Ted Lilly (3-0, 1.38) vs. Barry Zito (1-0, 1.76).
Opening day is here! That is, the home opening day of the Guggenheim Era. Now everyone can stop pretending to like Frank McCourt, and it's time for the Dodgers to start kicking ass for Magic & Co. Appropriately, the Dodgers (18-10) will be taking on the second-place Giants (14-14) for the first time this year. And, in the first of what is sure to be a series of endlessly classy moves, Magic Johnson will escort Rachel Robinson onto the Dodger Stadium field for pre-game ceremonies, and Dodger great Don Newcombe will throw out the first pitch. Beating the Giants to start this new chapter in Dodger history would be only fitting.

Kemp!
RAUL E GEEK
Kemp! Then Ethier! Versus a lefty!
Let's turn these motherfuckers out!
Kenley Jansen is now the closer.
Jansen it is. The kid from that tiny ass country whose spelling I'm always unsure of because I only have ever typed it twice in my life.
This is not the year of the closer.
@Dusty
Thanks to the dessicated corpse of colonialism, you can always just go with "The Netherlands"
coor-a-sow
Who the hell is Kenley Jansen?
Have I mentioned the Giants suck? Well they do.
I do not much care for the cut of their jib.
I know that Blue Curaçao is an important ingredient in margaritas I order to celebrate particularly important Dodgers or Chelsea victories
Oh my god, why don't we start a blog about how much we hate the Gnats and how much thu suck!
Wait, we already did that.
^they
Thu sucks too.
@Dusty
The citrus flavor and extraneous blue coloring are a little dissonant, but it has a cedilla, so I'll allow it.
and to bring it back to the Avengers, I like mixing vodka, orange juice, then blue curaçao to make what I call an Incredible Hulk
Getting smashed was never so literal!
HULK BLOTTO, NEED CHIPS TO COUNTERACT SWEET-ASS DRINK!
Zito vs Lilly. Get ready for some heat tonight boys.
Epale from the former Mannywood!
i need to move out of sticks.

Papelgone.
Magic was telling Matty what to do tonight
Dodgers taking the field to No Sleep til Brooklyn!!!
Keep that Sons streak alive, DB and Nomo!
DB must be enjoying No Sleep Til Brooklyn pumping on the PA
Nice start.
good inning, Teodoro
Zito walked 7 in last start. Take some pitches boys.
"The Giants fail to score, as they do so often"
Damn, Vinny tells it like it is!
nice work, Dee
Damn...
christ - that happens way too often
Dee's going to have to learn some craftiness in addition to just the pure afterburners approach
Dee might be the slowest fast dude ever
Matty with the dunker!
Kemp looks a little gimpy.
That CS really hurts now
I think Rivera owes us a homerun here.
46
I have a good feeling about this.
That was pretty cool.
Siddown!
Woo Hoo! Vin on the radio.
2Breu
Lovely!
Double down Abreau
I didn't notice before but is Abreu really wearing 23?
Abreu was wearing 33 in Chicago.
cmon, Juanny, you don't have to swing at all of his pitches
FUribe.
yuck
Come on. don't waste the double.
At least they get Lilly out of the way for the third.
fudge - he whacked that too
Ted's staying alive.
That was no strike.
oh well
Good AB Ted. Love how far he chokes up on that bat.
booolshit - he called that strike as it left Zito's hand
you better be giving that strike to Lilly, too, you punk b
Juan Uribe must be stopped
@Sax, just throw him pitches
wack
Yeah, that was a passed ball.
dammit
way too many wild pitches and passed balls lately. This was a problem last year too with AJ
That steal's on Lilly. His delivery was too damn slow.
nice work, Mellis
STOP BUNTING, DEE
Mellis double!
Mellis
Old Man Ellis!
Waddup?!?!
Rancho Juaniendo
I'll take that run.
#RBIMachine
Why is Oyster Pubes playing first?
Should have been better but I will take it
@Sax because he's the best up-and-coming catcher in baseball!
If that's the only way we can score runs here, we are in trouble. We will lose this game.
Pubey's getting the day off, Russell Martin style.
@FB we need to bum rush him at first
Btw FB, I assume you have MLB.tv?
@MLASC #RBIMachine, the same way an inclined plane or a pulley is also considered a machine
@Sax, yes I do. In past years I used it to watch games on my computer but we got a Roku a few months back and there is an MLB.TV app for it so I can watch on a real TV now
nice lilly
Do not operate heavy machinery.
I hate seeing all that red inside Staples Center.
@FB: Roku. Now THAT is a machine.
Lills worked it back from 3-0 to get the K. Nice!
ok gotta hit the hay, gnite all
Clips by 8 early in the second qtr
FB? What? Boooooooooo

Stoopid Urine
Uribe K, what a goddamn surprise
Fuuuuuuuuck.
Sax isn't bitter.
Charlie Steiner gave the score. Do I win a prize?
Lob Shitty
That was a load of fail for Dee.
That was embarrassing.
What the hell?
We got out of that mess unscathed.
Dee, what the fuck?!
Well he is fast. That is about it these days.
Beast Mode never sleeps.
Epale ya'll. Just checking in to say that the Giants SUCK!
Dee Gordon = Juan Pierre Redux?
Beast Mode is not perfect.
Juan Pierre was left-handed.
Beast mode was just caught sleeping
Beautiful pitch.
Not a good game for AJ behind the plate.
Le sigh.
Sheet
Fuck you, Giants.
We got this.
(cries)
Urine owes us a HR against the giants.
Urine works a walk. So that means Jellis will homer on the first pitch, right?
Ajellis!
Woot!
Jellis!
AAAAAAY JAAAAAAY!
I almost called it.
WASH YER HAIR, ZITO!
Wooooooohooooo! 3-1!
Nice gift!
Mo runs
I like where this is going!
Lucky. 0 for Dee.
The Riot at second base, ladies and gentlemen.
Seriously, who wears the number 75 in baseball. Dumbass.
"Conor Gillaspie doing the best he can, but that's not much" - Vin Scully.
First pitch fastball right up there. Dammit. Let's get two now.
Bah.
And just FYI, the Phoenix Coyotes are 6 minutes away from taking game 5 and ensuring a Phoenix-LA Kings Western Conference Final.
Unstoppable
Coyote Season!
Three hits and a walk for Kemp.
Wow, that is indeed beast mode.
I think the supermoon is effecting all this crappy play.
That was quite an ill-advised throw, I must say
I'll take it.
Why is FJL entering?
And on his birthday, James...
Laughing time is over. Loney up.
...grounds to short. Happy Birthday!
Crying time. Urine up.
Loney and then Urine. My god.
I don't see Urine at the plate anymore. He is replaced in my mind with 21 million dollars on fire.
Arrgggggghhhhh
Nothing kills a Dodgers hit parade like FJL and Urine
Sax isn-
Ah, fuck it.
Throw strikes Bloomers.
It's official, the Kings play Phoenix in the Conference Finals. They're already chanting, "Beat L.A.". How original.
FJL!
Ok, that was a sweet play.
At least Loney can still field.
Holy shit James!
Birfday!
Admittedly, that was a sweet play by FJL.
We love you, James!
Kings were 3-1-2 against Phoenix during the regular season.
Sax ISN'T bitter!!!
Let's go AJellis!
@Sax - But Hank Schulman does think you're one of the worst fans in baseball.
I like Theriot.
AJellis! Let's roll these mofos this inning.
Call to the bullpen
Sax call to the post-workout shower
This is good.
Fuck Bunts!!!!
I like Loney, I just wish he didn't suck so horribly. Always had a good glove, though.
Keystone Light isn't bitter!
Let's blow this shit right up!
Can I get a....?
Rancho Bartendiendo
Kennedy on deck. Buzzkill.
Could someone describe Pubes' error? I missed it
As it turns out...the Giants really DO suck!
It seems only fair to counter with Adam ".115" Kennedy.
Love the guy in the blue blanket behind home plate who jumped up at the last second to give Blackley the late jitters on that 3-0 pitch. Blackley throws another ball and walks in a run.
On second goance, that guy might ave been Javy Guerra in a snuggle.
Yahoo Mofos!
Even Kennedy can get a hit
Sax call to the refrigerator for a beef
I like runs!
FUCK YEAH!!!
Beer
Beat down!!
Huzzah! 'Dre Day!
Ethier with a two RBI single!
And there's no one out!,,
i thought Saxy was about to snap into a slim jim
Boooooooom
Supermoon rocks
The wheels are really coming off.
I am drinking the beer that my fellow Sons at the game cannot order at this point
A toast to my brethren!
Giants, you let Adam Kennedy score for Pete's sake
Rout City
Asahi, for those scoring at home
DODGER FANS BOO THEN CHEER. WORST FANS EVA.
HR by FJL would fucking rock. I would streak outside
I hope Dusty hasn't torn his jacket.
Just to be clear, Paul, they're awful because they do both.
Love your defense James!
