Game 50 Thread: May 24 @ Phillies, 12n

No more of this today, okay?

Dan Haren vs. (5-2, 3.18) vs. David Buchanan (0-0, -.--).

Rookie pitcher alert! Buchanan is taking Cliff Lee's place in the Phillies rotation and, you know, first-time pitcher — although the Dodgers did okay against the first-timer they saw in New York.

Yesterday's offensively challenged lineup eked out a win, although Haren is no Kershaw, so it remains to be seen if Mattingly starts the likes of Arruebarrena and Figgins. And will Kemp sit again, this time against the right-handed Buchanan? Let us know in the comments.

Kemp out again. The clubhouse must be a little tense these days.

I thought Matty might sit again today after Dre and CC had good games yesterday. I know I'm a Pollyanna but I hate thinking about tension between the guys.

I don't like it when mommy and daddy and our outfielders fight.

TWC advertising that SNLA is moving to channel 319 on their service and will "be available in all Southern California communities". They don't give a date as to when.

Rain starting to fall in Philly. No word yet on if start will be delayed.

karen said...

HanRam a last minute scratch. Might be issue with left leg.

Shit.

karen said...

Yasiel, AGon and Dee on AllStar ballot.

Blue go out in order, top of 1.

Danny Boy not looking to impressive so far.

Haren gets out of 1st with 33 pitches. Still 2-0 Commies (You know, cause they where red).

karen said...

After saying Matty and Yasiel were his everyday outfielders Donnie today says "It's open for discussion".

Dodgers got out in order again in 2nd.

Hideo Nomo said...

Welllllllll shit.

Haren struggles through 2. Now at 58 pitches. 4-0 Red. Time to pray for rain.

karen said...

Gnomes...Hang around, I'm lonely!!

Hideo Nomo said...

I'll stick around while I can, K. Not watching (of course), but following while doing Spring Cleaning. I have a these extra outfielders to throw out.

karen said...

Haren strikes out the side in 3rd. Still 4-0 Red.

Thanks Gnomes!

Dodgers mount a weak rally but only score 1. 4-1 Philly after 3 1/2.

karen said...

Haren has retired 7 straight. At 88 pitches thru 4. 4-1 Phils.

karen said...

Conti says HanRam has a mild strain to left calf. Nothing to worry about.

karen said...

New kid or Hairy Ballerina in FB vernacular, gets his first ML hit. Dee singles him in. Score now 4-2.

Hideo Nomo said...

Creepin' and crawlin' back in?

Hideo Nomo said...

Here, have that run back. We wren't using it.

karen said...

Puig hits triple/error and scores on passed ball/wild pitch. No word on scoring for each play yet. 5-3 Phils.

Hideo Nomo said...

That inning was a bummer and a half.

karen said...

Dodgers go down in 9th. Final score 5-3 Phillies.

Orel said...

This team has the momentum of a pancake.

Belli had a total meltdown vs the Yanks today. The awful 80s uniforms didn't help
