Game 153 Thread: Sept. 20 vs. Giants, 7p

3
0

Clayton Kershaw (19-5, 2.30) vs. Tim Lincecum (13-12, 2.59).

Per Sax, Clayton Kershaw and Tim Lincecum have met head-to-head three times this season. Kershaw has won all three meetings (by a combined score of 5-2). Tonight, Kershaw has a chance to accomplish three things:

  • win his 20th game, bolstering his chances to win the Cy Young Award
  • sweep Lincecum in head-to-head meetings
  • put the Dodgers above .500, which they haven't been since April.

In a season full of meaningless games, tonight's might be the meaningfullest. We just want to tell you good luck, Clayton. We're all counting on you.

I'll be there tonight. Reserve 7, Row D, on the aisle, if you want to stop by and say hi. I won't be leaving my seat much, because I want to savor this game.

spank said...

I'll be the one in front of the tube talking smack on the GT,hopefully.

Jason said...

Timmeh's last name would not make it through the ESPN FF profanity filter.

Jason said...

Tonight's Dodger badges:

Kershaw - Win
Kemp - SB
Guerra - Save

Yes, please.

Nostradamus said...

Making a giant pastrami sandwich, Vinny!

Josh S. said...

The Dee Gordon Speed Racer video they play here is the hotness.

Also the hotness? A Dodger Dog with Cholula and deli mustard.

WASH YER FOOKIN HAIR, TIMMEH!

Nostradamus said...

Woot!

We're winning!

Josh S. said...

By this season's standards, the joint looks sold out.

Nostradamus said...

Even by this season's standards, this place is fucking dead.

Nostradamus said...

SANDS!!!!

Josh S. said...

HAHAHAHAHAFUCKINSUCKITTIMMEHLOL1111

Cliff Beefpile said...

Atta boy, Timmah!

Josh S. said...

Dee has tagged the ball hard to the exact same spot twice.

Paul said...

Did anyone mention Le Fuck de Giants?

Paul said...

Torres you just got molested by Uncle Charlie.

Josh S. said...

KK

Cliff Beefpile said...

Fuck you, Kershaw, for being so talented!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Man, they're really pushing those ugly-ass Fiats.

Paul said...

Love the fact that the crowd was getting into It with two strikes.

Paul said...

Get him Bison.

Paul said...

Nice hit James. Going the other way with it.

Steve Sax said...

Help me, why the kcal hate? Non-chemists in the crowd?

Fred's Brim said...

@Sax, I don't think Spank gets KCAL down in the south valley

Fred's Brim said...

and howdy, everybody

Fred's Brim said...

Aaron Miles is trying his hardest to not get resigned for next year

Fred's Brim said...

Sands nonchalants one to end the inning

Fred's Brim said...

WASH YER PUBES, TIMMEH!

Josh S. said...

Sax, get yer ass to the park. I've got an empty seat here.

Fred's Brim said...

man, Rod nearly hit that to the moon

Fred's Brim said...

aww run it out, Clayton!

Fred's Brim said...

good 2-strike bunt though

Cliff Beefpile said...

I'm a UCLA fan and all, but those hats are pretty ugly.

spank said...

@ Saxy

What FB said. No dice to KCAL on the Dish.

Fernie V said...

I think timmah is going to cry.

Nostradamus said...

What's crackin', FB?

Cliff Beefpile said...

Come on, Sellers, get on and let Matty have another crack at it.

Fernie V said...

I won't use Sellers and crack in the same sentence.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Timmah looks like he's upset that he's missing the Scorpions/Ratt/Cinderella concert.

Fred's Brim said...

attaboy, Matty

Fred's Brim said...

attaboy, Juany

Fred's Brim said...

Fred's Brim said...

Beltran eats poop

Cliff Beefpile said...

Is it wrong that I want to dry hump Kershaw's beard?

Cliff Beefpile said...

That's just unfair.

Fred's Brim said...

holy moly, that one had Vin chuckling

Kyle Baker said...

"A big Uncle Charlie"- Vinny

#KID FUCKING K

Kyle Baker said...

My god i love my boys in Blue

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Cliff Beefpile said...

A few more runs would be nice, Dodgers.

Fred's Brim said...

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Little D on base! Caution, speed demon x-ing

Nostradamus said...

Damn

Fred's Brim said...

aww crap

Nostradamus said...

Time for a dagger, Matty

Fred's Brim said...

Let's go, Matt!

Josh S. said...

Sellers is KILLING me.

Nostradamus said...

Well, that's something at least.

Fred's Brim said...

crap, at least Dee got to second

get him home, Juan!

Fred's Brim said...

Lou Piniella is a consultant for the Gnats? And I didn't think there were any more ways to hate them

Fred's Brim said...

Jamey Carrol is looking aged these days

Fred's Brim said...

this has all the makings of a disappointing loss

Clayton's at 99 pitches so maybe he can get to the 9th if this is a quick inning

Cliff Beefpile said...

Amazing how Vin can be gracious with anyone, even a raging asshat like Lou Piniella.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Fuck.

Fred's Brim said...

huh? I didn't think that had a chance at all

Nostradamus said...

FUCKING TWO FIRST NAME S.O.B.

Josh S. said...

Sheeeeit.

Fred's Brim said...

speaking of raging asshats...

Paul said...

Shit. Full count.

Paul said...

Come on Kid.

Fred's Brim said...

why did I open my big mouth?

Paul said...

Donald Duck hat night at the Ravine.

Nostradamus said...

At least we don't have to see either his ass or his hat for the remainder of the game.

Fred's Brim said...

fudge
Navarro would have let that get to the backstop

Nostradamus said...

Sweating this.

Josh S. said...

WTF? Torres can just stroll in front of Barajas and no interference call?

Paul said...

Ummmm I hate this shit.

Nostradamus said...

Looking raggedy, kid.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

What the hell, I go put the kid to sleep, come back and the shutout is gone! How did the Giants score that crap run?

Paul said...

Lost it.

Josh S. said...

NOW it can be devil jumping time please?

Fred's Brim said...

nice work, Clayton

take care of business, Kenley

Josh S. said...

FUCKING FAT SANDWICH GO AWAY.

Paul said...

Good start.

Fred's Brim said...

wow, big K!

Fred's Brim said...

Beltran up, this is why they got him

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

SIDDOWN, TUBBO

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Actually, I think they got Beltran because they wanted to win games.

Paul said...

Finish him!

Fred's Brim said...

CALL THAT!

Nostradamus said...

THANK THE GODS!!!!

Cliff Beefpile said...

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!

Fred's Brim said...

Adam Wainright flashbacks?

Paul said...

Oh I just jumped out of my seat. Awesome.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Bet he wishes he still wore a Mets uni.

Pistol Pete Reiser said...

I'm so excited I think I dropped a testicle.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

"I'm so excited I think I dropped a testicle."

Someone's been reading the Chaz Bono Diaries.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Fat Bitches and Beltrans no match for Jansen!

Cliff Beefpile said...

It'll be interesting to see how Guerra pitches in a game where there's actually a bit of pressure.

Pistol Pete Reiser said...

I realized as soon as I clicked "Publish" that I should have qualified whose testicle.

Cliff Beefpile said...

You mean you don't have a collection of mummified testicles, too?

Nostradamus said...

@PPR

Why go in for half-measures? Drop ALL of them.

Pistol Pete Reiser said...

Wait. We get more than one?????

Paul said...

(covers eyes)

Fred's Brim said...

Nostradamus said...

Squeaky bum time.

Paul said...

Bring in Broxton!!

Nostradamus said...

Dos mas.

Fred's Brim said...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Take that walking corpse down, Jansen.

Fred's Brim said...

YES!!!!!

Nostradamus said...

UJTMFD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fred's Brim said...
