Chad Billingsley (0-0, -.--) vs. Eric Stults (1-0, 0.00).
After yesterday's calamitous debut at Petco — "Wasteful at bat and sloppy on the mound," per Ken Gurnick — the Dodgers look to tone down the DPs and tone up the pitching.
Billingsley, who has a 2.62 career ERA against the Pads, somehow avoided Tommy John surgery due in part to an off-season regimen of platelet-rich plasma injections. He comes off the DL (displacing Tim Federowicz) to face old friend Stults, who threw five scoreless innings against the Mets last week.
The Dodgers went 11-7 against the Padres last season. If they want a winning record against them again, now would be a good time to start, don't you think?

I think the L stands for Libertarian. Uribe is out cause he is a neo capitalist.
So Punto is a States' Rights guy!? Who knew?
Sellers votes Green Party - it's not what he thinks it is...
Did Shawn Green vote Sellers' party?
dick enberg pronounces uribes name oooribe. sounds like boooribe.well to me anyways.
Ah, there it is! 689-1. Why didn't I guess that!
Matt Kemp batting .120.
And there are two position players in the lineup batting worse than him.

Arizona, SF win big. Col loses
I do like their right field patio. I can't wait till someone gets nailed with a homerun while on their phone.

"Can I ask you an honest question between you and me? What in the world is a hashtag?" —Vin
I love Vin
I think the score is 3-0 but I can't make nything out on this piece of shit broadcast on verizon.
I've been told that if you are a "true" baseball fan, you go for the pitcher's duel everytime. Me, I gotta go with the runs.
Vin cracking me up asking if cats can watch the dog tv.
Booooo

Dammit. 3-1 Dodgers.
Here's a stream of the game via reddit: http://www.vipbox.tv/baseball/148115/1/la-dodgers-at-san-diego-padres-live-stream-online.html

Somebody at T-Mobile watched Django Unchained...
What the hell is on that Cox banner behind home plate? Hello kitty meets Charlie Brown?
Mellis with out 1
Hope our bullpen holds up tonight.
@Sax: Cox mascot
Just as Vin praises Bills for using his head, he guesses they will be sitting on a fastball at 3-1, and chad throws just that. Base hit, padres
Thanks orel
Weak mascot
I like that the Padres are swinging early in the count (except for last inning).
Ransom...not paid
@Sax: Digi responds
Jesus Colorado is the Mascot for the Flaming Menudos. That's a weak Mascot.
Maybe dive next time?
That bouncer killed some worms.
HR would be painful here

I miss the days when Vin said "Amaristo."

I know this is going to age me, but does anyone remember WILLIE Crawford roaming the outfield at DS back in the day?
Throw strikes you drunk Peruvian
@Karen: Wow, he was on the Dodgers for twelve years!
How many different uniforms do the pads have? Blue, brown, cammo, white....
Nice inning, Belli. 10 pitches, one single, 0 runs
Ali can call me if she doesn't want to talk to Carol.
Hello Kitty is a baller.
Katrina ain't here so ill have to say it - Belli is from Venezuela...
But yeah throw strikes!
@BJ: Hey now. He's stoned, not drunk.
Thanks Orel, I don't feel like such a total senior!
saw Crawford many a time back in the day.
@Karen; Im the I'm the old guy here.
*looks for RBN*
Nice hussle Justin, but what were you thinking?
If you're batting .150, and hit a leadoff single with a three-run lead late, why stretch it?
nice hustle but you out sellers.
Sellers thought he was Crawdaddy
You can say that again
Sellers caught trying to stretch. Way to push your luck.
It's true, Neeebs is very old!
I remember Darryl Thomas out in centerfield and his basket catches always giving me heart attacks.
Red Sux sellout streak comes to an end. Good times.
Amen, Spank.
Jansen with a K
Good grief, pod fans are almost as ugly as gnat fans. I just HATE those bastards in NoCal.
Denorfia with a one-out single. He's batting better than Crawford!
Jansen getting hit here. Back to back singles, one out.
Hold it together, Ken Lee.
Kemp tracks down a deeeeeeeeeeep fly out.
Glad they didn't move the fences in any further
I think I'm feeling a little full of myself playing the hate card in San Diego. On a Wednesday.
Ha-ha Jerkoff. No soup for you.

Great hustle, Skip!
Schumacher with a sweet catch!

Nice leather, Skip!!
Wish I could have seen that catch.

On my sofa, Orel!
