Welcome to the first weekend of interleague pla....Wait, what the what is wrong with the MLB schedule? Never mind. Do over.
Dodgers return from a long, arduous road trip to face the old enemy Shards (22-16). This three-game home stand represents a real test of strength and spirit for a Dodgers team that has beaten up on crummier teams but has been somewhat tested by contending teams. This is all the more difficult with Kemp, et al out of the lineup. Here's hoping that old fossil we dug up Bobby Abreu keeps up his success with the bat and doesn't fall victim to the virulent hamstring flu currently decimating our squad.
Re-reading that first paragraph makes it sound like we're struggling this year. But wait! We're the best team in baseball at 25-13. Pull your socks up, lads and lasses, because we can get this done against the dread Shards. Let's splinter them into a million pieces and send them home crying for their moms.
ps- Don't forget to vote A.J. Ellis to this year's All Star Game squad!

[Kerry Wood retirement]
Justin Verlander appears to be successful at pitching tonight.
I knew it was close, but couldn't be bothered to do any actual - what do they call it? - "research". Per Eric Stephen at TBLA, Dodgers are 1,002-1,001 against the Shards. We OWN these punks!
One-out single in the 9th ends Verlander's no-hit bid. Jesus Colorado this guy is good.
There i threw in a vote for Jamey Carroll scrappy mcscrappy.
Drinking shitty beer at my in-laws', Vinny!
Meetin an old friend at Bottega Louie downtown but sad I'm missing the game, Vinny!

The pants-free portion of the evening commences!

Fuck you, Mothballs!
Just in time to watch Lilly strike out Yada-yada-yada Molina.
My nephew took a dump in his pants cause they won't let him use diapers anymore

Don't fuck up the comeback.
The Laker Staples announcer always sounds so monotone and bored......

Ah, hell.
Sloney, that was bad.
Rox lost, Snakes won, Giants up 6-1 in the fourth

Kennedy belongs in an old western with that wad of chew.
Throw strikes!
@Paul YAY!

Jack Nicholson mad. And why come no one ever mentions Lou Adler sitting next to him? He only discovered the seminal comedy group of Cheech and Chong.
What? Dave's not here.
Guess we are sticking with Josh. One more strike.
Come on Josh.
Hey, we're winning!
Sellers will get a tatoo of that.
It's only disappointing because Holliday wasn't involved.
Holliday was covering his jewels on the play.
Tough night for Gordon??? Tough night!?? He sucks all nights.
That was outside... I think.
This Jersey Hansen is pretty good.
Berking fuckman.
GODFUCKINGDAMMIT
Amazing.
Wasn't even a mistake pitch. Dude can just hit.
Damn, if LaRussa were still here the cards would be out of pitchers already.
Don't worry guys, Elian Herrera is up.
Hrmmmmmm.
Nice AB.
Late reaction because of ghetto internet: Damn you,Kenley!
Nic, what are next week's lotto numbers?
I get the Dodger games after 10pm on the Dish. Do I have to wish for extra innings every telecast to watch now?
"Adam Kennedy has had a huge night". *faints*
Oh, thank heaven, Adam Kennedy will save us.
What???? *faints again*

Since this GT morphed into the Lakers GT (NOTHING wrong with it) i'll have to say goodnight and go Lakers
I'm gonna stop calling him Ajellis and start calling him the Tortoise.
Heh - ghetto Internet. Spank it sounds like you had an emotional roller coaster of a night.
Okay, now I'm thinking BB Gun would be a killer nickname.
PGT up.
