Chad Billingsley (2-2, 3.19) vs. Tim Lincecum (2-2, 5.68).
For the rubber match of this series, we've got the thighs of Chad Billingsley going against the hair of Tim Lincecum (pictured, above). Bills has had four starts with only two or fewer ER, but two bad losses where he didn't look like himself. Lincecum, on the other hand, has had only two of six starts with two or fewer ER; he has been lit up for 5+ earned runs in half of his starts this year.
We'll need the win to take the series, so I guess the question is, Will the thighs have (Cousin) It?

Bunting and Ajellis 8th: Two frustrating Mattingly decisions we're just gonna have to live with.
I like AJ 8th. I don't want to mess with a good thing.
I think Donnie was trolling everyone when he used RBI to support his decision in the eighth yesterday.
This lineup makes me sad.
I hope the lineup comes up with little white flags on the ends of their bats
Thanks to Juan Rivera going to the DL, Matt Treanor, Adam Kennedy and Dee Gordon have the worst OBPs of all the position players on the active roster.
AND TWO OF THOSE THREE ARE LEADING OFF.
SCOTT VAN SLYKE WILL SAVE US.
If we lose, it's Ajellis' fault.
Read line-up.
*cries*
Scott Van Slyke is the future savior of our organization.
*continues crying*
Accuscore (ESPN) gives us a 63% chance of winning tonight's game.
--> we're definitely losing
Goddamn Kennedy. How I loathe him.
On the other hand, I have beer sausage. (Not the euphemistic kind).
Also, beer.
I need to go get me some beer. Back on the GT in a while, crocodiles
epale everyone!
@Sax who cares about ESPN Accuscore? I say they have 100% chance to win
I say they have 15% chance of a 100% chance of winning!
@Karina
I think the last few seasons have made us manic/depressive fans.
If they won the previous game, we feel like we're indestructible. I they lost the last game, they're doomed to eternal failure.
But I agree, they have 100% chance to win. Gotta play 9 innings to find out if it will hold up.
I have sauerkraut breath.
Good thing I'm on the road, or I'd be sleeping on the couch tonight.
"Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that”
@Stubbs - I'd rather play 8 and a half.
@Marla
May it be so.
I believe KarinaScore.
@ Paul 6:19pm
But there is only a 5% chance of that 15% happening
60% of the time, it works every time.
We need a beaning here.
Ankle high
The view from the suites ain't bad. But the suite next to me is full of Gnats fans.
Oh good, Adamn Kennedy's on deck.
Man, Quad...it's like that for me EVERY day living up here. Just tell em to eat some rice-a-roni
yay,dee
Dee-structive.
How do you walk Kennedy?
Oh, of fucking course.
BOOOOO!
I want runs, dammit.
It's all up to Abreu
Hotel showing only the Clipper game.
Fuck you, travel.
Goddamn that was an ugly K
Okay, Czar...I'll take that throw
'Bout time
Nice throw out by AJellis
Men at the corners for Timmah
Charley with a looooot of pitches thrown
I think I need to get good and drunk, then make sure I didn't fuck up tomorrow's PCS. Maybe not in that order.
goddammit
There's a PCS tomorrow? WHEN WILL IT END?
@marla
You're telling me...
Broxton has the first two runners on in the top of 9th....He isn't pitching here.
Well that is my positive post for the night.
All these stupid injuries mean more wasted at bats by this turd.
And this bum.
"All these stupid injuries mean more wasted at bats by this turd."
More specific, please.
you suck Urine
Urine K, Loney with an infield groundout
Someone stop this!!!!!
Are there outfield groundouts?
Are we going to lose 1-0 today?
Devo and horse racing. I'm there.
I say 5-0.
Not a good start Chadley
That tricky centerfield wall with all its....wall.
@Marla: I bet Urine could get an outfield groundout
I walked into that one.
This one is over.
2 runs down feels like 6.
Bills is a great no. 4 guy.
Huh.
SWEET PLAY
Holy flying fuck, that was close!
Timmeh's Gameday pic is so emo, it looks like a Nirvana cover.
Or whatever the hell emo kids listen to these days.
Don't waste that lead-off hit, dammit!
OH GOOD BUNTING WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET
Kids these days with the clothes and the hair and the music.
le sigh.
That is why Dee should only bunt.
They're booing the Giants for turning the DP.
I hate this team.
Both of them.
GOOD LORD ADAM KENNEDY
GAHD DAMN BUNTS!
DeePee
Kennedy with a bloop single. He's on fire.
One swing by Kemp ties the game.
Le sigh.
There goes our shot.
oh well
He's not Tim Lincecum, he's Captain Lachrymose!
Great, now we have to wait until the sixth to get another base runner on.
Chad is reverting to the Chad I remember
RISP for the Giants
Only dodgers with 4HR in a game
One is obviously Green
Right?
Have we scored yet?
Of course, Gil Hodges (1950)
@Sax
Kennedy's getting 4 HR tonight.
Sean Green
^shawn
@Nomes, if "HR" stands for Hit Rightbacktothepitcher, possibly
I would love it if Kennedy gets four more at-bats in this game. That would mean other guys are at least getting on base.
I feel like the slow cell connection guy in the commercial.
Shonn
Jamey Wright is loosening up, in the fourth inning no less?
That's like batting Adam Kennedy second, .... wait a minute.
Sh'n
Jamie Wright is warming up in the bullpen.
AT LEAST THAT MAKES THE DP MUCH LESS LIKELY!
Let's go, washed up Angel guy!
Oh well, it was nice getting two runners on. Here comes the three outs.
Go, notKemps!
Oh yeah, Uribe's go a little extra padding, all right, Vin
^got
I have something resembling-but-not-quite-faith in Uribe.
How many outs will urine register here?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
E) 27
F) none of the above!!!!
Holy shit!
I'll chalk that one up to my not-quite-faith.
URINAY!
Sweet elbow drop by Arias.
WOOT!
Now Mattingly can't bunt. Right?
bunt
Why are you swinging for that, Loney? Lean into a damn pitch!
Loney K
Should of bunted.
Is that old lady going to call into dodgertalk and cry about people being mean to Loney again?
Loney sucks
Looney.
K Mr. AJ superstar.
Wait, is my feed slow?
Workin the count.
I've got a 3-2 count
@nicj 8:42p: that caller is me on helium
Worst catcher ever.
Nice AB.
AJ works the walk, chad is pulled
Please. Real players hit doubles.
Bunt Time!
Hey Timmy, U Jellis?
How can chad be pissed about being pulled? He's at 85 pitches for Pete's sake
Chad angry.
And he's all over the board
um...squeeze? thats a bunt, right?
Maybe he knows tony Gwynn is going to GIDP
Chad felt he still had a few batter to walk.
0-2 to gwynn
Come on Gwynn.
0-2 to gwynn?
0-2 to gwynn.
Gwynn is hacking up there
Go go go!!!!!
clear the bases
Holy shit Gwynn!!!
Whoo hoo!
OMG! OMG!
I.
WILL.
TAKE.
IT!
That's what happens when you don't bunt!
"Excellent" - Mr Burns
That's what I'm talkin bout...Jints announcer tools are saying it's Timmeh's fault not Gwynn hittin well
S chad can't get the win, right? So the next guy gets the win?
Wright has a chance at registering a win here?!
The Dodgers should be able to raffle off the win in a post-game bingo game
Yeah Nic...I said that
SFDF: Fwiw, Vinny said the same thing
Should of bunted.
Dee, you've gotta hit it deeper for a sac
let Kennedy show you how to hit it deep, Dee
That's 20 pushups, Dee.
(actually, of Dee had grounded to second at his AB, as Kennedy just did to end the inning, Gwynn would have indeed scored)
Nice highlight of the crazy Alex Cora 14-foul-ball AB
Stoked the gamble paid off, but 5 innings from this 'pen might as well be 9.
This can only end well.
Wash yet hair Timmeh!
If there's a polar opposite to Timmeh's Gameday pic, it might be Abreu's.
@Neebs...thx, 'they' keep my Vin intake to a minimum up here
It's okay, Kemp. Everyone on my fantasy team sucks today.
Time for Kemp to take a day off?
Dude is seriously 'pushing'
Stay positive, Bobby!
Do you think SF wants Uribe back?
And, Urine ends the inning. What a surprise.
@Neeebs - I read a little of MCC. They actually do.
Dodgers up 4-2.
I'm going to work out.
Mr La SC! Put in an offer for Pete's sake! Uribe for a couple of cases of Chardonnay!
I don't think I'm welcome in those parts. But only because they're such devoted fans. #HankSchulmanLogic
I await the beat writers' tweets about how this long game will make Dylan Hernandez miss deadline.
Schulman is a fairweather tool...But no worries, czar, you can stay with us in the wilds of Oakland!
My dogs were going fricking nuts 20 minutes ago and wouldn't shut up, so I went outside...four deer on my hill.
You'd dig it here
MLASC: Sell um for cheap
@sfdf: that is awesome. Berkeley hills, perhaps? You a fan of il fornaiao sp?)
Ok, now I really have to work out
Li'l Ellis!
Ellis couldn't hit a homerun? Pssh.
DUMP THIS FUCKER.
We just had our catcher get a triple.
Are you kidding me?!
Real players hit doubles.
MLB debut for Scott Van Slyke!
WOWEE...
A catcher hitting a triple?
Hahahahaha
Il fornaio is how to spell it, apparently
200
Stubbs mention!
Good on you, rook!
SLYKED!!!
GREAT SCOTT!!
Base hit RBI in his first AB!
Well done Scottster!
This game is going very well.
@nomo
I'm on audio. What was is?
Hopefully Scotty does so well that they DFA Kennedy when Rivera comes back.
