"Mill-e-wah-que..."
Chad Billingsley (2-0, 0.83 ERA) vs. Yovani Gallardo (1-1, 5.91 ERA)
This is it, folks. After spending 10 days pretty much obliterating the woeful Padres and Pirates, the
BEST IN MLB Dodgers face their first real tests:
- A genuine road trip (SD doesn't count. The team hasn't even been on a plane since leaving Arizona.)
- A series against a team that won 96 games last year
- The Collins Curse
"But Nomo," you say,
"the Brewers are 4-6 to start the season! And they lost Prince Fielder!" Yes, they did indeed shed some muscle (and, well,
fat), but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be taken seriously. They still have Rickie Weeks and Aramis Ramirez and Nyjer Morgan and Corey Hart and Jonathan Lucroy and George Kottaras and Mat Gamel and Travis Ishikawa and Alex Gonzalez and Cesar Izturis (Wait.
Really?) and Norichika Aoki and Carlos Gomez and John Axford and Yovani Gallardo and Zack Greinke
(has a tiny head) and Randy Wolf and K-Rod and Shaun Marcum and Manny Parra and Tim Dillard and Marco Estrada and Kameron Loe and Chris Narveson and Jose Veras and...
and...
Huh.
Does anyone else think it's weird that they went with only a 24-man roster this year?

Bring it. I'm going to have to catch this one from the road.
Nice GT Nomo, I had to smile when I read it and noticed the omission...
I might listen to the Brewers feed. I haven't had a chance to hear the Bob Uecker/Joe Block combo yet. After last week, I need a break from all non-Vin Dodger broadcasters.
Good idea Nomo.
..and...
The return of Eric Collins!
Dee single!
C'mon, Marquellis!
Damn.
Oh man. Just a double for Kemp.
FYFST
Boo-thier.
Leadoff double by Weeks off Bills.
Heads-up by Chad to get Weeks off the comebacker!
Yeah! Bills blows Braun away!
Aramis makes out number 3.
Why doesn't Miller Park have a camera angle covering that right-field corner?
Loney being Loney, Urine being Urine.
The little girl in the Chase commercial worrying her mom will teleport a lion into the bank? Overacting a little bit.
Rivera sliding catch in left off Hart's sinking fly ball!
Good lord, Cesar Izturis is still on a major league roster?
Gamil solo HR puts Brewers ahead 1-0. Dammit.
Gamel, Orel. Get it right.
Dammit! Kemp ALMOST held on to Lucroy's shot, who ends up with a triple.
Gmail?
Me and my big mouth.
So THIS is what happens when we play a real team. Brewers 2-0.
Fun while it lasted.
Has Lyons said anything about Ethier's gold glove yet?
Thank goodness that's over with.
The dodgers patented 1-2-3 inning after an opposing team rally.
Well Matt Kemp is gonna to get one in the back next inning.
I'm regretting my decision to listen to WTMJ. No Ueck. Joe Block is OK, but Davey Nelson is baaaaad.
Haha Kcal totally caught Braun's expression after Kemp wasn't thrown at.
What up all?! Let's get some runs!
I show up and Rivera smacks a lead off double...coincidence? Yes.
In play, no out?
A big problem in hits with RISP is that runners don't always end up scoring.
Who's that guy who's wearing Loney's # that just got a single?
In play, run(s)?
I hate Loney.
WHAT THE HELL, Loney?
Rivera just scored on a shallow sac fly to weeks that he dropped on the exchange, loney caught steeling by a mile, 2 outs....
That crash has had some lasting effects on Loney. For a minute there, he thought he was Matt Kemp.
That's two doubles that probably would have had RBI if it wasn't for getting thrown out stealing.
If Gordon and Loney hadn't been CS, we'd be winning.
Ajellis with a 2 out double...
we should be all tied up at 2 but loney is fucking slow as balls...
Only down by one, with the top of the order coming up in the sixth. There's hope!
I blame Eric Collins...
I blame Oakland.
1-2-3
Our turn again!
Someone should get Dee a pair of glasses.
If Loney hadn't been CS, this game would be tied
If Woody had gone to the police, this would never have happened
terrible AB...
What a veteran AB by Mellis.
I bet Kemp wishes he had that pitch back.
@Sax always blame the woodpecker...
you-took-steriods-clap--clap--ClapClapClap
Double-dre!
Man on third, one out, Loney at the plate.
Loney ties it up!
IN PLAY, RUN(S)
seriously, who's this guy wearing #7?
Loney not exactly flashing his baserunning skills.
Urine takes second on a WP!
Loney is slower than the game of baseball.
James Loney: two great RBI, two horrible base running errors.
WTF James?! You act like you've never been on base?... Oh.
oh its Loney with another base running error thrown out at 3rd. 2 outs, urine on 2nd...
FEAR AJELLIS AND HIS OBP SKILLS
Bills pulled after 82 pitches. Can we get him the win?
Another abbreviated Bills outing.
OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE NOT KENNEDY GODDAMMIT
WOW I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING GREAT WORK YOU GUYS
Kennedy showing nothing good comes from Riverside...
I think we're going to get used to saying "F*king Kennedy!!" alot this season..
Donnie really f'd up there, should have kept Bills in.
80
GAARP 2.0
I'm pretty sure we all fucking hated it the first time too.
get off your knees ump, you're blowing the glame!
How is Cesar Izturis killing us?
There is absolutely no reason why Kennedy should be the first guy off the bench. Matt Treanor should be higher on the depth chart.
Et tu, Cesar?
Shit.
Bison flashing the leather just in time!
KEMvP
Matty did that shit last year in Milwaukee as well...
Mellis broken-bat single!
DBT broken-bat single malt scotch. Long fucking day. Can the blue crew pull this one out. C'mon boys!
make that a double, DBT!
ETHIER 2-RUN DINGAH!
FUCK YES DRE!
Boom. That's what I like to see.
Sweeter than yoo-hoo.
ANDRE!
C'mon, Ken Lee!
Siddown, Nyjer!
Wowee.
Siddown, Braunie!
Good job, Jansen!
Let's get some insurance!
Wait, it's Uribe, Ajellis and the pitcher's spot?
Let's get Javy some time to warm up!
Loney's making some good contact today, let's hope that continues...
I'm still in awe.
Guerra time!
Ajellis really wants to catch Javy.
These Brewers just don't go away.
(moans)
Nice save by Dee on a wild pickoff to second!
fer fucks sake lets get the dude at the plate...
Guerra BB.
(groans)
Throw a strike, Javy!
Bunts! Fuck bunts.
K!
Yes!
That's one out.
George Chakiris at bat?
He really is over throwing. Does he think he is Broxton?
That first bunt attempt looked almost exactly like the setup for the triple play.
Gameday says Weeks is both on deck and in the hole.
BALLS
Shit.
S'all good, though. At least it wasn't cheap.
WHERE IS YOUR MESSIAH NOW, KENLEY-HATERS?
Oh well
we get to do this again tomorrow, let's not blow our opportunities yeah?
Those two pickoffs are going to haunt my dreams.
I'd like to mention that one of the Brewers runs came on a bunt. That is all. I hate this negative feeling. On to win the next 9 right?
Sweep!
Hate to let them get away when you have it within reach. Javy just didn't didn't have it.
