Chad Billingsley (0-0, -.--) vs. Cory Luebke (0-0, -.--).
What do you mean the season isn't one game long? Dammit! And here I was ready to buy playoff tickets.
The Dodgers look to double their win total today as a hopefully vomit-free Chad Billingsley takes the mound. Thunder Thighs had a pretty rough spring (5.91 ERA, for what it's worth) and was reportedly working on his pitch selection until the end.
Then again, Matt Kemp showed us yesterday that spring training is just that. Chad's slate is clean until he throws his first pitch. Then we can pile on him.
The Padres are starting Cory "Jiffy" Luebke, who they liked enough to sign to a deal potentially worth $27.75 million through 2017. It's exactly the kind of move that's become the specialty of small- to mid-market teams. Which, thanks to Magic, we're no longer in danger of becoming. Thanks, Magic!*

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 319 of 319Chad is surprisingly solid tonight
At least Hairston can get on base.
Steve Sax: not a big fan of Chad.
Vin says 1981 was the year of the comeback.
Angels and Royals scoreless in the 7th. Kinda surprising.
Pick one player every day who you think will get a hit. Get a hit, your streak continues; get no hits, start a new streak. Be the first to reach 57 games and win $5.6 Million
A good sales pitch by AJ, anyway.
Include Juan Uribe in your streak and win $5.6 billion!
@Alex
I've played before, but I seem to crap out about 20 or so and give up.
Comment page bump.
Sorry gents, I'm off to get in a workout. Keep up the mojo.
Urine, keep up the mojo potatoes.
No noise from Owings there. Another K for Bills.
KX
Comment page fist bump
Pick Urine, Alex, pick Urine!
Where is Eugenio Velez now?
10 K's for Chadley. Honeycutt is a genius.
(sends another tersely-worded memo to Sons IT staff re comment template)
Ned Colletti signed Eugenio Velez to a two-year minor-league contract.
Chad cruising. Love it.

A time share in Coachella. That's the funniest thing I've heard all year.
Kemp sucks.
I kid.
not a chance in hell - i'd pick that well zombie...
for those of you who missed it yesterday, urine's on the screen graphic for this year looks identical to the well zombie from walking dead

Found a fix for the comments. Sent it to the IT guys, then made fun of them for not having girlfriends.
@Sax
Heading to the girlfriend's home town. Just got to the hotel. It has no bar. This town blows.
^ bad use of a "-"
i know the sons are picky about their grammar and punctuation
So quiet in Petco, all you can hear is Dodger fans.
Sort of a Highbury Library.

We are also picky about Kelsey Grammer's punctuation.
the swinging friar is out on good friday?
anyone going to the grammar rodeo this year
The Swinging Friar is out on Passover?
Oh Guiness, how doth I love you.
I'd like to see this Chadley about 20 more times this season.
Please?

Hey Neeebs, there's a bar at Primm Valley (armpit, I know, but I like it) that comps Guinness while you play.
They actually lost money on me yesterday.
I'm willing to let Kelsey Grammar not use the Oxford comma, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let Guinness be spelled with one "n".
@Orel
That manual fix is your answer? You gotta know your audience, man. These people are fat, drunk, and stupid. I am all three.*
*Honorary drunk for now. #antibiotics
Ugh. Ethier would be buggin' the shit out of me if he didn't have that double and triple tonight. Wiener.
Guinnness?
Did somebody say armpit?
Ethier has a triple weiner?
My new blog will be The Sons of Jerry Hairston.
Just because.
Dusty has a wiener in his armpit?
Jerry Hairston, OBP machine.
@Dusty
Unfortunately, we're all out of Luebke.
Alec Guinness?
Speaking of Leubke, why did they keep him in so long?
Genuine class?
Urine wearing #5. Nomar is spinning in his grave.
piss
I need Professor Ditty to come in here and explain this whole Bobby P thing with the Hogs.
Urine jumps the devil.
Uribe doesn't deserve to be called Urine.
Sons of Sons of Jerry Hairston Sr.?
Need some Leubke for that wiener,Dusty?
Fack. He should've just struck out!
Fucking urine.
@RBN
Pls don't mention Petrino. I'm too fragile.
"Uric acid crystals excreted in water are too good for you!"
I like Kemp's shoes.
@Orel, or the sons of Max Venable.
Wait, the Venables are related? Who knew!
30?!
Actually, come to think of it, I totally believe that.
Gold Gloves in the outfield!
Hitting hard, but to no effect.
See Padres that is why you should Bunt!
Wilson Betemit. (cries)
Maximum Venable.
Chadley should go for the complete game so we can hear Chad Moriyama's head essplode.
I heard they locked Lenny Dykstra up in a maximum Venable prison.
You knew what you were in for after the way Petrino left the Falcons.
Isn't Chad M. a big Chad B. defender?
vin just had someone fired...
Chads gotta stick together.
@Dusty
I'll see your Betemit and raise it Jose Valentin.
Nice BUNT!!!
Chadley, Silver Slugger
I'll accentuate the positive: Casey Blake
Then the negative: Joyce DeWitt
Angels scored four against the Royals. Pujols must have hit four solo homers.
DB, I was only getting the story via the ESPN bottom line. Something about him, a motorcycle, and a volleyball player?
Sounds like an ABC sitcom.
That's a 25-year-old volleyball player, mind you.
Seriously RBN, I'm too fragile right now. (sticks fingers in ears)
I said ears.
Mike Edwards, anyone?
Dusty is streaming the Podcast version of the game thread.
Let's bring it on home, Chadleigh.
Chadley coming out for the complete game.
Suicide watch in Hawaii.
That's a good (shitty) idea: Have dramatic readings of our Game Threads and podcast them.
Billingsley is da man
hermida, hermiduh, hasenpfeffer incorporated.
DBT appearance!
Sorry, Chadley.
BAH! Come on, Mattingly! Booooooo!
*stands up and claps*
BOOOOOOOOOO
That was for Donnie.
YAAAAAAYYYY CHAD.
8 2/3. I'll fucking take it!
Almost got the double play.
Oh, 1/3. My bad.
Would you take 8 1/3?
Never mind.
Bills pulled; Moriyama safe, although he said he would be fine with a CG.
We make 2-0 party!!!
Time of game: 2:27.
Starting the season off on the right foot!
Statement game for Bills.
Light up the hal... wait.
Open another beer, we're 2-0!!!!
W
