Clayton Kershaw (10-6, 1.87) vs. Joe Kelly (2-3, 3.10).
Kershaw! Kelly! Wait a second, I think we've done this already.
The reigning NL Pitcher of the Month has the lowest ERA in the majors, and is coming off of six days rest. Kelly is no slouch however, with a 1.49 ERA since June 1, the lowest in the majors (40+ IP). The Dodgers are two games away from the all-time road winning streak record, 17 games, held by the 1984 Tigers and some other team. I'm wrestling with the thought, but I've got this sinking feeling we are going to kiss our road streak goodbye today. (And it won't be Kershaw's fault.)

Gotta keep pitching
We can't lose if they can't score
unless we can't score either
hmm
Gotta keep swelling.
I can't imagine liking a second NL team. I like the Twins and the A's, maybe Baltimore too, but there really isn't an NL team that I even remotely like.
A wrestling-themed GT...FROM SAX?
I just dropped my monocle.
Kid K getting ready to kick some Cardinal ass.
Ah, the mighty Mississippi. Doing its best impression of the Willy Wonka Chocolate River since...forever.
Lilly deal has fallen through as the Gnats apparently decided to, I don't know, review his recent medical records.
Game starts exactly the same way it did yesterday. Damn you, MEllis.

Oh man Nelly is on the St. Louis telecast. The announcer is trying to convice us that he is a life long fan.
I'd love to see a trend of the gnats picking up Dodger re-treads and having them blow up in their face. Guillermo Mota was a good start.
IIRC, Nelly has repped the city of St. Louis in his songs and such. He may or may not be a big baseball fan, but he's probably been casual (or better) Cardinals fan for most of his life, in the same way famous people from LA like the Dodgers even if they're not hardcore.
I meant the announce was trying to convince us he was a Nelly fan.

Oh okay nevermind then.
"How often do you see a guy make a nice defensive play and then bat second in the inning?"
Um, a lot of times, Eric Collins?
That looked like a strike.
Nice double play.
Where's Charley tonight? Not on radio...
Every time Collins says something about Cosmo, I think about Kramer.
What a catch!!
Missing the game: working. :-(
This game is pissing me off. How many white guys are allowed on one team, Shards?
épale everyone!
need a place to vent: CBS SUCKS!
I don't know if I should say this but League is beginning to intrigue me.
Gotta go knock on wood now.
Epale, Sis!!
hi sexy sis!
Not finding League so intriguing anymore. =(
ugh
The League "magic" totally on display tonite.
The Brandon League Tour of Bullshit continues.
Enjoy that $30 million, League. You sure haven't fucking earned it.
so much for the confidence in League
I am sure he thought "I pitch better in mop-up situations. Let me make one real quick"
well, do not be so pessimistic, maybe sucky League is an event. not a trend
I should have known it would be League that would kill our road streak.
He needs to go the way of Jonathon Schmidt, Andruw Jones, etc...
League sucking has been a long series of events, punctuated only infrequently by moments of adequacy
and I still think he can be good for us, it's just frustrating to see him stink again after being halfway decent for a couple of weeks
and I don't blame him for the loss. Four double plays don't help anything
goodnight everyone. Let's start another streak tomorrow
