Game 72 Thread: June 21 @ Padres, 7p



Clayton Kershaw (5-4, 1.84) vs. Clayton Richard (2-5, 7.01)

It's raining Claytons! (Or there are just two, I dunno.) Kershaw, while seeming a tad more human over his last few starts, is still one of the few bright spots of this funeral dirge of a season. He'll probably throw 270 pitches, just to spare us the pain of seeing the bullpen again.

Let's get this one. The division is still within striking distance, at least according to some thinking-out-loud I was doing earlier today.

Just don't clay down and die.

UPDATE 4:51p (Sax): AC and I will be at the game tonight!

Yep. That sure is a lineup.

Paul said...

Lets start a winning streak

Fred's Brim said...

I may be crazy and a little drunk, but I am completely open to starting a one-game winning streak tonight. Whaddaya say? Can I talk you into it?

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

@Fred that's crazy drunk talk

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

What happened to our $60M outfield?

Paul said...

From hanging out in Manhattan at the start of the week to picking and shucking corn in the Central Valley at the end of it. At either end my baseball team is not a good one. So
much for my pathetic attempt to disrupt the cosmos.

Paul said...

James Loney pulled his average back up to .300 but he is looking more like James Loney.

BJ Killeen said...

The Killeens are Kontemplating a Karavan to San Diego Sunday.

Paul said...

Maybe we can keep the errors to under 2 tonight.

Steve Sax said...

AC and I are at the game! Third base side, field level. Look for us!

Sitting around MANY Dodgers fans

Steve Sax said...

So much for Clayton Richard

Steve Sax said...

Two pitches in...it's Tim Stauffer!

Orel said...

So we knocked Richard out after two pitches?

Hideo Nomo said...

THANKS FOR RUINING MY GAME THREAD.

Orel said...

Why throw Puig a fastball? I think every pitcher thinks he can be the guy to blow him away.

BJ Killeen said...

@Sax: good seats? We're shopping for Sunday tickets

Cliff Beefpile said...

I see FB has been pre-gaming. :)

Steve Sax said...

And all we can score, after all that, is one.

Steve Sax said...

@BJ: 10th row back. And I got 7 of 'em!

Paul said...

It has been too long since we have been in a brawl.

Paul said...

That lead was fun.

Steve Sax said...

My god we are snakebit

We are haunted by Frank mcCourt

BJ Killeen said...

@Sax: I'll record it

Paul said...

The curse of Steve Sax.

Paul said...

@Sax

I think I saw you. Did you dye your hair blonde and get a few nose rings?

Orel said...

Vin with the Toulouse-Lautrec reference!

Orel said...

Vin's right. AGon's cooling off considerably.

BJ Killeen said...

I'm fading. Dodgers are dull, and Detroit time is still in my system.

Orel said...

Elian Scissorhands

Orel said...

We'll wake you up if something interesting happens, BJ.

Orel said...

Clayton is disappointingly human again. 3-1 Padres.

Paul said...

Game. Blouses.

Orel said...

Jesus, our defense is just the worst. Herrera error, Schu gets a terrible jump. Padres have scored three runs in this inning alone.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Meanwhile, UCLA is blowing it over on ESPN. Shit.

Orel said...

Vin feels really bad for not knowing Sunday's starter.

Orel said...

Way to hustle, Adrian. Puig turns that into a double.

rbnlaw said...

I really am trying to keep a positive attitude about this season, but this team, minus Puig, makes that impossible.

Paul said...

Uribe the legend.

Paul said...

Fuck AJ.

Paul said...

Swing on the first pitch Skip. Real smart.

Steve Sax said...

Dear Skip Schumaker, Mark McGwire, and all you impotent Dodgers:

Wake. The fuck. Up.

Steve Sax said...

Skip Schumaker needs Tommy to scribble on his balls

Orel said...

We should just forfeit right now. Save up energy for tomorrow.

Steve Sax said...

Why is Skip Schumaker batting for Ethier

Steve Sax said...

Brandon league, finding new ways to suck

Orel said...

Jesus, League. Can't pitch, can't catch.

Steve Sax said...

Ethier and League, Colletti's finest recent contracts

BJ Killeen said...

Two of my tweets favored on the #LADvsSD Twitter by the Dodgers! Only baseball highlight of my night

Steve Sax said...

Everybody Hits League

Steve Sax said...

My god this is depressing. I'm being mocked by padres fans.

And they're right. We are horrible.

Orel said...

Holy shit Puig is fast. 5-2 Pads.

Orel said...

Good job, BJK!

Orel said...

PGTUP, who cares
