Chad Billingsley (3-4, 3.80) vs. Blake Beavan (3-5, 5.22).
If the Dodgers are to win today, take this series and head back home with a head of steam to take on the Angels, then Chad Billingsley will have to channel the mojo he mustered in his last start, when he nearly matched Cliff Lee to keep the Dodgers in the game against the Phillies. Fortunately, Safeco's park factor is on his side; the Seattle park currently ranks as the 29th most pitcher-friendly stadium in the majors. Also, SoSG readers Jason, Paul, and Chris of dodgerfan.net (one more and we have the new Beatles!) will be in attendance to make sure nothing goes wrong. Right, guys?

I'm extremely concerned that we're leaving it to Paul and Jason to make sure things don't go wrong. Them boys is trouble.
I'm extremely worried that I'm just now leaving the house to head to the bar before heading to the game. Will I have enough time to drink myself into believing Chadly can be nails today? Will Paul and I actually join forces today? Will Chris from dodgerfan.net make a cameo appearance?
@Jason
I have infiltrated the Stadium. I am headed to the Pen for a beer and then drink and repeat as needed.
@Paul
I'm running so late I might just get my pregame drunk on in the Pen as well. I won't be there for another 20-30 minutes.
You wearing your SoSG softball shirt?
Yup. I'll be here for a bit and will head back around the second.
I'm wearing my SoSg tee today too. For like he 45th day in a row.
AJ Ellis chant rocking the Pen right now.
The Phillie fanatic is lame, but I found this amusing:

Let's go Dodgers chant going at Elysian
I almost need another beer chant going on in section 133.
Paul, Jason, and Chris = Zan, Jayna, and Gleek
Though I don't know who is who
Didn't Stubbs dry hump and try to kill the Gleek? In that case I would be Gleek.
Get Him to the Gleek?
Form of: an ice penis
Fuck Chad!!! Heading back to the pen after the Dodgers bat in the second Jason.
Kyle Seager sure is being a dick to the team trying to give his brother a job.
TGJ ties it up!
Yay! #Gwynning
New ball game, boys. Now let's stick it up their ass and go home.
Waiting in the Pen for ya Paul! I'll do a tour looking for you.
Dee RBI makes it 2-1 Dodgers! TGJ takes third as Seager tags him but drops the ball!
Wow! 2-1! The LF could have dove for that.
epale everyone!
Scoreless in SF, bot 2.
Epale, K!
Russell Martin walk-off HR completes the sweep of the Mets for the Yankees.
Beavan is not getting that inside call.
Rancho ardiendo here.
Where's Butthead, Beavan?
heh heh heh
DRE GS!
FIRST DODGERS GRAND SLAM THIS SEASON!
Yoink!!!!!!
+4 RBI for Ethier!
GRAND SLAM!!!!!!
Bamsucka
Holy shit. Way to get back into the groove, Dre!
holy macaroni, Dre, that was beautiful
Dregasm
Cmon Chad, throw some zeros up on the board
So, about that park factor....
long fly to Bobby for out number one
nice play, AJ
Bills with the two-out walk. Two on. Likes a challenge, I see.
Chad walks the guy hitting .163
pitching around him to get to the .160 hitter
Chad is grinding.
Got him.
phew
have Jason and Paul found each other yet? I am giddy with anticipation!
Hmmm, Beavan pulled. Injury?
Beavan done
Bobby tricked by that one
AJ AJs
Kennedy hits it well but right at Ichiro
I think he pulled his Beavan.
Bills sits Ichiro down.
how about another zero, Chad?
We're only in the third inning?
Chad refuses to go 1-2-3.
grr
1-2-3-41
Nice, Chad
Gwynn lays down the perfect bunt single. Donnie must be so proud right now.
wow, great bunt, Tone
that was super close
yuck
TEX 3, SF 0, bot 5.
Dodgers' 5th DP of the series.
The Paul - Jason conference has occurred. It was downright Yalta-esque.
Well, that was a nice looking DP by the Mariners.
1-2-3 for Chad!
That was some nice movement, Chad.
Furbush is in
At last my Jason has arrived!
Furbush is always in.
"James Loney grounds out softly..."
I'll come out:
well-executed bunting is AWESOME.
throw strikes, Chad
How about:
Well-executed bunting is OCCASIONALLY EFFECTIVE.
Orioles walking off the Phillies twice this weekend. What is this warm and fuzzy feeling?
fly ball from Ichiro, 2 outs
@karina: if it has to do with the phillies, it's probably a fungus.
Tex 5, SF 0
What inning are Paul and Jason supposed to recreate the running-on-the-field scene from Fever Pitch?
(in the seventh)
Chad's 7th K ends the inning
@Orel it depends, if you can move a runner, it works. No one knows if the hitter is gonna hit a HR or strike out.
#beisbolcaribealltheway
"News of the day: Juan Uribe possibly rejoining the team against the Angels?" When did we decide we didn't want to win?
Furbush!
Furbush making us look bad
#parkfactor
that sounded good
Urine!!!!!!!???!? No thank you.
nice work, Chad!
lets get the bats going again
Charley is salivating over the Mariners' frequent flier miles
100
7th inning stretch, 6-1 LA
Dodgers go meekly in the 7th
@Paul ad Jason
Who was on top?
Furbush is not letting us score! Hehe he.
How about one more clean inning, Chad?
I like good Chad.
@Dusty
Both on top. A little trick I learned from Stubbs.
What is the Moose doing in the corner?
Off the kneetops?
Nice job, Chad!
@Paul all those groupies and you learn tricks from Stubbs?
This Mariners bullpen is pretty (Fur)bush League.
*Sigh. I know, I'm sorry.
Karina just had the comment of the day.
Abreu double!
"Both on top. A little trick I learned from Stubbs."
"What is the Moose doing in the corner?"
"Off the kneetops?"
"Nice job, Chad!"
I'm having flashbacks to the night I lost my virginity! Seriously, were all of you there?
Nice, Karina!
Bobby!
@Karina
The groupies just want me to keep singing Menudos tracks and maintaing my great hair.
Bobby takes 3rd on a WP! Ate his Wheaties this morning!
Loney RBI! His 20th! 7-1 Dodgers!
Geico!
get him home, James
@Cliff
Well, yeah, of course I was there.
Did I mean nothing to you?
woop!
8-1, bishes!
"they're imploding on themselves." - MDIL
yay!
@Dusty
you'll never be my Maggie Mae
@Orel
Tht was a pinch runner (Castellanos) to third not ABrew.
@Cliff
Bitch.
Can we please, for once, beat the Angels in the season series? Please?
Release the seagulls!!! Ahh birdpoop!!
@Karina
Who do you think trained all the groupies?
Looks like Chadley's done for the day. Well done, Bubblebutt.
Where is Neeebs when I néed him. He eats seagull.
Hey, the Giants also lost!
great stuff, Chad!
One and done for Ichiro.
Carawash playing.
cc: Spanky
Thanks, Dusty. I was briefly discombobulated by the thought of Abreu sliding into third.
@Stubbs a/s/l?
*blushes*
nice job, jamey
Cotton Eye Joe playing.
Cc: Neeebs' Attorney.
Lincecum allows 5 ER over 5.2 innings. His record is 2-7.
@karina
Me or the groupies?
attaboy, Elian
@Stubbs both?
seriously, who is Elian?
That was quick.
Let's close this mother out.
"Lady Luck" from that California Lottery commercial is the next Mrs. Beefpile. She will be mine. Oh yes.
another GIDP
What woman wouldn't want to be known as Mrs. Beefpile?
"That was quick."
"Let's close this mother out."
Again, stop eavesdropping on my love life.
So who does get sent down to make room for Fatty Boombalatty? IDJ or Castle? (If you're really going to "make room" you need to send down both.)
Tolleson!
One pitch, one hit. Hmmm.
Probably IDJ?
Cmon, Tolley. Let's make this a better showing this time
Build me up buttercup playing.
cc: Dusty.
RBI-double. Let's see how patient Donnie is.
I thought this kid was supposed to be good.
Build me up buttercup playing.
cc: Dusty.
yikes
Nice play by Loney.
nice pickup, James
nasty
Never mind.
@karina
Hard to say for the groupies. We lost track of a lot of them after that DEA raid on the tour bus in Visalia, and Neeebs forbade us to ask about the first two in the interest of plausible deniability.
Dodgers win! Lead back to 5!
Nice recovery, Tolleson.
WOOOP!
Right now, the Dodgers are like Parker Lewis.
can't lose.
That was quite a roadtrip, very unexpected by me after the Brewers series
We make interleague party!
Chris Meyers on Prime Ticket?
Myers
Above .500 in interleague. Enjoy it for the moment.
Parker Lewis reference. Karina's on fire!
NL in general seems to be doing well this season, for a change.
Have Paul and Jason drunk Seattle dry yet?
@Josh_Suchon: "AL is +7 in interleague. AL East +4, AL Central +1, AL West +2, NL East -4, NL Central -3, NL West even"
I blame the Mets
One thing I've learned: it's impossible to drink Seattle dry.
That doesn't mean you have to stop trying, Jason.
@Orel *blushes*
I think we did two game 59 threads. Which would have made yesterday 60 and today's 61.
Am I cray?
Not cray. I just noticed the same thing.
Oh, shit. That's on me.
Now we've got two 60s
I wish I had two forties.
And, the GT numbering fixed
