Joe Blanton (9-12, 4.95) vs. Andrew Werner (1-1, 3.00).
The Dodgers take their undefeated September with them against the Padres for the first game of this three-game series at home. Blanton was pretty solid last time out, but the key person today will be yesterday's savior, Adrian Gonzalez.
Gonzalez' one-out, 2-RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning was a huge breakthrough both for Gonzalez as well as the struggling Dodgers, who are 3-5 since the blockbuster trade. Today also marks the first time that Gonzalez is seeing his former team since being traded to the Dodgers. Let's hope AGon doesn't look back.

Is that the reality tv series about the Ecksteins?
4-4 Better Guys!
So the Cards won but the Pirates lost. Atlanta won as well. So we have a chance to vault Pittsburgh in the wild card race, although not jumping into a WC spot...
5-4 Snakes now!
Giants down.
Dammit!
Down 6-4!
6-4!
Clearly, my touting the score is not jinxing it, so I'm going to keep going.

This is a game Zito started.
Giants
Suck
!
Snakes score five in the sixth and make it 7-4
9-pitch sequence by Penny to Kubel results in a Kubel double.
8-5 Marginally More Tolerable Guys in the bottom of the 8th.
Dammit snakes!
8-7 going into the 9th. NOT COOL, Snakes. Not cool at all.
Just assume the Giants will win, ridiculously hot right now.
Every out they make is productive.
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan
Oyster Pubes double ties it up at 8.
JJ Putz: not good
All tied up.
Fuckers.
I think I just let out a giant swarm of bees from my mouth when the Giants tied it.
RIP MCD
Gibby keeps The Putz in.
Gibby got the Putz out of there.
Oh wait, aha- thanks, ARI announcers who just told me that Putz was taken out. Who are these guys, drunk Mark Grace?
Two down. Now they will win it and I will throw my iPhone. No not yet. When do the new ones come out?
September 5 announcement on the new iPhones, Paul. You should be able to safely throw this one and only have to wait a few before snagging a new one. It will be worth it, believe me.
Free baseball. 8-8
Tied up still.
Thanks Dusty.
I'll save the iPhone destruction for our boys.
The Giants have scored the 2nd most runs in the NL post ASB.
The Giants are playing unsustainably. I'm Not worried. They will crash and burn.
Oyster Pubes will be diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis
It would take a pretty monumental collapse for us to actually catch them. Im just hoping they suck in the playoffs.
I had a dream about AB disease last night. This season is taking a mental toll on me.
And the Gnats win it.
Ballgame.
Can someone invent a new cuss word that I can use to describe the Gnats' win?
SF wins in ten. Bastards.
Yeah, we're not winning the division.

On the sofa, Vinny!
Forgot to get pasta for dinner, Vinny! Headed to Vons so willbe a few mins behind on tha TEE-voh.
Picked a crappy year to win the WC.
Giants will never lose again.
Well when the team was picked to finish last, i think everyone would have been happy with a shot at the wild card.
Oh right, it's Blanton.
I'm already breaking out my * for the Gints. Two drug suspensions this year.
hedley
2-0 SD
That dude at the front railing totally whiffed on the home run catch.
We still can win this division. Six head to head games, remember.
Now, starting this game spotting the Padres two runs doesn't help.
A-Gon walks. Kemp up.
Flies out to CF.
The actress who plays Jack in the Box's wife is everywhere!
Wotchale.
Wotchale, Mr. F!
Werner is owning us here
Andrew Werner is mowing through the heart of our lineup.
CRUUUUUUUUUUZ
Gary Shandling is behind the plate.
If you change your settings to Spanish it is Gary Shandalino
favorite player: Robert Andino
What's the point of walking the #8 hitter to load the bases with one out if the pitcher just strikes out? Now they have the leadoff hitter up with the bases still loaded.
Ks the pitcher and leadoff guy!
Okay... offense please?
Kemp's swinging and missing at mid-80s stuff right over the plate.
Hanley Ks looking at an 89-mph pitch on the upper-insider corner.
We're getting mowed down =(
At least Ethier made contact. Moral victory.
I wish our pitchers could pitch against the Dodgers a few times.
Chad Moriyama @ChadMoriyama
Was that fastball too down the middle for Hanley to swing at or something? lol wut
Great play by Ellis. Shitty throw by Hanley.
1-6-3 DP! Finally the Padres do something we would do!
CRUUUUUUUUUUZ
epale everyone!
sorry for the delay, I was busy being an aunt over facetime :)
Safe at home!
Luis did the limbo at home plate!
Epale, Auntie Karina!
In play, runs!
The run scores and Werner ends his first-pitch strike streak.
Chochitoooooo
hello Orel!
Good game by Blanton after that shaky start.
Shakey's pizza should sponsor the first 3 innings of Dodgers games.
Hola Karina!
I actually could go for Shakey's pizza. And some mojos.
Shakey's Pizza is already sponsoring the Yankees' division hopes.
Matty Ks on three pitches. Is Werner that good or Kemp that bad today?
HANLEY
Is Kemp really swinging. His ABs are godawful.
Lo Viste!
HANLEY IS THE MOST AWESOMEST RAMIREZ.
HANRAM!!!
Anyone know how the wild card game works as far as location? I assume top team gets the home game but
Knowing Bud the homerun derby decided it.
"The Board of Trustees will meet at the mound." —Vin
Wild card home field determined by which team hit into more DPs.
Dodgers have it sewn up.
Home field is determined by runs scored divided by losses to the power of three.
Home field is determined by which team has Juan Uribe.
Home field is determined by ME.
Don't think the Dodgers really want to play at home anyways.
Beli gives up the go-ahead run. 3-2 Pads.
Beli picked that ball up like he was looking for his contacts.
Stupid Chase Headley.
Who will be the first SOSG to sing GBA at Dodger Stadium.
My money is on Nomo.
Stubbs was a front runner until he auditioned singing it in Latin.
DelinO sang the theme song to "Sanford & Son" for his audition.
Which is strange, because there are no words to that song.
PUNTO TIME
I hear Sax auditioned with a GBA/ Living La Vida loca remix.
Can't wait for Stults to shut us down tomorrow.
AC really turned heads when he mimed his performance.
I Predict a 4 run bottom of the 8th.
I am 2 for 367 in my predictions this year.
Dodgers are facing Gale Sayers?
We do lead the league in bitching.
This is pissing me off.
They've got 'em right where they want 'em.
Wow. Lefties were 0-17 with 9 ks against him. First pitch single.
Karma all used up then?
J.P. Hoornstra @jphoornstra
Leon Landry, whom the Dodgers sent to Seattle in the Brandon League trade, clinched the California League batting title today.
Well, this would be big.
Most of that average came with us.
@Orel 7:44p: so Leon's getting LARGER?
Dammit.
Matty might be pressing a little.
Would've been ball four.
slider, down and away.
I don't get that am/pm commercial. Beethoven is totally dead already.
Kemp swings at ball 4.
At least he made contact.
Orel is getting ready to tackle me in case of a AGon walkoff
Jamey Wright has been pretty good lately.
Handley has bat speed.
Hanley, that was a bad time for K #3
Now Ethier can't walkoff
Fuck!!!!!
Don't look now, Sax, but I'm outside your place getting ready to tackle you.
STILL ALIVE
ANDRE!
That was fucking huge, Andre
Against a lefty no less
Fuck yeah!!!.
WHOO ANDRE!!
Cochito trying to end it with one swing.
Whoops, I'm watching the game in my mirror.that was a righty.
Cruuuuuuuzito!!!!
This Cruz guy is fuking unbelievable.
I mean, he's no Uribe, but still.
abreu on deck to PH for Wroght
Sorry for all the typos guys
End this, AJ!
Let's blow this guy and go home Ellis!
Wait...
Ha, Abreu.
Well, he ended something.
Blow this thing I meant...
Wait...
Dammit, Abreu is up there swinging like he hasn't played in months
Abreu does not look comfortable there
Come on Bobby!!!
Thank goodness for Elymania.
Neither do I. Extra baseball we go.
Logan gets hit back. Premeditated?
And yet, Logan had no forsythe that he was going to be hit.
Oh shit, Headley, this game is over.
Nice recovery by League after plunking the first batter. Now let's win this thing.
Okay top of the order. Let's win this!
Cruuuuuuuuz rocks the 5-3 DP
I like that guy
League is also pitching well of late, too.
I'm telling you, we are going to be fine in the postseason.
End this, MEllis!
Now would be a nice time for Victorino to not suck
C'mon Dodgers I have a fantasy draft to attend to!
Shane, surprise me
Come on Vicster!
Hit him!
Just take the walk Shane
Fuck, Shane Victorino is the Dyin' Hawaiian
The Not Complyin' Hawaiian
End this Gonzo.
The Not Even Tryin' Hawaiian
Jeez, that was ugly.
On to 11
Booo-urns.
What the hell was that commercial before Joe Theismann per-emptied it? Indian guy in white singing?
The playoff spot not vyin' hawaiian .
Another League? I am guessing not an Extraordinary Gentleman.
League again? Man, this is cutting into my Elymania pool-er, I mean, fun. Yeah, fun.
That was the dog whisperer! But I don't know why
This game would be over if Belisario would have just given me a damn picture.
Nic, you're saying that Belisario blew you off? That's not like him.
Well i was dressed as a customs official.
I am wrong, League does great. On to bottom 11.
That's for blowing off Fresno State Kotsay!!
I am not a big Ketel One fan. I mean, it's good and all, but not great.
Speaking of boo-urns...
House of Pain going on at the Ravine
C'mon, Matty!
Kemp taking all the way of strike 1
Outside and away, kemp doesn't budge. 1-1.
Again. 2-1.
Dammit Matt. 0-for-5.
I had a big argument with a bartender once about having Ketel One one the top shelf.
Let's go Blue
Come on Hanley
200
On the top shelf.
