Game 126 Thread: August 24 vs. Marlins, 7p

Chad Billingsley (10-9, 3.44) vs. Nathan Eovaldi (4-8, 4.03).

OH MY GOD A.J. thanks a lot for providing an antidote to the irrational feelings of hatred and impotence brought forth by being swept by the Giants. Geez, what a buzzkill! Let us wallow, wontcha?

Anyhoo, Hanley begetter Nate Eovaldi gets a chance to thank his former team for getting him on "The Franchise" this season, while the rejuvenated Chad Billingsley looks to make it seven straight wins. Time to start a new streak!

On the Gaudin intro, he was talking about his 7-inning minor league perfect game against the Suns, and the only batter who got to a 3-ball count was Shane Victorino (as he appeared).

Franklin Stubbs said...

I would transcribe, but I am Tivo-disabled.

Gagne's lucky glasses said...

That Steve Finley flashback video just reminded me how ugly the outfield wall was back then

Franklin Stubbs said...

It was hideous, but Gahddamn, that was an awesome game.

Franklin Stubbs said...

That was the year the had the Cy Young winners on the outfield wall, IIRC.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Hup your wide ass back to the dugout, Chuck.

Gagne's lucky glasses said...

Carlos Lee is too fat to stretch that into a double. Doesn't he know that?

Franklin Stubbs said...

Stretch marks are the best he can hope for.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Good thing you got that extra base, wasn't it?

Dusty Baker said...

Get a good enough look at that HR, Stanton? Throw at the next asshole that comes to the plate, Wright.

Franklin Stubbs said...

He could have gotten a knob blister on his way to first.

Dusty Baker said...

I tomorrow's game has already started, in fact.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Fooking Giants. Lose already.

Dusty Baker said...

Dre 3-3 tonight.

Dusty Baker said...

^think tomorrow's

Dusty Baker said...

How does one email the truck and get a message to Vin?

Dusty Baker said...

5-2 Gnats

Gagne's lucky glasses said...

@Dusty: It's the blister

Dusty Baker said...

No shit, GLG. Since that's the case, we should cut off Urine's hand and watch the remarkable increase in offensive production.

Orel said...

Los Angeles Dodgers ‏@Dodgers

RT @shawngreen15: The fans of L.A. have been asking for this type of owner for yrs now; they need to show support by selling out every night

Orel said...

EVERY NIGHT

Dusty Baker said...

Who knew Shawn Green was tweeting? I just subscribed to him on the official SoSG twitter feed.

Not the fake SoSG feed.

Dusty Baker said...

@DBT

I'm almost sober!

Dusty Baker said...

Braves get a sol HR to make it 5-3.

Franklin Stubbs said...

3 home runs for ATL. All solo shots.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Holy Christ, his 'stache is terrifying!

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

@dusty... Damn that sucks

Orel said...

Dylan Hernandez ‏@dylanohernandez

Adrian Gonzalez will wear No. 23 with the #Dodgers, the same number he wore with the #Padres. Kirk Gibson wore No. 23 with the #Dodgers.

Dusty Baker said...

It's a strange feeling indeed, DBT. I do not like it one bit.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Didn't someone have 23 this year?

Franklin Stubbs said...

Not that you don't give the man the number he wants, just curious.

Dusty Baker said...

Speaking of buzz kill - Adam Kennedy.

Franklin Stubbs said...

That's right, Abreu did for a while.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Does anyone else feel kinda strange about becoming the "Yankees of the West" I always rooted for the underdog Dodgers. It will take some getting used to.

Dusty Baker said...

Yeah, Abreu. So that won't be a problem.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Wow nice sinker from League

Franklin Stubbs said...

I said the exact same thing earlier, DBT. Beats the shit out of "Oakland of the South"

Dusty Baker said...

One half a year of spending, some of which simply brought us up to what we should be spending, does not make us the Yankees.

Franklin Stubbs said...

That's true, but I don't have my finger on the pulse of where the ceiling really is yet.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Jesus hated the Yankees before they had an astronomical payroll, anyway.

Dusty Baker said...

Where is your finger, then, Stubbs?

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Yeah you guys are right. We should have a big payroll. It's fucking LA! But it's still weird.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Sweet, sweet bourbon-y goodness.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Buchanans 12 year blend for me. Oh yeah....

Gagne's lucky glasses said...

Everyone is ok if the Lakers spend a ton of money (and always have), why can't the Dodgers?

Dusty Baker said...

Excellent point, GLG.

On that note, I'm hitting the booze again.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

I wonder how much of Crawfords 2013 contract is covered by insurance?

Franklin Stubbs said...

Blanton's. This shit is as good as Joe has been terrible.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

GLG that's righ!

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Talk about bad contracts... How bout that Zamrano fuck

Gagne's lucky glasses said...

Oh I have always been around Dusty, I have just been lurking in the shadows

Dusty Baker said...

My god that's a terrible 'stache, Dumbrano. You deserve everything bad that happens to you just because of that 'stache.

Dusty Baker said...

That's creepy, GLG! I feel so dirty. *closes blinds, pulls cover over eyes*

Dusty Baker said...

Geico!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Bison, bishes!

Gagne's lucky glasses said...

The goggles have night vision

Dusty Baker said...

Bills has a tender right elbow.

Put a little Montreal seasoning on that thing and cook it til medium rare, I say.

Dusty Baker said...

Now I'm scared shitless. Are you in the house, GLG, like When a Stranger Calls?

Cliff Beefpile said...

Woohoo!

Dusty Baker said...

Dre Day! Dre goes 4-4. Must call father-in-law to give him shit about wanting to trade Ethier.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Pile it on, boys.

Cliff Beefpile said...

The comments are coming from inside the house!

Orel said...

Offense!

Dusty Baker said...

Heh Cliff...exactly. I think I see a shadow from the back room when I look at the glass door in the back.

Turns out it was Urine going through my fridge.

Gagne's lucky glasses said...

I won't say much more, but I wouldn't turn around if I were you

Orel said...

Cliff @9:51: Nice!

MR.F said...

More runs!!!!

Dusty Baker said...

You're just playing with me before you gruesomely murder me, GLG. Again.

Unknown said...

@ DBT at 8:34 p.m.

Bills is making party by getting a diagnosis on his elbow. According to Vinny a couple of minutes ago, it's Bills' right elbow that's an issue. How egregious that issue is remains up in the air.

Am I concerned? Hells, yeah. I'm concerned that Fried Chicken Beckett will be a bigger piece of the deal than was originally planned. Crap.

For the short term, I'm good with us adding two more runs.

Orel said...

I wonder if Chad will hit the DL again.

Franklin Stubbs said...

last licks for the Barves coming up.

Unknown said...

10-4, good buddies!

*Citizens' Band humor, circa 1976*

Dusty Baker said...

Did we just score, like, 7 runs on one play?

Cliff Beefpile said...

So a dribbler that goes 70 feet scores 3 runs. It's just one o' them days, Marlins.

Orel said...

Someone describe!

Dusty Baker said...

That last pitch would have been a wild pitch, but NO ONE WAS LEFT ON BASE TO ADVANCE! Hahahaha!

Franklin Stubbs said...

@orel

Goofy-ass play:

Cruz hit a dribbler to between the pitcher and third, throw to first was wide, so Ethier and Kemp both came around to score. Throw to third was also off, so Cruz was able to jog it in as well.

MR.F said...

More runs!!!

Dusty Baker said...

And the throw to third was only vaguely even called for in the first place.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Goofy-ass play is a phrase that requires extremely precise hyphenation.

Unknown said...

@ Orel

My husband (Mr. Beardingsley)and I watched the Mount David meeting on the mound with Bills, Honeycutt and the team. His first words to me: "Your boy may have to go under the knife. This may be the last time you see him until 2014."

WAAAAAAHHHHH!!

*bawls*

Franklin Stubbs said...

Yep. The second throw was pure panic.

MR.F said...

HAHAHA at Stubbs.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Barves Barve.

Dusty Baker said...

Barves lose.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Braves need to get their asses off the floor tomorrow.

Dusty Baker said...

I need to get my ass off the sofa tomorrow.

Unknown said...

Is barves the plural of barf?

Orel said...

And Stubbs brings the grammar humor!

Franklin Stubbs said...

What ISN'T funny about syntactic ambiguity, Orel?

Orel said...

Mrs. Beardingsley: Feel free to give your husband a swift kick.

Orel said...

No-thing!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Syntax humor is all the rage with the kids these days.

Unknown said...

@ Orel

Will do.

That, and the clinching Scrabble entree from Mr. Jack in the latest Jack in the Box ad: NONOOKIE.

Orel said...

"Nonookie? What's that — ohhhhh."

Dusty Baker said...

What's the problem, Gnomes? Did you lose your iPhone and iPad?

Unknown said...

Mrs. Urine's winning Scrabble word: NOMUNCHIE.

Orel said...

At least you're still not at work, Nomo.

You're still not at work, are you?

Cliff Beefpile said...

I'm sure Choate never got made fun of at school. He was classmates with Dick Tainte.

Hideo Nomo said...

Nah, just busy getting ready for Nomo Jr.'s party.

When Mrs. Nomo asks why I'm always online, I can just point to today.

Dusty Baker said...

Blow up some friggin balloons already, Gnomes.

#BadFatherComment

Hideo Nomo said...

If I were at work, being online wouldn't be an issue.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Sympathy Uribe appearance

Orel said...

Ladies and gentlemen...Juan Uribe.

Dusty Baker said...

Speaking of Uribe...I have to go take a leak.

Orel said...

Party at Nomo's house!

Franklin Stubbs said...

Has it gone without noting today that should this trade be consummated, Uribe would ONCE AGAIN escaped a roster culling? What's the guy got to do?

Unknown said...

I want a backpack, Vinny!

Orel said...

Speaking of Uribe, I have to eat a horse.

Franklin Stubbs said...

^escape

I may be slightly drunk.

Vin needs to make party and start telling dirrty jokes. You know he's got a shitload of good jokes

Franklin Stubbs said...

Quelle surprise.

Unknown said...

@ Orel

hawhawhaw

Cliff Beefpile said...

Uribe has the dirt on someone. That or the Giants attached some kind of voodoo curse to his fat ass when he got signed.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Uribe, Andruw Jones, and a little nuber walk into a bar...

Hideo Nomo said...

I may take Jr. to the game on Sunday, then steal his backpack.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SON! *yoink*

Unknown said...

Well, folks, I've got to leave you and Vin's raunchy jokes by now and get some some zzz's. Tomorrow and Sunday will be busy days at work, just as today was.

Just please hold this lead, bullpen!

*prays*

Franklin Stubbs said...

Excellent use of the Oxford comma, DBT.

Orel said...

Night, CB!

Franklin Stubbs said...

We make long-awaited party!

Orel said...

WOO HOO

Cliff Beefpile said...

Get well soon, Billz. Night all!

Franklin Stubbs said...

Uribe has (potentially) outlived:

Abreu
Gwynn
Lindblom
Eovaldi
Hairston
Guerra
Hawksworth
Guerrier
Lilly
Sellers
Coffey
Gordon
Sands
Loney
De Jesus
De La Rosa
Fife
Van Slyke
MacDougal

How is that possible?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Zuh?

Franklin Stubbs said...

Hrm?

Gagne's lucky glasses said...

I'll see you guys again in 2013

Dusty Baker said...

Just checking because I don't want to think for myself: how is it that Urine survives? Do the math for us, pls.

Dusty Baker said...

Get out of my house, GLG!

Franklin Stubbs said...

PGTUP!

Franklin Stubbs said...

Fun Game Thread, kids!

Steve Sax said...

Awesome GT guys. I may just stay here in Siberia for a while.
