Josh Beckett (0-4, 5.13) vs. Jordan Zimmermann (6-1, 1.59).
What can we say? The Dodgers respond to boobs and pentagrams. We don't control these things.
Well, it's another start without Kershaw, Greinke or Ryu on the mound. It's another opponent that won't roll over like the Marlins. It's another Dodger offense still not at full strength.
It's Don Mattingly's fault, right? Folly, says Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports. Unfortunately, there's not much Donnie can tell his batters to do against the hottest pitcher in the NL.
A series win against the Fish was a start, but the big boys are in town. Let's see how our boys respond.

Yay pentagram boobs. It's like an Anita Blake novel or something. (I can only gues)
I'm pretty sure I've nurse on those as a child.

Mattingly said Brandon League is still his closer "for now."
Dear Pentagram Forum,
I never thought it would happen to me...

You can spell "Adama" with the first names.
On the other sofa tonight, Vinny!
My god Beckett is a slow pitcher. I just re-read Moby Dick between his first and second pitch to Lombardozzi.
Single to the first batter, 0-3 count to the second. It's Beckett Time!
Then I read the February issue of Penthouse that I hadn't gotten around to.

"Beckett" and "time" seem to go together in a sentence.
Hey, Beckett's on the mound, and we're not losing!
Yet!
Astros CEO and President resigns.
Welcome to the AL, boys!
Men at first and third, one out.
Beckett will be losing in about two more pitches...or ten more minutes.
@Sax
That's a good career move for that Astros pres and CEO.
And just like that, Beckett is losing.
Man at second, two out. 1-0 Nats
Actually you were right - two more pitches.
Beckett is so slow, he's still finishing pitching from his last start.
21 pitches already. Seems like 63.
Beckett with a 61-pitch 1st inning.
DAMMIT
A five-minute delay for the DAMMIT. Look alive out there, Orel!
Who at the Yard tomorrow night?
Hey, I'm on #BeckettTime!
Nice one, Orel!
Dee Gordon tries to bunt his way on.
Dee Gordon is thrown out at first by a step.
Really, why the hell does Dee keep trying to do this? He's not skilled enough at bunting to pull it off. STOP THE MADNESS DEE
A-Gon, one of only two guys on the 2013 Dodgers who has batted well all year
Kemp HR right here, and we take the lead.
Or, first pitch swinging and weak-ass ground ball to third for the force at second. Same thing.
Heading out to dinner at some faincy place that doesn't have sports on the TV. With Beckett pitching, I'll probably only miss 1 2/3 innings.
I've been working 12 hours. Get me a win Dodgers! Or a drink. Preferably both.
Beckett has been pitching for 12 hours.
Vinny being very diplomatic calling Beckett's first inning pitching with caution.
Watching Beckett is like going to the DMV.
Crap. Now I feel like I've been probed by the IRS.
The Roach at bat to put us out of our misery.
Beckett back on the fried chicken, pizza and beer diet?
That winning streak was nice while it lasted
4-0 Nationals, and for some reason I'm just happy it wasn't worse.
#BeckettEqualsLowExpectations
#faveflave
They should make a commemorative bobble head celebrating the streak.
I kinda wish Beckett was on the beer, because at least he'd pitch faster so he could hit the bathroom at the end of the inning
Only four runs given up by Beckett through three innings. He's doing better than usual.
Beckett's already being lifted after three innings?
Beckett wants to go scribble on his own balls
Rockies got pounded today
Arizona was winning
SF idle
@Sax are Becketts balls low and outside?
Cruz DP erases Punto single.
Javy: one pitch, one out!
Javy Guerra in for the fourth. Nice start, Josh. Thanks for the effort!
Beckett hitting the fried chicken and beer
Damn Guerra 123 inning. Wow! That was kinda cool
Braves up 5-1 on AZ
Dee leadoff single! Here we go!
"With Adrian Gonzalez batting, Dee Gordon steals (5) 2nd base, . Dee Gordon advances to 3rd, on a throwing error by catcher Kurt Suzuki. None out."
See? SEE?
If Dee can maintain a 330 OBP, he'll be an asset.
HOW THE FUCK THEY NO SCORE?
Fertilizer
A Whole New Ewwwww
We suck.
#fuckharper and #fucktrout
Haha, yeah.
I have a feeling this team will turn it around. In August when no one cares band they are 20 games back.
Okay that's it for me fellas. Better luck tomorrow night.
We suck.
The Roach up to put us out of our misery. Again.
Can we play assassins circle in every game thread for the rest of the year?
Donny trying to Broxton Guerra.
I think we'll turn it around, too. But man, we suck right now.
In-game assassins circle sounds pretty fun. Each inning can be a round!
We scored! Hope Harper is okay.
Coors Field : Matt Kemp :: Dodger Stadium : Bryce Harper
echo
I'm glad to see Dodger Stadium stand up and cheer when they saw Harper get up.
I went to take a shower. Couldn't take it anymore. We suck too much.
In SD. Just checked in. We suck again, and no amount of boobs or Satan symbols is gonna change that.
Show me the way to go home. I'm tired and I want to go to bed.
Maybe just boobs will work.
Back from dinner. We still suck. Hope that BHarp is ok. Hope that Beckett chokes on a chicken bone.
ps- Angels gave up 11 tonight.
Holy smokes, I just saw the Harper-into-wall collision. That was some impact. It knocked his baseball cap right off of his head!
Hope he's okay.
Ethier had a chance to make us close.
He failed.
Moves Like Jagger playing at the Stadium.
Maroon 5? Sounds like Ethier's line tonight?
Did Vin just botch the name "Mendoza"? Has it gotten so bad, that Scully has to drink as well?!
@Sax: Bravo on the Maroon 5 line!
@Sax
Yes, Vin screwed up Mendoza name but when he said it a second time right after, he nailed it. Could have been an innocent slip, and not the PGA punch he was into.
Good night, Irene. Yogi was wrong. It is over before it's over.
The Donnie Baseball deathwatch heats up.
The Mike Scioscia deathwatch heats up.
@BJ
Yogi was a Yankee. Never trust a Yankee.
Sorry Dusty. You're right. Wasn't Donnie a Yankee? ;-)
Exactly, BJ!
PGT up.
