Game 10 Thread: April 9 vs. Tigers, 7p


Josh Beckett (0-0, -.--) vs. Anibal Sanchez (0-0, 4.50)

Josh Beckett returns from the DL as the Dodgers look to sweep a two-game series with the Tigers. Place your bets now: Which number will be higher, home runs allowed by Beckett or total hours the game lasts?

I will be at the Ravine tonight for my first game of the season. I'm looking forward to giving the new bars a spin. Hit me up in the comments or on Twitter if you want to say hi.

Hellooooooo? I am on Dodger Stadium wi-fi.

Hideo Nomo said...

Where the hell is everyone?

BJ Killeen said...

It's good Nomo. We used it there also.

Steve Sax said...

Big game today, a "series" sweep would be huge.

It's all up to you, Gnomes.

BJ Killeen said...

Watchin the sandlot

BJ Killeen said...

I won one dinner already, got two more riding on it.

karen said...

On my sofa all!! Lets all harness the good juju for Josh!!

Steve Sax said...

Beckett registers at least one out tonight.

Steve Sax said...

Beckett is still looking for that second out. Tiger on second base.

Steve Sax said...

Two on, one out.

Steve Sax said...

How many runs will have scored when Beckett records his second out?

karen said...

Be nice Steve. This is about all we got and beggars can't be choosers.

Steve Sax said...

Beckett now at 18 pitches, still one out

Steve Sax said...

@karen: I'm trying, I'm trying.

So is Ian Kinsler, who just stole third.

Steve Sax said...

Need the DP here

Steve Sax said...

And, Beckett gives up a sac fly, so he gives up a run for that elusive second out.

Beckett is just a frickin' disaster.

Steve Sax said...

@karen: but we're not beggars! we've got the highest payroll in MLB! And we're trotting Beckett out there!

Steve Sax said...

Beckett gets a K!

Three outs, 26 pitches, 1 run, two SB yielded. Sheesh, Gnomes is in for a long night...

karen said...

I guess we've been given small mercies with only 1 run scored.

Dusty Baker said...

Finally on the sofa, Vinny!

Dusty Baker said...

Good chance to get one back here, lads. Come on, A-Gon, get going.

Steve Sax said...

too bad dee was CS, or we'd be tied

Steve Sax said...

we have more hits. they have more runs.

Steve Sax said...

Arizona scores 3 on SF in the top of the first

karen said...

Hooray for us!!

Hideo Nomo said...

I fucking love this stadium.

Dusty Baker said...

Sounds like some bad work with the leather from the Tigres.

karen said...

Ok, my man everyone!!Show us your stuff big guy!!

Dusty Baker said...

Glad to hear, Gnomes. Isn't it great? It preserves the best of what was good about it but adds some new amenities that just make it that much better.

Dusty Baker said...

"Show us your stuff big guy!!" -- Neeebs' mom

karen said...

It's ok Matty. When I grow up, I still want you to be the father of my children.

Steve Sax said...

wait we are winning????

Steve Sax said...

anibal is actually throwing more pitches in the first than beckett?

Steve Sax said...

it's a race to the bottom!

Orel said...

Following the game on a GT is an exercise in detective work.

Dusty Baker said...

@Orel You mean my masterful insight isn't enough to paint a perfect picture of what's happening in the game?

BJ Killeen said...

I'm back. Had to watch the end of the Sandlot. These Detroit TV announcers suck, too.

BJ Killeen said...

Nice

BJ Killeen said...

Thank eewe

Dusty Baker said...

Annabelle is on track to make about 73 wild pitches.

Orel said...

We could fill a blog with your masterful insight, Dusty. Oh wait, we have!

Dusty Baker said...

How do you do!!!

Dusty Baker said...

Using the words Uribe and squeeze in the same sentence just feels right.

karen said...

Shades of Tommy Lasorda. I love it!!

Orel said...

Squeeze?

BJ Killeen said...

Gordon ran down the line at 3.75 sec

BJ Killeen said...

That's a lotta pitches in 2

Dusty Baker said...

61 pitches so far for Annibelle.

Andrew said...

Started reading War and Peace in the first inning. Pretty sure I'll finish before the game's over.

BJ Killeen said...

That was pretty

Orel said...

Started writing War and Peace II: The Reckoning in the first inning. Will be ready for publication by the fourth.

Hideo Nomo said...

Oof. I need to walk off this Dodger Dog, chicken parm and and beer, you guys. Gonna do a few more circle tours of the stadium.

Dusty Baker said...

3 run HR over Kemp's head. This is your modern Beckett. I'm afraid he's Jason Schmidt at this point. RIP Beckett's arm.

BJ Killeen said...

Hunnycutt: "okay, Josh, go throw it right down the middle. He'll never suspect a thing."

Dusty Baker said...

On Game Day that pitch looked like something a pitcher in on the secret would throw to fulfill a Make-a-Wish dream of a kid who always wanted to jack one out of the Yard.

Orel said...

Welp. Game over.

Andrew said...

Dayum Saxie, don't beat around the bush, straight up...how do you feel about Josh right now?

Hideo Nomo said...

Dre never met a first pitch he didn't swing at.

Steve Sax said...

In good news, D'backs are up 7-2. Lincecum lasted only four innings.

Dusty Baker said...

Excellent news, Sax!

Orel said...

Don't worry, guys — League's warming up.

Hideo Nomo said...

Briefly saw Alanna Rizzo on the Club level. Even cuter in person.

BJ Killeen said...

Poor max. His bobblehead looks like a child pornographer.

BJ Killeen said...

I gotta go to sleep. Can't do two in a row

Orel said...

Sons of Steve Garvey ‏@sosgsosg 2m

That awkward moment when @alannarizzo passes you on the Club level and your brain goes "DURRRRR" and you don't say anything. Smooth. -N

Orel said...

"Alanna! One day I hope to watch you on TV."

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Does Zack Lee get called up next week? Or will they go with Fife or Magill? You know Beckett is going back on the shelf wuth some kind if mystery injury after tonight.

Steve Sax said...

Brandon League, picking up where Josh Beckett left off

Orel said...

I'm sure they don't want to start the clock ticking on Lee just yet.

BJ Killeen said...

Lucky sob

Orel said...

Alanna Rizzo ‏@alannarizzo 2m

@sosgsosg - say hello next time! :)

Sons of Steve Garvey ‏@sosgsosg 1m

@alannarizzo Will do! -N

Orel said...

Gnomes, you smoothie!

Hideo Nomo said...

OK, I knew I was going to wander around a lot tonight, but I'm starting to miss my seat.

Hideo Nomo said...

Yes, I am quite the player.

Hideo Nomo said...

Welp, two out madness begins again.

Orel said...

What did FedEx do?

Hideo Nomo said...

Sweet throw to Dee.

Orel said...

Sweet, for our D.

Hideo Nomo said...

I have a bad feeling about this.

Orel said...

Dusty Baker said...

Here comes the dramatic comeback attempt that will ultimately end in dashed hopes and a troubled night's sleep.

Orel said...

You act is if it's happened before.

Orel said...

Dodgers score two in the ninth, trail 6-5. Two out, men on 1st & 3rd, Dee Gordon up.

Orel said...

Tie game!!!

QuadSevens said...

Gordon ties it up for us!!

Orel said...

Not a series for the closers.

QuadSevens said...

Right you are Orel. Kenley gives up a solo shot to Victor Martinez.

Orel said...

Shit.

QuadSevens said...

Then single, fly out, single. First and second now for the Tigers.

QuadSevens said...

KJ with a K. Two down.

QuadSevens said...

JP coming in now. Hit the showers KJ.

QuadSevens said...

JP strikes him out. Going to the bottom of the 10th down by one.

QuadSevens said...

Joba the Hut in to pitch.

QuadSevens said...

HanRam with the swinging bunt for an infield single.

QuadSevens said...

Joba out. Some lefty in to face AGon.

QuadSevens said...

AGon goes down swinging. One out.

QuadSevens said...

Ethier check swing called for strike three. New pitcher coming in to face Kemp. Two down.

QuadSevens said...

Kemp grounds out and it's bedtime.

Orel said...

Dusty was right!

Steve Sax said...

shit, that was a long game.
