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 (7-5, 1.93) vs. Chad Gaudin (2-1, 2.60).
What, no Timmy? We were hoping for another classic Kershaw-Lincecum matchup, especially since their last meeting went so well. Instead we get spot-starter Gaudin against a Dodgers team that better damn well be ready to make up for yesterday's sloppy play with sparkling defense and laser-like hitting.
Oh, and while we're at it: VOTE PUIG!

Let's do it!
We can have lights out pitching and everyone hitting, but if they can't catch the fucking ball, what's the use? Really, 65 NL-leading errors for this team. Pathetic.
I'm just bitter cuz I picked up Fife in one of my fantasy teams. He (I) should've gotten a "W" last night. And, we lost to the Gnats.
Focus that bitterness, DBT! Feel the hate.
Come on Dodgers, beat the smugness out of these jerks.
Molluscs pubes always looks constipated.
Fife keeps his spot, Crap to bullpen.
No Kemp today, but Mattingly says he'll be ready tomorrow.
(multiple sources)
We've gone from an Ellis-less lineup to a Ellis & Ellis real estate lineup. Funny.
"EEK" spelled by the last three players.
I've have a good feeling about today. I don't like it.
Nats over Pod Rays 7-1 early.
So Crapuano to the pen. Does it have to be OUR bullpen?
Yankees are on a roll. That's annoying. I feel better
Cap joins Brandon in the never a good time to pitch spot. One more and we have the reverse nasty boys.
At my cantina, Vinny!
on the couch, Vinny!
Whose couch, FB?
the one soaked with my ass sweat
Scutaro deserves to make the All-Star Game for fielding that grounder.
Puig's shoulder is still hurt, isn't it?
@Orel - you could just feel the grit
Five straight Ks for Puig.
yeesh, everyone except Puig saw that coming
gift strike 1
call those both way, blue
ways
Everything's turning up Giants!
damn
i hope our luck isn't drying up
K
Just saw that comment above...I thought same thing - one of those strikes wasn't a strike vs Puig.
With that single, Scutaro just became an All-Star starter.
Kershaw should have hit Scutaro in the face. That way he wouldn't have gotten that hit.
^ You just don't get this kind of expert commentary on other blogs.
Great story Vin!
To the second, no score
good job, Clayton
defense, tighten it up
Hanley trippple!
How did Pence not magically catch that with a tractor beam in his glove?
Hanley!
There's your run, Clayton.
Nice! Lets go Uribe!
attaboy, Dre!
Lets get something big going, Uribe!
Great play by Scutaro. He's now set to manage the NL All-Star team.
yikes
i hate when we give away baserunners like that
You can't have a hit and run play without, well, the hit part of it.
heh heh "gobbling it up is Uribe"
great inning, Clayton
This will end up what, 2-1 Dodgers or 3-2 Dodgers?
"Lets get something big going, Uribe!" - Dusty
It's like some kind of bizarro world! :)
i will definitely take either of those results
it's OK to take a walk, Crawdaddy
Gaudin's a reliever, they'll figure him out. I predict 5-2, because the bullpen will give up a run.
I've got something big going.
cc: Neeebs' mom
Damn, Vin is on fire today.
Another great story Vinny. I missed you yesterday.
yuck - cut the sloppy shit
Scutaro's gonna hit a homer today, just to make me mad
throw strikes, Clayton
the butterfly effect, but with Scutaro's face
@FB
And there's the PGT theme.
Vin a such a pro
I would have goofed up "Displicablimp" 10 times before I figured it out
Attaboy, Yas
WNt to the pisser. How did Puig get on first?
woah that was close
@DB Puig hit the first pitch on a line to center
GOD DAMN he hammered that! just foul
"Shirt-sleeved"!
hehe i liked that too
Gaudin keeps coming inside on hanley
Vin has said "rhubarb" multiple times today.
cant throw to a fielder not on a base?
That fell apart quickly.
dumb
Not sure why Puig would be running there
Hanley looks like he wanted to give up that AB on purpose, to tell Puig to stop stealing his rbi
What a fucking terrible inning. What are we doing out there? That was a manager issue. Fucking fuckig fuck.
here comes a shitty 3-run inning for the Giants
@Sax
I thought same thing. We must be, like, brothers or something.
Davey giving it (via translator) to Yasiel re: the stupid SB attempt. Love it.
Bill Plunkett @billplunkettocr 5m
Rough inning for umps at AT&T Park. They just missed a balk - Gaudin threw pickoff to Scutaro who was nowhere near 2B, never moved toward it
Getting reamed out.
David Vassegh @THEREAL_DV 1m
Not sure what Puig was doing in dugout, but he wasn't in RF when Pablo Sandoval was announced. He was jogging out at that point
Rockies are playing dead now but will probably revive themselves next weekend
good job, fellas
Ethier is back to pissing me off.
Cy Gaudin
not a strike, blue
I lost that loving feeling.
I know that losing feeling.
What a play by Uribe!
wow - nice work, Uribe!
"So we have five innings in the books and it's a best seller." —Vin
Score some runs for the Kid!!!!
nice inning, Clayton
Can you vote as many times as you want for Puig?
I ask because I haven't hit a limit just yet.
Fuck you, Gauguin! Post-impressionism sucks!
So, ankle-height qualifies as a strike now, ump?
that's low, blue
Walk a pitcher with a .000 average to lead off the inning. Nothing to see here.
throw strikes, Clayton!
Still haven't hit the limit.
no fucking excuse for that
UJTD!
This Running with friends thing is strangely compelling.
You're lucky Kershaw. Let's heat up these bats...
This smells suspiciously like a Giants walk-off.
meek
Hanley with the meaningless double.
What the hell is running with friends?
What the hell is running?
What the hell are friends?
Come on, Uribe! You're our only hope.
Well played as always, mr. f.
We are offically back to sucking.
Damn. I guess I'll just keep voting for Puig.
Truly suckilicious.
I guess we're back to calling him Urine...
Cmon, Clayton, another good inning please
I'm going to keep voting for Kang.
YAY!! The Kid nails posey!!
Oh for crap's sake, Colorado.
How does Posey not score on that double? Lucky break.
Okay Dodgers offense active now!
AJ really made him work for that first out, however
That was a good 2 inches off the ground, surprised the ump didn't call it a strike.
Crawford has been useless in his return.
I've got a bad feeling about this
Puig with a sweeeeeeeet catch in right
Great catch by Puig!
Puig is...Superman!
Quick work for Clayton in the eighth!
Uribe gobbles it up like so much meatloaf! Quick inning for The Kid.
Wait, I need to go buy some apple items. Gotta go.
Puig's lost his mojo...
Goddammit, BEAT ROMO!
Puig with a lead off single. This gives us a couple of pitches before he is thrown out CS at third base.
That's our Puig!
Fuck yeah! SCORE THEM!
No, he found it! LOL
Beat Frisco! Beat Frisco! Beat Frisco!
HanRAM!!!! WE need YOU now!
Oh gawd, it's up to Uribe.
Fly Ball Uribe.
Fuckin Urine.
Fuck you, Uribe.
Come on AJ. You can do this.
AJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ
AJELLIS! YESSSSSSS!
ELLLLIIIIIISssssss!!!!
Lo siento fucker.
THANK YOU AJ!!
A.J.'s all calm on second, like "ain't no thing."
AJELLIS!
AJ knocks the fuckwad outta the game. How very sweet!
I'm making a rare appearance to say...OH HELL YEAH!
Wait we lifted Clayton? WHY?
A.J. knocks Wicks into the GT!
Hold them, Hold them, Hold them
Yeah. I'd let him try to close it out.
100 pitches, struggled a bit in the 8th.
Siddown, "All-Star"!
Why Jansen and not League?
(ducks)
Always nervous when the ball is hit to Hanley.
I leave to get more beer and they finally score. I call that a win-win.
Now the ump tightens up his strikezone?
Hit Posey again.
Well, ya can't hit today, Urine but at least you can still field
Fuckin' Ethier.
Hold the ball, Andre
Come on Dre!
That better not cost us, Andre.
Please help us, Lord
Lord Vader, that is...
Use the force, KJ
Great job, Kenley!
WOOOOOHOOOOOHOOOOO
Win. loveLoveLOVE!
Second place party!!
WHOOOO! Victory!
That's what I like to see!!!
Down goes SF.
2nd place....looking good!
Knocking Romo out of the game and sending the gnats to 6.5 back make this win really sweet.

Party makin.
So glad we did it against romo.
Henry Schulman @hankschulman 4m
Clubhouse mostly empty, save for Romo with head buried in his locker. #sfgiants
LOLOLOLOLOL
@AC...Great catch last night on romo tossing the ICU at HanRam.
They showed it on the stupid channel and then had the balls to say Puig was talking too much.
Thanks Karen. I almost wish HanRam delivered the knock out blow though.
Oh and 200!
