Hanleywood......
— Hanley Ramirez (@HanleyRamirez) July 25, 2012
Aaron Harang (7-5, 3.46) vs. Kyle Lohse (10-2, 2.71)
And with the above tweet, the Hanley Ramirez era begins for the Dodgers. With all the comparisons to the last time the Dodgers traded for a Ramirez, how funny is it that Hanley's first game will be #99? (Maybe. No lineup or word of his arrival, as of this writing.)
EDIT: He has arrived.
He arrives at the perfect time, as the bats could use a shot of life after last night's 8-2 thumping. This highlight is old as hell (LOL Brian Falkenborg!), but hopefully it's a sight Dodger fans will be enjoying on a regular basis.

Lincecum removed to start the sixth
@kengurnick: Ramirez will start tonight.
^^^
Saw that Hanley's taking #13. Presumably in tribute to SoSG Alex Cora.
Wasn't the extra WC spot supposed to dampen the trade deadline somewhat? This seems like an unusually active year in spite of it.
@Stubbs: Maybe nothing will happen on July 31st.
the era of HANLEYWOOD begins!
Holy shit, Ken sighting!
(Assuming you're the same Ken of old)
@PONealFSWest: "Hanley Ramirez will start at 3rd for the #Dodgers. Cruz remains at short for tonight."
@Stubbs: More teams (believing they're) in contention means more teams trying to get better.
...and more teams unwilling to let go of players as well, I guess.
I know Hanley is at third tonight, but I've gotta wonder if we're still in on Aramis.
TRADE FOR ALL THE RAMIREZES.
No roster moves announced and Kennedy is showing as available. I'm assuming that, for now, Hanley just took Eo's spot on the 25 and 40-man.
I don't want Richard Ramirez.
6-2. Marquis giving up that second run in the bottom of the eighth knocks him out after 7.1 IP.
Abreu LF
Mellis 2B
Kemp CF
Ethier RF
Ramirez 3B
Loney 1B
Cruz SS
Ajellis C
Harang P
Seeing the names Kemp, Ethier, and Ramirez together in a lineup again...nice wave of nostalgia.
Pleeeeeease let Broxton go to the Giants.
Presumably Choate replaces Kennedy, then?
6-3 Padres bottom of the 8th, runners on first and third. Come on, assholes!
6-3 SD going to the ninth inning
6-3 going to the bottom of the ninth
Two down.
Off topic: What's the name of the French soccer chick that SoSG has blogged about it? Is she on their Olympic team?
Madres win.
Hallelujah, Giants lost.
We now have two games before SF plays again. Can we whittle the lead to one game, entering a weekend series in SF?
@Mr F: Laure Bolleau
Oh wait, it's Laure Boulleau. I was watching USA-France highlights and so I got to wondering...
@Mr. F
You mean Laure Bolleau?
I have no idea whether Laure Bolleau is competing this summer.
Whoo hoo! Laure Boulleau is on the French Olympic team!!!
DAMMIT...for getting beaten to the punch, otherwise WHOOHOO!
Woohoo Laure!
@Cliffy
A whole fuckton, that's for sure. Howard and Utley don't exactly get paid in Pez, either.
Quick research indicates they're coughing up $100M a year, just for those five guys.
Victorino, Pence, Rollins, and Blanton are all around $10M per, as well.
Ms. Boulleau is never off-topic, Mr. F.
@Sax (3:05pm)
I dunno, I hear he's got a wicked cutter.
Boulleau this!
@Hideo 3:12 I was feeling the same thing, like nostalgic of '08 & '09
I've seen Blanton's name come up in the names of Phillies availables. I pray to god we don't end up with him
@FB
Now that Coffey is on the 60 day DL, SOMEBODY has to sit opposite Uribe on the charter for balance.
Joe Ballast?
The Dodgers will trade for Blanton just to get some use out of all those XX-Large jerseys.
@Stubbs 4:11p: an hour late but still LOL. I snarfed my drink
@Stubbs 4:59p: oh shit, Colletti will go after Sandoval now
I may have been late on the delivery, but serial killer comedy has no expiration date.
stupid Lyons already asking the "where would play if you had the choice" question. Ass
@Stubbs, and Papelbon is earning more than $11 million too. I picture the Phillies ownership having the kind of vault filled with gold coins and going for a swim in it, a la Scrooge McDuck.
Isn't Ryan Howard getting $25 million a year?
Damn, I try to forget about him!
@Marla
Baseball Reference says $20M until 2014. Then it jumps to $25M
ahh the awkward dugout greeting between Hanley and Ted Lilly. Can't beat that!
As annoying as the Phils are, I kinda have to give them credit for properly identifying their window of opportunity. However, there is going to come a time when they are just abysmal.
^The Houston trajectory
Bunt? Abreu? Out? WTF?
yay bunting!
I hope Abreu becomes an ump when he retires. That would be awesome.
nice play by Frieezeie
@Nomo El Comedulce is always awesome
epale everyone!
boring!
OMG why don't you start a blog about hot female soccer players?
I'd read the hell out of that blog.
Great idea, Karina!
I've seen a hot women's volleyball player blog before--and I'll just say it's not the least bit conducive to work productivity.
Hanley's Gameday picture already has him wearing a Dodgers cap.
Here we go! Hanley's first PA in blue!
Hanley
Woot!!!!!
I'll take that, Han
Wooohooo! A triple in his first AB as a Dodger!
"You, Ramirez, hit a home run!"
"How 'bout a triple?"
"Good enough!"
First-pitch swinging! No out!
Run Hanley run!
Triple! Welcome to the Dodgers!
That is auspicious.
And here comes Loney to drive him in! Or not.
Hanley scores!
Hanleywood!
In play, run(s)!
Loney gets the run home.
good job, James
I forgot how much i hate ESPN announcers.
stupid walks
Dodgers take the lead, thanks to Hanley!
Dodgers about to give it back, thanks to Harang!
When is Hanley coming back up to bat again?
Soon, hopefully?
at least we got the Freese GIDP I suppose
Hey, at least with Hanley, we're not losing. That's a significant step up.
Freese double play
1 run allowed is probably as good as we could have hoped for.
Still can't believe Lyons tweets while calling a game.
#potkettleblack
Ethier already benefiting from Hanley's protection!
Nice hustle by Ethier.
Looks like a wonky strike zone again tonight.
Great job swinging at the first pitch, Loney.
Shit. i'm falling asleep.
Loney needs to wake up, too
nice error, FJL
Good thing Loney isn't known for his glove.
Anybody think Donny or Dave Hansen can trick Hanley into not trying to hit home runs every time?
There's that vaunted Loney D.
jeez James
Ajellis double
Harang is swinging away? Huh?
I guess A.J. was already in scoring position, but still.
Two one-out doubles go for naught.
Someone has to remind Mattingly he is managing in the NL not the AL.Dummy
Dammit.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We're losing? In the Hanley Ramirez era?
Unpossible.
Mellis!
Okay let's try a 0-out double.
Has there been a Son that went by Jose Offerman?
Ellis leadoff double. Heart of order up next.
Milk & Cheese!
Come on Matty! get a hit bish.
Kemp: K
Ethier: line out
Hanley: ?
HANLEY RIBEE
HAN!!!!
Hanleywood!
Ribbie!
HANLEY, AGAIN!
Hanley RBI! Tied at 2!
HAHNREEEE
@DodgersKingsoftheGalaxy 6:41p: There was at one point, but we had to let him go as he made too many errors.
Does Hanley steal bases?
Hanley RBI!
Hanley says "shut up Karina, stop bitching"
Hanley put two fingers over his eyes as he stood on first after the hit. Tony Jr was in the dugout doing the same thing and you could see him ask Clayton "what's this mean?"
keep us tied, Aaron
Siddown, Mothballs.
Mothballs was my nickname back in high school.
All tied up through six frames. Let's go, Los Angeles Hanleys!
Cruz: in play, no out
Leadoff single for Cruz in the seventh
AJ DP, and Harang K. Sigh.
Harang's pitching a good game. Hope it doesn't go to waste.
"Mothballs": genius.
cmon, Matty, find your groove
Collins has been very Steinery tonight
stupidass walks
this can't end well
Anyone up in the bullpen?
Where did that miss?
dammit ump! that was a strike
furcal walks. first and second with one out, harang at 116 pitches with the game tied at 2 in the bottom of the eighth.
yikes.
Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
hey hey hey, it's phat elbert
Walkity walk walk.
nice fucking pitching,folks.
Elbert, I am so tired of you
Walk the bases loaded. Great strategy.
based on Belli's recent performances, get ready for a grand slam
I'm sure Belisario will induce a double play grounder from Holliday.
Han to Luke in trash compactor: "I got a bad feeling about this."
Guess Im less intuitive than Han
UH
holy hell, nice call Orel
No time for committee,Neeebs.
PHEW!
I wouldn't be surprised if Holliday keeps a Dodgers vodoo doll somewhere
I'm sick and tired of seeing Loney in a Dodger uni.
Time to drink Motte's apple juice.
Make yourself useful, Hanley.
TRADE HANLEY
Loney is up. Move the outfield in.
Loney got hoopled.
Hahahahaha! A 5-6-3!
So, uh, why did Miami trade FOR Carlos Lee again?
Unconventional, but effective.
wow!
Thank goodness Yadier is so damn slow.
Hey wha happened?..................''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Swing you mofo
We need a damn catcher.
Shit. Urine.
You want swinging? Here's Urine.
It's a pee pee miracle!
Josh to close it out
fudge
picked off, bishes!
wow pickoff!
goddamn walks
CUT THE SHIT
Tell'em, Donnie!
You tell 'em, Donnie!
You tell 'em, Donny. The strike zone has been ridiculous for each of the last two games.
I get one "dammit", Cliffy gets two.
Echo, echo, echo...
DAMMIT
DAMMIT!X2
AJ with the theatrics.
nice work from Choate
Let's score some runs now, 'kay?
ok let's get some runs!
I'm feeling a Matty homer.
Donnie already overusing Choate
Well, not Donnie, but same result.
we gonna see Loney pitch tonight?
Go ahead run on.
No DP, por favor.
