Yeah, that's about how well things are going for both teams.
Clayton Kershaw (4-2, 1.42) vs. Yovanni Gallardo (3-3, 4.50)
When we last saw the Brew Crew, Kershaw was shutting them out over 8 IP, with 12 strikeouts. Since then, the Brewers have gone 5-14 and the Dodgers have gone 5-13. Both teams stand at 17-25 and are the cellar dwellers of their respective divisions. (I bet the Brewers miss the Astros right now.)
So, is there anything worth watching in this matchup of dreadful teams? Of course, and it's the same thing that's been worth watching all season: Clayton F'ing Kershaw. Every one of his starts is appointment television now, as it should be.
I guess it's also worth watching to see if this game has any impact on the Don Mattingly rumor mill. He's still employed...for now.

Mattingly: "Talked to Stan the other day. He didn't fire me. Talked to Ned today. I'm still here. That's how I look at it."
Hello?

Mattingly said Ted Lilly is back in rotation in Matt Magill's spot. #Dodgers won't skip spot with off day Thurs so Lilly will start Saturday

Watching Tim's interview. Sic of hearing them say they're gonna turn it around. When?!
2015.
Very close at 1st
Checking in now. Still at work but I'm gamecasting. Can't wait to see which inning we blow this lead.
3 more wasted.
Second inning, Andre Ethier triples in a run with none out.

We SUCK
We have three hits, including one triple, and only one run to show for it.
1-0 through 2.5.
Brewers' Aoki knows how to hit the ball to the right hand side with a runner on third and fewer than two out.
1-1 Brewers.
Clayton Ks Segura for the final out.
1-1 through 3.
Holy smokes, Ethier smacked the crap out of that ball to right.
Nice to finally see it!
2-0 Dodgers.
ANDRE!
So that's what a dinger looks like!
Dee Gordon, first pitch swinging with a runner in scoring position...grounds to short for the third out.
Gordon now batting .184
STOP THE MADNESS
Any bets on Ethier hitting for the cycle tonight?
I forgot about Dre.
Sounds like it's time to lay off the Kool-Aid...
@BJ: Yeah, I never got that.
This Kershaw kid is pretty good. We should probably sign him to a log term deal. Just sayin.
Shit. Crawford with the speed...I'd almost forgotten what it was like having guys who could leg out a double.
Need to score here.
Well, shucks.
How do we clone this guy?
BISON! Finally, no doubt about that one!
KEMP!!! "Maybe" he's coming back!
I knew you had it in you, Matty
Lyons...stop! 1 home run and he shouts maybe he's coming back! Killing me dude.
I bet that felt good!
Kemp finally pulls ahead of Dee Gordon for HR
Nice job, Kemp!
MATTHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A HIT! Is AJ coming back??! LOL
@Sax: Kemp finally pulls ahead of Kershaw!
As Matt hit that HR, I was typing that I wondered if he had more on his mind than just baseball, since he's from Oklahoma and all.
Here comes Dee Gordon, two out and a man on base for the third time tonight, but at least this time the runner on base isn't in scoring position.
@BJ 6:41p: nice
We need to score 8 more runs if we plan on handing this lead over to the pen.

Dee Gordon strikes out, again!
Dee Gordon, two out and a man on third: K
Dee Gordon, two out and a man on second: ground out
Dee Gordon, two out and a man on first: K
Dee Gordon, two out and no one on --> ?
@Mr F, 6:45p: thanks. it's going in the GT.
@sax. You think sellers would do any better?
Make that, the PGT
Let's kick this guy's Axford.
NOOOOO Lyons you gotta use the special stadium sauce!
Kemp is back.
Why do I feel like Eric Collins is yelling at me when reading the sponsers?
Juuuuuuust a bit outside.
Three Ks swinging for the Dodgers in the eighth.
Ethier gets tossed. Great job, Andre: You've got a triple and a HR in the same game for the first time all year, and you get thrown.
Super-mature.
I really would not mind if Ethier were traded. At all.
Ah, that old Uribe D.
Ethier is untradeable. $85 million!
Dee D!
Dee Duh!
Right after Dee makes a decent play for out #2, he does a crap job throwing sidearm to A-Gon for the third out...and makes an error on the throw.
STOP THROWING SIDEARM DEE
Oh cool. Orel found the magic button again.
Remember when we used to call Dee "Flash"? What happened to that guy?
A-Gon bails him out.
Kershaw, three hits and one run through eight innings.
Glad we got out of that but in terms of pitch count I hope that doesn't hurt us.
Yeah, would have been nice for Kershaw to not have to deal with that other batter.
Come on Uribe close your eyes and swing as hard as you can. It worked when you played for the Giants.
Meh.
Answer to the 6:46p question: Ground out.
Dee Gordon goes 0-for-4 with an error here.
No way Clayton's leaving THIS game to our bullpen.
fly out for out #1
Siddown, Prawn!

Thank God for foul poles.
PUBLIC ENEMY #1
Wow he was two feet from hitting that ball.
We make complete game party!
Beautiful game Clayton. Sign the Kid!!!!
Can I get a hell yeah?
Damn. Just hand Clayton $300M, please.
Heck, yes.
MVP! Making that party!
So happy I don't have to cry myself to sleep tonight.
#PayKer$haw
If there were a way for me to undergo surgery so that I could have Clayton Kerhsaw's babies, I would do it.
Fanerman's feeling his ovaries!
