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.
Clayton Kershaw (1-0, 1.61) vs. Ross Detwiler (2-0, 0.56).
You thought those Braves were pesky. Now we face the NL-leading Washington Nationals, another team that Jayson Stark thinks is "real". The Nationals are 14-4 and lead the Braves by two games (we lead the Giants by three).

Getting ready to blow off work for the game. I'll be in Loge 159 if anyone wants to swing by.
Word on the street is that SoSG Dusty and esteemed reader Steve K will be joining me.
Stubbs is in da house!
Looking for another great performance by Kersh tonight. Unfortunately I won't be in attendance, let's get off the schneid...
The word on the street is correct. See you there!
The word on Sesame Street is "Sustainability".
another hour?!
hurry up weekend!
Angels were up 2-0 on the Tribe late but it's tied in the ninth. Angels have two RISP with two out and Erick Aybar...
...strikes out swinging. On to the bottom of the ninth.
Man, this is dismal for the Angels.
And, the Angels lose 3-2.
I really feel bad for them.
About to take a shower, Vin!
Grounder to Uribe, it bounces off his gut into foul territory for the error.
Werth has a lot of facial hair.
No mercy for the Angels. Suck it.
Stadium looks empty
Spank, I disagree! I'm cool with the Angels in general. Would Yu rather the Rangers?
Dusty up in dis bish!
W J Steve and Stubbs and lots of gin.
Hey, it's Davey Johnson!
Dusty, glad you're there but don't tell me you're flasking.
Strike three!
Rickshaw 2010 Pinot Noir, Sax's opening drink of the game.
Dee looked like he was drunk at that AB
Bryce Harper!?!!? Where where?!???
In my recliner with my newborn Vin...
Great stat there: Kemp with 10 HR; Nationals team with 11 HR
Andre bomb!!!
Make that 5 HR allowed by the Nats this year
Dusty, Stubbs, jSteve: looks like you'll have no probs with cell reception tonight
The ole 1,2 punch! Dre & Bison!
DREEEEEE.
That is because Stubbs leased his body to a cell tower company.
@Sax: I've read comments from Angel fans actually hoping they'd get to 6-14, since that's how the '02 team started. They got their wish.
The '02 team didn't have the 2012 Rangers to deal with.
Congrats on the new arrival, ES!
Loney, with pitchers mound power
After Dre's HR, I like how he handed his helmet and gloves to Dee in the dugout. Reminding him he's a rookie!
Angels release Bobby Abreu.
ES, congrats and send us a picture!
(of your kid)
I don't feel bad for the Angels. They spent $240M on Pujols and everyone acted like they had won the off-season.
Keep first-pitch swinging, Nats!
Four-pitch inning for Kershaw. Love it.
Kershaw with a smooooooth third inning
@sax
Not flasking. Just paying super premium prices for double gin and tonics, as is the tradition for Stubbs and me.
@ Saxy 7:14
I'd rather not the Angels.
MDIL up in dis bish too, for the record.
Okay Dodgers, I know we've got Clayton on the mound, but let's score more than two tonight. Just to be sure.
45
@Dusty: Glad to hear it. The Stadium prices are highway robbery, but bringing in the flask only leads to bad times.
MDIL! What's up, baby?
MDIL rockin a sweet Dodgers jacket tonight. Major props.
Rickshaw Pinot Noir is kicked like a Uribe Vegas buffet.
On to beer.
Goddamn, Kemp is on fire.
Kemp, Detwiler, and the Nats catcher all laughing after Kemp hit that one for a single.
Base hit Andre
Kemp going early opens up the hole at short.
First and second, none out. Score 'me, dammit
Hairston, why would you be sacrificing if Loney and Urine are up next????
Hairston sacrifices anyway. Clearly, he's not reading SoSG mid-AB.
I suppose, at least Loney can't GITP
Loney, what the fuck.
Did anyone notice LaRoche tagged Loney with an empty glove?
Loney grounds to first with two RISP. Two out.
Uribe has 4 seasons with 20 hr? Is that Juan Uribe?
Uribe putting up some serious air conditioning up there
McRibe!!!
URIBE SPEED
Uribe, I still dislike ou quite a bit
Where the fuck is my y key
My commenting has gone all French suddenly
Orel: at first glance your comment looked to me like URINE PEED
@DBT, McRibe is fucking brilliant
Load up the bases like a Uribe dinner spread
Kershaw GS right here
Nobody told me tonight was the debut of Sax's one-man show.
RANCHO KERSHARDIENDO
Opening a box of Topps 2012 cards right now...
Ya gotta swing, K!
@sax that just came to me. He reminds me fatty greasy fast food... McRibe!
Hey, we're winning!
Dee Gordon card!
Matt Kemp card!!!
Tony Gwynn Jr cars!
Scotty Hairston hits for the cycle. Show your brother who wears the pants in this generation of the Hairston family, Jerry!
^card
Both Humber and Pierzynski cards
Blue Moons going down way to smooth...
Two consecutive Es by Dee.
Jesus, Loney, you can't catch one and then you can't throw one
My red bordered cards suck. But did you know, active NL HR leaders are Chipper Jones, Pujols, then Andruw Jones. Wo is pictured in a Dodgers uniform, no less.
Randy Wells' card has him holding a glove in his mouth
Halos release Abreu and all call up Trout
Kershaw: "Five outs? No problem."
Shit, I got a Russell Martin card. At least he looks like he's constipated.
Dee, your speed doesn't count if you never get on base
At first I saw that as 'send us a pitcher' I was like, I did, Ted Lilly is from Fresno
"You bought it. You can do what you want with it." - Stubbs
" That's what I told Neeebs' mom." - Dusty
Oh, you're THAT Eugenio's Streak! Got it!
The LaRoche curse? 3-2 Dodgers.
Knowing Ned, he'll only drop MacDougal or Rivera if it means a shot at Bobby Abreu.
Congrats ES!
Fresno City Rams baby!! Not your baby just baby.
Pads up 3-1 on the Giants
Am I mistaken or did Ethier think that was the third out?
Home run here, Andre
Jerry Hairston, OBP Machine.
Ajellis with the great plate discipline. Second walk tonight. Kershaw bats in the 7th.
CK bunts it too hard, Ajellis out at second.
Two on, two out for Kemp. Let's insurance here!
Kemp doin' (home)work!
Dammit.
Not the French rat again.
Kershaw through 8. 3-2 Dodgers.
KENLEY JANSEN CANT PITCH NINTH HAR HAR HAR TWO AND A HALF MEN MY FAVORITE SHOW
Good effort, Loney.
Are we up in Moriyama's shit again?
And Loney still sucks.
Aw, bullshit!
Fuck that! He was safe!
Gwynn was robbed, his hand got in there
Loney is a big worthless piece of shit!
Ask your doctor about Cialis.
DAMMIT.
BALL DON'T LIE GODDAMMIT
Wait! Hey Arnold is on!
Damn son has the remote.
Why didn't gwynn just steamroll the Nats' catcher?
Line jive!
Really. I still think his hand got in and I have a much better viewpoint and a much higher blood alcohol level.
sD 5, SF 2 B8
I'm getting a beer. Anyone?
Whew.
I just shit my pants.
WHEW!
Holy shit that was close. It almost hit the pole
espiNOsa
Shoulda Chan Ho Parked the catcher.
Come on Jersey Hansen!!
What? Chad Tracy still exists?
Vin just jinxed us there. Please don't say the Nats havent have a hit for a while, Vin
Thank gawd Steve Bartman was sitting in right field.
Come on Kenley
One more.
I can't believe this stadium is so empty on a Friday night
Janley Hansen rulez!
Whoops.
Dammit, Kenley hits him.
Fuck. Chad Tracy doesn't exist.
What?
Yes, Vin, that does indeed break the streak.
Davey out to personally thank Angel Hernandez.
He got hammered?
Edwin Jackson PH? That's weird.
Andrew Jackson?
E-Jax pinch-running!
Uh oh, 5-3 SD and still bottom of the eighth in SF.
If only we were facing Pujols right now.
Edwin Moses?
1-2 count to Flores
BALL DON'T FUCKING LIE
Apparently. Chris Gwynn was running for his brother.
Kenley gets him!
