Game 57 Thread: May 31 vs. Pirates, 4p

Marge: Homer, if the baby's a boy, what do you think about the name Larry?

Homer: Marge, we can't do that. All the kids will call him Larry Fairy.

Marge: How about Louie?

Homer: They'll call him Screwy Louie.

Marge: Bob?

Homer: Slob.

Marge: Luke?

Homer: Puke.

Marge: Marcus?

Homer: Mucus.

Marge: What about Bart?

Homer: Hmmm, let's see. Bart, Cart, Dart, E-art....Nope, can't see any problem with that.

Hyun-Jin Ryu (5-2, 3.10) vs. Brandon Cumpton (0-1, 3.38).

The thoroughly mediocre Dodgers are 14-15 in the month of May. If they're to break even this month, Ryu has to beat the pitcher with the last name that's impossible to mock. Impossible! Let us know if you think of anything.

Good news....National game so we all get it, HooRay!!

Bad news...No Vinny and national games aren't always our best efforts =(

Fred's Brim said...

ugh, they are showing Tampa-Boston here. What are the chances they let me watch it on MLB.tv?

karen said...

The pregame here is showing both Boston-Tampa and Us-Pirats. You're on that side of the country, FB. I guess you're stuck with the fucky game.

karen said...

Oh cool. We get EK calling the game. Does that mean you get Joe Buck? Like I said, the fucky game.

There goes the perfecto. Pressures off now, HJ.

Hideo Nomo said...

Few too many pitches, but no harm done.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Small ball

BJ Killeen said...

Matt hit? [faints]

I think this is a rally

Cliff Beefpile said...

Woot! A Dodger game on my teevee box! They're even winning, too!

Cliff Beefpile said...

3Dee! Atta boy!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Well, shit.

Cliff Beefpile said...

HanRam! Holy shit that was DRILLED!

karen said...

I take back everything I said about national games not always being our best.

karen said...

My Man strutting his stuff!!

Cliff Beefpile said...

AGon scores from second on a grounder through the hole! Be on the lookout for pigs flying and Hell freezing over!

karen said...

Have we scored this many runs all month??

Cliff Beefpile said...

Pirates not fooling anyone, Neeebs's Mom could get a hit today.

Cliff Beefpile said...

HanRam part deux!

Dusty Baker said...

Eazy E just spoke to me from the grave. He said "City of Cumpton!"

Dusty Baker said...

I guess Hanley has had a good day.

Dusty Baker said...

I totally forgot about Jamey Wright.

Greg said...

Ether and Mattingly just had an argument in the dugout which went on for a couple of minutes and then both went into the clubhouse.

Cliff Beefpile said...

I don't think Hughes's jaw is working, he can't seem to close his mouth. He ought to have that looked at.

Dusty Baker said...

Damn, Greg No Photo. Crazy shit.

Greg said...

It looked pretty serious.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Hughes's? Hughes'? Neeebs's? Neeebs'?

karen said...

What would Dre and Mattingly be arguing about? This enquiring mind needs to know.

Greg said...

Mattingly kept walking away and Ethier kept making comments that brought Mattingly back. Andre's back in the dugout now.

Cliff Beefpile said...

You know, for a guy with a reputation as a "player's manager" he sure seems to be prickly with his players.

Greg said...

Well, they sent Romak out there.

karen said...

Dre out of the game. The plot thickens.

karen said...

I hope our boys have some offensive juice left for tomorrow.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Let the party-making commence!

Fred's Brim said...

Now that's what I'm talkin bout!

Greg said...

Nice, easy win. Long game. We've been at the stadium since 2:30!

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Does that include the movie too?

Orel said...

PGTUP!

Greg said...

The movie would have made it over 7 hours. I love Dodger Stadium, but seriously.
