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.
Paul Maholm (0-2, 5.60) vs. Juan Nicasio (2-0, 4.30).
24 games into their season last year, the Dodgers were 12-12. This year they're 13-11. What does that tell us? Hell if I know. But there's no question our Boys in Blue are scufflin' right now, and Maholm doesn't inspire confidence that he'll break the spell. In eight starts against the Dodgers, Nicasio is 3-2 with a 3.67 ERA, so that's inconclusive as well.
The only thing we can be sure of? 6PM start time = SHADOWS!

Can't spell fuck without Uribe in the lineup. Not that it helped any yesterday.
Easy first for Maholm.
A good sign?
Shadows, definitely shadows.
Helton wannabe bastard.
Han-dub!

Hanley Ramirez in his last 4 games plus one at-bat is 8-for-19 (.421) with four doubles and a home run
Just noted how the upcoming Ryu bobble looks. Sweet! I'm def there for that one.
Maholm retired Tulowitzki. Alert the media!
Matty my man!!
Weak swing by Dre
Huge wasted chance. Men on 1 and 3 and that nameless rabble of shite at the bottom of our lineup is shite. I will help pay for another catcher. Butera blows little boys.
And yeS Katen, that was terrible swing and AB by Dre a while ago. He is still swinging at that out pitch.
Atta boy Dee!!
Puig goes 1st to 3rd on roller to 3rd. Dee scores. I have to go start my heart.
The BEAST goes yard. 3-1 Good guys.
Great. Hanley out. Possible thumb injury.
First Beastie Boys in-game music this season (when I've been here). I thought I was going to cry during Field of Dreams but Intergalactic...niagra falls.
that's our Dusty.
Pretty sad when you bee a visit to the mound to talk abt getting Butera out.
What happened to Hanley???
@Orel...He injured his right thumb. Xrays were negative. Conti says he's ok, just a bruise and not related to surgery he had on same thumb.
Thanks, Karen. Was it a HBP? Never seen a guy get hurt so much by things that aren't his fault. He's like the anti-Kemp.
Orel...No it wasn't a HBP. It was weird. He hit a slow grounder to 3rd and ran it out. He didn't show any signs of pain until after he passed the bag and then shook his hand and made a face. I don't know what exactly he did.
Bullpen bringing the gas can again
Man even his strikes are missing.
Big strikeout.
Withrow likes to live dangerously. Ks Cargo with the bases sacked. Two out.
Tulo up. Ducks on the pond. Withrow throwing high fastballs. What could go wrong?
Nice.
At least Withrow cleans up his own mess. Walks the bases loaded then Ks Cargo & Tulo to escape. Whew.
Paul with the bleak commentary.we're doomed.
the force!!
Need to score. This lead doesn't feel safe. There are approximately 1500 active volcanos in the world. Anyone of them could erupt.
Damn Gordon should have scored.
Okay Ubes, blow the hinges off the door.
That was stupid Puig
Dee scored before Puig was thrown out. Donnie needs to ask for the review.
Dodgers lose the review. Gordon was in. Bad call.
That sucked. At least we got one. On to the 9th unless a catastrophe asteroid hits the earth.
Wilson in trouble. Ubes talking to Wilson about the good ol days.
Vin saying that Wilson told powers that be he's not hurt but needs more work. Immediately walks first 2 Rox.
You're killing me Wilson
Jansen in until League comes in.
Nice to see Donnie finally pulled a quick trigger when a bullpen arm seemed awry. Wilson pulled quick after two quick leadoff walks in the ninth
Nice job Kenley! Dodgers win!
Got him. We can't do anything easy.
bullpen sucks ass
Missed most of this one. Happy we won. Bummed about Wilson and Hanley's hand (again).
PGTUP!
