Clayton Kershaw (3-2, 1.73) vs Barry Zito (3-1, 3.29).
The Dodgers haven't seen the Giants since the Opening Series at Dodger Stadium, when Clayton Kershaw homered and threw a majestic shutout, before the Giants snuck out of town with lucky victories in games 2 and 3.
Barry Zito has gone seven innings in each of his three home starts. He's still annoying. The Dodgers missed Zito in that Opening Series, but he's 9-10 lifetime against the Dodgers with a 3.71 ERA. Kershaw is 9-4 lifetime against the Giants with a 1.28 ERA, the lowest ERA against any NL team.
I don't care for the Giants much.

Kershaw not technically on roster yet. Ellis not going on DL. No announcements on Crawford or Lily.
I want this one bad, bishes.
Lilly to DL.
I guess rotation is Kershaw, Magill, Ryu, Beckett, then...Capuano?
No, I think "...then Spanky."
Schumaker is making a case for the fifth slot
This is a hot weekend
It is one hot muther chucker up in dis bish!
(drinks)
Still no Crawdaddy?
Shaikin reports that Crawford can pinch-hit if needed.
Can Kemp hit if needed?
I'll have to defer to the "expertise" of Mark McGwire on that one.
Who was that toad on the pre-game with Steve Lyons?
We are all with you Clayton. A heavy heart for our main man tonight.
On the sofa, Vinny!
@Paul
RIP MCA
This one is for you and your pops, Kid K!
I love Clay...and hate Hate HATE the orange and black bastards from hell.
A-Gon scratched. Dodgers recall James Loney.
Exactly DB on all your posts.
But not fondly.

#Dodgers scratch Adrian Gonzalez on a night they're already running short of healthy hitters: http://lat.ms/15bL9Yd
This is going to get ugly.
By this, I mean me.
What-the-pho about A-Gon?
Some pho sounds good right now.
UGLY UGLY UGLY uniforms! Can't handle it. Dusty grumpy.
Dusty and I are crossing streams on Twitter.
@Nomo
And rockin it, if I do say.
#PassesTheMic
Joe West is plate ump. This won't end well.
For the buffet.
Wow, times is hard in NY. Beaten at home - shut out - by A's.
Well that was some blue balls.
Can't tell the difference between James Hetfield and Kung Fat Panda.
SLOW CATCHER IS SLOW
I GUESS he had to wait to see if the ball was going to be caught....but still.
SLOW CATCHER IS SLOW
Thrown out by White Loney.
"A fistful of deuces" -Vin
Then we dropped a deuce on this inning.
"I ate the bones?!?"
(cries)

LOL White Loney. Proud of that one.
Kinda looked like A.J.'s foot got in there, but whatevs.
@Spank
Who do you hate more, Lars or Gnats?
@Gnomes
I thought the same thing re AJEllis at the plate, but then again I'm biased.
I'mma say it again: Kemp just looks like he has no idea how to approach any AB. He just stands up there and takes good pitches and swings at bad ones, then sulks back to the dugout. Something is up.
UJTD
His shoulder has gotta be a lot weaker than he's letting on. But is it hurting?
Kemp Ks on three pitches from Zito?
I think it's his mental state and plate approach more than the shoulder.
Eric Stephen @truebluela 47s
RT @CSNBaggs: Hanley Ramirez's hand is bothering him. He's wincing and shaking it.
8 in a row retired by Kid, but only first K.
Fucking double plays.
Puntoriffic!
Keyshaw has a lot on his mind tonight. Is it possible the rest of the guys could step up so he doesn't have to carry this team, too?
The Kershaw legend grows...
Clippers blow....as usual.
Good question,Dusty. I'll say my hatred for the Gnats runs deeper than my hatred for Lars.Still there is a lot of hateHateHATE for both to share.
I'm back home. I hear Cedars Sinai is renaming the hospital after the Dodgers.
Zit head is out of the game.
Wheels coming off that Clipper bandwagon really fast.
Great, HanRam tries for third stupidly and hurts himself. What have we done to anger the gods?
What the hell, Ramirez?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What a fucking moron.
I blame David Stern
What kind of low life, shit for brains and black souls cheer when a player is hurt.
Oh yeah, were in frisco.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
We are scraping the bottom of the barrel If Cruz is up
I feel like we need to blow up the Steve Bartman baseball or something to break the bad curse we have on us.
Is there a difference now between Dee and Cruz? Not any more.
goddamnit @Cruz and the Grizzlies
Rancho Kershawiendo!
kill the ball,kid k!
I truly believe the 3-0 pitch is called a strike more often than it would be if that pitch came at any other point in the count. Think about how many times a borderline call at 3-0 suddenly makes the count 3-1. It's like the ump feels bad for the pitcher or something. I'm not saying that just happened; it's just something I think about a lot.
I'm almost out of snark at this point.
Matt Barnes is mad.Go punch out your wife,asshole.
All star infield?
At 8:43 I wrote "Keyshaw." You should have shamed me out of this thread.
Don't worry, Dusty. Scully's not.
"That is not exactly the 1927 Yankees," Scully says of our lineup.
Right now is the only time i like hearing the Beat LA chant. #Clippers
This feels like we're losing 162-2 in the 79th inning.
no mo no no
Bull crap
damn
Oyster Pubes nailed at the plate!
Tatonka!!!! What a throw!
Clippers lose! All is well in my basketball world.
Wonder if people will trash Chris Paul for getting thrown out in the same way they trashed Dwight Howard?
Dodgers saying officially it's a hammy for HanRam.
This is one bad luck injury prone team
(cries)
cc: Mr F
What's wrong with AGon? I tuned in late
9 hits, 6 walks...and one run. Vin says "that's not good."
@DBT
Apparently he collided with an ump in the last game and now has a neck issue.
I mean, really?
WTF? Seriously? Unbelievable
AJ is not immune to the RISP virus
We've left more men standing around than a CalTrans project tonight.
1-1 after seven.
I hate that Kershaw is doing this on the road. The stadium would be going crazy for him at home tonight.
We need Kershaw's bat in there even though he's at around 100 pitches.
Whoa, Neeebs!
I can't comment on my kindle with this stupid autocorrect
Cruz has to be sent down. He just can't do it. Bring up Puig or whomever at this point.
Even if he doesn't play infield.
We have to turn this Noffense around somehow.
Crawdaddy on deck to bat for Kid K.
Colors on THIS channel,holmes.
Can we send down Skip too?
Why is Crawford on the bench tonight?
Dusty, problem is Cruz can't be sent down. Only DFAed, and can refuse minors assignment.
Not like I'd be crying in my Stone if he became a free agent.
Finally getting to watch this on TV. What'd I miss?
Did Vin just say Sergio Nomo?
We are so incredibly bad.
Yeah I know that about Cruz. You know what I'm saying. Get rid of that useless 2012 has been.
SHIT SANDWICHES! GET YER SHIT SANDWICHES HERE!!!
well shit. looks like we will never get a clutch hit.
Been suffering from a particularly nasty stomach flu these last few days. My doctor says it's not been directly caused by the Dodgers shitty play, but I'm not ruling it out.
And get yer Poo-a-Poos, too!
We have ten hits. They have three. We have the same number of runs. What up
At least Cruz can still bring it with the glove.
Uh, I retract that last statement.
SHOOT HIM INTO SPACE
This won't end well, will it?
Seriously? Grown-ass men wearing panda hats?
I figured this team would be mediocre defensively, but they've been fucking awful so far.
Kenley going right at Sandoval. Fouls off a 94-mph fastball.
Sit down you fucking fat piece of fuckin shit!
"The boy from Brawley" = Sergio Romo
What do you have to say about that, Spanky?
Punto caught looking on a dubious call. Shows some fire — glad to see someone cares.
FUCK ROMO IN BOTH EARS!
Full count to Matty....
Kemp singles. It's not a K.
Oh good, Sellers at bat. This is what a $250 million payroll gets you?
Giants set up for a walk-off. Great.
Yup. Good night.
11 hits and you can't get more than one run?
GET A GODDAMN HITTING COACH
SSPGT UP!
