Clayton Kershaw (4-2, 3.32) vs. Jorge De La Rosa (6-4, 3.68)
This season has truly turned into an American Horror Story. The Noffense continues to be a bane; the once-stolid bullpen has been cursed; and the outfield has turned into a witches brew of injuries, poor play, shifting positions, and bruised egos.
To top it all off, not one but two players went down to hip injuries in yesterday's game. Namely, the two players who have provided much of the offensive spark (when it actually burned) during the season so far - Gordon and Puig. It's as if a dark priestess (surely associated with the Giants) broke out a voodoo doll and started poking the hip area (Gordon and Puig), the ankle area (Crawford), and the butt area (Kemp, because he seems ass-hurt).
At this point, many are calling for Donnie to be burned at the stake. Perhaps he needs to Coven another team meeting to try to bring this lethargic, talented yet seemingly uninspired bunch back from the dead.
Let's hope Kershaw reveals himself as the Supreme today.

Not a Dre day against Of the Rose. Sweet shitsucking jesus, look at this lineup.
Great GT Dusty. Could our lineup be any weaker? Donnie must not be too nervous about the pending stake burning.
Congratulations Rafael Nada on his NINTH French Open Championship!
^Oops...Nadal.
Hopefully our hitting isn't Nada today.
Slight rain falling at Coors. Tarp is on the field but no word on possible delay. As much as I hate rain outs, with this lineup, it might be a blessing.
I'm with you, Spank...on one condition, you need to hang with me here a little today if the rain doesn't get us.
Tarp coming off the field. They're saying they should get the game in.
All in, brother Spanky!
Grande Cadillac up in dis bish!
For those without TWC, it was just pointed out that Kid K has the highest BA in the lineup today. This ought to be a beaut. I can hardly wait.
I can't hardly not wait.
Great stat, Karen...thx.
(cries)
TJ SImers finally shit-canned. Good riddance you sack of shit.
yay, time to lose another series
Chonie Chones
De La Rosa very generous so far, probably purposely just setting us up for greater frustration
If we didn't have no outfielders, I would say sit AG and put SVS at first vs the lefty
Adrian continues to stink it up. he has that nice run a couple of weeks ago but has been donk since
Chone with the steal of third
That was close at third.
and they're reviewing the very close play, looks barely safe
Now reviewing the call at third. Looks like maybe he was in there.
Safe. Good call.
lucky with the safe call
you should get tossed for arguing after a replay
I'm keeping up w the game thru this thread. Just not feeling the GameDay tip today.
Matty with a 2 RBI triple! It was probably a double but the CF couldn't cut it off for some reason
As our resident Matt Kemp Whore, I feel it is my responsibility to speak for MKW's everywhere in saying its about damn time.
Hanley looked to be grimacing as he came around third but he's always grimacing. I can't tell when he's hurt or just Hanley
hehe well said, karen
Where do I sign up to be a MKW?
Two things:
1) Karen is already MVP of this GT with that MKW comment.
2) Can we start calling Hanley "Grimace"?
ugh, bad K for SVS, Matty still at third
Now De La Rosa is getting the calls
and Romak gets rung up on another pitch that wan't a strike earlier in the inning
Matty left at third. 2-0 Good Guys.
i am sleeeeepy, gonna take a few innings off
Shut'em down, CK!
2-0? Sweet?
Where you at, Spankster?
Rally, FB!
I wonder if Donnie apologized to Kid K when posting this lineup.
Coffee brewing time, FB!
Karen and Dust calling FB out.
45
Kid K's the side. 2-0 Blue.
Sounds like Kid K cruising so far.
@Dust...Tulo did get around on one but lined it barely foul. Other then that, Kid looked very good.
Thx, MKW.
Boys out quickly. Despite being down 2-0, Del la Rosa has 5 SO's.
Dusty...he he, love it!!
rum and coke. family visiting,DB. getting Time Warner cable soon hopefully when i move into my new place. be around more unfortunately for all y'all.
We miss your regular presence and wisdom, Spank. Siempre bienvenido.
@Spanky...I can't wait!
Rox on 1st and 3rd with 1 out...and rain is beginning to fall.
The Fat Tire has landed. In my belly
Hope Dinger gets soaked
Kid gets out of the inning striking out the side again. Now has 6 K's. Still 2-0 Dodgers.
Looks like the rain is coming down harder. Charley thinking its only a matter of time.
I'd hate to lose Clay because of a long delay. He's looking his best since coming off DL. Chone opens with a single.
Dodgers out in top of 3. Del La Rosa at 64 pitches. Still 2-0.
Kemp leads off next inning!
A single! Celebrate, MKW!
Orel...I was still celebrating when he got thrown out on the front end of the DP. Maybe I was being too cocky?? Nah...
And that's why there are no SVSW's.
Orel...I thought maybe it was on account of that mess on his mug!
Fvck...Tulo with the solo. 2-1 Blue.
What's happening now?
^ANd I'm not referencing an ill-advised sequel to the sit-com classic, "What's Happening."
Dusty...2 out, top of 5, Kid K AB. 2-1 Blue. Rain still coming down hard.
Going to bot of 5. Rain is intense. Pray for an official game. Now lightening and thunder. Umps are talking.
NAP COMPLETED!
hurry up, CK!
Wheeler being a pest at the plate, fouling off lots of pitches
We missed you, FB! I think you might be just in time for a rain delay.
SVS runs down the drive in the pouring rain
Dusty...2 out in bot of 5. Almost there.
Rojas with a nice play at third, AG sticks with the high through to get LeMahieu
@karen, I hope it's just in time for a win!
don't walk the pitcher, please
Its official.
and he battles back to K him
we are official
HanRam rakes it! It clears the stands. 3-1 Dodgers.
Hanley with the megadonk!
Romak with his first ML hit, a double, scores Agon and My Matty who both walked. Now Rojas with his first hit drives in Romak. And I was bitching about this lineup! 6-1 Dodgers after 5 1/2.
Tell me re the megadonk rake.
Holy Vin! 6-1?!?!?!
What's weather situ?
Dusty...Rox measured it a 461'. Our guys in the booth thought it was longer. They just called a rain delay in middle of 5th.
So not official game yet?
^Mid 6.
Sorry Dust. My brains are still mush from Kings game =)
My brains, liver, heart, and soul are still mush from the Kings game. And from 44 years of health indifference.
How are we doing, my Funk Spank Brother?
@spank, are you in Padres territory? Will you be able to get the Dodgers when you get TW or will they black you out?
Hope Colletti is high so he won't see this:
"Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo
Sources: Heath Bell opts out of #Orioles deal and is now a free agent. Team wasn't calling him up."
when will they call this officially? Other than the 5 inning thing, I've never known the rules about when a game is called vs delayed
I hope Colletti is out shopping for cowboy boots during the rain delay and misses that news
How long has this delay been? How long until Kid is lost t
Oh geez! I hit Enter on accident! This is my stupid way of asking how long before Kid K can't come back out??
K isn't coming back out.
We'll have to leave it to our cursed Coven-pen.
I don't want to say this cause it'll come back to Haunt me, but the Coven has done okay the last couple of days for the most part, short of Perez.
I am now burning sage to off set any evil bullpen spirits I may have released by making that observation.
looks like we're starting back up at the top of the hour
Hated Ones beat Mets 6-4.
I remember when Nomo pitched his no-hitter at Coors. I think it was right after a long rain delay and the humid air really helped his pitches break
Spank is doing fine these days. It was sketchy there for a while but i only see blue skies now.
@ FB - I do live on the outskirts of the SD radar but the Padres have no pull when it comes to Time Warner and the Dodgers like they have with the Dish and Directv.
PARTYMAKINGTIME!
I was all prepared to resume but fuck yeah I'll take it!!
Ill definitely take it!
Make Party Time...Literally!
