Dodger Nation: 2 consecutive wins for our @dodgers and they are starting to hit the baseball!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) April 24, 2013
Ted Lilly (0-0, -.--) vs. Matt Harvey (4-0, 0.93).
Winning streak! After dropping six straight, the Dodgers look to make it three victories in a row and climb back to .500. Two considerable obstacles stand in their say: Mets phenom Harvey, who beat Stephen Strasburg his last time out, and the Dodgers' own Lilly, in his first outing after starting the season the DL.
Not coincidentally, in their last two wins the Dodgers have scored seven runs per game. Mellis led the way yesterday, and while Kemp may not be hitting home runs, he's 8 for 19 in his last five games. Crawdaddy seems to be cooling down a bit, but AGon is OPSing .987. Indeed, our Dodgers are starting to hit the baseball. Let's hope they keep hitting the baseball.

Kemp and A-Gon flip-flopped again. No Crawford, but he was struggling a bit anyway.
I always picture Magic standing like he appears in his profile pic while he dictates those tweets to someone else.
Braves and Rockies tied at 3 in the 5th. Snakes and Gnats scoreless.
Let's just change the context a bit for Magic's quote there, just for comparison:
"Two consecutive free throws for @DwightHoward, and he has started to get back on defense without moping and sulking!"
I mean, really. Aim high, Magic.
Fuck the Gats.
Kennedy was left in too long.
Snakes tie it up!
STOOPID BRAVES.
STOOPID DBACKS.
In the words of The Staples Singers, let's do it again!
Giants take the lead!
D'backs tie it up!

Giants tie it up!
Well, more extras. Wear out those bullpens, guys.
Rox won. Dodgers need to win to stay 3.5 back, since first place in April is SUPER IMPORTANT.
Okay snakes, don't blow this.
Alright, Lilly lets do it to it!
Holy shit, we scored in the 1st? Off Harvey?
On my way home from the Least Coast. Was watching Gnats v Snakes. Snakes on a plane, if you will.
Jeez. There's like 3 dozen people in the stands. I don't even think the Mets' parents bothered to show up.
Dusty: "I have had it with these mothafuckin' snakes on this muthafuckin' plane!"
Stewardess: "Sir, please sit down...and put your pants back on."
Ted Lillying things up.
Hudson "might have had a little more range"? You think so, Lyons? He sure as shit didn't run us out of innings the way Ellis does.
Hmmm. Lilly three scoreless.
Harvey don't look as scary as they say he is.
We still haven't scored much on him. 1-0 Dodgers, B4
SF loses in 10
COL wins in 12
Lilly ain't afraid of no mother fuckin snakes.
@Cliff Beefpile 4:33p: make sure you look at tomorrow's 6am post. Brutal.
Credit-card vertical there for Andre Ethier. Not enough!
But his recovery wasn't bad
HAHA! I was getting tanked in the airport bar next to a guy who was a Gnats fan. He had the game up on his iDevice so we were watching it together good naturedly. I was hating him on the inside. Hope he has a shitty flight.
@Dusty: I'm somewhat disappointed you didn't give the guy a wedgie and then make a run for it.
"Gnats suck, bitch!" Carry-on in tow.
Harvey is scarier with his bat than on the mound!? That thing was roped.
@Cliff
It was a rare moment of decorum. I was thinking abt representing Dodgers as an ambassador and breaking through some stereotypes.
But in the back of my mind I wanted to pound his fucking ass into the pavement..
WHAT IS GOING ON???
And it falls apart in the 5th.
#BlameLyons
Lilly gets out of it! Wow.
That could have been worse.
MAN ON WIRE
Dodgers' 2013 slogan: "That could have been worse"
BISON!
BISON HR?!
AT LAAAAAAST
That's definitely a homer. C'mon, ump!
The play stands as called.
That's a homer for Matty!!
@Cliff: sorry but the worst commercial is Heidi Klum fake eating a burger.

(clenches butthole)
Not exactly sure of the timeline here, but I believe the US elected an African-American as president and legalized gay marriage before Matt Kemp hit a HR.
@BJ: Actually any Carl's Jr. commercial qualifies as the worst commercial. Or, at least appealing to the lowest common denominator.
Carl'S Jr commercials are the absolute worst ever.
Except for those Mini Sirloin Burgers, which I really miss. They should bring those midgets back.
Why is Donnie cock blocking Ethier? Why the double switch?
I don't understand baseball.
Someone explain
I think those were Jack in the Box's commercials. So we can be OK with those.
Jesus christ you are so right, Cliff. I was mixing up my shitty SoCal burger chains that I never go to. My bad.

Pitching change. Let's get to these cnuts!
I'm the king of boggle
There is none higher
I gets 11 points off the word quagmire
#BeastiesEasesTheFlightPain
@Dusty: You were forced by societal norms to be civil with a gnats fan...no one expects you to be in your right mind for the rest of the day. Hell, that could qualify as PTSD.
Fuck. Detroit up 3-1. I fucking hate hockey so much.
WTF WAS THAT CRAWFORD?!
Am I crazy or could Crawford have had that had he not slowed up? Woulda been a tough catch, but still. Shades of ManRam.
Weird read on a hard hit ball to left results in 1 out double for the metrosexuals
Nice diving stop by mellis to save a run, 2 out...
Inning over. Suck it, Mets!
The Red Wings another team to cling to that stupid-ass 'Don't Stop Believin' song. As if they didn't suck badly enough.
Well shit, Crawford.
*clenches*
League vs. Wright for the game. Two out, up by one, man on third.
sheee-it
Great play by Hairston....shit camera work by KCAL9.
Aaaand Wright ties it up. Goddammit.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
well this sucks cock
Is there anything Kershaw can't do?
This isn't going well anymore.
:|
Nice job, Josh. Don't come home.
We make potty...
Sweet shit-sucking jesus.
Radio show blamed Collins for jinxing the ninth inning by crediting Lilly with the win and league with his sixth save waaaaaaaaay too early
I agree
What the hell happened here????
PGT up.
