Clayton Kershaw (4-1, 1.90 ERA) vs. Lucas Harrell (3-3, 4.09 ERA)
Lucas Harrell hasn't made it out of the sixth in any of his past four starts. So, you're saying he's pretty good for the first three, then sometime in the next three, everyone realizes he's terrible? Sounds a lot like another Lucas we all know. (No, not that one.) Just as with The Empire Strikes Back, Kersh, not Lucas, will be the real reason tonight's game will be good.
Oh, and surprise superstar Jerry Hairston, Jr. returns tonight. No word as of this writing as to who's getting sent to the spice mines of Kessel to make room.
Also? 45!

Jerry! Back, and in the lineup!
That is a remarkable Lucas moment, right there.
He's either trying out to be one of the Four Tenors or someone just explained to him what a stupid character Jar Jar Binks was.
The fact that I posted this on the 35th anniversary of Star Wars was a total coincidence.
But no doubt inspired by my Star Wars-laden subconscious.
That is a f'ing brilliant GT, Gnomes. Bravo!
Sax will be in the house tonight, pending traffic
Woot! #AJ2KC mention on Dodgers Live again!
At the stadium! In seats
There goes the no hitter
Tyrion Lannister can hit!
45, Vinny!
Jesus Colorado, did that just happen? Boooooooo!
Do over, please!
*squirms*
(worms)
Hey, anyoe here? Who wants a beer?
Don't the Astros anniversary patches look like German flags?!?
I do, Sax!
Well, that was anemic and ill executed.
1-0 Stros through 2
Make that 3.
Fuck. 3-0
Hmmm, good thing San Francisco lost...
What in blazes is going on here?
We better not lose this game.
I'm going on a comment streak. No one interrupt me.
Kershaw starts the fourth with a walk.
But then gets a DP!
Lincecum ERA = 6.41
Whoa. Who the fuck do these Astros think they are? Us?!
Also, for those keeping score, it's official, the Kings will play the New Jersey Devils in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Time to check out McCovey Chronicles.
It's the Kevin Smith Stanley Cup!
Oh shit! Sorry, Orel, didn't mean to break up the streak...you were on fire, too.
Abreu & Gwynn almost collide!
DAMMIT
epale everyone!
I got distracted by listening to Vinny while watching the game on tv
How many runners have we stranded so far? Like 18?
Epale, Commissioner Karina!
So. How long until Kemp returns?
Apparently we're facing Cy Harrell.
Oh man. Ball deflects off Hairston's glove and eludes Gordon going the other way. Altuve ends up with a double.
Aw jeez. That grounder ate up the whole left side of the field.
Kershaw BB.
Good call on McCovey Chronicles.
You guys are harshin' Timmeh's buzz.
TGJ robbed by Maxwell. Shit ain't falling tonight.
Fuck you Maxwell!
Wow....what a jacket, Vinny!
Screw you, Maxwell!
"Guerrier shut down as elbow gets no better"
My version:
"Guerrier shut down as pitching gets no better"
C'mon Bobby, stick it to the Angels.
Abreu walks!
Fack!
C'mon, Happy!
Men on first & second, one out!
C'mon Loney, redeem thyself.
Loney DP. So.
Dammit. Do Loney's parents even like him anymore?
I don't even like Loney's parents at this point, since they conceived him.
Why is Kershaw still out there?
Please tell me this is not the moment we begin to suck.
I say this after another Loney GIDP.
This is the moment I begin to suck down more wine.
And I two more beers.
For the love.
"Boy, you talk about naked unto the world." —Vin, on the Astros' botched squeeze
"You talk about naked unto the world" - Vinny
I thought he was talking about Spanky at first, not the bungled squeeze play.
"You talk about naked unto the world" - Vinny
I thought he was talking about me. Sometimes during the game I like to hover over my TV in the nude and pretend like my balls are on the opposing players' heads. I consider it to be my own brand of voodoo.
That's rich, Cliff. Nice imagery!
@Dusty: It's also effective! This pitching change? You're welcome, Dodgers.
Wesley Wright looks younger than Dee Gordon!
Bobbywalks!
If we pull this game out, we'll have a new testicular trend sweeping the area.
Rancho Ardiendo!
Rancho Ethiendo!
Rancho, ya'll!
Speaking of I'd like some Cool Ranch Doritos about right now.
Guess who's on deck....
2-0 on Hairston.
3-0...
Dodgers get a gift!
Run is in!
Goddammit quit switching pitchers every fucking batter. If I wanted to see this shit I'd watch the AL.
Oh god, come on FJL!
Abad? Isn't he from "Community"?
Dodgers counter with Of Jesus.
Come on Ivan!
Let's hope he's Abad pitcher.
IDJ pinch-hitting.
Not Abadass.
#AJ2KC on deck!
Something threatening, I see.
Good eye, IDJ!
Dammit. At least not a DP.
At least we know A.J. will work the count.
Another pitching change?
DeJesus shit.
Well at least a K beats into FJL's inevitable GIDP.
For fuck's sake.
Let's all hang our nads off the TV and jinx this next pitcher!
^ Things you thought you'd never read on this blog.
I do that anyway, just to be safe.
This toolbox, again?
DAMMIT
Balls.
Shit!
Where's Duaner Sanchez when you need him?
Where's a Dirty Sanchez when you need it?
Continuing with depressing PGT.
There's such a thing as National Towel Day and I missed it?
Lot of Sons up in dis bish tonight.
*slaps Dusty with a raggedy-ass Magrathean towel*
Lots of Sons bishing tonight too.
I expect you to be up on these things, Baker.
How did Ajellis miss that foul pop bunt?
Just don't read any Vogon poetry to me, Stubbs.
@Stubbs
Are you paying attn to any of the Euro 2012?
I have yet to see anything from Hodgson that could be construed as competence, but we shall see.
Sweet. Let's catch a match together.
ps- Fuck France
Bottom of the 9th, still only a 2-run game.
Agreed! We should see if we can't round up that other fella, as well.
I want to pummel this "you kids have it so good" commercial little shitheel.
Which fella, Stubbs?
Now SVS is called on. Not when the bases were ardiendoed.
1 down
2 down
Three run HR right here, TGJ.
Our friend from behind the orange curtain, if he is available.
Ahhhhhh, of course!
Safe, off of Myers.
Gwynn singles off the pitcher! Literally! Tying run at the plate!
WP!
MDIL and I just realized that we really aren't satisfied unless Dodgers win every single game. Insatiable urge never to lose. Sickness.
PGTUP
