Chad Billingsley (4-5, 3.75 ERA) vs. Dan Haren (4-7, 3.97 ERA)
What better way is there to recover from a tough series than to match up against your cross-town rivals? You know, the ones we haven't won a series against since 2009. After losing two of three games at home, surely THIS will be the time that the stars align in our favor! WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
In other news, I've been playing this slot machine for 27 hours straight, but it is DUE!

Stubbs: I am not worried.
What? Me?
Yep, pulling out the stops for this one. We TOTALLY got this, guys!

I shaved my beard, hoping for a mojo change.
I also got rid of my facial hair.
Heyo!
Hiyooooo!
Did you really shave, Nomo? I was thinking of doing the same, and so I might base my decision on your lead.
DAMMIT!
Yup. Really shaved. Had it since the three-game winning streak that opened the season.
(watches hot stove) - nothing happens
Sandusky verdict in 20.
That whole situation completely bums me out.
What a monster.
Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have dragged this thread down with that.
Watching on Gameday, Vinny!
In my drawers with a beer, Vinny!
I don't get why you would want to go stand and wave at tw live feed cameras waiting for a verdict of a massive child abuse trial.
Leave your furniture alone, Stubbs!
Not even 7:10 and Dee Gordon has grounded out.
442 max sentence.
Years^
Last post on this topic: Sandusky hit .958.
In play, run(s)!
Yeah, sorry guys.
Time for baseball.
Babbah!
OMG Abreu HR!
Nice to see a little former-team revenge break our way for once!
First Abreu homers, then Loney walks? This is an odd night.
AK needs to jack one out here with that loopy swing of his.
Mike Trout bunt grounds out? Is it opposite day today?
Vin describing Timmah's misfortune is audio gold.
@Buster_ESPN: "Tim Lincecum 20 pitches so far, zero missed swings, and has allowed three hits on two strikes. 1-0 Oakland, bases loaded, nobody out."
More runs!
Beautiful!
Dodgers 4, Angels 0
A's 3, Giants 0
SCOUT: James Loney has no pop.
My beard died so that our offense might live.
SCOUT: James Loney has flop.
Don't let'em off the mat, Chad.
Whatever you're doing, Bills, stop it.
epale everyone!
i've been 10 minutes staring at the computer wondering why I can"t watch this game for free if it is the mlb free game :(
Epale, Karina! At least we got some runs for you while you wait.
Epale, Karina! Are you normally able to watch free games?
Is Chad laboring like he was in past starts?
Doesn't have his strikeout stuff tonight.
Trout goes fishin'
What do I have to shave to get Chad to pitch better?
@Orel nope, but a kind spirit gave me the MLB radio subscription. I don't know how I could live without Vin, Jaime Jarrin and Fernando so much time.
Sweet AB, AJ!
OK, kids, I gotta do some quick errands (including a BevMo run). Don't let this one get out of hand.
Dee on pace
For an 0-9 night.
How do you decide which announcer to listen to, Karina?
That would be an…achievement.
Dodgers 5, Angels 3, bot 3
A's 3, Giants 1, bot 3
KEEP BUNTING, TORIII HUNTER
Torii Hunter bunt grounds out?
Andre Ethier is 3 for 3 with 3 singles.
After all this Haren is still probably going 6 innings.
@Orel first Vin, when he leaves, it's time for el Sr. Jaime y Fernando :)
We may need more runs.
Man this is going to be a depressing loss.
Very nice, Karina.
Chad is giving it all back.
sorry karina but i can't stand these little shits who can't hit for dick except for against us. Callaspo's only rbi is against us
Tie game or we are losing.
And there it is.
get back to the river :(
of course a bunt will beat us
NOW we're losing.
what
the
hell
Trout needs to shut his mouth while he runs the bases.
Trout gets a fastball in the gills next time up
except Bills wont throw at anybody
Manny's bobblehead night was the last good moment of that season
Do not squander.
attaboy, Juan
Here we go! Rivera opens the sixth with a single.
^ fifth
I SAID DON'T LET IT GET OUT OF HAND.
THIS VONS IS SEEING ANGRY NOMO.
@orel
Don't mind if I do!
*drinks*
why is there a cop sitting down the bench from Bills? Are they afraid a disgruntled fan will try to do something to him? because they aren't wrong
No Loney double play is almost OK by me.
Loney didn't LIDP
Gah, Kennedy's tobacco wad is nauseating.
why don't guys like Kennedy ever get hurt?
Haha, Haren one out away from being in line for a win.
seriously, gritty worthless veterans never get hurt
Wasn't Erstad perpetually hurt? (exception that proves the rule, perhaps)
A nice shot of Uribe pouring food from a tube down his gullet
June is destroying AJ's all star bid.
Erstad was perpetually an asshole.
I fear Angry Nomo. C'mon Dodgers!
I think the league has finally figured out that you should just throw strikes to AJ
Too true, Nic.
Erstad spelled his first name like Bobby Darin's last name
two sharp innings from Bills coming up
Nope.
maybe not
In August maybe.
Bills lost is his razor in Oakland
So, for those of you keeping track at home :01 = shitty offense, :59 = shitty pitching.
trying to look mean(ish)
@Nomes 5:40 - I was all set to cut all my hair off tonight but I was talked out of it.
that shit is unacceptable
Chad just keeps digging himself into a deeper hole.
throw strikes, dumbfuck
sorry
Nice snag, E!
Bills, I am on your side, but you make it hard to root for you
wow
90 pitches for Chad through 5.
When is Dre going to hurt himself on one of those plays?
Please, no more Bills tonight.
Will it be bad mojo if the gnome comes back tomorrow?
Damn, Bills.
We need to mix things up, K. Do what you must.
At least get one this inning, guys.
Bills seems to get bailed out a lot.
I think I brought this up before, about getting difficult outs.
I guess when you have a lot of guys on, those kind of outs save more runs than when nobody is on
@karina - change is good
If Bills is going to pitch like crap he needs to do
Something useful and carry Matt Kemp around in a rickshaw on his off days.
cheesus - we don't need guys singling in front of Dee
Yeah, FB. I would agree more hard-hit balls generally would translate to more dramatic defense.
@Nic - to make those thighs bigger
@FB, after his thighs are nice and plump we can harvest his hamstrings to transplant into kemp.
when is a pitcher going to go behind the mound and scuff out those stupid team logos? I assume that will mean the home pitcher will start throwing at the other team but shit, that shit is wack and somebody needs to do something about it
Piss off, blue.
Dee needs a ticket to Albuquerque.
DEE PEE.
Dee isn't going anywhere unless Sellers comes off the DL.
Wasted.
@Stubbs 9:10: Don't mind if I do.
Dee needs a ticket to wherever we have Mr. Customer locked away.
I leave the interpretation to the reader.
Well, on the bright side We Can probably win tomorrow. If we don't then we might not win again untill Clayton pitches game 2 of the Giants series.
Wright has been surprisingly competent.
Uribe has been unsurprisingly corpulent.
That'll teach be to go throwing compliments around.
Hey guys how we doin.....aw fuck his. Fuck Bills. Fuck Loney fuck bunts.
Nice play by Wright.
why do karina's boys always kill us?
Holy crap, I can't believe that worked.
How many doubles have we given up tonight?
Giants threatening, top 7.
Mama's Little Yella Pils is starting to make things better.
I think like 4 and a 3B
how is Mike Trout a better base stealer than Dee?
Anyone else noticed on that Karros commercial for his bobblehead the flash back is for a game in August 1999 but they show Piazza rounding third?
stupid outfield rocks
Oh, we're so hosed.
Wow, that was pretty embarrassing.
Losing streak. We need a slump buster.
how do two guys score on a single?
i hate this
I have to admit, this is pretty unwatchable.
OK now Loney is no good defensively. Can we cut him now?
Go A's!
It seriously baffles me how Loney is still in the major leagues.
seriously, I will be surprised if we are still in first after the series in San Francisco
Giants are playing just as crappy right now.
Wright is only effective when teams swing at is crazy breaking stuff out of the zone. The only reason people swing is that they think "Hey that's Jamey Wright, he sucks, I can hit him." He's like an older AJ Burnett
we just gotta be less crappy
i am worried about Dusty
When placing blame on why this team is struggling to score runs right now its hard for me to put a ton of blame on Dee. He hits like a young middle infielder trying to find his way.
Loney on the other hand plays first base and hits like a young middle infielder trying to find his way.
So we need Matthew Herbert Walker Kemp back! Don't rush back but man we miss you.
Scoring 9 runs right now seems about as improbable as the Dodgers scoring the first 5...so we have a chance!
Kendrick running at "three run lead" speed for that bloop
Uribe had 24 HR in the last year he was with the Giants. He has 5 about halfway through his 3 year contract with the Dodgers.
coLOLettii
If Urine hits a homerun I'll go sober for month.
Uribe to hit into triple play where two outs will count for the next inning
THe best outcome here is that Uribe hurts his wrist on a HR.
is Downs wearing a Kenny Powers wig?
that 3-1 pitch was the one. Uribe should have smashed that into the gap
3-7 with Uribe back
Uribe clearly wasn't listening to Gameday Scout.
sorry karina, I am counting this one already
He swung at ball four. Dick.
But I'm an optimist I don't have to be sober!!
why didn't I cut my hair?
Why couldn't we play the Angels in April?
Callaspo and Aybar killing us
wonderful, Coffey time
big HR coming up
how bad is Imperial Gold Russian Vodka? I heard you have to mix it with Everclear
is this the last inter league series?
"at least 240"
I am at least 240 too
I wonder how many "Stop losing to the Angels" emails Kasten is getting in his suggestion box.
The Astros going to the AL means that each league will have an odd number of teams and that means there will always be an interleague series going on. Is this MLB's effort to make MLB a single league like the NFL? I assume we will have to give up the DH fight at some point
ESPNLA seriously needs to get someone to run the Dodger blog on their site. Worldwide sports leader my ass.
goddamn Fox game
Hope not, personally hate the DH.
Mainly because we end up having Adam Kennedy or Garret Anderson as ours.
I don't recognize Isringhausen. He looks more like Rick Honeycutt than a current major league pitcher
put Dee back at 8th!
he is hitting worse than when you pushed him to the bottom of the lineup the first time
that's a Dee home run there
who's having fun?!
not me
I miss Matt.
I know this is the sound of the underconfident fan, but we have @Angels, @Giants, Mets, Reds and @Dbacks before the all-star break. I wouldn't be shocked if we go 5-12 in those games (winning 1 per series).
I hope we get 9 of those game
Vin setting up the SF series being for first place
Tolleson coming in
I am tired
and tired of this
goddam interleague
Just gotta hang around the division lead until we can get Matt back.
The NL West is awful this year, no one is running away.
