Clayton Kershaw (10-7, 1.91) vs. Jeremy Hellickson (10-5, 4.77).
Down 6-0 in the first game of this series with the red-hot Tampa Bay devil-less Rays, I thought this was going to be a rough weekend. But after a magnificent comeback victory Friday, and a big shutout win yesterday, I'm trying to prepare for today's End of Rays.
ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball will feature our *still unsigned* ace, Clayton Kershaw, whose 1.91 ERA leads the majors. Hellickson isn't bad, though this 4.77 ERA is about a run and a quarter north of his lifetime average, making this the worst ERA+ (81) of his four-year career.
Oh, and this afternoon marks the last game for James Loney at Dodger Stadium, possibly forever. Loney has a OPS of .807 this season, better any of the last four and a half years of his Dodger career. I always liked Loney as a Dodger (an early SoSG favorite), but he definitely disappointed after showing flashes of brilliance in his first two Dodger seasons. He never seemed to hit consistently after those years. So it's with mixed feelings that I look at his 10 HR and offensive resurgence this season, his first as a Ray. Loney, no more.
Godspeed, James!

@dusty. Well at least Brian Cranston is a dodger fan!
That's a huge plus, AC!
Uribe with a two-out single
Dee Gordon can't GIDP here
(Old James Loney joke)
In play, no out? What?????
@Dodgers
With that base hit by Juan Uribe, everyone in the #Dodgers lineup has a hit tonight.
Kershaw up with two on and two out
Dee and James having a nice conversation at first
Oh well
I think MLB should make a PED exception for Dee so he can bulk up to 145.
oh man, Clayton almost had a double there
@FB 7:27p: "Dee, which one of us has less power?"
@BJ: the sad thing is, Dee *IS* on PEDs. He normally weighs 84 pounds.
Glad this is an early night. Can't do another 2 am game
@Sax. Rofl. Btw. Can't get past 391
"Well, Free James, I think it's me, mainly because I weigh less than a regulation bat. Trey Hillman uses me as a fungo bat before the game"
GIDP time
Hurry up, lads. We're ready for a sushi run.
pleasepleaseplease
balls
CK getting tired
"I think it's me, mainly because I weigh less than a regulation bat"
That's rich, FB. You're hitting on all cylinders.
Fuck! Get him outta here
@BJ: yeah I'm stuck on 391 as well. Web says its a scoring bug (as it awems impossible to attain the scoring goal. I'm not boosting or transferring to Facebook to complete the level. If they want to screw up the game here, I'm done with the game.
Three fucking errors for DG. Un.Fucking. Acceptable.
Why don't you start a Candy Crush blog, Sax?
Dee Gordon sucks defensively and he can't hit. Why are we resting Punto or skippy or anyone else?
Beli up to the bar
Clayton's gonna snap Dee in half after the game
I didn't hear that sax. I can't stop. It's heroin
damn, I though that was way gone
great recovery, Clayton
Fuckin A, Dee. That is some shit-ass shit there.
Deegusting. Deestructive. Hideeous.
4 errors, not cool, dudes
I should be really happy now but instead I want to break DG in half over my knee.
Marmol? Donnie you suck as bad as your SS
Say, what's the SOSG record for GT comments?
It's shit shit. This shit isn't worth shit
@BJ
We have gotten into the 500s easily back in the day (e.g., pre-McCourt).
Tonight we're missing Spank, RBN, Neeebs, Karen, Orel, Mr.F, etc. #WhereMyDawgsAt
Think if i ask Donnie if I could pitch he'd put me in?
Marmol? Please tell me that's a typo
these umps want to go home
BJ: I forget the record, but I think we broke 1000 during the game that Michael Jackson died during.
I have been banished from my living room for an old Amanda Bynes movie. Sigh.
and Paully, but he may be at the game
All drunk.
Marmoooooooolllllll time!
I just had a creeped-out shudder thinking about an old Amanda Bynes
Cmon, 'los, we want a clean inning
1down!
763 comments. Not sure if this is the record or not. I thought we topped this during a playoff game once.
Wow, that GT references Chad Billingsley.
I forgot all about that guy.
2 down!
Finish this, Carlos!
Marmot with a second out. This is indeed ridiculous.
So weird. I thought we had a 1000+ thread.
I apologize for missing my man Paulie.
Finish this, Carlos "Danger" Marmol!
Come on, Charlie Marble! Get these guys out.
Ok Donnie even if marmol get s him out here let's not fall in love with him. Track record donnie
