Thank you, Jackie. Go Dodgers!
Sorry. Words are failing me today. Normal GTs will resume tomorrow. Levity is welcome in the comments, as always.

There will be more times to boo Carlos Quentin, if not tonight:
"There's been many different ideas and thoughts and concerns out there," Quentin said Sunday. "Let me say this as far as the Dodgers series: Obviously I will miss the upcoming one but I will be a part of the rest. We play them many times."
We'll be ready, Quentin!
Is he not appealing?
I'm glad you made that joke.
AC, Dusty & Orel in the house
@sax
Aren't they all number 42 tonight?
A number of our lads are wearin their socks the right way tonight, I note with appreciation.
Wish I could be there, Sons! Bring home a win (and Quentin's head on a pike)!
One of the best national anthem renditions at dodger stadium.
I wasn't expecting Rachel Robinson to be here, and escorted out by Magic no doubt. Color me overwhelmed with emotion.
Magic is so generous. Everyone gets a photo op.
On the sofa Vinny!
epale everyone!
i need a Dodgers win tonight
Aaaaaand Kareem tells us it's time for Dodger baseball.
Happy Jackie Robinson Day everybody.
Epale Sistah
I can't tell but do the umps wear 42 as well?

Yes, according to Vin.

I like this 42 guy!

come on,mutts. best drive someone home with two on and no out.
RANCHO ARDIENDO
let's score for Jackie!
rancho ethierendo two outs. Do it,Dre Day!
who watched the movie?
i guess the rich people sitting behind the plate don't cheer unless they make another million.
"and the Dodger frustration continues" says Vin
*pukes*
3 LOB in the first inning? SHOCKING!
@ Karina
going to watch the movie this coming weekend with my bro.
Well this game is over...night all. :(
As usual, great story by Vin.
Homerun by the enemy pitcher. Crap.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
fuck in hell. the pitcher? really?
sistah, no only that BUT he used to be a Dodger
booze take me away
I....
What....
Stults?
Sistah...You're right. Those former Dodgers always come back to haunt us. (Think Cody Ross).
Eau de impotence at Dodger Stadium
Will the DS basepaths become Gilligan's Island again?
AGON!!
here we go
Is Chad hurt again?
C'mon Billz. Put a stop to this crap.
No soup for you Stolz
Will Stults wear a Dodger or Padres hat into the Hall of Fame?
Wow Crawford.
I heart Crawdude!
It's the shoes.
Dennis Martinez.
I was at that game.
Howdy all.
C'mon, Dodgers, today sucked enough...let's get a W tonight.
Nice hook to get Blanks.
Happy Jackie Day everyone.
Same to you DBT!
A couple more solid hits like that by Kemp will certainly help.
Kemp with a lead off double, moved over by AGon. 1 down and Ellis scores him!
A HIT WITH A RUNNER IN SCORING POSITION!
(cries)
Didn't Eithier just have a 3-0 count?
shazbot
One run, yeah that's enough of that. Don't wanna overdo it.
Being able to call someone Jerk-O and get away with it is the only bright side to playing the madres.
Nice play sellers.
But now 5-3.
But now 5-3.
Free more Cubans!
Booooooooo!
Great seeing Mr. & Mrs. Dusty! Also ran into AC and his pops before the game!
@Karen: That rocks (re: El Presidente)
JP Howell? I was just thinking today that I have yet to see this guy on action, and here he is. Show me whatcha got
@ Orel...I was there with my {then} husband. He knew nothing about baseball and couldn't appreciate what he saw.
I said then, right?
I'm starting to wonder if McGwire isn't at least some of the problem here.
Come on guys~!!!!!
JP Howell me likes
Is it me or are they not showing Mark McGwire at all? I haven't watched every game this season, maybe half of 'em, but I haven't even heard his name mentioned.
I guess I wouldn't wanna be shown either if I were in charge of this pathetic offense.
It sucks that both our SS and 3B are automatic outs
Afterburners baby!
Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball? being played bt top and bottom of the 8th with nice Jackie imagery on the Dodgervision. Sweet production tonight.
Did you see Luis Cruz hit that ball? No. No you didn't.
If Dre doesn't hit a HR, we score 0 this inning
Two on, no out....
Ethier walks. First and second with no outs, but black holes coming up.
Has Dre worn that same dirty ass old helmet for the past 6 years? Doesn't he know McCourt is gone and he can request a new one?
@Karen: Dude had it coming
Let me guess, Urine PH?
Dodgers 3-for-11 with RISP tonight
Great, a .167 hitter is our best guy off the bench. Hell put in Babe Ryuth
Schumacher announced as PH
Games the dodgers are supposed to win this year:
Opening Day - Check
Jackie Robinson Day - ?
Last game of World Series - !!!
I'm going to bed. This team is crap.
Oh well...
I...can't...even.
Fire the whole damn coaching staff
How much longer until Hanley comes back... And Gordon is recalled from AAA?
I'm going to start calling him "Carnival" Cruz
Because shit is rolling down the walls it is so bad
Where's that panic button?
I am rereading Steve Howe's book Between the Lines. I had forgotten that he tells the story of the horrible car accident he was in with his then fiance and her parents. He said a drunk driver 's car was going about 100 mph and the tire hit the dirt and he lost control and hit them head on. It was very eerie because the way I remember him dying was hitting the dirt on the soft shoulder out in the desert on Hwy 10 and rolling his truck. I don't know if there were any drugs in his system. I remember the newscast saying he fell asleep.
At least we have Kemp coming up in the 9th...
*cries*

Is it too late to revamp the bench?
When you yell at TV cursing Mattingly for NOT pinch hitting Uribe, you know there are problems in Chavez Ravine.
This is the worst game I have seen in quite some time. And the longest.
It's been such a long time. I think I should be going.
I've got more than a feeling this season is gonna suck.
PGT up. I'm saltier than the Dead Sea.
@Karen
Was between the lines highway imagery, or a cocaine metaphor for Howe?
