Nathan Eovaldi (0-2, 2.84) vs. Kevin Millwood (3-5, 3.90).
Two starts. Two losses. Nate Eovaldi's short track record hasn't been great this year, despite going 7.0 IP in his first start and 5.2 in his second, each time yielding just two earned runs. But this time, Eovaldi comes in with the momentum of a four-game win streak freight train behind him, against a starter who hasn't lasted more than five innings in his last two starts.
But that's not all Eovaldi will have working for him tonight, however. This is the first time this 2012 season that the Dodgers will have a special 26th man in attendance: Jason. We Sons met Jason (sans machete) last year and let me tell you, this guy's an uber-fan. As some have said, "He's like a great white shark. You can't really defeat him. All you can hope for is to survive." And it will be a Sweet Day indeed if the Dodgers can take their battle quest to Seattle, and put the Mariners through a crash course on how to play like a division leader. (I can't figure out how to work in ghost mansion or ninja castle so I'll stop right there. Sorry about that.)
[Paul, we'll catch you too on a GT one of these days...]

Bring this one home for us, Jason!
Also, can you pick up some beer on the way home?
Cmon Nate! Keep throwing strikes!
Yankees are teeing off on Johan Santana. Cano hit one already and then he, Swisha and Tubby Jones just went back to back to back in the third
stupid stadium
Glad to have Cano on my fantasy team.
Nats beating the Red Sox 6-2 in the 6th. Strasburg and Harper killing 'em.
In the bar next to the stadium warming up. I need entrance music. Suggestions?
@Jason, I'd go with the theme song from "Shaft".
One of the few bad things about the Kings recent success would have to be Bill Plaschke's incompetent ass trying to write about hockey. And I thought he sucked writing about the Dodgers.
Will Vin be announcing?
@CB: Plaschke is about ready to jump on the London Olympics bandwagon, too
Jason can't get the Dodgers to score in the first
epale my favorite fiesta de bomberos!
suicide squeeze to end Reds-Tigers so I can watch Dodgers-Mariners on tv!
I'm back home and liquored up, Vinny!
Holy shit, Dusty just served a beat-down to my fantasy team.
Jason, stand up and wave. There's so few people there, I think I'd see you on tv.
Come on Nate
@Sax- to be for, I was still in the beer line when the Dodgers were up to bat in the first.
Decent Dodger fan turnout tonight. Solid 15 - 20% of an admittedly sparse crowd.
Eovaldi dodges out of trouble
Hint: take a fucking pitch every so often.
0-0 through 3.5
Why is Vin not calling this game?
Two-out hit for the Ms
Jason, if you scream really loud we will probably hear you
If you streak we will probably know about it
So let me get this straight: Kevin Millwood is no-hitting us.
Nate K to end the fourth. 0-0.
Kevin is NO-HITTING US?
Looks like we're going to miss Felix Hernandez. Damn.
There goes the perfect game!
Geez Abreu, how about some effort running that GIDP out? Weak
Abreu DP. NO-HITTER still intact.
Hairston HR right here, I am calling it
Or not
That was a sweet play Dee
Or should I say, it was a sw-ehhhhhhhh-t play Dehhhhhhhh
Lyons says Gwynn shouldn't be playing so deep on ichiro
At least Gwynn keeps his pants on, Psycho
Crazy Train.
Two out two on for the Ms in the fifth
Gordon well positioned for out 3
Millwood taking his NO-HEETER into the sixth.
The Samsung Galaxy Note looks like it would be a great iPhone for Andre the Giant
I call three Dodger hits in sixth inning.
Loney with just enough power to loft one to the center fielder
Still a NO HITTER
AJ strikes out to keep the NO-HITTER intact
Two out in the sixth
Or maybe not.
Gwynn 1-1 count
crappy crap crap
Stadium's filled in a bit and the late comers are all Dodger fans, stereotypes be damned.
I'm suffering from the curse of Dusty: no Red Hook roving beer guy behind home plate, yet.
Eovaldi gets no support.
We are getting pwned by Dillwood here
Gwynn Ks to end the sixth
NO-HITTER continues.
Tex 3, Sf 0 T6
DP here would be sweet
Nice k on Smoakster there, Nate!
No Smoaking!
Top of the 7th prediction:
K
2B
1B - RBI
GIDP
Eovaldi is throwing a FIVE-HITTER.
Millwood pulled after 68 no-hit pitches?
Donnie does not like this injury substitution.
Warm up pitches are ALL over the place.
IN PLAY, NO OUT!
Error! NO-HITTER is still alive!
C'mon Rivera, end this farce.
Why was Millwood pulled out?
TGJr playing way towards left all inning.
Shit.
Shit, indeed.
Dammit. Mariners lead 1-0.
Strained groin for Millwood.
The Rangers are beating SF 4-0.
Is a strained groin like strained peas?
Bobby works the walk!
C'mon, JHJ!
Jerry works the walk!
Alright! 2 on, nobody out--let's do this, Dodgers!
"How ya like me now?" You still tasted like watered down piss, Miller Lite.
Someone named Lucas Luetge is coming in to pitch.
Hope he doesn't pull his Luetge.
Loney actually gets the bunt down. Phew! Lots of blue in those stands!
Loney bunts 'em over. Guess we should be glad he didn't BIDP.
Brandon League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in.
A.J. can't sac.
Come on A.J.!
Come on Tony!
Goddammit.
What a waste of two leadoff walks. We deserve to lose this game.
ARGH
Good thing I'm already drunk, or this would piss me off,
I want nothing more than to know that my friends in Seattle are crying into their fleece tonight. Come on, Dodgers!
What is going on?
So it all comes down to this....
That was an awfully high strike, ump.
No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter
What???
Two outs until infamy.
Ooof. That was close.
No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter No hitter no hitter
Well, dozens of fans can say they saw a patch-work no-hitter.
*curls into fetal position*
Whiskey.
Tango.
Foxtrot.
Paul, go up there and clean up this shit!
Catcher is the only one that really cares.
Well that was humiliating.
I blame Jason.
Wow. Didn't expect that.
Yes sir!
Operation: " clean up this shit and get drunk" starts tomorrow.
This road trip has had some peaks and valleys already.
I don't get it.
Seattle, you're on fucking notice anyway.
We will not take this sitting down, Seattle! Well, we will...but we're gonna be really drunk and really mean in our comments while we do it! Bitches.
Heh. Furbush.
Boooooooze! ('cause that's what I have left)
PGT up.
