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.
Josh Beckett (0-0, 9.00) vs. Tim Lincecum (0-1, 9.90).
The Dodgers playing on the road on Jackie Robinson Day? Heresy. There will likely be a lot of runs scored on this Jackie Robinson Day by the first-place Dodgers and second-place (by a game) Giants, as former World Series MVP Beckett and former two-time Cy Young winner Lincecum square off in the Battle of the Has-Beens. Another nod to the past, perhaps?

FUCK THE GNATS!
HateHateHate!
My HATE is flowing freely!! FUCK the gnats!!
What channel can I watch the game?
Wait...what?
Looks like the hate train left the station early today.

Paco Rodriguea is not heading out to the field for stretching, apparently he will be optioned to make room for Brian Wilson.
I think we can do without Paco Rodriguea, as long as they didn't send down Paco Rodriguez.
DfuckingFA League already. We need Paco.
ITFDB
It's titties for Dusty Baker.
I have to admit I got teary eyed listening to Vin and Jon Miller announcing the lineups saying each player and that they were wearing number 42.
Thank you Jackie Robinson.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention how much I LOVE to HATE Tim Lincecum.
Uribe!
Waiting for the caterpillar on Timmah's face to become a butterfly.
URBIE!!!
Beckett plunks Morse in the elbow.
Beckett pickoff error allows Morse to third? What the hell?
the new Apple II ain't worth a shit.
(cries)
I would have loved to have seen that DP to get us out of the inning just now.
Puig's in the hole. Tha's what gameday say's anyways.
Puig hitting .231 these days. Feels like he's hitting somewhat better.
Gypped today. Was going to Tigers/Indians game but the damn snow killed it. And I had my Dodgers warm cap to wear. Wanted to represent the Dodgers on JR day. Boo
Uribe Ks swinging with the bases loaded. FedEx up.
FedEx sucksEx. We gotta get a decent catcher (back) or in a trade. Can't do this really light hitting white guy, not pitch sequencing well, slow as shit solution all season for a team projected to go to WS.
Not abandoning AJEllis by any stretch but we need a real succession plan. Go get Kurt Suzuki or someone like that.
Now Giants with RA.
And we escape!
Beckett wriggles off the hook!
Fuck you, Journey. Ours was the real Escape.
Beckett is a Carnival Cruise. Sure, it starts out smoothly enough, but then there's no power and shit EVERYWHERE.
42 minutes between Beckett pitches tonight in honor of Jackie.
Beckett in another jam. Men on 1st & 2nd with two out in the fifth inning.
Norovirus time!
Walks Sandoval. Bases sacked for O. Pubes.
I thought the Giants had offense this year.
great top of the inning guys.
Dodgers go down easily in the sixth.
I want to picture that Ethier AB like if Lamar Latrell from Revenge of the Nerds was swinging at the ball.
This infield defense is shakier than Spanky on a Monday after a three-day weekend.
This one's on you, HanRam.
And Withrow shits the bed, with an assist from Hanley's error. Tie game.
BOOOOOOOOO
Neighbors looks like a great flick. not really.

@Spank
Highly recommend black-guy-wearing-a-fat- suit-dressing-up-as-an-older-woman part VIII. Can't miss it!
Took me forever to figure out what that "C" line is in GameDay's box score layout this season. Man I feel stupid.
More than usual, even.
score some runs goddamnit!
Painful inning for Withrow. And yet we were lucky the Giants only scored one.
i'm still tripping on moundball. it's like one of us is coming up with these names for gameday.
Wait! What is "C"? Crappy play?
Can't stop Juan.
goddamn Urine!!
I still can't believe I find myself saying "Fuck yeah, Uribe!!!" several times a night, consistently.
@Orel
No, there's only one spot for the "C" notation. We would need a lot more space if it were "Crappy play".
I am going to state the obvious:
The Angels' bullpen is poor.
Thank you, Mochi!
I'd love some green tea mochi right now.
Mochi looks like he enjoys a lot of his namesake dessert.
DAMMIT?
let's do this,mangs!
I think that was more of a co-sack type situation, Nomo, like when two people get half a sack.
Snakes got pounded by Mutts 9-0.
Turner gives us the lead!!!
that's right
Redeem yourself, Hanley.
Mother of shit, just leave a pitcher in for awhile, Bochy. I want to re-watch Game of Thrones already and it's getting late.
2-1 us. Need nine more outs.
I need nine more beers.
Actually I haven't had a single beer. have no idea what I was thinking.
no beers??
(cries)
I had Firestone 805. Sadly, not 805 Firestones.
yasueil triple!
Puig's triple wasted. I'm sure that won't come back and bite us in the ass.
Update. I'm blind here.
Our bullpen is overrated.
Give Juan more money.
Wow, UJTD!
here i is
Did we get insurance runs yet?
matty single. no insurance run(s) yet neeebster
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
no insurance runs.
butt clenching time
One away!
When's the last time Kenley had a 1-2-3 inning?
Either UTJD or we have to face Kung Fat.
Well shit!
When's the last time we had 100 comments?
(cries)
Where the hell is Mr F?
And the experts say not to worry about KJ
goddamnitsonofabitch
Gonna lose this game.
96 mph heat to K Fat Panda.
IBB to Oyster Pubes to get to Pence now.
We're going to hate the end of this game, aren't we?
0-2 to Pence. Still possible DB.
I've kinda hated all of this game, tbh.
^ *nods*
Extra innings.
Sure would be nice to be watching this game.
There's your 100 DB
Fucking hell, Puig. None of that ice cream cone shit.
What the fuck happened?
If you were watching this game you'd hate the Corky's Pest Control commercial as much as I do.
Is everyone watching the game except me?
Puig nearly bobbled the catch.
@Neeebs
Nope, I can't see a thing.
I'm watching. But I'll be heading to bed soon.
That Corky's Pest Control ad may be in the top three shittiest ones I've ever heard.
Hanley fouls off a bunch then fouls out. One down.
AGon hits a weak liner to second. Two down.
So when I go to DS is Tommy' s restaurant worth the hype? I'm a Rodger dog kind of guy.
Even crappier is that I find out what happens by reading the posts about 15 seconds before my audio feed catches up.
Just not a good way to consume sports, no offense to you fine commenters.
@Neeebs re Tommy's
Take it for what it is. It's fast food in a baseball stadium; it's not Spago. That said, it's decent and a good alternative from the other more routine fare.
Got it.
Now do we run Puig here?
Wow. This team.
Jaime Wright. Oh boy.
Where did Saxy disappear to?
And Karina is MIA too.
Fuck.
I smell walk off
I hate this stupid sport.
I blame Jansen
Yeah, it's weird. I know Jansen is better than that, but he kinda hasn't been. A lotta weird lucky hits, but still...
I smell shrimp.
HOW ARE WE STILL ALIVE
That was our lucky break.
Can we string some hits here?
And I'm getting sleepy.
OK, major props to Jamey Wright for wriggling off that hook. No idea how he did it. SINCE I CAN'T WATCH THE FUCKING GAME
donthitintoaDPdonthitintoaDPdonthitintoaDPFUCK
Would have been nice to have gotten that bunt down TFed
I'm calling it a night.
Really? Wright again?
Sweet dreeems!
At least he got an out before allowing the first hit.
UJTMFD!
I'm in this to the end.
Chone Time
I'm in this until I pass out.
Hanley double!
IBB AGon...
(Ch)one out.
Weird Baseball.
shit
Well fuck that.
I truly hate that guy.
PGTUP. I don't even know why
