Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Today we continue the road show with the first of three games at Houston. The Colt .45s, that is; not the Astros. This past Tuesday and for every home game on Friday, players will don the throwback Colt .45s logo (which blessedly originated with no extraneous apostrophe, which would have been a big disappointment for me) to commemorate 50 successful proud years of the franchise. The team finally swept aside controvery about including a gun in the logo, which was original and therefore historically accurate. As if crime in, say, Houston's 5th Ward in the last 50 years has all been the result of and a misguided reaction to a simple baseball logo.
That brings us to my favorite malt liquor, Colt 45. Since my college days, I've quaffed this swill proudly successfully, and still find time to snag a few tall boys of if or the occasional 40oz when the occasion arises. Today and this weekend are such occasions. I'll have to go to a liquor store that "isn't on the way home" to purchase my 40 ounces of golden goodness, but it will be worth it. Hopefully I can be half as smooth as this guy when I'm drinking it:
I hope you can join me in toasting the weekend series with a nice cold Colt 45. Because, as the old ad says, It works every time!
Some family is staying at my Mom's house this weekend. They're from Northern California (Giants fans). I turned on the TV just in time to see Bison smash his 8th homer of the season. The look of disgust on their faces...that's something money can't buy! :D

Sellers is leading off? I'm sure he'll get a tattoo to remember.
I was just thinking this morning during a mtg that Dee needed a day off.
I want to see Dusty play Edward Fortyhands.

Dusty is Beercules!
Beercules! That's phat.
Lando's not a system!
unga bunga
Wow, a lot of guys I haven't heard of starting for the Astros.
This thread has all the makings of...well, a very debaucherous thread. I endorse it wholeheartedly.
Sellers tattoos a single!
KEMPHR!

2-0 in the first thanks to a Kempy HR. Great start!
Nice curve by Lilly!
Kemp has an OPS of 1.500!
Blue is pinching Lilly.
Ajellis GR double!
Ajellis fears no pitch.
Lilly walks!
The Lilly giveth, and the Lilly taketh away.
Squeeze and squeeze alike.
Nice going, Sellers. Hippie.
Lilly issuing more free passes than a drunk bouncer.

Ethier RBI #19! 3-0 Dodgers!
Very nice, CB!
Ethier? Ethier.
Epale everyone! i'm on time to watch Loney to get out of the slump :)
next time, i guess *sighs*
"Ted Lilly is getting a generous strike zone by umpire". After that painful walk-off, we kinda deserve that.
There you go Karina, lead off double by Loney!
Boozellis!
Call it! *Snoopy dancing*
Matt Kemp, he'll kick you apart. He will also show mercy.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow! Karina really did call it (Loney's slump-busting double). Strong work!
I'm pretty sure Snyder would have disintegrated if Kemp lowered the boom on that play at the plate...
45?
Listening to the game, watching my boy. The one I'm watching isn't going well.
That is why you fail, rbn.
The 45 grab, not the boy.
Stupid Steiner said it was two out when Lee came up. I couldn't figure out why Altuve was trying to go home.
Yeeeeeaaaaahhh, Urine needs to be sitting for the majority of the season....
Is this going to be Lilly's worst career quality start?
Can Ajellis play first next year?
*cries*
Ted Lilly has no butt. He's like the antithesis of Broxton.
Mets, down 3-2 to the Giants, just tied it in the bottom of the ninth. 3-3, Mets still batting with one out.
AJEllis has a hell of an arm!
Strike 'em out, throw 'em out DP!
I thought Olive Oyl was the antithesis of Broxton.
AJellis had a great arm in Milwaukee, too, when he threw it into center field.
And we lost that game btw.
Dodgers up 3-1 through six
Sax isn't bitter.
SoSG Sax: Not getting bitter since 2006
Sax's Racer 5 IPA isn't bitter, either
That's a shame.
Sax's last oil change at 2500 miles must have been too early
FYFST
DVR'ing this one, Vinny!
Only in bottom of first.
Nice DP, Lindblom!
Of course, giants take the lead in the tenth
Mr la sc, what is fyfst again?
F.I.S.T.
It should be FYFSS, but I like the T better.
JANSEN WALK FIRST BATTER HE JUST LIKE BROXTON HAR HAR HAR HOW MANY INNING IN BASEBALL?
Mets threatened in the tenth but giants win 4-3.
Kenley Jansen is good at throwing baseballs.
Gwynn is not too good with swinging bats.
Astros' SS putting on a show.
Javy time!
It's even easier to hate the Astros when they're wearing those black and orange uni's.
WIN!
Got him looking!
11-3. Not bad.
Making party by firing revolvers straight in the air, Yosemite Sam style.
Also making party by drinking 40s, Dusty style.
If you were really doing it Dusty style, you would be unconscious by now.
We won? We won!!!!
Changed it to the Laker game... And now changing that
