Game 46 Thread: May 26 vs. Astros, 7p

RHP Bud Norris (5-1, 3.14) vs. RHP Chad Billingsley (2-3, 3.91)

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.

wow that was close, but

TAKE A GODDAMN PITCH!

Orel said...

trivia: Bobby Abreu leads active players with 562 doubles.

Who are the only 4 players ever with 700+ doubles?

Orel said...

Juan Uribe has had 700+ Double-Doubles.

Fred's Brim said...

bonk, off the elbow!

Fred's Brim said...

it was a pretty good day by all accounts

Orel said...

Kurt Bevacqua had Dubble Bubbles.

Orel said...

As has been pointed out on Twitter, it was a good day because it did not feature an AK. Like many Dodger games.

Fred's Brim said...

I think Bud Norris was an extra on Saved by the Bell when they worked at the beach club

Orel said...

Bud Norris: no relation to Chuck.

Orel said...

Dodgers hitting 'em where they is.

Fred's Brim said...

I am glad out lead is comfortable for you, Vin

Fred's Brim said...

our

Fred's Brim said...

is they is or is they ain't, where I hit them

Orel said...

"He has to shave with a ruler." —Vin, on Del Rosario's chinstrap

Orel said...

Hey lady wearing the Angels jacket: wrong game.

Fred's Brim said...

heh Vin poking at the bad chinstrap on Del Rosario

Orel said...

trivia answer: Tris Speaker 793, Pete Rose 746, Stan Musial 725, Ty Cob 724

Orel said...

Ty Cob played OF, where he caught cans of corn.

Dusty Baker said...

Just made an entire gourmet meal for my family and it's still only the 6th inning, Vinny!

Orel said...

Did they shoot a Director's Cut of that commercial, where the SUV runs over the kid?

Orel said...

What was on the menu, Dusty?

Dusty Baker said...

I broke out that AK reference a number of times before chuckleheads on Twitter did. Boooo!

Orel said...

Javy!

Orel said...

You gotta tweet up in that bish, Dusty.

Fred's Brim said...

Tris Speaker has the record for unassisted double plays by an outfielder. I am not sure how that happens, but it happens

Dusty Baker said...

Basil, buttermilk, and sour cream marinated cherry tomato salad.

Goat cheese and pesto pasta shells.

Marinated bone-in chicken breasts with basil and olive oil sauce.

And lots of rioja.

Orel said...

You couldn't be bothered to remove the bones?

Fred's Brim said...

crap boobs crap

Fred's Brim said...

BONES = FLAVOR!

Orel said...

Just kidding. Sounds delicious!

Orel said...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going. "

Dusty Baker said...

I just wanted to say "bone in".

Fred's Brim said...

@Dusty, with your amazing effort, did you earn a drunken night at the yard?

Fred's Brim said...

nice play, Elian!

Fred's Brim said...

bone in, bone out, repeat

what_difference_does_it_make said...

Heard some dogs howling from right field pavilion when this guy was singing GBA....LOL

Dusty Baker said...

Mama would throw the live crawdad in a pan of boilin' water

Well, one day I decided to make my own crawdad.

And I threw it in a pot, without the water, you see?

And it was just like makin' popcorn, you see?

Yeah, the joint's a lonely place after lockup and lights out...

#RaisingArizona

Dusty Baker said...

Are there other types, FB?

Fred's Brim said...

WDDIM - that earned a real LOL from me

Fred's Brim said...

@DB - no

spank said...

It's only the 7th inning?

Fred's Brim said...

Rhiner or Rhoner?

spank said...

Turn to the right.

Fred's Brim said...

@Spank, the over-under set by Orel was 3.5 hours

spank said...

Loney?

Orel said...

Loney 3 for 4!

karina said...

James Loney wants to be a Peanut again :)

Orel said...

I once took a Cruz down the Rhiner River.

Fred's Brim said...

Jamez!

Orel said...

You could have used him today, Karina.

spank said...

@ FB

Orel's prediction will probably be spot on. These last couple innings have been swift. i was a little worried when it was almost 9:30 and the game was still in the fourth inning.

Fred's Brim said...

Cmon, Belli!

Hideo Nomo said...

Strong GT tonight, kids. Sorry I'm mostly unable to participate. Entertaining family tonight.

Paul said...

When does Uribe come back? Team can't score without him.

spank said...

All my favorites have entered the game. #Sands #Hairston

Fred's Brim said...

@Spank I was worried too. It's 1:10am here, 10 minutes after most games end. Half of the FBs have been asleep since the third. It will help a lot if we don't have to bat in the bottom of the ninth

Orel said...

I thought we were your "entertaining family," Nomo!

Fred's Brim said...

@Nomes, by "entertaing family," I assume you mean you are putting on a burlesque show

Fred's Brim said...

holy moly

Dusty Baker said...

"Half of the FBs"

Heh.

Drinking everyone else's leftover wine now.

Orel said...

I picture Nomo wearing a feather boa and little else.

Dusty Baker said...

I was thinking of more of a donkey show.

Paul said...

Don't juggle my baseballs.

Fred's Brim said...

Does Belli have a mohawk of some kind? he has a pointy tail poking out from the back of his hat

Orel said...

Just in general, I mean.

Orel said...

That's the rat he keeps inside his cap.

Fred's Brim said...

THATS NOT A BOA!

Orel said...

AAUGH

spank said...

I want to party at Nomes!

Paul said...

Not a boa. Interesting manscaping however.

spank said...

Come on Belli. Guide the ball with your teeth.

Orel said...

shit Beli

Paul said...

4 out saves always end well

Fred's Brim said...

AJ grabs his junk a lot

Orel said...

Oooh, KJ in for his first four-out save?

Fred's Brim said...

fudge

Fred's Brim said...

Donnie is not happy

Fred's Brim said...

Belli's stuff is electric, just not near the strike zone

Orel said...

First-pitch swinging would be great here.

Paul said...

AJ might have electric junk.

Orel said...

Might have happened when he touched his balls to his TV.

Dusty Baker said...

I need to hang my jewels over the screen for good luck again.

Orel said...

Go ahead, Dusty, we'll wait.

spank said...

For fucks sake

Orel said...

Sorry, Chad, no W for you.

Dusty Baker said...

Con of a sunt!

Orel said...

Kenley going for the over.

Orel said...

Kenley can't find the strike zone.

Dusty Baker said...

More red bull and vodka for FB now.

spank said...

The nicely dressed milfs behind homeplate are keeping me sane.

Dusty Baker said...

Can he not find the strike zone, or is he too chickens hit to attack the strike zone?

Fred's Brim said...

Kenley will be up to a Bud Norris pitch count soon

Fred's Brim said...

@Dusty I wish I had more redbull

Dusty Baker said...

I'm glad I haven't been sitting there for 6 hours with my dog.

And with the pooch.

Dusty Baker said...

@FB

I wish I had more vodka.

Orel said...

A STRIKE!

Fred's Brim said...

make these cnuts swing!

Fred's Brim said...

fuckballs
lets score enough so Kenley doesn't have to go back out there

Fred's Brim said...

razzafrazzit

Fred's Brim said...

Jerry!

spank said...

Score a run bishes.

Orel said...

Has beating the Astros always been this hard?

Orel said...

Herrera flare!

Orel said...

PUPPIES!

Fred's Brim said...

Elian keeps us going

Dusty Baker said...

That could have been my pug they just showed! DAMMIT!

cc: Mrs Dusty

spank said...

Some sad mutts up in there.

Paul said...

Sands will save us with his fly out powers!

Fred's Brim said...

lots of tired hounds

Orel said...

C'mon, Sands! Why you swinging at that junk?

Fred's Brim said...

I can't think of a word to explain my frustration at that terrible strikeout

Orel said...

We're at 3:35, folks.

Fred's Brim said...

The over has been overed

Orel said...

Laz Diaz's strike zone is shaped like a toothpick.

Dusty Baker said...

@FB

Does "jizzsuckingblowpig" work in this situation?

Fred's Brim said...

@DB, it does. I wish I had your command of the filthy part of the english language

Fred's Brim said...

I will be using the word "sunt" more often

Orel said...

1-2-3 for Kenley. Let's walk off!

Paul said...

Dre is gonna finish this.

Fred's Brim said...

have we gotten an appealed strike this year?

Dusty Baker said...

(walks off)

To get another wine

Fred's Brim said...

Kenley gonna get the 4-out win

Orel said...

Scotch time.

Fred's Brim said...

Scotch time = winning time

Dusty Baker said...

Scotch time = losing time too. Whoooooa, weird!

Orel said...

Dre HBP!

spank said...

Knock his fucking head off with the bat,Dre!

Orel said...

"Wright was pretty much wrong." —Vin

Fred's Brim said...

Wesley Wright has the same milliner as Juan Pierre

Dusty Baker said...

Break the bat in half and stab him with the crooked end, Dre! Fuck. Him. Up.

Dusty Baker said...

It's milliner time!

Oh, wait.

Dusty Baker said...

Solid hit wins stand gets a free tummy rub.

Fred's Brim said...

Wine makes Dusty violent!
Or is that the bone-in chicken?
Either way, I'll take it!

Dusty Baker said...

They're scared of JLo!

Fred's Brim said...

wha? why was van slyke in to bunt?

nice bunt, SVS

Steve Sax said...

The Astros are scared of Loney.

Dusty Baker said...

Yeah, I was completely non-violent and a model sportsman before I started on the wine tonight.

Fred's Brim said...

cmon, Abner Jerome!!!

Dusty Baker said...

AJellis walkoff here to catapult him into the All Star Game.

Orel said...

#AJ2KC!

spank said...

Dusty Baker said...

Steve Sax said...

Paul said...

Dusty Baker said...

Then I called Neeebs' mother.

Fred's Brim said...

WONDERFUL PISTACHIOS!!!!

Fred's Brim said...

Dusty Baker said...

My balls are still hanging on my TV!

Orel said...

Somehow it's not annoying with A.J. thanks God.

Fred's Brim said...

@Orel agreed

Fred's Brim said...

Image for tonight: Dusty's ball prints

Franklin Stubbs said...

Fred's Brim said...

Dusty Baker said...
