Game 68 Thread: June 12 @ Reds, 9:30a

Greinke grits!

Zack Greinke (8-2, 2.62) vs. Alfredo Simon (8-3, 3.15).

Breakfast baseball! The Dodgers need a win to avoid a split with the Reds (although they've already ensured a winning road trip). If Greinke doesn't channel his inner Gretzky, his perceived lack of grit could provide grist for the disenchanted Dodger fan mill. In other news, this just in: Frosted Flakes are gr-r-reat!

Turner batting second, "Cookie" Rojas in the eight-hole. Interesting.

Not necessarily hopeful, but interesting.

I might be grasping at straws, but I think they'll grind one out.

Steve Sax said...

Griminy you guys. Get a grip.

Hideo Nomo said...

Got some biscuits and gravy for the occasion.

(No, really, I did.)

Jesus Christ it's been a long time since I posted in here.

I'm grateful for my radio this morning.

Could have been grisly, but the damage was limited.

Hey, whattya know, I found a reason to use the mute feature on Twitter.

2-1 Reds. B6.

QuadSevens said...

Runners on the corners, 2 out, SVS pinch hitting for Greinke.

QuadSevens said...

SVS with the K.

Turner is limping after breaking up a double play. He's been HBP today too.

Heya Q7!

QuadSevens said...

Bottom 8, still 2-1 bad guys. League coming in. I'm going to lunch.

QuadSevens said...

Hi there Orel.

QuadSevens said...

Leadoff double given up by League. Got a feeling my lunch won't stay down long.

QuadSevens said...

Sacrifice, and a WP scores a run.

Hideo Nomo said...

I try to be positive, but the last two games have felt like they were over early and I wished they'd just fast forward to the loss already. Hate that feeling.

Orel said...

AND the Giants are doing their part by losing. Dodgers aren't taking full advantage

Dusty Baker said...

Fuck the Giants!

Dodgers mounting a token rally in the ninth. Hanley unable to PH

#Dodgers lose, 4-1. If #SFGiants win today, LA will come home right where it left, at 8.5 GB.
