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.
Dan Haren (4-1, 2.68) vs. Tom Koehler (3-2, 1.99).
Koehler again? Ten days ago in Miami, Koehler needed only 91 pitches to hold L.A. scoreless over seven innings. The Dodgers, fresh off yesterday's demoralizing two-seconds-of-hope moment quashed by an extra-innings collapse, are in Sputter Mode, per respected Yahoo! sportswriter Tim Brown. What ever will shake this team from its haze of mediocrity?

My first attempt at posting the lineup. Let's see if this does the trick.
Gordon
Puig
Ramirez
Gonzalez
Kemp
Ethier
Turner
Droopy Terra
Haren
Look, it's not like our offense can get any Koehler.
Now that I look at it a bit more closely, today's lineup looks like a call for GAARP:
Dee Gordon
Puig
Hanley Ramirez
Adrian Gonzalez
Matt Kemp
Andre Ethier
Turner
Drew Butera
Haren
DP HAM AT DH? Sounds like GAARP to me.
@Sax lol
2 thoughts from the pre-game show:
Stubbs yelling at Turner "you played for the Mets, you don't know anything about winning"
I find very discouraging that they keep saying "it's only May" but don't sound very convinced :(
Buck up, Karina, it's not that bad!
FINALLY THE TABLES ARE TURNED
time to tighten this shit up
another broken Belt
Night Stand with Dick Dietrich with the sac fly
How many miles of homers will Stanton hit off Haren?
he's out
wake up, Haren
now is when Haren gives up a bomb
what the hell happened there in the first? We challenged, and won, but they also scored?
Yelich looks like Steve-O
Dee Gordon grounds to second. One out in the first
Puig is swinging at everything
@Sax with one out and a runner on third, Stanton hit a slow grounder to first, Haren was slow to get to first and barely beat Stanton to the bag. It was so close that Stanton was called safe but the runner scored. Donnie called for the replay and won it
just as I write that, Puig turns an 0-2 count into a walk. Nice.
orange
And, Puig CS.
Puig out by a mile
HanRam walks. Too bad Puig was CS.
I think he started his steal from the bag
weak popup.
1-0 miami, through 1
Haren jobbed on the check swing
nearly turned that DP
1-0 Marlins through 1.5.
FB, it looks like it's just you and me baby.
sitting on adjacent Koehler toilets.
good recovery, Dan
Can you pass me the toilet paper please
You reading that magazine?
FB, I think the grand irony is that you and I might be the only two people able to watch this game
1000th career game for Kempy.
It's pretty sad.
And I could actually sign up for SportsNetLA here if I wanted to
those orange marlins jerseys are horrific
kemp with a sweet single to right on a 2-2 count. Way to go, Matt.
Matty with the liner to right
ah shit, my video is buffering again. DAMMIT
those jerseys look like a Cheeto fucking a 2-litre of Sunkist
ethier with another playable pop fly to left.
Pete and Pete up with one out
Kemp SB.
Turner, get Matt home!
Safe, bishes!
definitely safe
@FB 745p: LOL
Turner hits it, but Kemp is held at third (which sounds like it was the right move)
Here's Droopy, two out with men at the corners
Larry Bowa would've sent him.
wow that was close
he's gonna K now
Dammit, 3-2 count and Butera just hooked it a bit too much
Same diff.
Satisfactory!
attaboy, Danny!!
That fanfare was short
get it together, Danny
get an out!
a miracle double play gets him out of it
Of course, we tie it at 1 in the second, and then give up two runs in the third.
Running uphill here guys
Is this a Stubbs sighting?
Shit, Kings falling apart again. 3-1 Ducks in the second.
Stubbs, did you see how we did on PB2? Not too shabby
ATL-SF, tied at 1 in T5
3-1 Miami through 3
Jones will hit at least one homer against us this series
good inning for Haren
Now 4-1 Ducks. Kings looking like they've run out of post-season magic.
Droop manages a walk
terrible bunting
Moehler reminds me of Scott Erickson in his motion
Salty America
holy cow that was donked!!!
Puig power! él sabe mucho!
nice work, Hanley, find the feeling
*jiggles the handle*
OK Danny, don't give it right back to them
great inning, Dan
@Sax
Yeah, I was still checking in on progress, but you carried us most of the way.
attaboy, Dre!
Can Haren bring home Droopy?
Haren takes the 1-2 count to full
Dee with two men on and two out
come on, Puig
nice patience Puigster
6-3 Dodgers
cmon, Hanley, put this one away
feels like we should have 23 runs
6-3 LA through 5.
We'll need more than that to win today, boys
AC Anniversary!
Vin talking about the Alex Cora 18-pitch AB, as his story of the game.
Meanwhile, Stanton with a leadoff double in T6.
Giants take a 4-1 lead on the Braves, who suck.
It's good to see us utilizing some alternative defenses. I feel like we are the last team to do that
good recovery, Danny
pickoff attempt!?! Like A-Gon is going to run?
Droopy with the deuces wild
100
Droopy K.
OK this game has another hour in it and I need to go to bed. Hold down the fort, Saxy!
I am in a bathroom stall watching mlb.tv on my iPhone. This is awesome.
Nice 7th, Haren
Wilson gives back two, just like that. 6-5 LA
(I'm out of the bathroom, don't worry)
(Though I feel like I should go back, the way this game is going)
WE WIN??!!
