Chad Billingsley (1-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Erik Bedard (0-1, 1.29 ERA)
How about that home opener, huh?
The Good: Andre Ethier got to play hero on his 30th birthday, demolishing a baseball to secure a 2-1 Dodger win. (Also good? Seeing a packed house of jubilant Dodger fans after last year's misery.)
The Bad: Vin Scully wasn't well enough to call the game. Per Tom Hoffarth, he's out again tonight. I would happily donate my nasal passages to get Vinny back sooner.
The Ugly: James Loney is 0 for 14 to start the season. (And with lefty Bedard starting for the Pirates, Loney likely won't have a chance to improve on that dismal start just yet.)
Chad goes for his second win, with what we all hope is a repeat of his dazzling performance in San Diego.
Go Thunder Thighs!

oof - Broxton with a meltdown tonight
The rain may be gone, but how will you prevent your tears of joy from wetting your replica Cy?
"The @Dodgers game will be picked up following LAC/ OKC on PRIME TICKET. You can listen live on @AM570RADIO (Eng.) or KTNQ 1020 AM (Span.)."
you see, like i've been saying,clippers suck.
Everybody! Tim Lincecum got a haircut!
But did he wash his hair?
Nertz. Stuff came up. Can't make it to the game. Will try to go Saturday instead.
My tix were free, so no harm done.
Unless Chad throws a perfecto or something.
Loney will not get his slump-ending multi-hit game tonight, apparently
SD over Arizona, 2-1
SF losing to COL, 6-2 in the fourth
12-pitch easy breezy first for Bills.
Enough with the bunting.
dammit, sf ties it at 6
I do not miss Barajas.
Jerry Hairston, OBP Machine.
I'm going to assume everyone is watching the Kings/Canucks game.
Balls.
Nads.

The RBI Machine produces!
Maybe Donnie should've benched Andre tonight too.
no worries Chad, keep it together
1-1 through 3

quick on the draw Orel!
This hockey game could be going better.
piss
KINGS!
trivia: Last year Matt Kemp became the 3rd Dodger in 70 years to lead the NL in HR. Who are the others?
BOOOOOOribe.
Sorry you couldn't make the game, Nomo.
S'cool. Had to deal with a bad case of Terrible Twos.
Nomo- We have tix for Saturday so if you end up heading to the Yard give me a heads up and maybe we can make sweet, sweet love on the concourse.
Uh, that wasn't a euphemism for poop.
Was it you who had the case of the Terrible Twos?
KK

You're a smooth talker, Dusty.
Did I just read this Tweet correctly?
"Rockies have 16 runs in the fifth inning against the Giants in a game started by Tim Lincecum."
According to Dylan Hernandez, Vin will miss tomorrow's game.
COL 12, SF 7, bot 5, so I guess not.
16 HITS THROUGH the 5th...
u should def unfollow that person for such shitty info...
Not that I'm complaining about that score.
Wow, McLouth just limboed to catch Chad's fly ball.
Don't steal my line, Steve Lyons!
It's a Tweeter named @AaronGleeman. Actually the official SoSG Twitter feed follows this goober, not me personally.
WAIT. SoSG has a twitter feed?!
This is either a joke or proof that we don't advertise our Twitter handle enough.
Did Lyons just say "beat off"?
I'm worried Vin has more than just a cold.
^ re: "beat off," not Vin
@sosgsosg
Me too Orel, I just didn't want to be the first one to say it...
I hear Lyons is saying some really stupid stuff.
I mean, more so than usual.
Everyone has a Twitter.
nice play Deezer!
Dee Gordon starts the 6-4 DP!
Heads up play, Dee!
Dee-ouble play!
woohoo Dee!
Dee-yam!
Meant to point out that last night on a fan cam moment, they showed a guy who had a replica jersey with "Nancy Bea" as the name on the jersey, and the number 88. Strong!
This Kemp kid. He's going to be good some day.
attaboy, Matty
FYFST
something's cooking!
Dee looks sleepy
#ContractYear
Andre, the lefty-killer!
Woooo DRE!!!
What makes me uneasy is that Lyons predicted Dre's at bat. He kind of called Dre's homer yesterday too
If Ned Colletti is smart, he'll sign Andre Ethier to a series of eight one-year contracts.
Got something going here, lads. Let's pour it on and get home.
damn - that was lucky
they've had a few lucky catches this game
COL 16, SF 8, bot 7. Is Aaron Gleeman forgiven?
At least Urine didn't it into a DP.
^ hit
Matt Kemp was NL Player of the Week.
Juan Uribe was weak.
Loney GS opportunity!
Bills done at only 77 pitches.
I will never EVER forgive Aaron Gleeman!
He knows what he did...
Bills looked pissed.
I don't like where this is going.
Bringing in the left handed pitcher to face Loney.
At this point I think a no hander could get Loney out.
I swear, if Donnie swaps Loney for Kennedy, I will punch a wall.
(wall breathes sigh of relief)
Come on, rBI Loney from a few seasons ago!
sad trombone
PATHETIC AB.
I think Bills would have had a better aback at it.
Totally worth taking out Bills.
BORING!!!!
Tim Lincecum sporting the 12.91 ERA.
Gnite all. I need bed, plus I can't stand watching Matt GuhRear (I still can't believe he's wearing #55)
Bring this home, fellas!
Whew. Thought Barajas got all of that.
Nite, FB!
We'll take it from here, FB!
Nite John-boy!
WEB GEM!
MEllis with the great catch!
Mellis levitates!
Mellis?
Nice recovery from a rough start, GBA singer!
Where the Yokos tonight? It's a SoSG-fest in here.
A wabbit is loose!
We at least need Spanky in drag or something.
Dee-ouble!
What happened to Karen?
Karen has been here a time or two already this season. Just not tonight. We're missing Karina and MB, though. And Stubbs.
Am I not feminine enough for you, Dusty?
Oh, burn on Stubbs!
You are, Marla, you are.
Gordon shoulda ran on that blocked ball by Barajas!
I seriously would have thrown my tv out the window if the kings hadn't scored on that five minute major.
KINGS!!
The common K-on-WP-SB combo.
Lyons kind of called Kemp's K there.
Rivera quietly getting in on the RBI chase!
RBI Machine!
And Steiner had no idea what the call at the plate was. Lyons smarter than Steiner. Wow.
This is not new to me, but need to reiterate: Damn I love some Rivera. THis offense got better (wasn't hard to do, admittedly) last season when Rivera came on and this season he's come up huge. Let's hope he stays healthy.
TGJ knocks one in! 4-1 Dodgers!
Runny goodness!
Gwynn ribee!
Beard hair don't care!!
I love two out madness.
Seriously the Kings always give up a bad goal right before the period ends.
Hockey score?
2-2 at 2nd int
Kings will blow it, always do.
That's keeping your chin up, Nic!
Kenley's grooving.
I'm an abused Kings fan.
I think, over the last two+ years, every Kings fan is abused.
I can't wait for St. Louis to sweep San Jose though. That will be fantastic.
To revisit an earlier topic: The Rickies did score their 16th run in the 5th, making Aaron Gleeman's tweet 100% accurate.
Jansen Ks the side!
Mr. Gleeman has been exonerated!
Heh. Rickies.
Whomever that two-bit writer is, he is exonerated.
Gin Rickies all around!
RE: Aaron Gleeman's tweet, i blame ESPN's statistician
Your Honors, they didnt put up the 7 spot when I checked it, i swear!
Exonerated, in the Ryan Braun sense.
Loney still scuffling.
This Hughes dude seems way douchey.
IP,O!
on a side not Buster Posey has herpes...Herpes zoster that is AKA shingles...not surprised, it is San Fran after all...
Dee Gordon just manufactured a hit out of that routine grounder.
Fast!
Error!
Close yer mouth, Hughes!
I seen it on the Twitters that folks were making fun of his having shingles. I haven't ever had shingles, but have several family members who have, and it was described as one of the most painful things they've ever gone through. So I ain't saying shit about Oyster Pubes and will try to keep my karma in balance that way.
SB #5
Dee Gordon 5-6 in SBs.*
*He was safe that other time, too.
On pace for 135 steals.
Thievery!
That pitcher really wants to get DG out. You can see it in his eyes.
Mellis isn't long for the two hole.
my Posey karma chameleon tally sheet has been fucked since I memorialized him in my avatar...
For the love of god, please make the Three Stooges movie go away.
^
@Alex
Well, in for a penny, in for a pound, right?
coincidentally Posey got the herp by pounding penny....
AYYOOOOOO
hey, we're winning!
come on javy
Javy K for the final out! DODGERS WIN
WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Two series wins.
5-1 start. I'll take it.
Keep piling up them W's, fellers!
later gators
PGTUP!
