Dana Eveland (2-2, 3.75) vs. Daniel Hudson (16-11, 3.43).
Now that Clayton Kershaw has concluded one of the best pitching seasons in Dodger history, our eyes turn to Matt Kemp's quest to carve out his niche in baseball history. (Wow, did I just sound like Bob Costas there?) The 2011 NL West champion Diamondbacks have won four straight, including a three-game sweep/shellacking of the Giants. (Tim Lincecum's final record? 13-14.) Kemp needs a 3-for-4 or 4-for-4 day to make ground in the batting average race. And we need to send someone to the Brewers' clubhouse to slip some Ex-Lax in Ryan Braun's Gatorade.

At this point I'd be happy if Kemp can hit 3 more dongs. A few weeks ago I didn't think he'd make 40/40
I so so so so want Kemp to hit a 3 home runs (or more!).
Can I pick any 3 dongs that I would prefer to be pummeled?
MVPs don't rest.
^ that is exactly why Braun isn't starting tonight for the Brewers
Rays!
Orioles!
I just spotted Marla wearing a Mark Grace jersey and a Randy Johnson mullet wig.
A double to SHALLOW left center. Dopeness.
lets do this
MARRY ME MATT!!!
YESSS! just like that
si se puede
exactly!
Big Blast for Kemp. That's cool
Hey, other Dodgers:
The more times you can safely hit, the more ABs for Kemp
2011 is proof positive that Rhi Rhi is the Devil.
Just sayin'.
Do it again,matty!
K in Kemp's second AB...
I think I just figured out who the nun was. (Prime Ticket camera operator in the Dodgers dugout.)
Rays win 5-2
Boston was down 6-2 but with one out they just plated one run, so it's 6-3 in Baltimore
Reyes 3 for 4 so far. 40/40 may be the more realistic goal than the triple crown.
Orioles win. Angels failing to take advantage, as usual.
Damn you, Chris Young.
Vlad Guerrero becomes the Dominican-born player with the most career hits, passing Julio Franco tonight.
Oh, and the O's beat the Red Sox. Rays and Red Sox tied for the wild card with two each to play.
Wow, St Louis--knowing Atlanta had lost to philly--just tied it up in the top of the eighth with two runs to make it 4-4.
I retract my previous statement about the nun. Clearly it was the trainer they just showed standing by Kemp.
Sellers needs more seasoning. He's doing next to nothing at the plate.
Tampa Bay is peaking at the right time. Bosox are plain stinking it up big time
Was Sellers ever considered a top prospect? I still like dejesus as the front runing youngster for 2b next spring.jesus as the front runing youngster for 2b next spring.
Good thing the no-hitter was already gone, or I think we'd have grounds to REALLY plunk Parra.
so tired of watching Baseball Tonight and Barry Larkin dismissing Kemp, like he has no chance in hell of winning MVP. This is coming from the guy who himself won it by being sixth in batting (.319) and second in stolen bases (51) . Those are Starlin Castro numbers . . .
Cue exit music, nice job Eveland, enter Lindblom...
Holy shit i love Carls jr commercials! Rewind
Forgot to check in, Vinny!
Wait, a win guarantees at least .500, right?
(fails at math)
Nice dig, JLo! Great defence tonight!
Dallas sucks slightly less than Washington in the NFL.
What is our magic num....oh.
DAMMIT!
(cries)
1-4 for Matty. Great first AB (not just bc of the outcome) but really sloppy, forced next three ABs.
Sands has hit in 14 straight. Lovin' in, White Bread!
45
Dusty, since .500 is a technical impossibility, a win clinches a winning season.
To be fair, it's pretty much winning in the Charlie Sheen sense.

FUCK YOU LIGHT THROWING BULLPEN WHITE GUYS! JUST FUCKING FUCK YOU. I watched all god damned night just to see you pieces of shit walk everyone.
@Josh
Ahhh, the elusive 162nd game. Forgot about that.
You can't fight fire with white guys.
Or something.
This scrawny McDougal little bitch looks like he's a paycheck away from being a hobo.
THROW A GOD DAMNED STRIKE ASSHOLE!
A strike!
Jesus Murphy!
Why would any Dbags batter do anything but keep the bat on his shoulder?
They took your advice.
what the fuck is wrong with you fuckitty fucks? i'm not wasting my time with you assholes any more. i deserve better than this shitfest. if i wanted to see this many dickheads walking around i'd go to the state fair.
dusty, out.
^ i mean our pitchers, not SoSG readers in this thread.
If a paycheck is the difference, McDougal is probably already a hobo.
Gumby's got a case of nerves tonight. He's given away two outs in the ninth inning.
I don't like him anymore, he fucks up to much.
Is there an easier way to comment via smart phone?
Nutty stat of the day: Javy is one save away from Broxton's 2010 total.
3840PGTUP!
I hate to do this, but dee is not the answer at short.
