Clayton Kershaw (4-2, 1.97) vs. Yovani Gallardo (3-4, 4.19).
Drowning at the hand of Brewers? Surprisingly, it could happen. And that's what the Dodgers face tonight, having dropped the first two games of the series to a 21-28 team who sits seven games behind a team helmed by Dusty Baker. The Dodgers scored two runs on Monday, and then (even with the return of Matt Kemp), mustered only a single run last night.
Offensive woes be damned; we've got Kershaw dealing tonight. Leave it to Clayton to get us back on track, avoid our first three-game losing streak of the year*, and watch us overcome the best the Brewers can muster.
(*) For the second time this week

Can't accuse Donnie of not trying to shake things up.
Oh, and GO KINGS!
Go Kings! I'm a hardcore Kings fan since April 2012!
Oh man, Loney in the two spot? Time to shit or get off the pot...
HLK SMASH,
Go Dodgers! Go Kings!
I'm starting to think Donnie needs to get ON the pot. Only glaucoma could explain some of these lineups.
I can accuse Donnie of putting Loney in the lineup, though.
KINGS!
From the ESPN.com front page: "The Kings and Devils have waited awhile to get this Stanley Cup Finals going. But there is this one lingering question: Who wins?"
That is probably the worst tagline I've seen in weeks. No shit that that's the question! That's why the play the goddamn games!
Kings up 1-0 through 1.
Oh shit! The Stanley Cup games are on NBC. I thought they were on Versus.
The Stanley Cup Finals are not on, where I am.
ESPN Gamecast is woefully insufficient, btw.
I have no idea how I'd be able to follow hockey on a gamecast.
Neither do I, mr f
It does say we are leading the Shots on Goal competition, 7-5
(everybody drink!)
speaking of everybody drinking, i'm hearing someone puking his/her guts out in the hotel room next door. nice.
Sounds pleasant.
Shit. Tie game.
oh no, it's 1-1
Oh no.
Momentum swing.
Shit. Total fluke goal for Jersey, that was total bullshit.
1-1 at the end of two periods. Sack up, Kings!
Whew.
Vin going on about bat lengths again. Cover your ears, Dusty.
holy shit, Seattle's up on Texas 17-2. In the 6th inning!
Okay, I gots to run but I want to see how Loney fares in his opening shot in the two-hole.
Wow, the AL East is tight. All five teams separated by 2.5 games.
it sure seems like the Devils are taking all the shots in this third period (from gamecast)
ok, i finally turned off "scout" on my mlb.com gameday.
man, that thing is fucking annoying.
Loney grounds to third! What a surprise!
that's it, i'm going to the gym.
Four-pitch walk to Kemp. Gutless, Yo Gabba Gabba.
@Orel, and I think the AL East has all teams above .500 (last time I checked)
Boom shaka laka, Ethier!
Ethier doubles in Kemp, 1-0 Dodgers
epale everyone!
we are winning! :D
I need to go to the gym but this inning is too compelling
Go Ethier and Kemp!
3-0 pitch to Abreu with RISP: called strike, right down the middle.
first and second, two out for Adam Kennedy (.221)
hey karina, how are you? haven't talked with you in a while.
karina, did you see this
http://gawker.com/5913540/watch-this-right-now-the-worlds-first-live-lip+dub-proposal
i thought it was right up your alley
@THEREAL_DV: "Looks like Kemp reinjured his hamstring coming around 3rd. He broke his bat over his knee in anger/frustration in dugout."
SHIT SHIT SHIT
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
RA but I'm freaked out about Kemp.
AK worked and 0-2 count into a bases-loading walk? wow.
fuck are you serious about Kemp? NOOOOO
AJEllis lines to center to end the inning
see you guys (and gals) in a few
orel, grab my spot at the tap
Gwynn replaces Kemp in center, batting third
Say it ain't so about Kemp?
(cries)
Consider it grabbed, Sax.
Going to OT in NJ.
Why Matt?!? Why couldn't you just wait till you were fully healed!!!!
This is pretty fucking depressing.
Watch it Watch it. *closes eyes*
#kings gmae
Woops. Dyslexia kicked in.
KINGS WIN!
FUCKIN GODDAM KINGS!
I am terrified as a mutha that the house of cards will fall in on itself this next 15 days. We have to keep pitching well and then grind like hell on offense. If our bats are getting into their familiar doldrums, I hope we can keep them to a minimum
KOPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kennedy
Fuck you, Aramis
Celtics & Heat tied at 99 w/34.3 seconds left.
Ha ha, LeBron tries to pull a Kobe!
@Sax I'm fine, working hard and a lot, also, we've had lots of power outages lately so that's why i haven't been around.
i'll watch that video as soon as the game finishes, i'm curious
btw, say it ain't so about Kemp :(
throw strikes, Clayton
@Dodgers: "Kemp reaggravated Left Hamstring and he will have an MRI tomorrow."
Wish Kemp had Wade's hammies.
Is Fred Roggin drunk or something?
I wish Kemp had my hammies. I would donate one if it would help
Why is LeBron so hesitant?
shitfuckballs
Now the Dodgers are losing. What a shock.
Kershaw needs an MRI. Geez c'mon Cy young!
everybody looks and acts pissed out there
Ransom steals third while A.J. appeals to the first-base ump. Dodgers are as rattled as we are.
Clayton up to 285 pitches
KG turnover. Guess he's upset about Kemp too.
Dwy-ane is more annoying than Lebron. He is a wanker
Dee, you don't have to swing at everything
Gallardo has hair like Lorraine Bracco in Goodfellas
so, what's going on with the Kings?
Heat win.
as consolation, Goldsmith HR and Timmah and the Jints are losing.
but Kemp hurt his hamstring :(
I blame Braun
I just want to go on the record as saying, "FUCK."
and, oh yeah go kings.
Le sigh.
Karina, the Kings have been in existence since 1967. They've only been to one finals, in 1993. They're now three wins away from their first championship.
Clayton is so off. Somehow he's getting guys out but he's working too hard to do it
Kershaw at 100 pitches. One out in the 5th.
And he gets the DP on the next pitch!
wow - great double play
I hope Donnie doesn't give him more than 10-12 more pitches
"The gods of baseball have frowned upon Matt Kemp." —Vin
Kemp with sympathy pains?
Maybe Donnie is trying to get Loney hurt
I want to hear the real story behind Lucroy's broken hand, because I ain't buying the "suitcase fell on my hand" story. I am guessing bar fight.
Kershaw gives up a first-pitch double to the struggling Weeks.
what the christ
Jonathan Lucroy says wife a target
get him out, Donnie!
BREAKING: Dodgers reaggravate fanbase.
@Nomes - so true
Brewers squeeze in a run. Just pull Kershaw now and rest him for his next start.
Well, shit.
I don't know why I do this to myself, but I had to look at the upcoming schedule:
Milwaukee(1 more)
at Colorado(3)
at Philly(3)
Interleague(15 straight, 9 on the road)
at SF(3)
I hope we are still within three of first place by the time we go to SF. Let's go for the sweep!
Gallardo RBI. Not really sure why Kershaw is still in there.
sweet jesus
I am tired
I'm back.
Hey, and the Kings won in OT!
But we're losing 4-1.
@Orel, I think Donnie is trying to injure him too
what the hell was up with Kershaw tonight?
Brewers breaking it open. This is a disaster.
floodgates = open
Kershaw struggled all night. 5 ER over 5.2 innings.
Braun reminds me of that runaway bride a few years back...with the really scary wide eyes.
Guerra comes in, gets a pop up and a ground ball, yet the inning continues.
May can go Fuck itself now...with the exception of my birthday.
what's the old rule? Don't go to bed mad? That ain't happening tonight. Gnite all
Thank you, Prime Ticket, for easing the pain with Kings highlights.
Meaningless Ethier solo HR here.
FJL: 0-for-3, but this time in the two-hole
Meanwhile Ethier is 3-for-3
Orel, I think I'm banned from doing GTs for a while.
DON'T WORRY GUYS. BILLS TOMORROW.
Blame Sax!
Although he's not the one swinging at reeeedickulous pitches.
This better be the low point of the season.
It's a good thing we have an adequate first basemen to hold us over until Kemp gets better.
(Cries)
Whoa. Picked up 7 followers after tweeting that reaggravate fanbase line.
Go D-Backs!
Chicks dig hamstrings.
Stop showing Braun's stupid face on TV please.
I think David Stern had something to do with the outcome of the draft lottery. just saying.
Wait, what?
^ Shit .
#basketballreasons
SF is losing 4-1, so there's that
5-3 Dodgers. Is this just a tease?
Woohooo! Nice hit, Herrera!
Hopefully we can re-rally after this upcoming Loney DP.
@rbnlaw 9:30p: I'd like to think this is the low point of the season... but even I'm not buying that
Well, so much for the rally...Loney's up.
we are just trying to get the score back up to a 1 run deficit.
Of course Loney shows bunt.
Will Loney hit into a double play, or a triple play?
i think from now on all of our batters should show a bunt to start off an at bat.
It'll be our thing.
Well, for Loney that's a good at-bat. Any time he doesn't ground into a double-play, I guess.
Loney now 0-for-4 in the two hole
Loney making only one out is a positive.
fuck, and that was a three-pitch K for pete's sake. where's the fucking pride, FJL?
DAMMIT
Beefpile, meet Nomo. Gnomes, Beefpile.
PRETEND YOU'RE PINCH HITTING, TONY!
Buntem if you gotem.
Yeah, just a tease.
I hate this game.
its like Loney has a final destination with DPs.
They can't be avoided, only passed on to another victim.
Good news, everybody! Troy Tulowitzki strained his groin!
Nic: +1
oh. I see it now
(clap clap)
(clapclapclap)
(clapclapclapclap)
Tu-Lo!
dammit belli, don't give these back so easily
I don't like our chances of scoring 6 runs...for the rest of the week.
All those cheap RBIs we gave up are haunting us now.
If you are going to walk him at least hit him.
In the face.
well...
Double-clutch by Herrera on the potential DP costs us another run.
So all we need to do is trade for a first baseman, a second baseman, and a third baseman. Oh and probably a shortstop.
It is amazing how easy it is to get not used to losing.
We had a ton of practice at it last year.
@Paul, and a spare hamstring for our CF.
Angels lost.
OMG AK hit into a DP.
Giants lost.
Maybe the Dodgers should fire
Mickey Hatcher.
Based on CarGo's performance tonight, Karina must have been posting on an Astros blog.
Goddamn Axford. Tired of this fucker.
Yeah, I don't really need to see the injury replay again.
this will not end well
goddammit, swept by the bug-eyed brauns.
Elian HR here.
To add insult to injury, this is a super-long game.
Not swept yet.
Or not.
