Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Clayton Kershaw (5-5, 2.06) vs. Tim Lincecum (4-7, 4.52).
So this happened last night:
Remember when the Kershaw-Lincecum rivalry was going to be one for the ages? Well, Kershaw kept up his end of the bargain and is in position to help the Dodgers sweep the Giants tonight.
Meanwhile, everybody from the projected opening day lineup is back, sans Carl Crawford, so let's enjoy the maximum firepower until the next injury occurs.
4/3 vs. SF (W, 5-4): Sax
4/15 vs. WSH (L, 4-6): Dusty, Orel, Sax
5/6 vs. MIA (W, 6-3): AC, Sax
5/16 vs. CIN (L, 2-7): AC, Sax
6/12 vs. TEX (L, 2-3): Sax
7/5 vs. MIL (W, 8-5): Sax
7/21 vs. BOS (W, 9-6): Sax
7/24 vs. SF (L, 3-8): Sax
8/24 vs. TB (L, 8-9 (10)): Sax
8/29 vs. BAL (W, 6-3): Orel, Sax
9/9 vs. CHC (L, 4-10): Sax

Dylan Hernandez @dylanohernandez 55s
Don Mattingly confirmed this was a scheduled day off for Kemp.
Dylan Hernandez @dylanohernandez 1m
Matt Kemp said there is nothing wrong with him physically.
Nomo - can you send Donnie a flowchart on giving star players scheduled days off... after they've just returned from a month off
DAMMIT
Is Matt Kemp in the dugout? > Yes > Are all his limbs attached? > Yes > Play him.
My daughter sees Fat Panda on TV last night and asks, is that the guy who likes cake?"
I didn't know what she she was talking about, then she reminded me of the baserunning gif.
Kids these days are lucky. They get to grow up with Vinny and SoSG.
That's an AWESOME story, DBT!
God forbid we should have all the A players in the game at the same time. Let's finish off this crappy team and the head freak.
It's Lincecum. We got this*.

Dodger Nation: 4 in a row for our @Dodgers after last night's win! Let's make it 5 in a row tonight!
Dodger Nation: Is this ziti? Whatever it is, it's delicious! I'll ask Tommy Lasordo when I get back from #Portofino!

Gotta love the financial advice #GoldmanSachs Private Wealth Management gives! Never knew I could tax deduct the fuel expense on my NetJets! Buying the large beer at the game tonight!

45 mins to game time!
After nearly blowing a three-run lead Tuesday night, Brandon League now will be used exclusively in "less stressful," situations, manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday. Until pitching coach Rick Honeycutt and bullpen coach Chuck Crim can help "piece him back together," Mattingly said he doesn't anticipate using League in one of the last three innings when the Dodgers have a narrow lead.

Even though I'm in Italy, I'm looking forward to the Dodgers lighting up Lincecum tonight.
@djshort: Don Mattingly says Brandon League will be used in "less stressful" situations, which I can only assume means not in baseball games.
DBacks lost.

Eating caviar with my buddy, the pretender to the crown of #AlsaceLorraine! We're about to go #Fabergé egg shopping, but first I wanted to say go #Dodgers!

Lincecum still throws 93?
Puig!!
Puig doubles, takes third on AGon's deep fly ball. Doesn't even slide.
Dodgers strand two in the 1st. Great job, guys.
Grow yer hair, Timmeh!
We're getting hits off Timmeh. We just need to score runs, damnit.
Clayton grounded out so he could clear himself
Anybody else terrified that his consistent hustling down the line will eventually turn into a popped hammy?
Can we give a Performance Shirt to League?
Did Crawford cut his hair or does he have it in a bun tonight?
@FB
After what's gone down this season, I'm afraid of any of them popping a hammy just walking out of the dugout. Well, maybe not League or Bellisario.
@Cliff - why do injuries only happen to key players? They never seem to happen to the bums
Attaboy, Hanley
Hey look, a run!
he threw that pitch three straight times, Dre swung at all of them.
Maybe Dre is setting up for a walk later in the game
Fuckin' Poser.
@Fred's Brim the optimistic me says that Dre is just studying Lincecum
*hides*
I blame Steiner he just said the Giants hadn't had a lead in 30 Innings
cripes
i am still so tired of that cnut
definitely Charlie's fault
We'll get it back.
I hate Boyster Pubes.
Now Pubes has a good pic for the embarrassing baseball card
I take it back.
Uribe you still suck
I' hope Kershaw doesn't give up any more runs. We looks a bit like ourselves tonight.
Bad play by Puig. Even Vin said so.
Oy, Puig. What the hell.
This is turning annoying
Win it without me, yall
Hanley singles and steals second! Can't wait to see how we strand him.
A steal? Huzzah!
Giants have to be happy Lincecum has pitched at least into the 6th.
Andre RBI ties it up! TRADE HIM NOW
Tied up, bishes!
Now Dre steals a base. Things be odd.
That's a dirty Sanchez behind the plate.
Damn, Ethier. Any kind of a decent throw and he's out by a mile.
AJEllis!
Fuck yeah!
Ajellis with the go-ahead RBI! TRADE HIM NOW
Trade rumors regarding AJ?
I wanna see the gnats crying tonight!
Two hits for the player formerly known as urine.
Don't hit a weak dribbler Skip.
Sanchez not good.
This non-Posey catcher is paying of nicely for the Dodgers.
Timmah!
The best thing about this game is we know League will be nowhere near the mound.
@Paul: No trade rumors re: A.J. I was just riffing off the trade rumors re: Andre.
Amen, BJK.
FB is in for a surprise. Unless we choke.
Love that Ray Charles song.
Come on, Phillies!
Dre for AJ Ellis trade! You heard it first on SOSG.
That's the kind of insider info we've all come to expect from SOSG. Fuck you, ESPN!
My Girl?
Hit the Road, Jack
Nice inning Clay!
3 for 4. Yeah not an All Star.
Not able to catch this on TV. Did Vin still have real difficulty saying "Mijares"? He kept saying "Mujares" last night. Normally, he corrects himself, but he kept doing it. I thought his notes might have been wrong.
"Sandy Rosario" sounds like a Filipina aunt's name.
I don't like Dre's chances.
*hits the bong then the road*
Yeah, Vin seems keen on saying Mijares like Mujares.
Now that we've come to the end of the bong load ... Still I can't let go.
Dre: "Well, this works for Yasiel!" *closes eyes, swings at first pitch*
Uribe never struggles at the plate Vinny.
Now Vin's saying Yas-E-L.
YasE.L. Doctorow
Quiroz will be Quiroz
Clayton gets through eight innings using 97 pitches.
Kid K seems to be pitching well from a Gameday point of view.
: (
Yay! Dunning's back!
Nice! Phillies just tied it up.
Crawford is usually pretty slick defensively. Nice slide at first by A.J.
I'm already stressed for the 9th
Dammit Uribe. Your Giant days are over.
Phuckin' Phillies! Tied it up in the 8th!
Posey is the tying run. Get go 'em, Clayton.
Donnie with the hook.
Time for Mattingly to bring in League
*Stands and applauds Kershaw*
PHI 5, SD 5, top 9
Jansen in to face Pubes, none out and man on first.
2-0 count to Pubes
it is never easy, right? we must suffer
ARGH!
Big K for Kenley, Pence chased a high one. One out.
One down.
Siddown, Underpantses!
Pence swings at a neck-high fastball for out number one.
Jansen: 6 BB, 57 Ks in 2013
double play is coming
Come on, Kenley
Is that good?
Tensest game of the year?
i don't like the feel of this
Pablo is fast for a fattie.
Sheezus. This at-bat has gone on forever.
Panda K. Wow.
One more!
Two out. Still tense.
Sandoval's gonna go drown his sorrows in some cheesecake.
SWEEP!
And the Dodgers WIN!
We make streaking party!!!
YES!!!!
First sweep of the Giants at Dodger Stadium since 2009.
WooHoo!!
Within 6. Go Phils! Tonight anyways.

Sweep that pile under the rug!!!!!
This feels good!
