Clayton Kershaw (5-3, 1.85) vs. Jason Marquis (6-2, 3.82)
Both were legendary figures in their initial Spring Trainings, now Clayton Kershaw (a.k.a. The Minotaur) and Yasiel Puig (a.k.a. Brute 66) will team up for the first time in the big leagues. Standing in their way will be the nefarious duo of Jason Marquis (a.k.a. Marquis Desaad) and Carlos Quentin (a.k.a. The Human Asshole)*.
The Dodgers have already won the series, only their second series win against an NL West opponent this season. (The other was against, you guessed it, the Padres back in early April.) A win tonight would ensure a sweep, an exit from the NL West basement, and a continuation of the undefeated streak in the Puig era.
Wouldn't that be super?
Dodgers tickets
*This is also the last chance for any kind of revenge against Quentin in front of the Dodger Stadium crowd until August 30th. Just let Puig hit about three dingers before you go plunking, K.

Can we bring a King over from Staples to get the job done against Quinten?
Over/under on games before Puig gets some chin music?
But he'll swing at it and crush it.
It'll be a good test for him.
He flips his bat a lot, but he runs quite fast around the bases when he hits home runs.
Or, he'll catch it with his teeth and spit it back.
He didn't flip his bat last night. First HR had kind of a high release but, you know, not in a disrespectful way.
Ahhh I guess I interpret that high release as sorta a bat flip, but I know nothing about baseball. I don't think it's disrespectful though.
He also didn't really admire either one.
I'm out for blood tonight...can't watch the game, but I'll be checking in from time to time
This is a Yasiel Puig bat flip (0:28). Probably best if he doesn't do that in the majors.
Just have bad flash backs when the Reds decided to throw at Manny high and tight every at bat and eventually got him.
Too bad, BJK! I guess you'll know when Puig hits a HR by the shaking emanating from Dodger Stadium.
@Paul: That was Homer Bailey, right? Fucker.
Nice video of The bat flip. Love the music.
Puig crushed the ball but you are still in trouble because his next at bat he will get a double.
But don't worry. Be happy.
Puig is on Team Rocket?
I say disrespect the mofos Yasiel. I can't wait to see you flip that bat at phone booth park.
Is there a way to flip his bat directly into Quentin's face? He may not want to use that bat again though. #shiteaterquentin
Now that would be multitasking!

Wow, that Elbert news came outta nowhere, didn't it?
someone should duct tape shit eater then feed him all the feces from the dodger stadium toilets on La Raza day when Dre cooks.
@Spank, I don't think that ironic punishment would work on shiteater.

See, is that really a bat flip? I call that a high release point.
Jason Marky
On my ass, Vinny!
One pitch, one out. Good trend.
A struggling Chase Headley is my favorite kind of Chase Headley (until we sign him).
K
I think Ron Ron does that bat flip at the SOSG softball games.
Nice bounce at least.
FCQ up.
That idiot is really hacking.
Vin says that last pitch was 100 mph?
It's like Magic just discovered the "tweet" button.
Puig time.
Magic's publicist is busting out the PR on twitter.
Not only am I totally jacked to see Brute66, I also love to hear Vinny so jazzed.
DAMMIT PUIG
Dammit.
Please move Hanley to third.
christ, we are a gawdawful fielding team
BABIP gods do not like Hanley
Take note of the Padres' fielding, Hanley.
Do we have the slowest centerfielder in baseball right now?
@FB, yes.
Kershaw is not at his sharpest tonight.
I really like the look of the clean shaven Clayton, but I'm thinking it might be time to regrow the fur.
Puig almost guns down Denorfia taking third. His accuracy is as remarkable as his power.
No run! Good job Dre!!
Andre doubles up Cabrera at first! Guess 'Dre was tired of being ignored.
Smart play by Dre!
Dre with the assist!
YAAA ETHIER!
FUCK YOU SHITEATER
It's bad enough to lose one at the wall. Having the Shiteater catch it is fucked up.
Fuck you ump!
That last pitch was clearly outside.
Jerkoff solo HR off Kershaw.
Well, shit.
christ
we're gonna end up hating that asshole for a long time, aren't we?
feels like Clayton is getting squeezed and Marquis is getting everything close
@ FB...I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that.
I don't like how Kerhsaw's been human lately =/.
A perfect game guys!!! Look!
AG end this shit.
Fuck,
that was tattooed
@ Paul...Yeah, Marquis pitching the perfecto and now he thinks he's going to get a hit.
Fool.
yikes, our schedule the rest of the month is brutal. The Padres are under .500, Philly is a game under but the rest are way over: Braves +17, DBacks +8, Pirates +10(!), Yankees +9, Gnats +3 (but are a pain in the ass).
Is there any way we can figure out how to play .500 for the rest of the month?
Kershaw is having control problems but still has struck out six.
ugh
figure it out, Clayton
maybe one more inning for Clayton
Agreed FB.
time for me to bow out so we can start hitting
gnite all
Yay no more perfect game!
Night FB. Come on offense!
Van Slyke's stance is remarkably similar to that of the guy on 'Bases Loaded', the old NES game.
I miss that game.
Okay let's get a cheap run here.
We have a rally going, dudes and dudettes!!
Jackass fan interfered with the ball. Cost us a run.
Never mind, it was foul.
No just a foul.
Vinny had me confused.
Crap I'm getting annoyed again.
Yeah, nothing is breaking our way tonight.
KERSHAW ANGRY.
Really impressed by FedEx's blocking skills.
Fuck this ump.
100
Wow, Clayton's out of sorts.
Could we get a better replay? I thought Uribe tagged him too.
Thanks for letting the kid overpitch his way to 120, Donny. Fuck. He's turning into Dusty Baker light.
I thought Uribe got him too...but he didn't argue.
Slick move with the jacket, ballboy!
Yeah, not digging these high pitch coutns. WTF Donnie.
Next pitch is #120.
Might as well go out in style!
KKKKKKKKK
Diving catch by Blanks. BABIP gods really hate us.
Remember:
Drink lots of malt liquor when grilling outside in 110 degree weather.
(faints)
Just when was the last no-hitter pitched at DS?
Puig looks off balance.
Nice!!
...and no soup for you, shiteater's teammate!!
SKIPPY!!!!
Well, at least that takes care of the no-hitter.
YESSSSS. BRING HIM HOME ADRIAN
Time to smack a long one, Agon.
I like it!
JERKO!
Tie it up Handley.
u.g.l.y. swing
We've got a pharmaceutical salesman pitching for us now.
Times are tough.
I'm a salesperson. Maybe I can pitch.
I bet you could pitch,Karen.And you'd be tougher than these punk asses.
@Karen: Denny Martinez?
SVS!
SVS!
Good job Slick!
I am impressed, Scott Van Slyke.
Beli up in the bullpen. Gatorade coolers quaking in the dugout.
@ Orel...I'm quaking as well.
I know. What's the point of getting the lead here if Beli's just going to barf it back up?
CAR WASH!
Well, we don't have to worry about that lead.
Beli is so hittable.
OK, Paco in.
Donnie pulls Belisario before he can do his usual amount of damage.
One strike away....
All right, here we go. Puig-Schu-AGon up next.
That sucked.
Ugh. This squeezy bastard.
How appropriate that a guy named Jerko follows a guy named Shiteater.
Two on, no out for the Pads. Game over.
This game is both tortuous and torturous.
You know things are going downhill when the plate umpire doesn't know the count.
4-2 Padres.
Not that it mattered, Karen. The bases-loading walk was inevitable.
Bases loaded again. Set up for the double play. Got 'em right where we want 'em.
5-2. Good night, all.
Wha' Happened?
goddamn.last nights game was over at 9:40. this game is in the ninth inning and it's 10:41.
HanRam double
yay
It feels like Mattingly has given up. Maybe I'm just frustrated but it feels like he just threw the towel in in the top of the 9th.
Good job, HanRam. I think you have more heart than your manager.
Ethiergh.
And we are mercifully put out of our misery.
For tonite, anyway.
He should be.
Mattingly giving his postgame presser. I think he's crying.
cry baby cry? stupid fucker why? you're older enough to know better so die baby die
No retaliation against shiteater either. Donnie you are dead to me.
Well, I am stunned. Guess I thought they could win without me. My bad
If Karen could pitch, and I'm sure she can. she would at least had the decency to throw at Quentin.
Dodgers are real tough guys. Probably do something passive aggressive like talk bad about Quinten's hair behind his back. I don't think one pitch came inside. We proved that asshole's point. Now he gets room service over the plate pitches.
@Dusty 8:06AM...You bet your sweet arse I'd throw at that asshole. Other than Clayton Kershaw, because we can't afford a suspension there, I'm ashamed of our pitching staff.
I say let karen be the SoSG softball team starting pitcher. RBNLAW can be the Brandon League of the team.
Spank...Can I throw at people?
^shit yes you can
