Aaron Harang (0-1, 6.23 ERA) vs. Clayton Richard (1-0, 0.00 ERA)
The season is barely a week old and we're already getting a rerun? What's happening?! I thought it was sweeps!
Clayton Richard's dominant start last Sunday has been the only hiccup in the Dodgers' red hot 2012 start, so maybe they can get a little revenge tonight. It would be nice if Harang could go the distance, keeping the game out of the hands of the...ahem...less reliable relievers, and giving Javy Guerra a much needed day off. Javy's 5 saves in 5 tries is great and all, but we'd like to keep his arm from falling off before May.
As of this writing, it's been dumping down rain in L.A. all day (It does happen!), threatening to wash out the first Friday Night Fireworks of the year. (Look for more hilarious attendance jokes on Twitter...if the game itself isn't postponed.) I guess it's up to the Dodger bats to light up the night. With only one home run from someone not named Kemp or Ethier so far, we're due for some big blasts. Maybe from James Loney, who finally broke through with a hi... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Sorry, I couldn't finish that thought with a straight face.

A Rerun reference?
What's Happening?
Hey Hey Hey!
My great-uncle Eldbridge Stubbs was rumored to be quite the Lothario, so there could be some relation.
I was only familiar with your third cousin T. Kit Stubbs.
I think the rain is finally letting up.

Present. for how long?
Per AP:
WILMINGTON, Del. — A bankruptcy court judge in Delaware agreed Friday to the Los Angeles Dodgers' plan to sell the team for $2 billion, setting the team up to exit bankruptcy.
The decision by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross came at the conclusion of a two-part morning and evening hearing he called a "doubleheader."
The judge approved Dodgers owner Frank McCourt's plan to sell the team to Guggenheim Baseball Management, a group that includes former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson. Mark Walter, chief executive officer of the financial services firm Guggenheim Partners, would become the controlling owner, and the team would be run by former Atlanta Braves president Stan Kasten.
Both Kasten and McCourt were in court Friday. The sale is set to close by April 30, the day McCourt is to make a $131 million payment to former wife Jamie as part of their divorce.
The Dodgers entered bankruptcy in June 2011 during a bitter dispute with Major League Baseball. At the time, baseball Commissioner Bud Selig refused to approve a new TV deal with Fox Sports that the team was counting on in order to make payroll and keep the franchise solvent.
After the bankruptcy filing, Selig's attorneys successfully fought to force the Dodgers to accept bankruptcy financing from Major League Baseball. The team and league reached an agreement last year authorizing the team's sale and a process to market the media rights to games starting in 2014.
Friday's hearing helped resolve a number of lingering issues ahead of the team's sale. Fox, the team's current broadcaster, had wanted written assurance that competitor Time Warner Cable was not contributing funds being used for the purchase. Lawyers for the Dodgers agreed to do that.
Friday's hearing dragged into the evening, however, as lawyers for the Dodgers and Major League Baseball sparred over the information being given to the league about the plan. A lawyer for Major League Baseball said the league has issues with the plan and is owed more information. A Dodgers lawyer said the team has met all the criteria to have the plan confirmed, and the judge agreed.
The judge called the prospective new owners an "outstanding group."
Epale everyone!
Fucking Harang!
Epale Karina

I've got something brewing. I need to go check it and see if it's ready to bottle.
Meanwhile, i'm waiting the Marlins-Astros game is finished so i can watch the Dodgers game
*cries*
cc Dusty I think i'll drop work for this day now
Relax Harang!! It's just a bunt!!! I hope this doesn't spill over to his pitching....
Damn, the park looks pretty empty.
Work the walk, Mellis.
Two runs score!!! 2-0 to the Blue!
RUN(S)
That's some crafty running, AJ!
Fuck yeah mofos. that's what i call hustle. 2-0 dodgers
Stubbs, don't make me come over there.
Dusty, I am with you: Stubbs, don;t make me come over there!
show'em your power, Juancito Trucupei Rivera
It's not so bad, Dusty. It's easier to find the unicorns.
@K
For the record, it's cloudy, windy, will be under 50 degrees by middle of the game, and periodic raining. Not good baseball weather, thus affecting the crowd.
It should clear up tomorrow so I'm expecting a solid crowd for the first weekend homestand.
KINGS!
Rancho ardiendo!
'Dre time?
Kings 1-0!
I, for one, did not forget about Dre.
Rancho 'Drediendo
HIYAAAAAA
4-0!
(Dodgers not Kings)
Andre!
Fuck the Gnats!
Just had to be Uribe.....
Holee shit, what's going on? Four small-ball runs and Cy Harang on the mound???
meh,he's cold
Balls.
What a weird-ass fucking game...
Honeycutt must have jinxed him.....
Harang is pressing.
Harang deserves an ovation. Also, it was my fault, game was on by the bottom of the 4th
Showing the tarp now. That's one lonely tarp, most of the time.
Definitely pressing.
Thanks for swinging on the first pitch after the last guy went 10 pitches, Hermida.
Honey is like, that's who the fuck I thought you were.
@Spank - Sellers was too busy thinking of ways to honor Harang's start through a tattoo.
Oh...Harang just showed back up...FRACK!
Sellers was trying to look back the runner, I guess, then panicked when he kept on running.
Seller's going get a tat for every hit this season, Zsasz style.
LHWGs getting it done tonight.
Ajellis looks good tonight.
10 Ks for Harang through four innings! But he's only up 4-3
Make that 5-3
Oh shit, Kings!!
Make that 6-3.
what happened? i was watching Gasol miss three pointers.
TGJ with the RBI.
KEMP!!
FYFST
Mattycakes!!!! B
Matt Kemp. I mean, holy shit.
Kemp bomb!!! 8-3 good guys
Juan Uribe.
"You may now eat the bride."
Uribe, first pitch GIDP
Uribe you suuuuuuuuuuuck
KKKKKKKKKKKK
12 K's for Harang.
Sit down mofo.
Lucky number 13.
Holy shit, Harang is on fire
Did he set a dodger record for consecutive Ks?
Pay attention Saxie...he set it at 9
Hey man, I'm so drunk I'm lucky I'm typing complete and coherent thoughts here ghjudvb grfhrt
Sorry, I just read that comment I wrote and it IS a might brusque...
@ Saxy
yeah fool. pay attention,mutt.
Charley, on Urine chasing a foul ball: "Uribe will run out of room."
I thought Uribe never runs out of room.
What's up SoSG?! Checking in from Coachella! Am I reading this right? 12 Ks for Harang? Plus a 2 run bomb from KEMvP? Let's keep it going!
Don't take the brown acid!
@Sax - What's so coherent about them?
Standing O for Harang!
Cafe is going to have a stroke running to the mound like that.
THE ULLLLLLLTIMATE WARRIOR!!!!
Are you freezing your ass off, Alex?
BOOOOOO!
Coffey's pitching is not as cool as his entrance music.
Dylan Hernandez says Vin probably won't be back tomorrow.
Trying not to worry.
I'd love if they had a live feed from Coachella but I can't see myself getting out there in the weather. I love not camping.
^ I also couldn't stand the hipster quotient.
Todd Coffey: fast out of the gate, slow to start the season.
@ Orel
Me too
@ Spank HUGE BOO!
Geez, Coffey! Why is the tying run at the plate?
Aren't they streaming Coachella on youtube? they always do.
i live less than an hour from Coachella but i refuse to go. Too many out of towners. haha.
Mazzy Star?
GameDay audio with a serious lag here
I've never been to Coachella because I have never wanted to go.
Morton should mine Elbert's cap for salt.
Hey, you know who's available?
KENLEY JANSEN
Marla, you need to take your medicine again.
So does Elbert, who walks in a run. 8-5 LA
Coachella kinda sounds like Coalinga except less fun...(insert stupid smiley here)
Shit it gets worse. 8-6 due to a Headley sac fly
I'm waiting for Fred Berry to come back from the dead and start locking.
I'm sitting at home watching MLBNetwork and it's still 8-4 good guys...wtf is up with OUR feed in norcal?
Peeking in on the AZ @ COL game. It's funny that the GameDay Coors Field stands are only half-full
Holy balls! The Kings game has me nervous. Harang had 13 K's?
@Sax
I wonder if all the sarcasto-journalists who cover COL will Tweet derisive comments and pictures of the half-full stands?
I think it's final, COL 7, AZ 6
Dodgers are the only one-loss team
In the majors, as of this second at least.
We're only in the 7th? This game seems slow.
Without Vin.
KINGS SCOOOOOOOOORE!
I like Kevin Kennedy, but I don't know that I want him as the full-time color guy for the radio broadcasts.
Nice. They kept pitching Kemp down in away and he took all four balls (pitches 1 2 4 and 5) for the walk.
WooHoo Kings!
Sacramento?
Damn, Kemp.
No one fakes out the first baseman in a rundown. At least make him throw the ball!
That's the only bad thing I can say about Kemp tonight.
8-6 Dodgers through 7
Dustin Brown with the hat trick!
Kings up 3-1, 9:55 left in the third
Loney sighting!
Not at the plate, though
Fuck me. Come on,Elbert.
Fuck, leadoff double for Hermida
What is up with Elbert this season?
Just reading the earlier comments. I love it how no one could believe Harang managed that strikeout total that he did...not even those actually watching him do it.
That was a terrible power play.
@ Beefpile
Harang was very stealth about it. i think he was using voodoo.
Lindblom for Elbert
Hmm, I could go for an iced coffee.
Keep us posted on the Kings game, Mr LA SC!
Lindblom will retire all three batters he faces and then he will be optioned to Triple-A.
Hudson pops to short, one away
How does Doughty go to the box? He didn't do anything. Fucking Canucks.
Fucking Clowe.
Generous called strike 1 there on Baker
K. Two outs.
We out that inning fellas.
Kings power play.
Four straight tweets in my time line from Eric Stephen, Tony Jackson, Dylan Hernandez, and Jimmy Bramlett re: announced attendance. I took a screen shot.
Lindblom gets us out of the jam! Way to go Josh!
Hmm, I could go for another iced coffee.
KINGS!!!! 4-1!
KINGS SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!
@Dusty: that's because McCourt is saving on money by disconnecting the PA system in the press box. Now, they just pass stats down press row via "telephone" person-to-person whispers.
Ethier had a 3-0 count and popped to first. Damn.
He's batting like Uribe is batting behind him.
Uribe, working a nice appetite from his 0-for-4, 3 LOB, 1 GIDP performance tonight.
Sellers hanging tough here in this AB
4-1 Kings? Wow. That would make it 2-0 up, right?
Sellers pulling a New Kids on the Block.
2-goal lead for the Kings, 2-run lead for the Dodgers. Step on their necks, boys! Finish 'em off!
Couver's got an empty net going with just under two minutes to go.
C'mon, Scuderi. Don't be stupid.
6-4 advantage for the Canucks to finish regulation.
An empty netter would be sweet.
Nice 11-pitch AB there by Sellers, though it was wasted by the Dodgers. Alas.
Bob Miller's losing his voice. I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself if I miss out on both Vinny and Miller.
Lakers are doing all right without Kobe.
Over! Kings beat Canucks 4-2, take 2 game to none lead heading back to LA!
Lakers score?
Kings!
Jansen with a leadoff walk to start the ninth
Not nervous yet. Come on KJ!
Kings!
103 - 97 Lakers. seconds remain.
3-pitch K for out #1
Ken Lee!
Reys!
Black Keys just now took the stage a second ago on the live YouTube feed.
Hedley
Another 3-pitch K for out #2
200
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
There goes the PGT!
Aw shit.
Whatever, Kings won.
Sweet shit-sucking jesus.
Well, that's bad.
Tie game, T9.
Steinered.
Way to steal that win from Harang.
Jesus fucking christ man. WTF KJ?
Shades of 2011.
Well, I guess I had to expect it. For a couple of days it was like some kind of bizarro world where my teams just couldn't lose. I'm just not used to that shit.
haha
Come on, KJ
TIME FOR THE WALKOFF MOFOS
