Aaron Harang vs. Clayton Richard.
After blowing out the bullpen using eight pitchers on Saturday, the Dodgers look to Harang to get the sweep and potentially achieve their first 4-0 start since the momentous year of 1981. I know, I know, it's the Padres. I shouldn't be getting ahead of myself. But we can at least look to go into the Monday off-day with a win, right?
Look for Matt Treanor to get the start to rest AJ Ellis, who hit his first home run of the year and third HR of his career in last night's win. Ellis is batting .333 with a 1.205 OPS, and deserves the rest day; Treanor had a two-RBI single in an exhibition game against the Angels on Tuesday. And with every Matt Treanor mention comes an obligatory shot of his wife, Misty May Treanor!

Not flippin Uribe god dammit!
The more at-bats Uribe has to show he's useless, the faster he'll get DFA'd.
Sorry I've been on very little of late - I'm transplanting myself and the family from upstate CA to upstate NY, starting tomorrow. Thank God the season has started, it's given me moments of normality in an otherwise insanely stressful and hectic period of life.
One thing I can absolutely guarantee will happen before I log back in... Uribe will get a hit. He's just got to... Law of Averages... blind squirrel finding a nut... something.
Looking forward to reporting from either Pittsburgh or Flushing (both? wife permitting...) on "road trips"... PPR
Go Dodgers!
Huge move, PPR! At least you're getting out from under the dark shadow of Gnats territory. Good luck - look forward to hearing from you from the Least Coast.
Epale everyone!
Wotcherpale'sup, Karina!
Epale, Karina! My first epale of the season!
8-13? What the hell, Stubbs?
What did Stubbs do (or not do)?
Will this also serve as a sub-GT for Masters watching?
sorry for my absence but i was at the beach with my family and blogger is not kind with my phone, hope you've been optimistic and all :)
@Karina
I've ben trying to fill in optimism for you, but there's no substitute for the real thing!
And there's been a lot to be optimistic about, after all. 3-0!!!
It's back to 10-8.
"Ain't nothin' like the real thing,baby"
Good luck with the move PPR. If u get MLB premium though u can watch the dodgers all the time since u r out of the area!
It's hard not to be optimistic when the team is 3-0 but I'm sure one of us could find a way.
Urine again? Wallach needs to take a couple of steps over from the 3rd base coaching box to play in his place.
Double eagle on second hole? Wow!
Just talked to my father in law re Dodgers. Boy is he fired up and optimistic. You and he would have had a field day talking, Karina! If my father in law is optimistic, we must have something going.
10-9? What the what, Stubbs?
Jay Bruce and Carlos Santana both have two homers.
Angels down three in the first. That is acceptable.
I don't see this working out for Team Stubbs unless Matt Cain gets shelled today. Not that I would complain.
As Tim Allen would say, I need more power.
And we're off...
whoa. my pitchers stink.
Loney or Uribe, which one will get a hit first?
MLB At Bat works with bluetooth audio from the road! That's good.
First two Dodgers quickly retired. That's bad.
I can't read and forgot what time the game started: that's bad!
Hot wife, bad arm...
Harang not exhibiting pinpoint accuracy so far.
At Bat was at least 60 seconds behind last night.
I may need some rope to Harang myself if he keeps pitching like this.
1-0 Padres. Hmmm.
C'mon chinstrap!
Apparently Harang is still on the Padres' payroll.
Yonder hasn't been the same since Dr. doom stole his power.
2-0 Padres after half an inning.
I mean one inning.
Nice pickup, Mehllis
or was that Sellers?
He failed to rang 'em up. Weak sauce, Aaron.
piss
Ohferibe
Uribe picked that like he picks a danish from a breakfast buffet!
Uribe makes a defensive play!
Orel's was better.
Is it me or do Loney and Rivera come off first base a little early when they get a throw from an infielder? I wonder if Donny has been teaching them some of his tricks
Matt Treanor is the answer!
Mr. May gives it a ride, but to no avail.
Loney's bat: definitely not corked
heh I enjoyed Phil's bamboo adventure on 4
That was a scary lie, wasn't it, FB?
Bamboo is a type of grass. Why couldn't he just stomp it down like regular grass instead of treating it like an immovable tree?
WHY DO YOU TAKE YOUR KIDS TO THE BASEBALL GAME TO PLAY IN A SANDBOX? TAKE THEM TO THE BEACH - IT'S FREE!
crap, Dee
Yonder Alonso looks like George Zimmerman
Yo.
THROW
STRIKES
did i ever say i HATEHATEHATE Jesus Guzman?
is he a punk, karina? he seems like one
Feel that hate, Karina. That's what easter is all about!
rats - that's your run, Dee
Aha! The Padres' true nature is emerging. E-1 puts Gordon on first.
@Fred's Brim Jesus Guzman once had 64 RBI in Venezuelan winter baseball, 22 of them were against Aguilas. Not only that, he'd hit .150 but he could bring the winning run at the Luis Aparicio. The cherry is he plays for a team with even most obnoxious fans than Giants+Yankees+Red Sox fans and they are the Yankees of Venezuelan Winter Baseball.
Can someone please bean him? because it is Easter?
Somebody should egg him. Because it is easter.
61 pitcher for Harang.
i like your ideas, Dusty
Solo HR to...Parrino? 4-0 Pads.
Andy Parrino? Andy fuckin Parrino? Should have beaned him,
We're getting spanked. What gives?
Treanor has a Shitty arm...
is everyone sure we're keeping Harang? for REAL?
*cries*
this is boring
get him out of that mound!
time to change the side of the coin, go Dre!
Urine gets a hit! Urine gets a hit!
Loney now a shittier hitter than Urine.
Loney with the productive double-out. Two outs to get a guy to 3rd base.
Gnats up 6-0 over Snakes.
Humbug.
How did we get out of the bases loaded jam?
We have seen waaay to much of Jamie Wright so far this season
If I never see Wright again, it will have already been too much.
Matt F'N KEMP
BISON STRENGTH!!!!!!
BISONIC BOOM
How the hell did Kemp hit that ball out?
Greetings one and all. If this game's putting you into a stupor, the GAMEDAY of the Brewers / Red Sox slugfest is pretty stellar.
That was some Vlad Guerrero looking hitting.
Brewers are playing the Red Sox?
Hey, so Matt Kemp is kind of good.
Did Vin make a jai alai reference last inning?
Oh yeah...48/49 left.
Guess we won't have to worry about that second page of comments today.
There's a lotta game left, Orel.
Yep he did, Orel. Too bad I had no idea what he was talking about.
@Delino watching that game, Cabrera is awesome!
Beer and skittles reference!
"It's not all beer and skittles."
Damn I have to use that line.
Treanor has a popgun.
Does anyone else miss my son today?
That jesus strikeout was for you, Karina.
Karina, it's hard to accept but Russell Martin wouldn't be putting up those numbers if he were still with us.
@Dusty :) that's a nice thought
@Orel i'd like to think he would, but sadly, we will never know...same as Kuroda :(
hey the Snakes are firing up Matt Cain, back to back home runs
29 pitches: 14 strikes and 15 balls
Yeah 6-5 Gnats now. Snake poised to strike.
Yanke-mes start 0-3.
cc: Karina's dad
@Dusty - I'm sure the Yanks will blame the schedule, the gods, the holidays, the bias for their 0-3 start. (Remember when they didn't make the playoffs and blamed the wild card system)
They'll probably blame McCourt.
The real losers today are these hideous camp jerseys the Pod Rays are wearing.
Still with those camp jerseys? that's sports fashion tragedy, why not wear a ptach and call a day?
Dusty, my dad was informed. His answer? "we are talking about the Yankees, they'll find a way to be champions"
"camo"
"why not wear a patch and call a day?"
That's a great statement, karina! You're in good form today.
thanks, Dusty
*blushes*
Hey Elbert, a ball bunted toward the mound probably won't roll foul.
Wow, that blows. Pads GS makes it 8-2 SD.
*cries*
yeesh
Bad news, this one's over. Good news, I'll be at the park on Tuesday - it's been long enough!
Later y'all
The guys in the press box are all but ready to hit SEND on their post-mortems.
@Orel
I'm ready to hit publish on the PGT!
So, no extras today, eh?
Good thing I've got beer. XX ambar (their spelling, not mine) in the cooler.
And this: MATT FUCKING KEMP. He's good at the baseball game.
Snakes up 7-6.
I'd like a hambarger.
Love it, Dusty!
Andre HR #1!
Don't forget about Dre!!!
Ethier! Nice to see him start hot~!
go! you can win this game!
"Just in case Uribe gets on." HA HA HA
stupid relievers
Someone is playing for a contract, and it's not Uribe.
and yes, I'm aware Uribe is at the home plate
Gotta love karina's optimism.
Orel, hamburgars going on the grill in an hour. Motor on down to OC.
Free golf!
Careful, rbn, I might just show up.
Good afternoon, Vin!
So far this year Loney has hit more cars on the freeway than baseballs.
PGT up!
is there a sweeter thing than listening to Vin calling a Dodgers HR?
That was deadly, Nic!
they can't win'em all! if we can have Dre and Bison the way they have started the season, great things will come :)
That was a suckey bunch of suck.
TEBOW!
