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.
Josh Beckett (3-3, 2.57) vs. Mike Leake (3-5, 3.29).
Well, this is weird. In each of the first four games of this seven-game road trip, the Dodgers have scored at least five runs, and here's guessing Beckett will need at least that many to earn a win today. Scott Van Slyke went into Chewbacca Mode yesterday, but don't expect him to start against the right-handed Leake. Also, is Dee Gordon's hip healthy enough for him to start? Better do a hip check!

The tarp is on the field. We're looking at a probable delay to the start.
Are the ducks back?
Bill Shaikin saying the bad weather scheduled for tomorrow is the only reason we may wait this one out, otherwise they'd go straight to the double header for tomorrow
Still raining. Umps to meet at 8:15 EST to make possible decision.
Detroit @ CWS already postponed.
so maybe a 9:15/6:15 start?
7p PT: Nationals @ Giants: Fister (4-1, 3.19 ERA) vs. Bumgarner (8-3, 2.68 ERA
Saxy is licking his chops thinking about writing a Fist and Bum related game thread
@FB: Wow, I hadn't thought of that! Oh my god, why don't I start a Giants blog and report the news on that blog?
there's no hockey game tonight, right? but there's a hoops game?
SNLA reporting game to resume at 6:00 PST with first pitch at 6:15.
Good call, FB!!

tarps off and Spank is on tap fo this one. Epale,y'all!!
Spanky my friend!! So glad you're on board!!
thanks Karen. it's been so long i've forgotten how much i hate my laptop.
well shit. i go get a beer and it's already two outs.
BOOOOOOOOOOOO
Beckett looked clean shaven and with a haircut.
No, I was wrong. He's still got the hair thing on his chin going on.
Spank...Do you have TWC now?
Nope. still watching on the Dish. Todays and Thursdays game are televised on MLB TV.
Dre doubles in Agon. 1-0 with 1 out in the second.
dre!
Where is Cincinatti anyways? Ohio? J/k
Spanky...Does it matter???
hit the bill of his helmet. then he flies out.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson 9m
We won the series against The Rockies. A good win against the Reds yesterday as we try to win this series as well! #Dodgers
first time i see the outfield with kemp in left dre in center and puig in right. it's as if an earthquake hit and the outfield shifted to the left.
i wonder if Sterling follows Magic on the twitters.
puig double. that should have been a single me thinks.
Agon looked really bad on that strike 3 swing.
Matty strikes out for the second time with RISP.
that was close.
aw fuck. left puig on second. that calls for more beer.
Boys on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. We've got a big time rally going here.
Dee with the RBI. 2-0 Blue.
HanRam singles in 2 more. 4-zip.
HanRam picked off 1st for 3rd out. 4-0 Dodgers mid of 5.
Becks shaken after beaning Cozart. Josh down at homeplate while Cozart is helped up and takes his base.
Boys get another run in 6th, 5-1 For the Good.
My spidey sense is telling me I've lost Spank =(
Dusty reporting in.
But are you here to hang with me??
Yasiel has got to learn to slide. I can't believe that this organization has not seen to that. Now he's grabbing at right hammy but staying in.
Dusty's more of a love-'em-and-leave-'em type
5-10-0. Good box score line so far
(loves Spanky)
(leaves him)
Score? I got pulled away from the game.
Orel...I figured one of you guys would be on PGT duty and show up here eventually!
Agon doubles in Puig. 6-0.
I AM LE CURE says AGon
Oh sure. Now you all show up!!
My Man strikes out for the third time.
Not a good night for MKW's.
Dre gets nailed by pitch. Maybe some payback?
Timing is everything, Karen
Beckett plunk someone?
Yeah, he beaned Cozart but was genuinely shaken up by it. I don't think any payback was called for this time.
Sorry, Karen. For these early games, I don't get back from work until around 7 at least so miss first part of game and, more importantly, the GT.
Always here in spirit, though!
And spirits!
Maholm called in to suck for an inning or so.
Maholm in and immediately gives up a double.
All is forgiven, Dust.
Oh no. Perez warming up. A 6 run lead may not be enough.
I am starting to feel bad for Maholm
Not rolling with Maholmies
Maholm and Perez is not the middle relief I would prefer, if given my preference.
Are you rolling on Maholm Drive, Sax?
Cozart smokes one for the RBI. Actually, it was nice to see him get back into the box and get the hit right after the beaning. Perez coming in. 6-1 Dodgers.
Mahon saw four batters, and got one out and gave up three hits.
I don't feel bad for Maholm, I just feel bad that he is pitching for us in the first place
Should have beaned him harder.
I'm not sure who is the lesser of two evils...Maholm or Perez.
Gotta jump off for an hour or so, boys and girls. Hold down the fort!
Go Dodgers!
Perez with the lucky strike 3
Perez lucky Mesoraco was held at 3rd
Donnie has JP up again. I can feel my elbow ligaments tearing
no walks, please
gift strike
grounder to short gets him out of it
All that and only one run given up? Lucky
I hope AJ during this DL stint has been watching film of Perez and has a fix
Perez was lucky that wasn't a walk.
It feels worse than it is, especially when he goes to 3 balls with the bases loaded. That feels like they score .5 runs
Droop with a single
they are determined to put me to bed on west coast time
Maybe A.J. can fix Colletti too
FB...I was thinking its awfully late in your part of the country!
2-0 Fist over Bum in 7th.
Fist over Bum like the Sword of Damocles
this is like a well-played home game for me. Sadly we don't play well at home
Charley extra busy jinxing Wilson
Votto's broken bat went into the stands where it was a danger to the fans 5 hours ago
That's very considerate of him
wow, Rojas stays with the hard smash to get the double play
UJTD!
Brian isn't fooling anyone.
Cmon, BWil, quit messing around
that'll work
Always an adventure
Fist still over Bum
Please don't strike out again, Matty.
Matty didn't listen to me, strikes out for the 4th time tonight.
Cincy fans get free pizza, we get the win. Fair split
That'll do it. Party time in Cincy!
there we go, great game, fellas
partymakintime!
Gnite all!
If the baseball gods are with us we'll even pickup a game on the hated ones.
we make party!
Kemp, 0-for-4 with 4 Ks. Come on, Bison.
SF loses 2-1
FOOTSTEPS!
