Josh Beckett (5-12, 5.21) vs. Tyler Skaggs (1-1, 2.92).
Did you hear Don Mattingly held another team meeting after last night's loss? We hear his speech went something like this:
"Okay, guys, something's gotta change. There's only thirty twenty-nine games left in the regular season. We've lost seven eight in a row to the Diamondbacks, and mustering only five six hits and zero three runs over nine eleven innings is completely unacceptable.
"Now, I know it looks like we've lost a valuable contributor in Kenley Jansen Chad Billingsley, but that doesn't mean you just give up. Pitching reinforcement is on the way, with Matt Guerrier Javy Guerra soon to join us.
"So get out there and give it your all. You won't want 2012 to be as disappointing as 2010 2011, do you?"

If it's broke, why fix it?
Maybe we can switch Ellises at will and the umpires won't catch us.
Anyone at the game today? Finally made it out from Redlands this year.
I'm going tomorrow.
FUCKING GNATS AND FUCKING NATS
Curious: Is anyone interested in "Trouble with the Curve"?
Eric Stephen @truebluela
Dodgers renewed 2013 contracts for broadcasters Charley Steiner, Rick Monday, Fernando Valenzuela, Pepe Yñiquez, Eric Collins, Steve Lyons
Man, Guggenheim isn't going to fire anyone, I bet.
*boozes*
@Marla
That one just seems way too cliche in my opinion. Are you interested in seeing it?
On MDIL's sofa, Vinny!
It feels like a family drama masquerading as a baseball movie.
Going out for margaritas, Vinny!
I bet there will be a lot of empty chairs in screenings of Trouble With The Curve.
See what I did there?
Cards won, so we really need this game to keep pace.
Did Vin just let out a giant hiccup?
I think I've figured out why Beckett has regressed these past few years:he kinda chunky. I didn't realize he'd let his waistline go as much as he has.
If Beckett pitches like that all night, we might actually stand a chance.
Three fly-ball outs for us.
Futility is persistent.
Miguel Montero owns us.
Did not know this:

Any player in your organization on 8/31 can end up on the playoff roster. Doesn't have to be on the 25- or 40-man rosters on that date.
Small Chris Young double. 2nd & 3rd, 1 out.
If (and that's a big if) they make the postseason, and Uribe gets a roster spot, I'm going to break something.
If they make the post-season, I'll be shocked.
Hanley's scoop barely beats the runner to second. He's a little casual on defense sometimes.
HANLEY HAS NO HEART
Four fly-ball outs.
This crowd is so primed for a HR. How long has it been?
Kind of a high strike there to Hanley. Hope Beckett gets that call as well.
I think Spanky has gotten laid since the last time we had a HR at home.
About damn time.
FINALLY
Mickey Hatcher is fired up!
Wasn't Mickey in the dugout last when Mattingly was suspended? Whose place is he taking now? Or do coaches' rosters expand as well?
Cruz has a Jeter-like batting stance.
I think I saw Mike Marshall in the dugout!
Classy move by Jeter for allowing that.
Walter Alston was pumped for the Cruz hit.
I think the Vicster was about to get attacked by killer seagulls.
*boozes*
Or Uribe was falling from the sky.
I don't think SanFran DodgerFan ever returned after saying Ajellis was ruining the team.
At least Pittsburgh lost.
Is Hatcher's presence suppose to cancel out Gibson 's mojo?
Is Hatcher's presence suppose to cancel out Gibson 's mojo?
@Paul
Yes and no.
Are our Dodger balls ever going to drop?
Walking Dead.
I never bothered to look it up cause i figured it doesn't matter, but yesterday i noticed 1 and 2 have slugging in the 300s and 7, 8 are in the 400s, wouldn't it be neat to try and flip them in the lineup? Victorino has been a worthless POS
When I go see Oregon play next week i know their uniforms will cause permanent eye damage
@DKOTG
No one around here ever actually looks anything up before making an assertion. It's how we roll.
I looked it up. Dodgers offense sucks.
GET SOME FUCKING OFFENSE GOING ALREADY
That felt better.
Beckett pitch good.
The more I see the trailers for that Trouble Curve movie, the less I want to see it.
*boozes*
Vic swung at ball four and hit it for a single.
Kemp's ABs are just terrible. Painful to watch.
Think his knee is still hurt. But even before then.
Watch this offense explode and win the
Last 8. On the way to the off season
Dre day!
I'm watching Neeebs' mom explode.
I'll take it.
2-1 good guys.
Sorry I've been out of it on this one... When did Fox start with that big "Prime Ticket Dodgers" logo in the corner?
An attempt to show food faith before negotiations?
explode this
*boozes*
One out in the eighth.
Food faith?
Bless me, feta, for I have sinned.
Thy kiwi come, thy steak be well-done.
No good faith on my typos, eh?
Nice inning for Jamey Wright
The lox are my shepherd, I shall not shmeer.
To answer your question, Sax, FSArizona has the same graphic in the top-right corner.
Here comes the run explosion. guaranteed bishes.
Shane with a leadoff walk in the eighth
MigLOL Montero.
Victorino SB + error; he's on third
Come on, AGon
Dammit AGon
Kemp with one out and runner on third
If Parra hadn't made that sliding catch, Gonzo would have had a lot of heart.
Commending you on your use of "schmear", Marla
Fuck, Shane nailed at the plate.
However I love the fact that he went in hard, taking contact. I cant remember the last time I saw a Dodger do that.
Leadoff single for Snakes in the ninth.
Come on, League. Show me.
Montero will get the game-tying RBI here.
Dodgers win!
GEWINNT
Dodgers Win!!!
Oh hey, Luis Gonzalez is doing color for the D-Backs.
PHEWPGTUP
