Clayton Kershaw (0-0, 0.00) vs. Kevin Correia (0-0, -.--).
Finally, the home opener that Dodger fans have been waiting for! With festivities including the Beach Boys, appearances from the 1962 team, and a naval flyover, this 50th anniversary celebration is going to start out with a bang. Festivities begin at 12.15p.
Meanwhile, about that game... Kershaw is feeling better than his road opener last week, which should spell bad news for the Pirates; as Jon Weisman punned earlier, the only hurling Kershaw should be doing today hopes to be from the mound. Correia is 5-4 with a 4.41 ERA lifetime, but was 0-1 with a 5.68 ERA last year (one start, we got 10 hits off him).
SoSG Orel, Dusty, and myself will be at the game this year, reporting as much as the spotty cellphone coverage (and beer-fueled, sun-baked field-level dehydration) will permit.
Go Dodgers!

Fidel Rocks!
Yes, Urine!
I've come to accept that Uribe is in the lineup to make the other guys look better.
Sure, Matt Kemp is a beast, but when he's racking up 100 runs scored with Uribe batting behind him, HE'S BEAST MODE!!!
En route!!!
Now Brandon Phillips is locked up. Will there be anyone to get in free agency?
At the yard, Vinny!
Get well soon.
Chained to my desk, Vinny!
Steiner/Lyons on TV. Lordy.
I'll take Steiner over Collins any day, actually.
Uribe is going to bust out today! 4-4, 2 HR, 5 RBI...
No, not really.
@Stubbs
Agreed. It's Lyons who's really unnecessary.
In the Dodgers team store queue, non-Vin!
The only thing Uribe will be busting out is the stitching of his jersey.
@Sax:
Fuck the merch, grab a beer!
I think a telecast is unnecessary without Vin. #MuteButton
@Spank agred. tv sound will be muted, and the ipod on shuffle.
Maybe SAP is in order.
SAP, now you're talking. Who's doing espanol? Jorge Jarrin and Manny Mota's kid, right?
C'mon Juan! YOU CAN DO BETTER!
I believe in you!
Nice.Never thought of that, Nomosh.
Beeeeee-youthful day here at the Stadium.
Get well Vinny!
God damn, I don't want to be in cubicle hell right now. There's baseball happening, people!
About to hit the road, but in the opposite direction of Dodger Stadium.
(cries)
I'm feeling some good vibrations.
Beeeeee-youthful day here at the Stadium.
Get well Vinny!
Looks like Sergio Garcia gave up his golf career for the big money of being the Dodgers bat boy.
Beeeeee-youthful day here at the Stadium.
Get well Vinny!
Sorry, coverage is spotty
Hansen was the only coach to give high fives down the line
BOOOOOOO! #Hairston
Wallach and Hilmann did to, Saxy.
What? Did Dre actually have a smile?
BOOOOOOO! #Urine
Beach Boys sang Surfer Girl, but Brian Wilson looked like he didn't know where the hell he was.
Their national anthem was more straight up, ahead of the flyover...
Stamos!
Almost killed sOme of the pigeons with those late fireworks
haha. i repeated Saxy.
Beer fueling in progress, not-Vin!
Public Enemy #1 makes an appearance
Wooo! Granted happy hour beer prices for the duration of the game!
cc: Sax & Dusty
Beeeeee-youthful day here at the Stadium.
Get well Vinny!
Dee Gordon, professional hitter
Dee steal!
Mellis on yahoo still has an A's hat on.
Did a racoon take a crap on the front of MEllis' jersey?
Mellis moves Dee over to third.
Old fart baseball run!
I'll take it!
Cold and rainy up here in the Bay Area. Turned on MLB network and there is sunny Dodger Stadium, just watched Kershaw go 1, 2, 3 in the first.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I wonder if Barajas pulled off his rock-Dee-to-sleep act off pregame...
Either AT&T coverage still sucks at the stadium or the Sons are stuck in beer line purgatory.
Orel's stuck in beer line, Sax is asleep, and Dusty's...
heckling Orel while he's in the beer line?
Whoa, Loney walks and Uribe singles? The Sons are attending a momentous occasion.
Stranding the lead-off triple is acceptable.
Yes, I'm behind.
Well, at least we got Kershaw out of the way for the third.
Damn, Kershaw could have the best pickoff move in baseball.
Wow, Correia must not practice running the bases much.
Nice AJ!
Love how Kershaw is dealing with a smile today.
Juan Rivera: GIDP Machine
It looks like someone told Loney that he'd start the season 0-for-13 in his pic.
That was a Barajas Boom if I ever saw one.
Kershaw is looking good today.*
*My view is the box score
Urine is on first. I'm so confused.
Uribe has two hits today!
AJK? After a Uribe single, my world view is all screwed up.
It's up to Dee to score Uribe.
DeeBB. It's up to Mellis.
Uribe is the definition of clogging the basepaths here...
Fuuuuck.
Czar, Parcells dropped out of the Saints job today. You've applied, right?
I sent my application to the Saints last week, but I think my record with fight clubs might be a turn-off.
Fight clubs? We don't talk about no fight clubs.
Spank spilled the beans, not me!
Surly factor +6. Fatigue factor -12
Still, it's Opening Day.
I hope the fans like pitchers' duels, cause they ain't getting Beast Mode today.
Sue: That hurt, 'Dre?
Ethier: Just my pride, baby. Just my pride.
This is Rivera's chance to show he's more than a GIDP machine. He's a GISP machine, too!
Why can't Harang and Capuano be as good as correia?
Because they're Harang and Capuano.
DAMMIT!
Smalls balls.
Sigh, Home Loney.
WTF? Home Uribe is good(ish)?
L0ney.
Of the 5 hits against Correia, Uribe has 3 of them?!
Urib3?
Well, against the Pirates, anyway. I guess this last one was off Cruz
Come on, we all know Kershaw is a better hitter than Kennedy
Impressive curve.
Let's have some offense!
MEllis: Not impressive, offensively.
Or offensive, offensively?
'Dre bomb!
Love the green writing on yahoo's box score!
2-1 Good guys.
Props to the guy sitting in the front row against the bullpen wall for pulling in Ethier's homerun ball.
'Dre!
Love the delayed Gameday reaction.
Dre Day! Quick shout out to the Sons and followers at the game...wish I was there.
On a sour note, I don't look forward to the day with Charlie Steiner and Steve Lyons as the full-time broadcast team. Please get well soon, Vin, and then live forever.
CutchGIDP! Making party!
YES!!!
We make home opener party!
Is it just me, or is Javy about the least physically intimidating looking closer out there?
Lyons is wearing one of Vin's blazers from 10 years ago.
Good way to close it out.
Later Sons
Baseball: Still good.
Related, Baseball: Infinitely better with Vin.
Wooooooooooot
Great home opener victory. I'm loving it. Thank goodness for SAP. Get well soon Vinny
Mmmm... Dodger goodness...
Laters, SFDF!
