Joe Blanton (seriously, he's with us; 8-9, 4.59) vs. Justin Germano (1-1, 3.38).
The cute little Cubs have been pretty polite visitors this series, which I have to think is correlated with all these adorable nature shots we've been posting. So we're continuing the trend for Sunday's matinee.
This unfortunately means that new Dodger Joe Blanton, recently acquired from the Phillies (for cash and a ptbnl), doesn't get to grace this GT (conveniently, this also accommodates the width constraints of the main column). Also not getting a picture is Justin Germano, a recent recall for the Cubs after they jettisoned their pitching staff last week (don't get too excited; Paul Volstad did a pretty nice job holding us down yesterday, in a similar recent-recall situation).
The Giants start their finale in Denver at noon, and the Snakes go in about an hour and a half in Philly. So by the time we finish up, we should already know how the NL West looks going into Monday; no unbearable scoreboard watching today.

Still no Urine.
Haven't reached Bakersfield and I've already had 2 diaper changes, so ankle biter is bringing the urine...
@Dusty: Try cranberry juice.
Eugenio, I hope you stocked your backpack full of Depends. Have you heard about Flomax?
Oh wait, I misread your comment. My bad!
I wonder why Dodgers didn't put Matt Kemp's Twitter handle on their lineup? Just noticed that.
Character limit?
Maybe, Nomo. But then why wouldn't they have put Kemp's in since he was listed earlier than AJEllis? Then presumably run out of characters as they got further in.
I'm definitely over-thinking this.
@SloppyJoeBlantn is not Joe Blanton's twitter account.
Because AJ owns Twitter.
"Rubby De La Rosa said he felt something in his groin during his rehab start Saturday, cutting it short."
Two ways to read that statement.
I'm feling something in my groin right now.
No Cliffly, as everyone except that tiny, overly optimistic voice inside my head expected.
Snakes up 3-0 on the Phils in the second
Well, no one else gets Lee this season, and we'd be in prime position to make a deal for him in the winter. I still think it makes sense with the ever-shrinking FA market.
I think it makes more sense to go after him in the offseason.
“@ArashMarkazi: James Loney just got to Dodgers clubhouse. Shane Victorino looks at wrist and says, "You MFers better start showing up earlier around here."”
I still haven't quite warmed to Victorino as a Dodger, but I approve of his Loney-berating policies.
Any berater of Loney is a friend of mine.
I like that SVic shows up and starts talking some shit.
I think I read somewhere Loney and Victorino were already buddies before Shane joined the Dodgers.
^ Get a room!
Clearly, Dusty and Shane wre buddies before Shane joined the Dodgers.
^ were
Victorino did the exact same thing to me at my work last week.
Yeah I should start using that phrase around the office. Except that I'd have to get there early for it to carry meaning.
Just tell them you are actually showing up for the next day.
Trying to decide where I should watch the game from, Vinny!
Decided now. On the barstool, Vinny!
SF 2-1 early on.
Where the fuck is everyone?
Loney used to at least be good for fielding. Now two days in a row he's made a poor fielding judgment.
D, I thought you were LFPing it today.
I did, too. But I couldn't find any takers. Didn't want to go Han Solo. :-(
Bolt runs fast.
1-0 Cubs in the 4th. This game is flying by.
Angels losing 4-2 in 9th. That game is NOT flying by.
Vin pretty much predicting that the Rockies are going to kick our asses after rolling over for the Giants.
He's also riding James pretty hard for his defensive mishap. Bad day to be Loney.
OH GOD I JUST REALIZED BLANTON IN BLUE LOOKS LIKE PENNY.
@ Dusty
i thought you were going to be out in the LFP today. Or was that yesterday. Wait...what year is this?
@Spank
I was. Then I wasn't. I am decidedly not.
#ElPortal
Finally AJ Ellis gets one through! Wotchale, y'all.
Matty's done a good job of laying off those breaking balls in the dirt this at-bat.
Nice at-bat Matt! Able to draw the walk after falling behind 0-2.
Rancho Riveraiendo
Rivera walks in a run.
WHOO RUNS!!!!
CRRUUUUUZZZZZZ!!!!
He hits a single and drives in two.
4-2 Dodgers
Hey, we're winning!
Epale, y'all!
C'mon, Blue! Don't Choate this away!
Ugh. RA for Cubs.
4-3 Dodgers. The Hunterpence is killing me!
Javy Nagila in to shut the door.
no lead is safe, it seems
Hey, we're losing!
Holy shitsticks! Cubs roar back, 6-5. I gotta jet. See you on the other side.
God dammit. I knew this tinkering w several relievers was going to backfire. Why did League come out so quickly? Yeah he gave up a walk but shit...
little beotch!
#vicki
i can go for a bomb right here. Come on Matty!
Dre Day time. come on you mutt
ETHIER!!!!
Dre!

I give up. I'm going back to sleep.
Hey, we're winning!
Way to belly up, Belli!
Phew. Belisario gets out of that jam...
@Marla
We are, in the vernacular, not losing.
I need a DAMMIT, Fanerman!
OT does anybody else think that disease jingle on the radio is creepy?
@Karina
Not sure. If you think it is, I'm sure I agree.
Link?
This isn't creepy, but it's crappy:

@karina:
You mean Ankylosing Spondelitis? HATE that ad. It plays every commercial break on every AM station in L.A.
@Karina
What's your ETA in SoCAL? Need to figure out when you're going with us to your first Dodgers game.
Hey, we're tied!
We're losing! We're winning! We're losing! We're winning! We're tied!
My mother! My sister! My mother!
This game is giving me ankylosing spondylitis
It's giving me angina and I'm dead to you
HanRam, bishes! SWEEEEP!
HANRAM WALK OFF!!!!!!! 0|0
Hey, we won!
HANLEY-OFF!
epale Pedro!
Chicago sweep? i'll make party for that.
Yahoo you mofos!
The Ankylosing Spondylitis ads might still be better than the gout commercials from awhile back.
@Hideo Nomo that one! it really scares me! I feel i have it :(
@Dusty Baker WOW! I can't believe you guys are gonna do that for me! I'll be there on the third weekend, but I have to go to SF ASAP, for Venezuelan government requirements so I can get money for tuition and living expenses, but at the same time I have to meet with my advisor and I have an English test AND Orientation on the 20th or the 21st (don't remember now, it's the same day though). Since i'm already packing, the Sons on Facebook will hear from me, while the other Sons not there will receive an email from me this week.
and
WOW
you are so nice to me
*blushes*
Too much cake making party, i hope i don't puke...
Wait so the Angel announcer who was busted with pot was exiled to KC Royals?
Keep us posted, K.
GSPGT up!
