Ted Lilly (5-0, 1.79) vs. Joe Saunders (2-3, 3.55).
I'm still getting over last night's crazy come-from-behind victory, still shocked that we not only battled back from 5-0 on the road, but then went down to our last AB and got Ivan DeJesus Jr. to give the Dodgers our first lead of the game, as well as the lead that held up for the win. And here we go, in the final game of the series against the Snakes, and the Dodgers send up a pitcher whose 1.79 ERA ranks second among NL starters (slightly behind Atlanta righty Brandon Beachy's 1.77.). Ted Lilly--a 12-14 last year--is a surprising Ace, indeed.

If I'd gone to a spring training game and seen that lineup announced, I'd have been pissed.
He can make you laugh with no more than a frantic flailing of his limbs.
Did DelinO hack Sax's Blogger account?
San Francisco already lost. Can we push the lead to 8 games?
Well, of course we can, but will we?
Dre gets the day off. SVS batting cleanup.

Who is playing for the Topes these days? Did they send all the AA guys to ABQ?
The ABQ line up has as many "big leaguers" as tonight's LAD line up.

hehe nice work, Nomes
On the sofa, Vinny!
Watching the end of Bucky Larson, Vinny!
That was auspicious!
...but not useful.
I'm ready to join the Elian Nation.

The fuck is going on?
fack
Ugh ugh ugh.
Not worried yet. The Dodgers scored 11 runs last time Lilly had a shitty first.
Oh, pick up your goddamn helmet, O'Parra. You weren't robbed.
well that's over
hey guys. No one's picking up the Ace Ventura thread? I'm disappointed.
All righty then.
2-0 Snakes through 1.5
Good thing it's an off day tomorrow. The bullpen may be heavily featured in this one.
A.J. Ellis' wife is on Twitter, retweeting all the campaign stuff.
Hey, I got you a Jim Carrey reference AND a Simpsons quote in one tidy package! What more do you want from me?
Bollocks.
4-0 snakes? Are we spotting them now, after last night's comeback?
@Sir Stubbs, you're off the hook
I know we have to come back to earth at some point, but lets do it in a respectable way
Hey, everyone gets boatraced eventually. We already took the series.
Ted got a meatball sub for lunch
dick
Does Ted have enough control tonight to hit O'Parra?
frikkin umps
sheesh
Well god damn, Vinny!
@FB
Does Ted have enough control tonight NOT to hit O'Parra?
I predict a heavy dose of Jamey Wright tonight
maybe a big cup a Coffey too
time warp back to May 2011
I may have to take a detour from this one and come back for the 7th inning comeback.
I think it's more Lilly coming down to Earth, as opposed to the Dodgers.
#AJ2KC!
AJ!

Game 1 had kids and their young moms behind the plate. Game 2 had future moms behind the plate. This game has a bunch of dudes.
Marla have you gone to any of the games?
I said this a few days ago but teams should throw every lefty that have at us. Even Jason Kubel should get an inning
I didn't realize this before but this stadium is stupid
well I knew the stuff around the field was stupid, but I never knew it was a stupid hitter's park
Lilly has been downright unCapuanolike.
I miss the days when they didn't show commercials between innings
keep it down, stupid!
goddamn ump, where was that?
SI gave a couple of bucks to the homeplate ump
damn - Upton nearly hit that to the moon
then he can't lay off the curve in the dirt
7-1 D'backs. No comeback tonight.
criminy
my oh my
Can we sign Jeff Weaver for a couple of innings?
fucknuts - I wanted to stay up and watch a good game tonight
This has been a pretty steady downward trajectory.
looks like I will be going to bed on time and waking up to a 18-2 loss
I hope Thursday is ready for a grumpy FB
Gnite all
AJ will hit 8 more solo shots tonight to tie Kemp.
Dee's getting good at turning DPs.
Night, FB!
Wow, how bad are the Cubs?
9-1 D'backs, for those of you keeping score.
(hint: REALLY BAD)
I sense a comment streak opportunity.
Upton HR. 11-1 D'backs. Get it all out of your system, boys.
Vin should be able to hand this game off to Charley and Rick.
Shades of the Astros game, except A.J. saved us from a shutout. That's worth a few hundred votes.
I blame Jim Carrey.
Son of a bunch of words I'm not allowed to say.
FUCK JIM CARREY!
Unfunny asshole.

It's all I have.
Way to hold 'em, Jamey!
FUCK YOU PAPA JOHN'S! It's been a god dang hour already.
Two on, no out for the Dodgers in the 7th. Here we go.
AK single! Rancho Ardiendo!
Papa John's just delivered your pizza to my house, Dusty. Thanks!
Dee RBI. 11-2.
Loney RBI. 11-3.
Herrera RBI. 11-4.
We got this!
Bastards finally delivered my pizza. *shakes fist at the heavens*
Here comes A.J.
Where's Karina at? We need some positive energy for the inevitable comeback!
Ajellis strikes out. The world is ending.
We got em right where we want em!
Loney GIDP to end the game. OMG.
PGTUP
I do love me the Papa John's, however
