Chad Billingsley (6-9, 3.89) vs. Jeff Samardzija (7-8, 4.19).
Earlier in the week, I mocked the Dodgers' apparent strategy to depend upon Giants losses to keep us atop the NL West. Surprisingly, despite being swept by the Diamondbacks, the Giants lost three of four to the woeful Mets as well. So hey, that strategy may not be so bad after all! And we sit a mere half-game back of first.
So bring on the Cubs. We won't get a chance to see Ryan Dempster anymore (now that he's getting shelled in Texas), but hopefully this is the closest we'll have to get to the whiffosity of Alfonso Soriano. On our side of the trade deadline moves (or non-moves), perhaps Hanley Ramirez can notch his first hit at home tonight, or even Shane Victorino could get his first hit as a Dodger. Miracles could happen; so, I will be there at the Stadium tonight just in case. Drop a line if you want to grab a beverage.

Holy shit, we claimed Cliff Lee.
I would like to grab a beverage, but I am not at the game.
That will not stop me from grabbing said beverage.
If you grab a beverage with Rick Monday, does that make it a BevMo?
Thanks, you're too kind.
Clearly.
Dodgers claim Stevie Wonder's wife.
Gah. So sleepy I accidentally took a second multivitamin when I meant to take a second Vitamin C.
Mr. F looks like Bonds now.
Yahoo:
"- D. Jeter doubled to pitcher"
wtf?
Dodgers claymation.
Dodgers claim Eredith.
Rockies and Phillies doing us no favors.
Kirk out!
@Mr. F: Jeter's hit went off the glove of Millwood and into left.
Oh hey, Trayvon's playing for the Mariners.
(grabs beverage)
(grabs them cakes)
The players have to learn about TekWar sooner or later
Dodgers claim Charlie Manuel
Dodgers claimed self-defense.
*rimshot*
On the sofa, Vinny!
Dodgers claim bankruptcy....oh, wait.
Eric Stephen reporting that the LF scoreboard showed Vinny's Prime Ticket opening tonight. Hell of a tradition to start!

epale everyone!
I love Matt Kemp
Epale, Karina! Matt Kemp loves you.
Kenny Powers is pitching for the Cubs!
Victorino still hitless as as Dodger.
I know he's a switch hitter, but that double-flap helmet is so dopey. Fookie always used two helmets.
It makes him look like more of a penis.
Kemp goes warning track.
Bryan LaHurr
Now I'm picturing Furcal wearing one helmet on top of another.
One good bloop deserves another.
Vin thinks Samardzija is hot.
Vin was kind of gushing about him.
Hitless Hanley.
You'll never believe this, but James Loney just hit into a double play!
That Captain Morgan knows how to party.
STOOPID JERMS LERNEY.
Loney Loneys to end the inning.
GIJL
I could have grown four beards in the time it's taken Chad to grow what he has.
But Chad could fit four of your thighs in one of his.
Woo Hoo!!! Just cause.
Nice reflexes, Chad.
SF 7, COL 0, top 7
ARI 4, PHI 2, F
A.J. GO BOOM!
Ajellis is Ajellin'!
I'm jealous of AJ Ellis.
Vin has had a longtime crush on Samardzija. As soon as I saw Samardzija was pitching, I thought here we go again with the 6'5" and the Notre Dame football and shit. Even Mrs Dusty piped in soon into the game and noted what a crush Vin has on Samardzija.
To be fair, half of us feel the same way about Matty, and the other half of us feel the same way about Dre.
Some of us feel that way about Laure Boulleau.
@Nomo at 7:41
Billingsley could grow a million beards in the time it'd take me to grow one.
Uh oh, Vin talking bat size again.
I'm with you, Mr. F. Beardless wonder.
KKKKKK
I ain't at the Yard, Sax. Mrs Dusty said we weren't going this morning. Then tonight we got home and wondered why we weren't. (cries)
Tie game.
SF 7, COL 4, top 8.
That's a weird score for a tie, Orel.
^ Wait, got it. Our game is a tie.
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HanRam double!
Hanley's first hit as a Dodger! Stretches a single into a double!
See what having Loney hit behind you will do?
HOLY SHIT. Back-to-back doubles!
Blimp Cam in effect!
Han's baserunning prowess got us that run on Loney's hit.
Loney RBI 2b?!?!
Hey whaddayaknow. Loney doubles in Hanley!
SF 13, COL 4, top 8.
Cruz productive out!
Ajellis RBI! 3-1 Dodgers!
Things are getting runny up in here!
Nice hitting AJ!
Your turn, Shanetorino.
What the hell, Colorado?
At least the Giants play the Nats next.
Whoops, they get the Cards next. Then COL again (of course), then the Nats.
Cubs with men on 2nd & 3rd, two out.
God dammit.
I was just about to say something about Bills cruising, but thought better of it for fear of jinxing him. Then he gave up that hit. I should have just gone ahead and jinxed him and got it over with.
Vin is doing the transistor radio thing with Twitter!
Bison!
Earliest #TrendForVin in the Twitter timeline courtesy of SoSG.
HanRam, bishes! 5-1 Dodgers!
Blimp cam? Someone have a camera on moi?
I'm lovin' it! This noffense could turn into wowfense before we know what hit us.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
Hey! We're winning!!
Wow! Ajellis with his second homer of the game!
Weisman saying Phiwwies pulled Cliffly back.
No fucking way.
Victorino AND Hanley break the seal? This is an embarrassment of riches.
Nice headline:
"Rios' walk-off HR lifts White Sox by Angels in 10"
Shane swipes a bag, but Matt leaves him holding it.
Puta left me holding it,too!
Fun night on tha Twitters.
What it is SoSG?!
A fucking lead?!
Twitter 1, Blogs 0 for tonight.
Alright, I'm headed out to make party.
That was much appreciated.
AJPGT up!
