Aaron Harang (7-6, 3.76) vs. Alex White (2-6, 6.16).
Hot off a sweep of the Cubs, the Dodgers went out and played one of the two NL teams WORSE than the Cubs, and got shutout, limited to five pathetic hits. So it's back to the lucky bear cub pictures for this GT despite the fact it has nothing to do with this game.
Also likely having nothing to do with this game is Dodger starter Aaron Harang, who was given an extra day of rest after being brutalized by the Diamondbacks last week. Harang has lost three of his last five starts. Alex White is yet another recent recall from triple-A (seems the Dodgers are getting a lot of these in opposing starters these days). Can the Dodgers collar White? Oh my god, why don't I start a horrible pun blog and post this GT on that blog.SoSG Alex Cora and I will be at the Stadium tonight, collecting Koufax bobbleheads. Drop a line if you are thirsty (we're bringing packs of saltines with us)!

MDIL and I are there tonight. Will you have crickets?
Breaking social media news up top.
holy damn!
Jesus Hottentot Christ, that's spectacular.
Wait, Karina is coming over here?
I'm out of the loop.
best behavior best behavior best behavior
epale everyone!
@Nic I'll be studying in the LA area for a while :)
@Sax I think we all should behave like your dad taught us :)
MDIL and Dusty up in dis bish!
Sandy Koufax: not up in dis bish on his bobblehead night.
I hope it's not Noffense again tonight.
Time to switch over to cold, clinical gameday, just in case.
It's going to be a long night, methinks.
That looked like it hurt.
Shit. Hanley fouled a ball off his patita. i think he's alright so said Harold Reynolds.
dude is hobbling big time. hanley doesn't look good at all.
Hope it's just a bruise.
Stupid Eric Young.
He' really hobbling. Plus there are nats flying around him.
So, am I the only one that is weirded out by the O'Malley's buying the Padres? I've gotten used to the ideas of seeing franchise players with other teams (original recipe Orel, Piazza, Scioscia), but O'Malley?
I'm guessing dad, Walter would approve, that old capitalist. But man must Tommy Lasorda be confused today.
Not so tough when you don't get any pitches to hit, are you, CarGo?
(cries)
Jesus Colorado, Harang is ugly.
Can we strand 2 again this inning?
The only ownership that I can muster up some hateHateHATE for are the Steinbrenners, just because, and Loria, because he's a complete tool.
I picked up a bit of hate for the McClatchy/Nutting ownership when I lived in Pittsburgh. Bryan Burlington? Ha ha ha ha!
Oh, and Pohlad in Minnesota for volunteering his team for contraction and then going after the legislature for a new stadium.
Make 'em pay, Hanley!
Definitely agree on the Pohlad douche factor being in the same boat as Loria, but the I find the Twins to be mostly harmless, so it doesn't get me all riled up. Angelos is up there, but the Orioles are my MLB blind spot. I can never really wrap my head around their existence,
Damn.
*bangs head on desk repeatedly*
HanRamSla... DAMMIT!
Hopefully the Rockie bullpen makes an early appearance tonight. But even then...
Forgot about Angelos. Though I did get a kick out him messing with Bud during the Expos-to-DC negotiations (sorry, Dusty).
Czar- are we doing a fantasy football league this year? I find myself woefully short on fair condition baseball cards depicting middling players from the mid- to late-nineties.
Yes we are, Jason. Send your email to me on Zuck's brain-baby and I'll put you in.
I'm referring to Facebook, of course.
Twitter is also a viable option.
So. Noffense.
HHave no fear, delinO is here.
at game with my father in law, who seems far less interested in the koufax bobblehead than youd expect from a brooklyn born jew.
i think every dodger should come out to foo fighter songs.
Im going to knit a tallas for my koufax b_head.
Now that daddy garvey is following us on twitter, look for weekly posts from me featuring his performance in masquerade.
Harang soul patch
Father in law now on a business call. Im bringing my dog instead next time :-)
Kiss cam almost became incest cam (a girl clearly said "hes my brother")
Four Sons at the game tonight!
And then it became "Hasidim Cam" (but the Orthodox keep it Kosher. HA)
Four Sons and seven years ago...
Rockies 1, Dodgers 0. What shock.
Balls.
Giants won. D'backs won.
E-3. Loney is just paving his way out of town.
Im in the loge with the proletariat. 164.
and we officiaally have the worst error of the week
Zuck brain wave heading your way, Czar.
The futility is palpable.
GIDP!
I will take the double play, but we still have infinitely fewer runs than our opponents.
As Vin points out, we're getting one-hit.
Clearly, lack of quality starting pitching what is hurting this team…
We are an ace short!
Steve Garvey loves the Twitter.
Even the Padres are winning.
Even the Astros have a plural number of hits.
What the hell is it with EYJ? Seriously?
Who is this fucker Rutledge? 3-0 Rockies.
Dodgers still haven't scored a fuckin run? Nacho Bell Grandes for all of them.
ARGH
Remember when the Dodgers score a lot of runs Sunday? Yeah, I don't.
Hate to say it, but i fear Nic called the sweep correctly.
Just when I think this team is good they go and suck again.
Tolleson is not long for this team.
I guess it's safe for me to switch over to that TiVoed episode of Breaking Bad now.
Is the fantasy football league filled up?
Plenty of room left, Paul.
I just remembered that hobbling Hanley has the only base hit. Fuck.
Quick, Paul! Give up in disgust and frustration, it's our only hope!
Cargo will do that Stubbs. I just had a flat breezy flashback. Bad trip.
Do you have the league set up yet Marla? Still ESPN?
Ha Cargo you suck with your twenty homeruns...(cries)
All set up. Still ESPN. Only 12 teams this year though.
Just put in Uribe so I can be right about something.
Interesting way to honor Sandy: Playing the role of one of the many teams he victimized.
@Paul - I need emails though, so if you want to take part, you'll need to DM me your address.
We are playing .500 ball in blocks of three games at a time.
I think that series against the Cards was the last one that wasn't a sweep, and even then the Dodgers lost three straight.
That home series against the Pads was a 2R HR hooked around the foul pole away from being a sweep too.
1 hit or not, we've had a fuckload of walks that have been completely wasted so far.
Puig hit another HR, interesting to see where they send him. Hopefully RC so I can go watch him.
@marla
Answer sent.
rally killed.
Swell.
Was about to curse Loney but it turns out Rivera is picking up where he left off.
@Paul - I haven't received anything yet. Try a twitter DM.
Just had a three-way with Sax and AC!
A RUN! A RUN!
(RUNS)
Don't hit a homer, Cruz, or you'll kill the rally.
just sent it again Marla, not sure what happened the first time.
If it was e-mail, my gmail account is very slow sometimes.
That Fresno to Phoenix synapse breakdown in Zuckerberg's brain is blocking the Paul-Czar comm link.
Hey, give me a break, I just upgraded from dial-up.
You can borrow Spanky's Apple Lisa, Marla.
ISDN, Czar?
ISDN?
(consults Windows 95 for Dummies)
Would the sons want their own dedicated team for a FF league?
what the hell no profanity in my team name?
The Shin Boners rock!
(cries)
Is Boners really "profane" in today's tolerant society?
It is in Mickey Mouse's reality. Then again, so is "shin."
I've never played FF, Marla. But I'm up for it if other Sons are willing to do the actual, you know, work.
I am not sure what will be my team name.
The Feast Infections are out.
Oh but Neeebs mom is okay. sure.
Just go with Turgid Tibias and call it good.
@Orel
What is this strange "work" you speak of?
Neeebs' mom and Eisner had a thing a few decades back, so it figures.
Rally time!
Neeebs' Mom is always good (to go).
Rivera will save us!
(vomits)
hit Victorino!
That is positive no?
Hey... we're still in it.
Nevermind.
Well, I guess this bottle of scotch isn't going to drink itself.
Bollocks,
PGTUP
That was fast Orel, it's almost as if you were ready for the Dodgers to lose that game for some reason.
Hey, it got you out of the woodwork!
I like to prefer the term "lurking in the shadows".
