Paul Maholm (0-1, 4.97) vs. Cliff Lee (2-2, 4.00).
Step right up to Cliff's Amusement Park, which has historically been full of nauseating moments for the Dodgers. Lee's career ERA of 1.70 (across seven games) is the third best among all opponents lifetime, behind only the Giants and the Phillies themselves. And the Phillies have been Dodger killers in recent years, particularly in the playoffs.
On the positive side, we've got Paul Maholm pitching. Just kidding! On the positive side, Lee has not gotten offensive support from his team this year; in his last outing, Lee walked one and struck out 13 over nine innings...but lost 1-0. According to MLB.com, Lee's 3.87 run support average since 2011 is the seventh lowest in baseball.
But we can still hope! Mattingly will likely be strategic in picking his horses from the Dodgers' outfield carousel. And Adrian Gonzalez, riding his 15-game hitting streak with a double yesterday, will still bring his dragon swing. I mean, it's been a roller-coaster year for the Dodgers already, but just think what would happen if yesterday's hero Yasiel Puig gets a load of a Cliff hanger.....and with that, I'll ask you to tune in for tonight's game.

The #Dodgers today recalled Jose Dominguez and optioned Chone Figgins to @AbqTopes.
Huh?
Bye Chone, I'm sure we will see you again before the end of the season.
Is Wilson worse off than we're being told so bullpen help brought up? Or is our bullpen shittier than we're being told so bullpen help brought up?
I'm thinking Wilson's elbow is hanging on by whatever sutures are left from his TJ surgery
Shit. 2 in for Phillies.
That didn't take long.
Maholm pitching like a stud.
Not.
well that should about do it
how was that only 2 runs? Maholm should be in the 3rd inning after that
Well that wasn't pretty.
FB..."Watching Malholm pitch is like stabbing your eyes with a rusty fork"...Such a word master.
was that our last chance at a run?
way too many fly balls for Maholm
BeastMode!!!
Glad they didn't review that
BJ...I thought exactly the same thing.
this is going to be a long, quick game
nice play by Hanley and his weird beard
Why am I not surprised?
sheezus
too many fly balls
stupid walk
Chooch can go to hell.
He's one of those players that if we traded for him or signed him as a free agent, he'd be terrible
Now we're snowballing.
Man that guy sucks all the way around
hahaha unreal
that was amazingly terrible
you could see it happen before it happened
he's gonna walk Lee now, isn't he?
or give up a 2-run double
and he was lucky to get that out
All we can do is wait for the pitching change for them. With League up, there goes 5 more runs.
League in.
Now we're really in trouble.
Gnats lost to the Rox
League does well in low/no-leverage situations. Can Donny get another inning out of him?
nice work, Brandon!
Let's turn League into a starter.
@Orel I assume you mean a starter as in an appetizer?
why am I still watching this?
Why CAN'T I watch this?
gnite yall. Let's try to get to 5 hits before the game is over
I'm back home and on the transistor radio. Doesn't sound like I missed much whilst having dinner out and glancing down repeatedly at GameDay. Alternately put, looks like I missed what I needed to miss.
DB...This way, your appetite wasn't ruined.
Nor is my thirst.
45
Well, we all knew that was coming.
Thought about going tonight. Glad we did't!
So it appears we should trade for Carlos Ruiz.
@Orel
No, then Ruiz will immediately begin sucking and make us regret the ill-advised trade.
It would be Andruw Jones all over again.
@Karen
(cries)
Nighty night all.
Well that sucked the big one.
