Hyun-Jin Ryu (0-1, 1.42) vs. Jeff Locke (0-0, -.--).
The Dodgers have held the Bucs scoreless over two games. Of course you gotta beat the bad teams, but let's not pretend we can trot out Greinke and Kershaw every series. So we turn to Ryu, who was steady but not overly impressive in his debut in blue. The Pirates are the only homerless team in the majors, so here's hoping the Dodgers pitching staff keeps it that way.
As for Locke, who was promoted to Pittsburgh's rotation after two years of spot-starting? The Dodgers are tied with the lowly Marlins for the second-lowest run total in the majors, so the (Jimmy) Key is: Start hitting with runners in scoring position already. Let's do this!
UPDATE: Sax just found out he's going to the game. He won't be too mobile during the game, but if you're going, leave a comment in this thread...

Sellblock!
Wait. What?
So GBA on Sundays only? I can live with it.
I wish I could say the Clippers would make some noise in the playoffs, but they're softer than a bag of Charmin. Even with Barnes.
Man Hollywood has some great computer technology these days. That CGI of Sellers hitting a HR was soooo life like!
Never seen so many readers confounded by a Dodger HR!
Barely a zephyr, per Vin. I love old people words.
Gnats still down 9-2. Feels good.
MEllis at .991 lifetime fielding average for 2B. That is just sick.
Just tweeted that, Dusty!
Come on, Matty. No pressure here...we're up 3...get on track with a nice double down the line.
Punto SB!
The Pirates are more fun to make fun of when Martin's behind the plate.
Kemp draws the walk. It's a start.
@Cliffy "The Pirates are more fun to make fun of when Martin's behind the plate."
So true!
DAMN THAT MUSIC IS LOUD
AGon's fourth RBI of the day? Wow!
That pitching mound song was freaking loud! I could hear it from my patio.
AGon may be losing his power but he can still knock 'em in.
Offense. Who knew?
Come on, JHa Kid - I want to see a Pie rat pounding here.
I'll take AGon doubles all day if Matty can get the HR ball cranked up.
In the last week, we've learned that in order to play a really good third base you have to have a minimum BMI of 35.
Mellis is a beast with the leather today!
Please for the love of god don't tell us about Neil Walker's dad again.
Neil Degrasse Walker
Much like the ump today, my comma usage is all over the goddamn place. I blame booze and dropping out of community college.
Neil deGrasse Walker Texas Ranger
Let's pound some pie rat ass now, just for fun, boys. Else I'll have to figure out something else to do with my life the rest of this fine Sunday.
"NOW Open for Breakfast" should not be in quotation marks, Burrito Express!
That goddamn Jon Miller call in that MLB Extra Innings commercial is really starting to piss me off.
Too much hate for a Sunday game against the Pirates.
Ramon Hernandez steps in. 37 years young!
@Cliff
Just keep repeating to yourself "9-2 Cards over Gnats". It helps.
That "ovation" for Hernandez was very Monty Python-esque.
"And the crowd goes wild."
"yaaay."
Nomo, what are you thinking with @Dodgers' reply to Todd? Something like "Aw c'mon! Nick wouldn't slow those kids down too much."
Per @Dodgers, 3rd sellout in 6 games. 52,053 in the Yard, counting Saxy.
Dodgers PR @DodgersPR 27s
Tonight's attendance: 52,053. The #Dodgers 3rd sellout in 6 games. Ravine is rocking.
Hernandez goes down in his first Dodger AB.
So, Bruno Mars' band was "lip syncing" with their instruments last night, right?
Todd Munson @themunson 39s
@Dodgers Oh come on ; ) What could really happen when thousands of kids all try sliding head first into first?
Jason Grillex in to pitch and spin some tunes.
O GRILLI?
Vin loves him some father/son history.
So it looks like AZ and COL will both be 5-1.
One HR and now they're afraid of him. Sellers Power!
@rbn: Not too surprising considering what happened to his son.
Grilli went to college in New Jersey? I thought I smelled something. Wash yer hair, Grilli!
Grilli is one greasy mophead, isn't he?
Come on, Skip. Pretend like you're still a pesky Card.
Uh oh, Guerrier.
Heh. Dickey.
One down!
Dickey was knocked around?
Not enough insurance runs for a Guerrier outing.
11-2 Cards now.
Heh...you said Dickey.
Dickey was knocked in the dirt.
Thought I heard Roy Oswalt was roughed up as well.
"Today was the big day in San Francisco. They gave out the World Series rings, and then the Cardinals obviously gave them the piece of humble pie." —Vin
Right in their pie holes!
Didn't make it to stick around for the Kids Run The Bases.
But we DID get a Kemp jersey! That's worth the price of stubhub-fueled admission.
Down to 6 beers in the fridge. This one better be over soon.
Or Spank better stay away from mi casa.
Get rid of some vowels, Guerrier!
Sax, you're a better man than I. My kids are bugging for another giveaway day.
Might do if it's a Sunday (and I can start at the Shortstop).
BTW, now have 3 pairs of those Lunarlon Nike shoes we spoke of. They make sweet, sweet love to the feet.
C'mon Thurston!!
Stop rooting for the other team, Vinny!
Pedro Alvarez evokes audible pity from Vin.
Hope Alvarez enjoys AAA. The club, not the minor league division.
I Love LA!!!
I Love LA!!!
WIN
Howell has a NASTY bender.
In other news, I was on a nasty bender in Vegas last week.
SWEEP!
@rbnlaw: I wore my lunarlons to the game today! Like walking on air. This particular pair is so worn out, it's been to four countries and three continents already.
"Winning solves everything."
-Tiger Woods
I Love LA
We make sweep!
@Sax:
Why don't we just start a blog where we talk about comfortable Nike shoes?
Seriously, best shoe they make.
You tha man, AGon!
Beat the Madres!
*makes party*
A. Gon: "We gots chemistry, bishes!"
#paraphrased
Hope the Pie Rats start getting hot tomorrow.
uhhnhhhh, hot rat pie.
Dodgers just one game out of the wild card!
@rbnlaw: I do love those Nike lunar flys. AC got me hooked on them.
14-3 Shards over Gnats late.
PGT finally up!
