Wily Studies the Scouting Report
Dodgers seek to keep up what could, optimistically and in only the vaguest sense of the word, be called momentum. Crawford and Gonzalez have been anchoring an offense that is beginning to show some signs of life. The already-thin pitching corps was due to send out Stephen Fife today. (I personally watched Fife pitch last weekend in Baltimore, where the Orioles pretty much chased him off a cliff. This guy can blow up at any time, and usually does.) But in an even worse turn of events, this really shitty pitcher gets put on the DL to be replaced by an presumably even shittier pitcher, Matt Magill. Can't make this stuff; it's beginning to feel like we're in a cartoon.
We also get the news that it looks like Mark Ellis is headed to the DL with a quad issue, so look to see Punto and Schumaker fill in until Hanley Ramirez is activated soon and we have more warm bodies to work with.
Ned, please send off to ACME for some reinforcements!

Nice GT Dustometer!
But isn't it "Wile E."?
Memphis by 2 over clips, 8:33 3rd
@Sax
Of course it is, but it's a SoSG tradition and legacy to stretch for a bad pun.
Thanks, Dusty. Only tonight's result will determine if you've angered the boobies gods.
I'm glad Erin returned to catch SoSG at its most upright and mature.
@Dusty 3:28p: oh my god why don't you start a SoSG tradition and legacy blog and post that comment on that blog
Wile E.'s chest is exposed.
I love how psyched Wile E. is in the GT picture. It's like he has no worries at all.
We saw Mcgill at Camelback. Thought that was the last we would see of him this season. Wrong again.
This is all your fault BJ!
Epale,everyone! On my way to the ballpark with the catirrucio, first game of the season :)
A-Gon scratched. I just can't anymore.
Los Angeles Dodgers @Dodgers 5m
Adrian Gonzalez was scratched from the lineup tonight with a small skin infection in his right leg.
AGon scratched because he scratched?
I have a date with some carpaccio tonight.
AJ Reynolds? Losin it Vinny
I'll take the blame or the credit Dusty
At the ballpark, Vinny!
Sitting in the reserve with the people tonight.
Hi Everyone..I have missed the last 3 Dodgers games and what have I come back to?? I had to have my beautiful Dusty Blue put to sleep (he's my avatar}. Anyone who knows me knows my dogs are right next to my daughter and mom in my heart thus the hysterics. I have missed you all though, just be patient with me if I start balling my eyes out if we lose.
Humpties? I like it!
Piss-yellow uniforms? I do not like it
So sorry Karen. Painful to lose a four legged family member.
Thanks so much BJ. He was 17 years old, really old for a big dog but he just kept plugging along year after after. Thank you again, I need all the good thoughts I can get right now.
Sorry about your hound, karen :(
mmm that's it give up a walk and a hit in front of Braun
yeesh
i need to turn this off
Urine could have gone home with that
a little better defense there and that may have been a scoreless frame
Well, I'm here. If the Dodgers can't give me some runs for my first game back in an SoSG game thread, I will...do nothing and keep watching, because that's what being a fan is.
Not much of a threat, I guess.
@Karen: I'm so sorry about that. 17 years is a great run. Your puppy was lucky to have you as a mom.
Let's just start our ups with two outs
@Erin: We've been making that threat a lot lately.
Find me another announcer who even knows the definition of "zephyr," let alone uses it properly in a sentence. I love Vin.
Sorry to hear about Dusty Blue, Karen.
Tied up! Schumaker hustles and Brewers commit an error
@karen, so sorry about your dog. So sad.
I will toast my drink to your dog--
I just came downstairs where the game is on. Did Vinny say my handsome man, Matty scored the run?
@erin, welcome back! You have been missed!
Please for the love of God, make the wave illegal.
We should have scored more there, but I'll take it I suppose.
2-2 through 4
Padres making it a game. They were down 5-0 and now it's 7-6 SF.
McGill baby!
In a 2-2 game, I think it's at least slightly appropriate now that I mention a t-shirt I designed about Vin and this team. I seriously love it. I hope other Dodger fans do, too.
Please forgive the shameless self-promotion.

Six innings from Magill. Two runs. That's way better than most of us thought we'd get, right?
This looks promising, two on, none out...oh wait, Hairston is up and Cruz is next
Prove me wrong Hairston! 3-2 count
Kemp really needs to be more careful with those runs from second to third. That could have been really really bad
Westbrook done for the playoffs. Guess that SI Durant cover holds true again.
Cruz gets the RBI but with another sacrifice
We have to trade two outs to score one run.
Magill, a gorilla, goes 6 2/3.
Way to go boys!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Unbelievable. And another reason the win is a stupid stat anyway. But it still would have been nice for the kid to get one tonight.
That's enough, Matt Guerrier.
Thanks Donnie. Another excellent decision. Good news: lost in space the first episode is on ME TV.
Matt screwed Matt.
FUCK YOU, MATT GUH-REAR.
DRE! Knew it was gone right off the bat.
Everybody else give up on the game?
Still watching. Just quietly.
What the heck? I go pick up an episode of House of Cards, and we're losing in the ninth?
Boooooooo
OKC by 1, Reggie Jackson at the foul line with 8.1 seconds left
At least Colorado lost (3-2 to AZ, F/10).
SF/SD tied at 7 in the 10th
The Luis Cruz experiment has to stop. Really. He's a disaster. Give the kid some time in the minors to work out the kinks.
OKC wins, leads 3-0
Punto works a one-out walk. A-Gon up to PH.
Dodgers down 6-4.
A-Gon, with a 2-0 count, pops a high fly ball behind second base. Two out.
All up to Crawford.
Betancourt gives Crawford a gift. This may be delaying the inevitable, but it's still cool.
Men at the corners for AJEllis.
If we drop this game, it's all because of the boobies
So you're telling me there's a chance.
Crawford steals second. Two RISP.
I'm preparing to be depressed.
Not a bad shot, but not enough. Boooooo
Booooooooooobies
Tomorrow's game thread: Tits or GTFO.
You stay classy, Gnomes.
leadoff single for the Padres, bottom 11, tied at 7
