Game 4 Thread: April 1 @ Padres, 3:30p

Zack Greinke vs. Ian Kennedy.

Ian Kennedy? The former Diamondback who hit Yasiel Puig in the nose last year? Zack Greinke, who retaliated? Sparks may fly!

Hideo Nomo said...

Home sick. Can't watch the game on TV. FU(verse)!

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Why FUverse???? Doesn't TWC have some blame???

Hideo Nomo said...

Of course. All involved are to blame, but the others didn't fit as well into the FU joke.

I spoke with VerizonFios this morn and they have no news. The guy did tell me they are hearing from Dodger fans though. I am so pissed. This is supposed to be a happy time of year. I say fuck em all.

QuadSevens said...

I have TWC, but I'll be driving home during most of the game. For anyone looking for a bar to watch the game, check here:

Feel better, Gnomes!

Hideo Nomo said...

Thanks! Hmmm. My computer seems to be picking up a transmission of the game from an unknown source. I wonder how that happened.

Hideo Nomo said...

Switched to MLB.tv because I am somehow not blacked out.

QuadSevens said...

Crawford 7
Puig 9
Ramirez 6
Gonzalez 3
Ethier 8
Uribe 5
Ellis 2
Gordon 4
Greinke 1

QuadSevens said...

Crawford singles, steals second, and goes to third. Then Puig hits one out!

Boys in blue up 2-0.

QuadSevens said...

Fred's Brim said...

2-0 good guys!

Fred's Brim said...

spank said...

MR.F said...

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

spank said...

Get your eyes checked,Dick Enberg. you fucking mutt.

spank said...

Booze status: Rum and coke

Surly status: yes

BJ Killeen said...

$60/mo. Signed up for TWC. Die Dodgers who won't
make a deal

spank said...

Awesome throw Jerko.

Fred's Brim said...

Andre is a true team player. He's trying to make the outfield situation easy on his manager

Fred's Brim said...

attaboy, Dee!

Fred's Brim said...

Ugh so Clayton out for maybe a month? And Wilson acting broken too?

Fred's Brim said...

Seth Smith again? He was so garbage as a Rockie

spank said...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fred's Brim said...

grr, throw strikes
don't let them back in this

Fred's Brim said...

go talk to him, AJ

Fred's Brim said...

can't turn the DP on the slow grounder, 1st and 3rd bad guys, 1 out

Fred's Brim said...

throw strikes, you tiny-headed dingus!

Fred's Brim said...

ferchristsake! stupid wild pitch on ball 4 lets another run home

Fred's Brim said...

I feel like Grienke gets into one of these innings per game where he looks like a complete stiff for an inning surrounded by 5-6 great innings. He'll get out of this mess, then pitch one more perfect inning

Fred's Brim said...

he gets lucky on a low and away pitch for strike 3

Fred's Brim said...

and he gets out of eat cheaply enough, 3-2 good guys

Fred's Brim said...

so we're into the Padres pen

Fred's Brim said...

how is Dre not going to K against this guy?

Fred's Brim said...

by taking a bunch of pitches way out of the zone

i'll take it

spank said...

Hedley

Fred's Brim said...

Uribe beats out a chopper, 1st and 2nd, 1 out

Fred's Brim said...

AJ swinging on the first pitch? yeesh

Fred's Brim said...

it looks cold in SD

Fred's Brim said...

Grank out, Steven in

Fred's Brim said...

jesus, Seth Smith has turned into Paul Goldschmidt against us

Fred's Brim said...

Headley

Fred's Brim said...

Uribe double-clutching on his throws today

Fred's Brim said...

nice work, Pac

Fred's Brim said...

I think Vin is getting a little annoyed with the noffense

Fred's Brim said...

Birthday boy Chris Withrow in for the 7th

Fred's Brim said...

Big fastball get Gyrko

Fred's Brim said...

gets

Fred's Brim said...

no walks, Chris

Fred's Brim said...

nice pickup by AGon, terrible catch by Withrow

Fred's Brim said...

foul ball, barely, down third. that would have tied it up

Fred's Brim said...

Deno flies out instead

Fred's Brim said...

and Withrow gets the third out, 3-2 through 7

Fred's Brim said...

So Perez in the 8th?

Fred's Brim said...

Dre hit that well but to the track in straightaway center

Fred's Brim said...

balls

Fred's Brim said...

balls

Fred's Brim said...

Uribe grounds out to the hole in short

Fred's Brim said...

AJ with a sinking liner to first, 3 out

Fred's Brim said...

balls

Fred's Brim said...

Withrow still out there, I predict a leadoff walk and then he gets pulled

Fred's Brim said...

and Donny doesn't even give him the chance to walk him. JP Shaggy coming in

Fred's Brim said...

Throw strikes, Jape E

Fred's Brim said...

yeesh, JP, he's a lefty, go get him

Fred's Brim said...

We are officially afraid of Seth Smith, Howell vs Headley with runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out. This has bullshit written all over it

Fred's Brim said...

wow, easy double play to Dee who was holding Cabrera at second. 3-2 and heading to the 9th

Wicks said...

JP = DP

Fred's Brim said...

Dee with a bunt and the expected result

Fred's Brim said...

Baxter is still on the roster?

Fred's Brim said...

Baxter with an expected result as well

Fred's Brim said...

CC flies out, KJ in to hopefully shut it down

Fred's Brim said...

shit, Alonso with a leadoff single

Fred's Brim said...

Gyorko flies out to center, one out

Fred's Brim said...

fuck, Venable with a single, Alonso to third, 1 out, Denorfia to screw us again

Fred's Brim said...

huge K of Denorfia, 2 outs

Fred's Brim said...

Cmon, Kenley, finish this!

Fred's Brim said...

fuck a duck, ball 4, bases loaded

Fred's Brim said...

our pen has been more pig than bull

Fred's Brim said...

there we go!
Attaboy, Kenley

Fred's Brim said...

i'll take it

Fred's Brim said...

it's too early for this kind of tension. my weary heart can't take this

Dusty Baker said...

I could only listen in on the 8th and 9th. Three strokes alter, Dodgers win!

I love reading this phrase in the LA Times' write-up:

"Puig hit his towering shot in the first off Ian Kennedy, which had to feel good. Kennedy had hit Puig in the nose with a pitch last season."

Dusty Baker said...

I think Wicks makes a great point.

spank said...

I passed out from the rum and cokes and chili dogs. Missed the last two innings.

Hideo Nomo said...

Way to handle the thread, FB!

Dusty Baker said...

Sure can't wait until Opening Day!

Hideo Nomo said...

Baseball has more openings than a porno set.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

PGT Up???

*Cries*

Hideo Nomo said...

Belated PGT up! Stop crying!
