Zack Greinke (8-3, 3.49) vs. Andy Pettitte (7-8, 4.39).
DEREK JETER (& the Yankees) are in town! DEREK JETER (& the Yankees) are in town! Although they're in fourth place in their division, DEREK JETER (& the Yankees) don't figure to roll over for the Dodgers. Newly (re)acquired Alfonso Soriano adds some punch, and there's always the estimable Mariano Rivera to contend with.
After an unsatisfying two-game split in New York last month, let's see if the red-hot Dodgers can win a series against DEREK JETER (& the Yankees). "A special ceremonial first pitch is planned," according to the Dodgers...wonder if they're going to ask DEREK JETER to do the honors?

Man, I really want to go watch Kershaw vs. Kuroda tomorrow but I have stuff to do and tickets are 'spensive and bleh.
Jetah!
Too bad A-Roid isn't here to see us kick some Yankee butt
Gotta keep pitching
DodgerzGM @DodgerzGM 41s
I acquired Carlos Marmol. I signed Brian Wilson. Still think this is a parody account?
Who's playing SS for the Yankees?
Giants down

Yank this.
I'm going tomorrow, the catirrucio acted like the best catirrucio EVAH and bought me a ticket :)
Épale everyone!
Epale, karina
Does anyone have a link for Ned's statement on the Wilson contract?
Epale Karina!!
Feelin' the yankme Hate in my house!!
I HATE all of you yankee fans trying to represent in OUR yard.
@karen sistah! not all Yankees fans are lame!
COSA MÁS GRANDE CABALLERO!
So close for Puig!
Karina, my Sistah, it's so good to talk to you! I can't embrace the yankee fan. My Brooklyn blood runs to deep.
Hanley drives in Puig! 1-0 Dodgers.
Btw...Puig hit the first pitch off the top of the center field wall for a double, then took third on a fly ball to right.
Épale, Karina and everybody! Except you, Lyle Overbay!
Red Sox get Peavy...leaving Cliff Lee for us.
Holy crap Uribe just smoked that!
Uribe power!
What a shot by the big oso!
You can't stop that hitting machine.
Zack outruns one of Jeter's signature running throws!
Juan Uribe: (surprisingly) Good at Baseball.
I saw you air-quotes around that "running" throw comment from here, O
I'm just wondering where this adequately average Uribe has been the last two years.
baseball been bery bery good to me.
Shhhhhhh! Jeter is up!
PJ: Uribe hired Coco Loco as his life coach this year. You didnt hear?
Anyone know what the Dodgers gave Rivera? A Kardashian?
Curious that Vin is discussing the race of Jeter's parents.
I think that's Coco Loco's slogan. "I'll make your life adequately average".
It was vintage Jeter, Stubbs!
Siddown, Caneau!
missed you guys
45
We've missed you!
Aw, Karina! Sounds like you've been busy. Glad to hear you're going to tomorrow's game.
Damn I thought that had a shot.
*sniff*
It's like a family reunion with more drunks (and that's saying something!)
Stubbs and Karina both posting in a GT? Whoa...seems like 2010 again.
Hanley continues to be just...unconscious.
Stubbs is sniffing things. It is like old times!
Damn you!
@Orel yeah, it's crazy around here...
Gunned down by Ichiro. Guess it was inevitable.
Long day today. I swear I remember us picking up Brian Wilson. Tell me I'm wrong.
@Stubbs more drunks, the merrier, as long as they are not the "touchy" ones (ewwww)
Hope that doesn't come back to bite us.
…I meant the play at the plate, not the touchy drunks.
Though some of those can get a little snappy, too.
I thought I saw Magic Johnson at a Zimbabwean opposition rally. I quickly knew I needed a drink.
Hey, take it easy on us touchy drunks!
I only get touchy if I get free drinks out of it.
It's weird that they let Jeter pitch to himself.
@Orel all right, but do not go near me :)
good luck tonight, drunky fellas and ladies. Get us a win
Me: Can you believe we signed Brian Wilson?
Mrs Dusty: No, I hate him.
Mrs. Dusty, bringing the hateHateHATE.
How come no one makes a bigger deal about what a first-pitch-swinger Dre is?
Deal, Karina.
MEllis hit a homer foul. Then flies out. Boo.
Nicholson is at the game wearing a Yankee hat. Tool.
@Dusty & Mrs. Dusty...You guys are right. Brian Wilson will never be a Dodger. It feels like way back when, when Juan Marichal was a Dodger for a short time. VERY yucky.
I refuse to toot for Brian Wilson
Lets score some runs.
am I hallucinating or Vinny just "let's take a look at Jeter"?
@Karina
Yes, he did. It was awkward.
I almost missed that the Gnats lost to Phiwwies tonight.
Almost.
"We told you about Derek's dad is black, and mom is white. He says people don't know if I'm white, black or Spanish. I don't really care. I like who I am, and I can relate to all people. Derek Jeter." —Vin
I'm stuck watching the YES network.
I'd toot in the general direction of Wilson.
We need a big fat inning.
Mary Hart is wearing what looks like a Dodger cheerleader sweater.
BJ, Uribe isn't due up.
She also looks to be sitting next to Kim Jong-un.
Didn't we already sort out the Jeter/race conversation about, like, 20 years ago?
Dre hit one out.
@Nomo Ethier first pitch swing and miss again.
Le sigh.
So it's gonna be one of those games.
I love all this World Series history Vin is talking about.
@karen wouldn't be wonderful to experience a Dodgers-Yankees World Series in our lifetime?
Ichiro is starting to annoy me with his sound fundamentals.
Hanley nearly tripped over himself there.
Hanley almost tripped on that play. He must be a touchy drunk.
The Red Sox have acquired Peavy in a trade.
@Karina...You are making me feel sooo old, sistah! I got to go to World Series games in 1977 and 1978 and was in the hospital having my daughter, Jennifer, during the 1981 Series when we finally won.
MEllis with a single to center. Hairston pinch hitting for Greinke.
Stop hacking at the first pitch, you dicks.
@Karen
My mom was three months pregnant with me during the '77 World Series. She waited for 3 hours in a light rain for World Series tickets because my dad was in San Diego on business. He told her not to do it, to stay home and take it easy, but she did it anyway. How could I not be a die-hard fan after that?
Stranded MEllis. Going to the 8th still tied.
Great backstory comments, Cliff and Karen!
Beli has fielded two grounders for the first two outs in the 8th.
You're too old, Jeter!
Hanley with a diving stop to throw out Jeter. Puig due up first.
@Karen that's awesome! AND NOT OLD :)
bring it on the late inning heroics!
Puig down on three pitches.
@Cliff...What a great story! My mom and dad took in several Dodger games the summer mom was pregnant with me. I feel the same way you do...How could I be anything but a Dodger girl??
AGon's walk up music is constantly stuck in my head lately. Anyone else have this problem?
*toots*
tied game. SoSG family reunion. i've made the GT just in time.
(cries)
I did not know the MLB Fan Cave was a elimination proposition.
@Q7: Yes! It's an earworm for sure.
@Orel
I thought the same thing. I thought they just had a bunch of fans from various teams.
I was wondering why the Dodger rep was out of NY now.
Cano? Ca-yes! Siddown, Ruben!
Soriano down as well.
We gotta win this thing after keeping Jeter, Cano, Soriano, etc. quiet all night.
@Nomo I knew if I said fat someone would make a urine joke. Thanks for not disappointing me. Lol
I'd be writing more, but cc level 380 is killing me
One-out single by Andre. Time for Juan to be an ever bigger hero.
Uribe was swinging for South Pasadena with that one.
Ethier steals 2nd!
@Cliff
The breeze of his whiff on strike three can actually be felt here in Pasadena.
bring him in mehllis
Dre was dead to rights on that steal. Thank goodness for the poor throw.
Winning run on 2nd now.
Let's take this one and go home!
MELLISANDRE!
Party time!
I called it!!!!!
*Makes party*
We make party!!!
I LOVE MELLIS!
they are spoiling us!
snap!
Thanks for saving us from League
3.5 games up now.
