Game 8 Thread: April 13 vs. Padres, 7p

"Rerun" Stubbs, not to be confused with SoSG Stubbs.


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.

Steve Sax said...

Rick Monday with the brilliant insight that the Dodgers need this out to get to the ninth and have a chance to win it with one run.

No shit, Rick

Dusty Baker said...

This game is straight pissing me off.

Steve Sax said...

Okay, let's go bottom of the ninth folks

Dusty Baker said...

These broadcasters are straight pissing me off, too.

Steve Sax said...

Dodgers: 9-Gwynn-Mellis in the ninth

Dusty Baker said...

Wow, the Three Stooges looks like a fresh, updated take on an old classic!

*shoots self*

spank said...

Can Rick Monday be a son of Steve Garvey?

Dusty Baker said...

Naw, DeeG is in now.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Dee Gordon will hit a walk-off inside-the-park homer.

Steve Sax said...

Cory Booker is frickin' unreal. Wow.

spank said...

Dee's been swinging for the fences lately. Bunt that mofo,swag.

Steve Sax said...

(Go Cardinal!)

Dusty Baker said...

Who is this Andrew Cashner douche? Put a trucker cap on him and he looks like the jackhole who walked through the don't walk light tonight in Echo Park while I was driving home; I nearly hit the hip piece of shit.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

C'mon, Dee.

Dusty Baker said...

Surly factor: +4

Drunk factor: 0

Cliff Beefpile said...

Dee Gordon looks like he weighs as much as his bat.

Steve Sax said...

I can't wait for this weekend to pass so I don't have to watch Three Stooges promos anymore

Orel said...

Dusty is extra surly tonight.

spank said...

Will Sasso would have hit that.

Steve Sax said...

I call a Kemp GW2B but he will get picked off as well

Steve Sax said...

Of course, SD will pitch around Kemp to get to .050 Loney

Cliff Beefpile said...

He's not gonna get anything to hit here.

spank said...

oooo i thought he would swing at ball three.

Orel said...

Loney walkoff? Loney walkoff.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's up to...

Loney.

(gags)

Cliff Beefpile said...

Maybe Loney's still reeling from that "blow to the head" he took in his car accident.

Steve Sax said...

Surprise me, Loney

spank said...

oh no! not loney.
