Cliff Lee (9-2, 2.51 ERA) vs. Hyun-Jin Ryu (6-3, 2.85)
Well, that happened. The Phillies offense ripped through a succession of Dodger pitchers like Spanky through a cooler of Steel Reserve tall boys, leaving us all hung over and asking what happened last night. But because today is another day, like an embarrassing one-night stand we take the walk of shame down to Chavez Ravine, try to clear the cobwebs, and get one back.
Dodgers have two choices: come out strong like last night never happened, or go for the hair of the dog that bit them. Cliff Lee is 7-0 with a 2.00 ERA in his last 10 starts. Ryu is winless in four starts this month. Strong chance this team hits the Bloody Marys early, starts checking Facebook to make sure no embarrassing photos from the night before were posted, and tries to figure out which bar they left their Visa card.
How can one game removed from being on a six-game win streak feel so bad? On the bright side, there's always Skip Schumaker, who was the only Dodger pitcher last night not to give up a run. Read that last sentence a few times to yourself and let it soak in.

Heading to the Yard, Vinny!
Hit a Son up if you're going to be there, too, boys and girls.

9-0 Orioles over Yankmes. What is this, last night?
When someone slaps you down, you do what Jesus said and get right back up and kick them in the ding ding.
#flamingmenudoslyrics
Jose Dominguez brought up from Triple A. Peter Moylan accepts option back to Albuquerque.
That wasn't so much a Flaming Menudo lyric as it was our "attorney's" opening defense in People vs. Jesus Colorado after that nunnery/hazing event.
Glad the Dodgers had that Moylan removed.
Heading to the Yard, Vinny!
I'll be there, Dusty, thanks to Sax. Hit me up.
After last night's debacle I want this game to start ASAP.
Moylan green. It's people!
Bring out the Moylan. The Moylan's sleeping. Well I guess you just are gonna have to go wake him up now won't you.
Capuano was signing autographs near the Field Level entrance. Wearing a big smile. Pretty cool, even if it was compulsory.
Spanky was signing autographs near a field entrance. Wearing a big smile. Pretty cool, even if the thong was compulsory.
what terrifies me is that the Phils have 35 hits in the last two games. Game 2 is what would have happened in Game 1 if they didn't hit into 17 double plays. We gotta get back to pitching better
New pre-game co-hostess. Is she new?
@Orel
She's hot.
heh heh heh
I'm ready. Bring it, Fillies.
Hillman and someone who is not Charlie Manuel bringing out the lineup cards.
Top class moment of silence for Justin Miller in the pre-game ceremony.
Don't understand. You say Ryu is winless but Dodgers have him 4-1!? Esplain pleeze.
I thought i had said winless in his last 4 starts. If a part got cut off my bad.
Just looked. I said "winless in four starts this month."
Lay off the dark room chemicals, BJ! :-)
Good morning, good afternoon, good night. Ryu!
Utley oh!
Well, that euphoria didn't last long.
*hits crack pipe again*
break out dem dark room chemicals,BJ...quick!
Can we have a 1-2-3 inning anytime soon?
let's get some runs. come on AGon
All this guy does is hit.
On the Captains chair,Vinny!
Yes i said Vinny.
(cries)
fuck yes motherfuckers.
HANRAM!!!
Oh baby.
CRUSHED! I'll take it.
Buh-bye ball! #HanRam
Boom!
siddown chooch
Mmm that wasn't a broken bat Vinny. Ryu threw the bat intact into the stands.
Giants have now lost six in a row. Life is good
It looked like a broken bat bc there was some other object that flew away from Ryu in the same direction of the bat. I'm assuming it was a bag of weed, and Ryu was too embarrassed to go claim it.
We need to put a hit on Utley.
Geez Huntley. Walk him next time
FUCK YOU UTLEY!
Last 4 starts, not overall. Ok. I get it. Sorry. Still on DTW time
We are going to need a bigger boat.
i've got a flotilla from last years vakay in my garage. will that do?
It has a better chance of not sinking than this lead.
Vinny's eye sight is going. That's why he is missing calls lately.
Cc: Spanky re: bat
I'm booking that 3runs don't win this game.
Score some runs boys.
Padres, Giants, and D'backs all lost
Come on, blue!
When The Levee Breaks!! Van Slyke is my hero.
#FuckRap #WalkUpSong
I guess the Dodgers don't have a medical plan. we need to do a fundraiser to get Vinny some glasses.
I took my Chevy to the levee.
RANCHING ARDUBRCI
bases are juiced for Ajellis
Great at bat for SVS. Worked an 0-2 count for a walk.
conflicting edit. Is this the assassins circle?
My walk up song would be earache my eye.
Come on Uribe the Hutt!
Alice Bowie
Brutal. We are in trouble.
Bases loaded, no one out: can't score.
Way to go, McGwire!
Hey! Lets leave men on base cuz we know we can be successful at that!
Dear AJ Ellis
You are not doing well now
Sax
I smell a bullpen implosion if we don't get a bigger lead.
every time Vinny says "Revere" I think of the Beastie Boys.
Nice job ReeeeeU.
But AJ Ellis walks a lot!!! Whatever, he has sucked.
Just hung with Dusty. Can confirm he is a gentleman among gentleman. Because he bought me a Stone IPA.
Bring in League!
here comes Bellisario to the non rescue.
They don't call Orel that for nothin'.
RA for rueeeze
Donnie using his managerial skills.
*cries*
DS DJ playing Living Colour!
*shits pants*
Well lets get at least a run
Cameraman just went Top Deck for Dance Cam. Strong move.
@Orel were they doing the Wang Chung?
3 more outs. here we go kiddies.
Orel called that we'd lose this. Let's see if he's right.
ah shit. get yr head in the game pweeeg.
Fire on the mountain run boys run.
fucking shit stupid motherfuckers
CHRIST
Looks like Orel may once again be correct.
too little to late for that strike out.
This is what happens when you have bases loaded no outs and can't score one fuckin run.
Hanley's great.
Kemp is snot.
it was kind of low but still you gotta swing at that shit.
Arguable, yes, but STFU Kemp. You just flailed at two before that.
Come on Dre.
No words.
safe!
Hanley was the champ in this one. he was in on all the runs.
We got tonight! Who needs tomorrow.
You better hug AJ, Puig. He saved you!
yee haw
Walk off party!!!
Well that dis not suck.
I think Puig has saved AJ more times.
Hanley is flaming menudo hot.
What did Puig do?
puig let a ball go by him in the 9th that alowwed the runner an extra base who eventually scored the tying run.
I <3 Ellis.
We make almost out of last place party!
*streaks*
HYMFPGTUP!
@Dusty: I just updated the post to include the link to the photographer.
I think it's hilarious that this "walk of shame" picture is from the Penn State University "life and style" magazine.
