two weeks, but that'll be a game-time decision.
I imagine the same guy that I heard on Monday also let Welke know that he would see him in the parking lot.
Rod looks pissed! He's talking a mile-a-minute. In his next at-bat, he'll either strike out on three pitches or hit the ball over the pavillion
@MLASC that sounds good. Is ASU in the new stadium or still in Sun Devil Stadium?
They still play in Tempe.
@FB
So pretty much a normal Barajas AB.
Should have hit Bloomquist.
If Contagion was real, they could just bring the contaminated people to Dodger Stadium. Every seat is like a quarantine area with nobody around for miles
Texas State? Wasnt that the school in Necessary Roughness?
So far, I haven't known a Boilermaker I didn't like.
@FB Yup. Home of the fightin' armadillos.
Someone who couldn't stand Mark Grace: his ex-wife.
great job, Josh!
Lindblom throwing smoke.
@MLASC, did shenanigans get Grace in trouble?
cmon, fellas, let's stretch this lead out
send it to Short Stop, Rod!
I don't know about shenanigans, but she apparently booed him an awful lot.
Ugh. I hate it when broadcasters actually root for the players.
Back to mute.
D'bags announcers make the White Sox guys look objective.
Damn! So close Sands.
C'mon, Paul, nothing tops Hawk Harrelson.
Sands with the catch at the wall! Nice play!
Sands keeps Kershaw's hope alive.
Dammit, Eovaldi, settle down
The Hawk had a great meltdown today.
We got a lot of comments tonight, boys and girls
Natch.
2-1 LA now, with two out
Ugh. I'm getting too old for this shit.
Add Dodger baseball to Josh's Murtaugh list.
On to the bottom of the eighth, Dodgers up 2-1
Need more runs...and beer.
DAMMIT
Phew! SCORE SOME GODDAMN RUNS.
203!
DAMNIT!
Hit an insurance home run Mr. Kemp!!!!!
203!
Awww that was just sad.
@Josh and the Dodgers are the thing that's making you older
Gameday showed strike two as a foot outside.
The Dodgers make my liver older.
