Zack Greinke (2-1, 4.38) vs. Jhoulys Chacin (3-3, 3.90).
Congrats, Dodgers! You just finished with a 10-17 record in May, making it the franchise's worst May ever! Matt Kemp went on the DL just as Hanley Ramirez is getting ready to come off it, the rotation needs a number-four starter, and the bullpen makes the Hindenburg look like a fender-bender.
On the other hand, Juan Uribe is hitting a respectable .287/.394/.414, so there's that.
Yesterday's Game Thread may have been flush with hope, but today we're going with negativity. It's just so easy...like James Loney's new swing, which has him hitting .329/.391/.514. See?

League reminds me of those inbred beasts from "The Hills Have Eyes"
Those mutants can probably pitch better.
Let's go, Dodgers!
I'm feeling the negative. Good to be back in that space.
Coupla cadillacs down me; surly factor while watching Dodgers Live: 7
Uh-oh. Dusty's surly factor at 7 and the game hasn't even started yet. Let's put our seatbelts on everybody. It might get bumpy.
(bumps)
Mattingly trying to be cute when questioned about closing position.
Coy doesn't look good on you, Don.
@Karen
I totally agree. Mattingly could not sell that posture in his interview, and just looked stupid and in over his head.
Wait, where have I heard that before?

Per @DodgersPR:
Juan Uribe led the Dodgers (min. 50 PA) with a .327 May batting average in 22 games.
Our "closer", and I use that term as loosely as he positions his pitches, has a 6.75 ERA through one-third of the season.
I could be bling stinking drunk and blindfolded and have a better ERA than League.
Or a mutant!

Hyun-Jin Ryu isn't sure he can make his start Sunday because of a sore foot. http://atmlb.com/10HxYLg
Thanks for poo-pooing in our cornflakes, Orel.
Surly factor: 8
Here we go...
Greinke struggling here in the second. One run in, one out and bases full of rocks
Surly factor update please!
UJTD!
We needed that double play, Chacin. Thanks
I love how MLB.com GameDay's depiction of Coors Field has a sparsely populated bleacher ("Rockpile") section.
T-Fed delivers!
Check your email, Sax. Just sent something.
Sue Falsone pulls a hammy going to see about Crawford's hammy.
Curly factor: 10
*slaps bald head*
*stammers*
Crawford out with...guess...a hammy issue!
I don't ever remember such an injury plagued start.
It has to balance out soon.
Right?
^ Well played, Spanky
I just ate a ham sandwich. The ham pulled a hamstring halfway through.
RANCHO ERRORIENDO!
OF COURSE WE SEND THE OLDEST SLOWEST WHITE GUY ON EARTH.
Aside from me, obviously.
Boy, there has been some really crappy camera work in this series. Where's Scott, BJ?
You're right, Karen. It's like some Little League dad is filming this game on his Super 8.
Gnomes cracking me up on Facebook.
Nedster being interviewed in-game. Talking up Stephen Fife.
Sam Adams Alpine Spring up in dis bish, for the record.
What are we grilling tonight? Dinger Burgers?
Greinke has a tiny head, for the record.
Surly Factor: 8.75

@Dusty: did Colletti make any mention of his three-year, $22.5M deal to Brandon League? Which still has two and two-thirds left to go?
Kings up 1-0!
@Sax
Honestly I only listened to a bit of Ned then tuned out and tried to enjoy the game and pretend he didn't exist.
YEAH BABY!!
Sa-weet!
Soot I'm late! Shopping with ma sister. She lives in gnats ville. Made her buy a dress in dodger blue. Lol
@karen. I'll send Scott to Colorado!
@Dusty: how ironic. Ned is trying to pretend Brandon League doesn't exist
FedEx has three RBI. Wow
Wow. Donnie has emotions!
Wtf happened with Mattingly here?
Ok. Lets see the game without donnie
Outman.
It's just to easy.
It feels like we should be up by more than we are.
Mrs Dusty in Law: We usually don't do well in this [Coors] field.
Dusty: We usually don't do well.
Does that make us ne'er-do-wells?
Belisario coming in.
Y'all know how I feel.
This will end well.
Gnats lost 8-0 to the Shards today. Cain started that game, I believe.
Thanks, Belli!
Bullpen is just brutal. Must be payback for the years of Gagne and Saito.
Cain got hammered in the first game of the doubleheader. STL 8, SF 0
Mattingly (whom i know is ejected but you get the point) always knows how to get the worst out of this bullpen
That was a perty pitch by J.P.
That pitch fooled me at home on the replay and I had already seen it once.
Mellis, 0-for-4 today
MEllissa ain't getting much done. Can we borrow Robinson Canoe for the rest of the season?
Redemption for Mellis???
Here is where we lose.
Rox acting like it's fucking game 7.
@Karen
That's exactly what my wife just said.
Per Bill Shaikin:
"I'm told #Dodgers pulled Puig out of AA lineup to ensure he doesn't get hurt while team determines status of Crawford."
@ Mrs. Dusty...Great minds and all that.
Boooooo!
Fucky fuck fuck
JULIES!!!!!!!!
Kings lose.
Dodgers lose.
The Sparks had better beat San Antonio tonight, or I'm going to go apeshit.
Nicely played, Sax. Took me a second, but I I have full buy-in now!
Irreverent PGT up!!
