vs.
Chicago Dog (0-1) vs. Dodger Dog (1-0)
Chad Billingsley (4-4, 3.57) vs. Philip Humber (2-4, 5.92)
Billingsley seeks his third win in a row, going up against a pitcher in Humber who has gotten his buns kicked of late after pitching a perfect game earlier this season. In interleague play, the Dodgers have never won a series against the White Sox, so tonight's matchup presents a great opportunity to nail down a victory and a series win.
It also presents an opportunity, if you're attending the game as I am, to sample the famous (infamous?) Chicago Dog. According to impeccable source Wikipedia, the Chicago Dog is:
If Billingsley puts a little extra mustard in his game we should be able to take it to these wieners. Anyone else going to the Yard tonight? Leave a comment and let us know; maybe we can ketchup.

...a steamed or water-simmered all-beef frankfurter on a poppy seed bun, originating from the city of Chicago, Illinois. The hot dog is topped with yellow mustard; chopped white onions; bright green sweet pickle relish; a dill pickle spear; tomato slices or wedges; pickled sport peppers; and a dash of celery salt.Um, yeah. All Beef Super Dodger Dog beats this steaming pile of dog doo hands down every day. It's hard to even look at the picture of the Chicago Dog without gagging. To each their own, I suppose. Anyway, it's cool that Dodger Stadium concession folks are nimble enough to feature a special culinary offering based on which team is in town.

I'm fascinated by the news that Dodger Stadium will sell Chicago Dogs for this weekend's series. Where did you see that news item, Dusty?
Looks like the Marlins do localized fare, too.
The Chicago hot dog is to an actual hot dog what the Chicago pizza is to real pizza: an abomination that is to be ridiculed and avoided.

@Dave
I couldn't agree more. I am a certified pizza freak, but I will NEVER understand the so-called Chicago style pizza. It's just several pounds of cheese sorta melted in a soggy pizza "crust".
But how about that Chicago sushi?
Here at the Ravine! Field level section 1!
pickle relish and regular pickles in a hot dog? sounds retarded.
I like everything except that radioactive green shit.
Why the Hulk hate, Nomo?
On the couch with pan pizza in my stomach, Vin!
Where the hell is everyone? Dejesus Colorado
It felt like we got more out of that inning than we did, didn't it?
Still. We can get to this punk.
We really do suck at cashing the man on 3rd in...
House just acknowledged Tommy, our Dodgefather, and crowd gave him a nice standing ovation.
Botched the transfer...
You fucking kidding me? alexi ramierez?! He gets no capitalization...
Where you at Dusty?
alexi is a girl's name. Probably a porno name.
Why does our staff make opposing pitchers look like bating champs?
I want to get pissed, but, y'know, last night.
alexi is my porn name...
This seems to be going well.
@Paul
Loge level 151 (like the Bacardi)
Row K (as in something Bills hasn't had many of tonight)
Who the fuck is that guy?
Wow - havent hear from Mr Customer in a long time
Humber Blunder
I didn't know they gave prisoners internet access in Kyrgyzstan!
Timmah gives up 2 HRs in the first in Seattle...
Piss.
FuckIn shit Urine swing at that.
Uribe and Loney fail.
3-0 CWS through 2
I thought Mr Customer was in Azkaban?
Chad being Chad
Well shit, if Customer's gonna show his face...
What the hell is happening?
Come on, let's break through on Humber
Do. Not. Waste. Opportunities.
Got one back, that's something.
yay
Who hit the reset button?
Piss.
Holy crap, what the hell just happened?
Fo-Fo, fools!
Our starting pitching has been on the sketchy side of late.
Another pitching duel, I see.
Our defense has been on the sketchy side as of late, too.
I think we're in for another four-hour game tonight.
Our sketches have been on the sketchy side as well.
5-4 Sox. This will not be the final score.
HBP and an error gave the Sox the lead.
Of course I can do the robot!
Ervin Santana has a PERFECT GAME through six innings.
Chadley singles!
Comment streak!
SF 4, SEA 2, bot 4.
PERFECT GAME you say, Orel?
"Humber has been in trouble since the National Anthem." —Vin
PERFECT GAME, Alexi!
DAMMIT
And Chad spent all inning on the basepaths.
Damn, I thought Hairston was going to grab the lead back for us.
5-4 Sox through four
Vin cannot stop talking about how Humber is beleaguered this night. Given how positive Vin always is, I'm wondering if Hmber parked in his spot or something
Nice, Chad.
If that's the case I hope Vinny hocked a luggie on Humbar's hood...
Wait, so the MLB.tv Free Game of the Day isn't blacked out? I can watch this game live on my TV and delayed a minute on my iPad at the same time?
Upton singles, no perfecto for you, Santana.
^ mission accomplished, Orel!
WTF, Gordon/Hairston? Pulling a real Keystone Kops out there. Two errors so far.
Air five, Alex!
A.J. nails Ramirez! Bang bang!
I can't believe Bills lasted 6.
Timmeh coughs up some some runs to the M's.
I'd like a Dodger homer or three this inning.
Who's responsible for tonight's miracle?
SEA 7, SF 4, bot 7!
C'mon, Andre. Earn some of the $85 mil.
^ that
Dylan Hernandez sniping at Bill Plaschke, Tony Jackson sniping at Dylan Hernandez. Everybody must be going stir crazy in the Vin Scully Press Box.
Andre's fouling a lot of balls off. Timing's just a bit off.
Herrera SB! Pierzynski juggles it!
Sox reliever Nate Jones hits 100 mph on the stadium radar gun.
Hairston backwards K.
Dodgers can't score the leadoff man. Still 5-4 Sox.
#commentStreakBroken
Was somebody saying something about the 5-4 score earlier?
I want to do the Father's Day Catch, but I prefer when the team's out of town on Father's Day.
Just you wait, Stubbs.
That was quite a streak, huh? Ten in a row.
Jesse Crain First in to pitch.
Ruined that. Meant Jesse Crain Fist.
Epale everyone!
of course they can win this game, obviously
A.J. Ellis A.J. Ellises.
Donnie getting a little hot at that high strike!
Epale Karina!
Love the optimism as always!
Epale, Karina! Perfect timing for a fresh dose of optimism.
Giants lose!
^

Uribe: K or HR. There is no in between.
Covering your bases, Alex?
Piss.
always, Orel!
Gwynn out by a mile. Rivera will lead off next inning.
how about a walk off?
In other news, i just got free tix to Dodgers/Angels next Sunday, anybody else going down the 5?
For you, Karina? Of course.
Not me, Alex. But make some noise!
I'll take one of those, Karina!
Man, Juan Rivera really looks like Ben Stiller.
Anze Kopitar has a hot date.
I had, have and will always have a crush on Robin Ventura.
*blushes*
First-pitch swinging for Rivera. Great idaa.
^ idea
Really, Karina? He seems so...plain.
OKAY I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE SCORE GEEZ GET OFF MY BACK
AWO(s)
And that's that. See you tomorrow.
@Orel, at least, for me, he is not.
Have a great day, ladies and gents. We'll get them tomorrow.
PGT up. As am I.
