Hyun-Jin Ryu (1-0, 0.00) vs. Andrew Cashner (Morse code).
Welcome to Opening Day! Opening Evening, really. Actually, it's the second of three Opening events for the Dodgers. They beat the Diamondbacks what seems like years ago and April 4 brings the Dodgers' home opener, when they'll already be 5-0.
If you're a non-TWC subscriber, this evening's game is the last chance you'll get to see the Dodgers on TV until Stan Kasten blows a gasket and goes postal on DirecTV and Comcast. Unfortunately, that means no Vin unless you want to suffer dread sync issues.
Oh, and Clayton Kershaw is on the DL. Is this a referendum on Qantas' business-class seats? Start an investigation!

The roster is set: Relievers Brandon League and Jamey Wright...seriously Donnie? Are we gonna play it like this again?
Don't hate me, but we need a dress code on this team. Our guys look like bums, with shaggy hair, ugly beards...look at the Yankees...they look like ball players..
I tend to agree with you, BJ. Though I would grant a completely subjective exception. The same way Manny got a pass for his nasty-ass dreads in exchange for hitting a trillion RS in a short amount of time, I'd give a pass to Brian Wilson so he wouldn't have to shave that beard. Other than that, clean it up, lads. We a respektable team.
I'd also like an exception for Joc Pederson, because his rat tail is amazing, and I can't figure out how he traveled back to 1986 to get it.
Happy "Opening Day" All!! I am so excited for tonites game but would feel much better if Stan would start kicking some ass. Anyone's ass at this point will do, just get the tv shit DONE!
Great point, Nomo. Rat tails need to make a comeback.
And don't even call it a comeback.
I wonder if I should ask someone on Twitter what channel the game is on.
Forget Australia, this is our opener. This needs to be said:
People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. "Of course, we won't mind if you look around", you'll say. "It's only $20 per person". They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces…The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good and that could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.
-- Terence Mann (Field of Dreams)
Beautiful, Dusty.
Thank you.
Who is Ray?
Ray Yu, our starting pitcher.
Lots of Dodgers fans representing in LoCal.
DB, What do you think of Dos Equis Azul?
So how are the 2014 shadows suppose to be?
I wasn't aware it existed, Paul. What's the scoop?
A US-shaped flag. Intriguing.
It's brewed with blue agave and wheat. Pretty good summer beer.
I want to make sweet, sweet love to that beer.
FUCK
YES
I already miss Orel working for ESPN
Many years ago my dad told me about seeing a Cubby fan holding up a sign on opening day. The sign read "Wait till next year"!
Let's go boys! Beat the Pod Rays!
Where's Vinny?
Nice crowd, SD
Even the SD bench is populated with Dodgers fans.
Cashner's Jheri curl is amazing
Puig looked like a little bitch.
For my national television season debut, I choose to wear camouflage uniforms. --Padres
I got a bad feeling about Puig this year.
Well, that was a bad first inning.
@FB
Cashner before the Michael Jackson bleach process:
http://www.complex.com/style/2013/02/the-50-best-celebrity-yearbook-photos/ice-cube
I waited for months for this Drek?
@Neeebs
You had a bad feeling about him last year, too.
You're our designated Puig detractor!
@Neeebs me too. I am hoping he's not following a fast-forwarded version of Andruw Jones's career
We can only go up from here!
I want him to succeed. I just....know things.
I make dough but don't call me Doughboy
@FB. That's my reoccurring nightmare.
throw strikes, dingus
This team is 2-0?
@Neeebs, I shuddered when I heard he came to camp weighing so many more pounds than last year
I came to camp weighing more than last year, too.
I'm hoping for a great season. Holding my breath.
45
yeesh
Ryu making me very nervous.
Why did Hanley catch that??
Oh geez.
Ugh
We're in 2013 form.
All 156 Pod rays fans in Petco are excited.
I came into camp in the best shape of my life
*immediately pulls hamstring*
Get a K
Ks Headley. Nice.
Since I haven't seen Spank yet...
Headleeeey
Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 7m
Best way to describe situation with Clayton Kershaw: Uncertain. Has the same type of injury as Jurickson Profar. Return date is unknown.
Shit
Ryu's not used to the spin going the other way in the norther hemisphere
Wow. Not a close pitch out of 4 thrown
wow that was lucky in so many ways
UJTD!
I'll take it
Huge inning for the Pods!!!! #NoRuns
I'm with BJ. It's not the same without Vin.
I haven't witnessed a Dodger hit all season.
Hoping for a Jack.
Hoping for Jack Daniels.
attaboy, Youreebay
Can I get a witness?
There's your hit, Neeebs.
AGon and A.J. look thinner. Puig looks bigger.
Never thought I'd be happy that Dee was on deck.
dunker for AJ!
A line drive in the box score AJ!!
That bat died an honorable death.
I want to spell Ryu with R-B-I
yay Dee
Alas no
at least we cleared Dee
Dee Gordon, showing off that newfound +50 lb power
Shit AB, Tyrion Gordon.
HJ's not gonna make it to the 5th
You know Ryu, you don't HAVE to get into trouble before you get out of it.
I'm not going to make it to the fifth
Dee covered the bunt well
GameDay flashing some 70s era graphics with that Sac Bunt.
Almond Joy's got nuts.
MoundBall don't
way to get out of it, HJ
Everth Day it ain't.
HJ wiggles out of another one.
Breathe, breathe.
I haven't witnessed a Dodger run yet this season.
Fernando looks like he's in better shape than HJR.
get rid of that stupid strike zone box, you chumps
Both bullpens will be busy tonight.
take more pitches, YP
Puig did something routine. Celebrate!
Puig is the anti-A.J.
couple of nice plays by Uribe there
Uribe & Sons: You smack 'em, we catch 'em
Uribe showing the leather already - he's fat but money on the hot corner. Sorry I ever dissed you, Johnny Urine.
Nice D makes for 1-2-3!
attaboy, Dee!
Nice inning, HJ
Boys looking good with the leather.
Deeeee
KAREN
To quote Dazed and Confused: "Watch the leather!"
damn
Fuck you Dinorfia for just doing your job.
So close AGon!
Ethier looks entirely uninspired out there. Small sample size I know, but my gut says he's just not hungry.
I am hungry and thirsty, by the way.
Dre better think about getting hungry if there's going to be a 4 outfielder situation.
Great inning, HJ
LGD
rats
I hate Donnie's bunt calls
Cashner must use Soul Glow.
1-0!
Hot damn!!
Whoo Hoo! Seal broken!
Yeah Carl!
Homer here for Puig.
there we go!
Ned's thinking about his next pair of cowboy boots
Rancho por HR
Mrs FB: "The Padres look like a bunch of rednecks in those uniforms"
bah
Really Hanley? really?
That looked familiar.
Thanks for wasting those dingers on the Freeway Series, Hanram.
Pretty weak comparing Cashner to the Kid.
Great inning HJ!
Would be nice if Ethier chose to swing one of these ABs
Ethier looks like shit. What's he grumpy about now?
AGon toe dance!
Public Enemy #2!
Wow, Ryu has retired 15 straight.
wow, another great inning from HJ
that was pathetic
Don't fucking get me started on Dee and his goddamn shitty bunting.
Every time Dee fails a bunt, an angel gets his wings
Two failed bunts in a row.
With Dee in the 8 hole tonite it feels like we have to clear 2 pitchers spots.
GameDay made it look like that wild pitch hit the hotel in the outfield
Stretch baby. Too bad CC couldn't get another run there, but we can't depend on him in every two-out, RISP position
Not a good GBA here
What's good folks? I hope to be more involved here this season. Looks like we have a typical NL West game going on. Let's finish it!
16
Yo Wix!
UJTD!
3-6-3 DP!
My kids have commandeered one TV to watch Batman (circa the 60s). I've raised them right
Will this game make it to post 227... time will tell.
These Padres fans are brain dead but if you choose to live in San Diego that is a given.
All these Pod Rays pitchers look like they just emerges from the deer woods.
*Dueling Banjos plays*
Damn, Wilson. Tie game.
ShitShitShit
Well, that wasn't good.
Well goddammit.
Crap...that was a hanging something.
I've got something hanging...for Neeebs' mom.
Why is Wilson imploding here
You former jint bastard are you a spy trying to derail us?
Wilson: HR, BB, E
This is unWilson like.
Did he take third? I can't see him with that camouflage uniform
BE L.A.
We need to cut back to the shot of unhappy Ned Colletti
Throw strikes Wilson!!
Look at the chop job on Wilson's beard. I hope he doesn't have a Sampson complex.
Donnie? You alive?
Donnie is going to shave that beard off with barbed wire.
Well this sucks.
Can we go back to Australia for the next series?
Wik...or his teeth.
My armpit hurts
Implosion.
What the hell is happening here
Oh, Don Mattingly woke up!
ferchristsakes
shouldn't have cut that stupid dingleberry off the beard
Way to help out, AGon.
Didn't realize they were showing a rerun game from last April
Checking in from a birthday party...godfuckingdammit, Wilson!
throw strikes, stupid
I hate it when the noffense shows up on Opening Day.
white flag time
Even if we get out on the cheap down by 2 i really don't like our chances.
Paco' s real name is Steven. Wtf
Perez K, Paco K
Steven is Paco in Spanish. Neeebs is Paco in Arabic.
Good job Paco.
good job, Paco
DAMMIT!
Welp, that painful inning is over.
Good job Steverino
Paco in early season form. Now come on boys give us some hope and dash it tragically with a strike out.
Mike Petriello @mike_petriello 46s
LAD top five tonight -- Crawford, Puig, Hanley, Gonzalez, Ethier -- 1-19 with a walk. Hooray.
This ump hasn't called a strike over the plate all night.
Time for some come to Jesus meetings with the team
barf
Well, that was humiliatin
perfect season over
