Game 46 brings us the Bark in the Park edition. Before the game, hundreds of Dodger dog owners will proudly parade their pups around the outfield and then view the night's game from the Right Field Pavilion. Yours Truly had planned to bring his beloved dog to the event, but Mrs. Dusty felt some reticence about how the hound would hold up with all the clamor. Thus, instead he'll be on my lap on the sofa, Vinny! However, I understand at least one other SoSG reader is planning to attend the event, so hopefully we'll get some good pictures to post from the event.
Chad Billingsley looks to mark his territory after his last three poor-to-mediocre outings, going up against a grown man named Bud. Bud should be the name of a dog, not a pitcher. After last night's disappointing loss to a team we should beat on the nose with a newspaper, we'll have to hope that the Astros are really all bark and no bite.
If we win in dramatic fashion, no truth to the rumor that Matt Kemp will rub the tummy of the game hero in honor of all the dogs out there, instead of the traditional dry hump.

I don't want to see Air Bud tonight, just regular sucky Bud
I'd love to see some bud tonight.
got some not-so-fresh stuff at the crib. come on by. maybe it will help us see what Donnie sees in Kennedy
Just woke up from a nap, Vinny!
get mad, Thighness!! Get after those punkass Houston hitters!
aww don't put a skirt on a dog
Dogs are boys, even when they are female
On the sofa, way too far away, Vinny!
Why exactly are the Astros going to the AL?
Altuve is killing us.
Altuve is a new MSB, no? Little chihuahua.
Carlos Lee RBI. 1-0 Astros. Limit the damage, Chad!
ballsballsballs
close this out, Chad
I hope the offense is a little manlier than it was last night.
struck out the side
I vowed to be nice to Chad. I'll let Dusty say the things I want to say
That's a lot of pressure, FB. I'm up for it, though.
The Astros are celebrating the 50th anniversary of something or other as well.
Abreu single! Two out, of course.
nice work, Bobby
Celtics up by 10 with 2 minutes left.
yeah, Dre!
Weird to see Matt Kemp tweeting during the game.
At least we're making Norris throw a lot of pitches.
I really wanted the 76ers.
Full count to AK.
Vin fit in the origin story of Norris' nickname on a 3-2 count!
during the game? that's the kind of thing that gets you fined by the team
Dodgers get zilch but made Norris throw 26 pitches in the 1st.
Did Vin say Norris averages 117 pitches a game?
@FB I think Kemp is on his way to Albuquerque for a rehab assignment.
heh nice try, Bobby
I didn't hear that, FB. But if it's true, we'll knock him out in the 5th.
ahh ok - I am ok with that. NO FINE!
Hit & run burns the Dodgers. Astros have men on 1st & 3rd, no out.
Juan Castro?
shitballs
Time for Billz to go bullpen, call up Eovaldi for rotation
Giants lost.
Ah, Jason. Vinny called him Juan more than once, so that's his name now.
DBT with the nuclear option!
I don't like the look of where this is going...
Yes, it's time
Bills walks 'em loaded.
GET IT TOGETHER CHAD
Ks the pitcher. One out.
Does anybody report on the types of outs pitchers get? In my head, I am thinking simple outs (Ks, popouts, groundouts, flyouts), medium outs (double plays) and difficult outs (throwing guys out at bases (not force outs)). The difficult outs are the ones that change innings and sometimes games.
It seems like Chad has benefited a lot from getting difficult outs and that has kept his era below four
It's kind of like a BABIP-type stat, where things eventually regress to the mean
The falling apart continues. Chad walks a run in. 2-0 Astros.
christ - I hate being 2 pitches behind
Oh, crap.
Altuve with a chance for a GS.
I've never heard of such a stat, FB. Would love to see what Chad's numbers are.
Chinny chin chin!
Embarrassing, Chad. Ethier saved your thigh-ass ass. You're regressing, asshole.
Altuve with a gift
sweet Dre
Did I invent a stat?
How about an inning where they DON'T get any runs and we do?
FBMUAS - Fred's Brim Made Up A Stat
NEVER talk to Dave Hansen about hitting
The home plat ump spits a lot
PUT AJ BACK TO EIGHTH! OR FIRST!
What's the AJ stat about 1-0 vs 0-1 counts? It's significantly different, right?
Like .450 vs .125 or something stupid like that
I'm getting worked into a no good very bad mood.
Give Chad that pitch, ump
me too, DB. Been that way since Wednesday
Billingsley's FBMUAS is going to take a beating.
Dee should do pushups for swinging on the first pitch.
If you still had a great fastball, I wouldn't say this, but Chad, you need to lose that Broxton ass
This guy is named Bud. We should be whipping his ass!
Norris at 43 pitches through two innings. We got him right where we want him!
@Orel, I am dying for somebody to do that in a real game. I can't believe somebody hasn't done that yet
keep taking pitches, fellas
Nice to see Henry Rollins staying hardcore.
Nobody should be named Bud. Girls like Rudy Huxtable dominate dudes named Bud
Henry Rollins played the Vanilla Ice character in the 3rd Bass video for Pop Goes The Weasel
colorado, Kennedy, you aren't at second base
Jed Lowrie won't play Sun City!
I don't have the game on. Are we still sucking?
Can't wait for when Bogusevic to bat when Federowicz is behind the plate.
Bills will never have another 1-2-3 in his career.
@Nomo: Yes.
@Orel I think that was a matchup during the Serbian olympic boxing trials
Man, Chad is a mess. 68 pitches so far, two on, two out.
Bills will never have another 1-2-3-4 in his career.
CONFLICTING EDITS!
FB +1
@FB re 3rd Bass
I'm bad ass move your fat ass 'cause you're wack son
Dancin' around like you think you're Janet Jackson
Thought you could walk on me to get some ground to walk on
I'll pull the rug out under your ass as I talk on
I'll take you out like a sniper on a roof
Like an MC at the Fever in the DJ booth
With your headphones strapped you're rockin' rewind pause
Tryin' to figure out what you can do to go for yours
But like the pencil to the paper I got more to come
One after another you can all get some
So you better take your time and meditate on your rhyme
Nice to see Ajellis get a good block in.
Finish him, Chad!
@DB, did you read the Pete Nice column that was on one of the Gawker sites after MCA died?
KKKKKK
but also: BB BB BB
@FB
I don't believe so, but I was in a daze those few days.
OH MY GOD WHY DON'T YOU START A 3RD BASS BLOG
WE SHOULD START A 3RD BASS/BEASTIES BATTLE BLOG!!!
Seriously, we should.
@DB - Think you will like it
Requiem for a White MC
Is Chad Billingsley available with SkyActiv Technology?
Serch was a really good dancer. His Steve Martin was second to none
TGJ tries to bunt single. Things getting desperate.
good play by Rudy's Bitch
Did Trey Hillman shave his goatee
KEEP TAKING
!
Hillman was clean-shaven in a pre-game segment.
Herrera walks!
Make 'em pay, Bobby!
The Angels, I mean.
yikes - that was a gift ball
Bobby still has the red webbing on his glove. FB does not approve
Vin sounds like he's trying to get Abreu in the Hall of Fame.
Weak sauce, Bobby. At least Elian took second.
Ethier's dialed in. Make it count, Dre!
I remember when people were saying the Dodgers should sign Adam Dunne or Bobby Abreu instead of Manny Ramirez
Dammit. Ethier swings on a nasty pitch.
Norris at 69 pitches. 69!
Yes!
Ethier double! 2-1 Astros.
Mighty fine AB there, Dre.
PayDre!
CutKen!
Hey, I got what I asked for!
$1 Dodger Dogs on Memorial Day. Wonder if the AYCEers are going to be pissed.
Vin loves that toenail story.
I hope Jordan Schaefer never fouls the ball off his nuts.
Let's see if Chadley can get the 1-2-3 here.
1-2-3!
Loney picked a good night to show up.
Dog House James!
Long road trip followed by interleague? We'll be lucky to be in first place after that
3-1 to #AJ2KC....
It'll be a good test, FB.
A.J. taking his hacks.
son of a goat
Damn!
Gordon double!
RUN DEE RUN!
now GET HIM HOME!
ugh - forgot Chad was hitting next.
Surprise me, Chad
Vin talking about Doug Brocial's daughters...
Brocail
Be useful here, Tony.
well he didn't line into a double play
take pitches, Tone
TGJ single! Dodgers lead 3-2!
Woop there it is
Tony Gwynn!!!!!
TONE!!!
TONY!
Toni?
This is a slow-ass game.
I think Norris is at one million pitches now.
It feels good.
all the throwovers seems a little dickish, especially when Lee holds the ball waiting for Tony to get up
Topes win! Topes win!
@Spank: yeah
Herrera has been hanging out with A.J. Ellis.
A nice homerun here would be....nice.
nice work, Elian
Go Comedulce!
epale everyone!
Eat candy?
COOL RANCHO ARDIENDO
Rancho Drediendo
Dre time!
Guys, Comedulce is awesome :)
It has to suck, with your pitchcount mounting, after walking a guy, to face Bobby Abreu
DAMMIT!
Dang. what a wasted opportunity.
Ah, well. I'll definitely take it.
godDAMMIT
Hey Karina, Loney is 2-for-2!
fuckaduck
Woot! Jints lost!
Cmon, Chad, ferchrissakes!
AC featured in Dodger Stadium Memories!
AC!
Dave Roberts is awesome
@Fred's Brim one can never get enough of Air Bud
@Orel yes, Altuve is a MSB
@Spank Bob Abreu's father had a huge sweet tooth, so that's why he got the "Comedulce" (candy eater)nickname. When he unfortunately died, Bob Abreu declared he wanted to be called "Comedulce" in honor of his father's memory.
3 1/2 hours: over/under?
that was a strike, ump, checkswing or not
Orel, I"m sure he'll be regal again very soon :)
Another 1-2-3!
OVER
The Astros have taken the under apparently
i'll take it
cmon, dude. Do something on that popup! Dusty would have punched that guy in the dick in the same situation
That's enough dick-punching talk for one day.
@ Karina
thanks for that explanation. you had mentioned comedulce before and i was tripping out on it with my own thoughts.
So does the Miller Lite can not work if you don't punch the second hole?
AJ with a walk?!? SHOCKING!
I just made a name up for Urine.
Comemierda.
@Orel, it works, but in a completely different way
Little Dee!
Chad about to punch something
@Spank
*looks it up*
possibly
So the beer goes up your nose?
Bud & Bills combined for 215 pitches.
@Orel, it you are a freshman, yes
if
now, we got a pitcher with a rhyming name
