Ted Lilly (0-0, -.--) vs. Joe Wieland (0-0, -.--).
First, the bad news: Vin Scully's unlikely to return for this game. He'd hate us making a fuss about him, so we'll just leave it at that.
Apparently, all Saturday home games this season start at 6:10 p.m., presumably to accommodate folks who have to wake up early on Sundays, like church janitors and brunch chefs.
Ted Lilly comes off the DL to start tonight's game, which means someone got optioned or put on the DL. My guess is Todd Coffey to the DL.
In a shocking development, former Stone Temple Pilots lead singer Wieland has forsaken the rock 'n' roll world to become a pitcher for the Padres. No word on whether his bandmates will replace him, or become relief pitchers.
UPDATE: Great news! Vin's back tomorrow!

Putting the B in Bums.
I bet Kennedy gets a gritty RBI.
This enormous catcher will devour us all!
Seriously, this is the lineup for the first Saturday home game of the season? Treanor is a real draw!
Two Gs, two Ks, two Ls.
Josh Lindblom will be sticking around for at least another 15 days. Todd Coffey to the DL.
Does suck-ass fatso qualify him for DL?
If so, put me on the DL.
@Dusty 3:12p: I thought the same re: the photo--
"Ellis really has to cut back on the HGH."
Coffey grounded.
Great article on Nancy Be a and her husband in the LA Times. I ain't gonna link it, though, cause I don't want to enable Plaschke/Voldemort.
Wearing my Los DOyers t-shirt tonight (over thermals of course) with my #42 cap. I'm ready to go to the yard now but Mrs Dusty is still "doing chores" and "getting things done" and "walking the dogs" and crap like that. Pfffffffffttttt.
BREAKING: Vinny is back tomorrow.
Was thinking of going to the game, but I'd rather sit on the sofa and listen to Vin.
Cody Ross just took one over the Green Monster.
But can he do it on one knee like ABeltre did?
Post updated with great news!

Good atmosphere in the Yard tonight. Shhhhh....I don't think most people know that our junior varsity team is playing tonight.
FJL as a starter is the giveaway
But why isn't Urine in this lineup?
Dee Gordon error gives the pods a run in the first.
Kemp! 2-run bomb
Fuck yeah motherfuckers!
B2BHR!
Loney double!
Loney with a double! That's like a home run for him!
Bison power!
Dre power!
Hey, this is fun! 4-1 Dodgers, even Loney has a run
JV team > triple A pitcher
I love how pumped Bison was after Dre's HR.
Looks like we put another sitting gentleman on the board!
Well that didn't suck.
And cheers to our boys at the park.
Still no home runs allowed by Lilly. This is a lot like the way Harrumph pitched last night.
So much for the B-lineup.
Matt Kemp is awesome.
Matt Kemp is the Robin van Persie of baseball.
He scores when he wants.
Holee shee-it! Beast Mode is engaged!
There's the Loney we know and love.
Guess Nomo was #30,001 through the turnstiles.
The Pods are so mad at Kemp, they plunk Hairston.
Nomo needs to streak the field in protest.
(covers eyes)
It's true: Matt Treanor's walk-up music is the theme from "The A-Team."
Jerry Hairston, OBP Machine.
Mrs Dusty: "people are going to fear us now"
Loney hit streak stops at one
Matt Treanor now known as "The Face"
Kemp is so good, he can turn the wrong way before he catches a fly ball.
Lilly pretty solid so far.
Kemp has to challenge himself, the game is so easy for him.
OH COME ON KEMP
Kidding!
Guerra acted like the Dodgers were going to withhold his green card in that sleeved blanky promo.
Now if the giveaway tonight was a Nancy Bea bobblehead, I'd be in there like swimwear.

Please fasten your seatbelts, we're going to the pen.
Next inning. It's what I get for listening to Uncle Charley.
Rbn is back...from the future!
O-Dog still flashing the leather!
Very astute of Lyons to immediately note Gordon broke the wrong way on that infield single.
Dylan Hernandez tweets that Dodger Stadium is "filled up nicely."
Dylan Hernandez had a positive tweet re: attendance!

(insert Neeebs' mom joke here)
I'm upgrading Lilly to cruising. 79 pitches through seven.
I think the LFP's servers will crash if Lilly goes the distance.
NO NOT MACDOUGAL FUCK IT DONNIE TED'S OLD HE CAN HANDLE TWO MORE FUCKING INNINGS
Kemp singles. Think he's going here?
He is not going here.
Did Dusty and Nomo appear on the KissCam?
Today's attendance is 46,549.
2 Ks for MacDougal.
How do you not pick off Loney that far off the bag? Ah well good for us.
Winning time!
I wish we picked up Grabow.
PGTUP!
The padres are bad...ahh well good for us!!
Make that party!!!
