Joe Blanton (8-9, 4.52) vs. Ricky Nolasco (8-11, 4.95).
So far, so good: With yesterday's 5-2 win, the (tied for) first-place Dodgers are 1-0 on their ten-game road trip against the Marlins, Pirates and Braves. Their latest pitching acquisition, Joe Blanton, takes the mound today in an attempt to secure the series win.
Meanwhile, the Marlins' Ricky Nolasco has lost a Billingsley-esque five straight. Can the Dodgers make it six for Ricky? Let's hope he Nolasco past the third inning.

VEKER LHAB!
And who is this strange person at first base I see?
That's a Thai food order, right?
Will Veker Lhab be extra spicy?
Um, yeah.
Fuckin' Rockies.
Derek Lowe, Andruw Jones, Corey Wade, Russell Martin, Hiroki Kuroda.
The Yankees know that Manny was the missing ingredient for that 2008 team, right?
Giants' 9-3 win puts them back in first.
We are scoreless through one inning. Let's go, Blue!
Guy just dropped his glass of wine, shattered on the floor, nailing me. Booooooooo
At least it was white wine
@Sax
Are you in the stands at a Gnats game?
Did you pull out the straw?
"Load the bases up." - Nice English, Collins.

RANCHO MODEIENDO
What the fuck are you swinging at, Matty?
Hmm. I have zero memory of Nick Green's Dodger stint, and it was only two years ago.
@Nomo
I do remember Nick Green here, though there was nothing memorable. In fact, when I saw him up to bat for Marlenes yesterday, I thought, "That light-hitting white guy played for us for about a cup of coffee, didn't he?" Then the "commentators" noted the same.

HOW DOES BEETHOVEN HEAR WHAT THOSE GUYS ARE DOING WITH THE SODA FOUNTAIN?
That's out Loney! #GIDP
DFA this cockbag. I can't watch him any more.
@Dusty, I'm in NYC. At a party for the gods.
@Sax
Gotcha. I was just using the opportunity to make a Gnats/white wine joke.
FYI-I'm drinking white wine right now. #Hypocrite
It's a good Bordeaux, I gotta say.
Refused to go to mets game tonight. #humiditysucks
Blanton not a fat-ass, he just looks like a fat-ass. According to Lyons, he just doesn't wear a uniform well. Uribe, on the other love handle, is a confirmed fat-ass.
Andre!
For the record: I just don't wear the uniform well.
Holy crap! That foul ball by Stanton almost landed in Georgia.
Dusty, yours is an L.A. face and an Oakland booty.
Hairston got eaten up on that one. Poop.
Uh, well, fuck.
Blanton doesn't wear a uniform well and now he's starting to not pitch well.
This is starting to look a bit like my nephew's t-ball game.
So pitches several inches low and outside are considered strikes, ump!?
For a baseball guy, Hillman seems to have come down with a case of 'hockey hair'.
I don't understand why the MLB.com GameDay avatar for Urine isn't Janba the Hutt-like in girth.
Even though they overplay this Powell Electric commercial, I never get tired of that tall, doofy guy on the left at the end. Awkwardness defined.
I think we need to start talking about how bad Brandon League has been.
DESTINATION: SECOND
Fuck. So much for first place. Thanks Brandon.
Second place League, under the sea.
I'm officially pro-Victorino.
League, show me.
So, if Hairston is hurt, does Urine get off the bench? Or is Cruz at SS and Hanley at 3B?
