Clayton Kershaw (8-6, 2.95) vs. Chris Volstad (0-7, 7.94).
As Vin is fond of reminding us, "Men plan, God laughs." Okay, big fella, here it is, for your chuckling pleasure: I'm planning on attending today's game with my brother, also a Dodger fan, and two of his kids (not pictured above), who happen to be ardent Giants fans.
I'm planning on showing them the beauty of Dodger Stadium and hoping they won't get bored because it doesn't have a giant bottle of soda bottle behind the outfield.
I'm planning on watching Clayton Kershaw dominate the Cubbies.
I'm planning on the Dodger bats making mincemeat of Chris Volstad, who has a lifetime 5.01 ERA against them.
I'm planning on bringing a transistor radio so we can listen to you during the first three innings.
There it is. Do your worst.

Urine still can't get a start at 3B. I like it.
Cool, Orel. Wish I would have know someone else would be i the Yard. I'm Han Solo tonight.
Just DFA the poor guy and put him out of his misery. You're ALREADY paying him to not play.
And he's eating into buffet costs. Net loss, Ned!
I think he is the mascot.
Juan Uribe wants to eat those cubs
Philly up 1-0 on AZ in the bottom of the fourth
Per Dodgers, "Joe Blanton will start tomorrow's game against the @Cubs with Chris Capuano pitching on Monday, and Aaron Harang moving back to Tuesday."
Hopefully Tuesday is an off day.
So it turns out Dodger Stadium is a pretty shitty place for kids. Who knew?
Dusty where yat?
@Orel
On the sofa!
@ Stubbs
Your sister's def.
Giants up 3-0 on the Rox, top 4.
Phills up 2-0 on Snakes
@Orel: I knew!
Stan's on it, though.
(and you'd know that if I could ever finish my fucking Blogger Night recap)
@Gnomes: when is that blogger night recap making its way through legal?
Dodgers go 1-2-3 in the first. 0-0.
Do the Dodger know Volstad was recently called up and hasnt won a game all year?
@Sax
When you answer your email re SoSG Fest III?
#Snap
Come on, SV Unit.
Can some of yall [players] score already? Give CK a lil help.
Turkey nut sucking ass bitches!
Buh-bye ball! Bison HR makes it 2-1 Dodgers.
Kemp!
Cool
Brad Penny up for the Giants. Predictably, this is favoring the Rockies.
Balls, they only cut the lead to 3.
Dusty, thanks for the heads up. Just gotcha back on email.
I've got 8-3 SF in the eighth?
AZ lost 3-0 in Philly
Just saw that highlight of Kemp's HR. wow, that was right off of Mather's glove and over the wall.
Insert Nelson Muntz laugh here.
This just in: The Rockies are bad at baseball.
This has been in: I'm thirsty and heading to my MEX.
10-3 SF. But no lead is safe at Coors Field!
Maybe this lead is, however.
Gwynn, you'd better make this PH pay off here
Yeah, that was a good substitution. Two-pitch AB and third out, in exchange for Kershaw pitching in a one-run game.
I suppose Clayton WAS at 112 pitches (7 Ks)
Rox score two in the eighth so it's 10-5 going to the ninth
Belli having trouble with DeJesus here
Late wotchale y'all.
Belli gets DeJesus for the first out
Vin tells us,in one-run games on the road, the Cubs are 2-12
What's up fanerman? How is Smonk?
Hairston gets Castro for the second out
Barney with an 0-2 count
Belli takes down Barney for the third out.
Going to the bottom of the eighth, 2-1 LA
Shane with a lead off double to left center!
Ellis grounds to pitcher, so SV holds at second
What's with Kemp and the dayglo?
IBBing Kemp here
Kemp on first, Victorino on second, one out. Ethier up.
New Cubs pitcher
11-5 SF, bottom nine. Men on first and second with one out for the Rox
I'm sleepy
Cubs go to James Russell (LHP)
Ethier tries to GIDP to second, but he beats the relay back to first. Men at the corners with two out, and Hanley Ramirez up.
Block.
Hanley sneaks one under the glove of Castro! Victorino score on the error. 3-1 LA
Tough play, but an error sounds about right.
And....of course James Loney grounds out for the third out.
3-1 going to the ninth
Hey Sax, can you send me that picture you took of me last weekend?
SF wins, 11-6.
We win!
And Jansen gets the save.
3-1 Final.
Kenley looked great. Dodgers win!
