Josh Beckett (4-4, 2.49) vs. Tyson Ross (6-6, 3.27).
The Padres are so excited to have the Dodgers in town today, the Padres' stadium giveaway this evening is a t-shirt focusing on the Dodgers (whose city of Los Angeles has a bigger font size than the Padres' logo). Look, I know the Padres' camouflage uniforms are pretty ugly, but envious green doesn't seem to be a very good color on the Padres, either.
But enough about the Mission Federal Credit Union sponsored promotions! We've got two starters with completely mediocre W-L records dueling tonight. But only one of those pitchers has a no-hitter this year, and that guy (Beckett) is 5-2 with a 2.41 ERA lifetime vs. the Padres. Meanwhile, Tyson, who is coming off walking seven batters in his last start against the Mariners, is a chicken. So will it be "Beat LA"? Or "Eat Tyson"?

Turner-Butera is fair play
Beckett-Turner Overdrive
My cousin said he was going to the game today and would get me a "Beat LA" tshirt. I thought he was talking smack as usual, but the Padres really are giving out Beat LA t's! Silly padres, what will they think of next.
Hanley stranded at second after a 1-out jamshot double down the right field line
not sure why I am back tonight after last night's shitshow
Booze Status: Founders Porter
I think we need to throw at Smith and break a rib or maybe a hand.
Seth Smith up after a 1-out walk to Cabrera. How many homers will he hit tonight?
I'm happy to say I fell asleep and missed last nights implosion.
Fuckheads score 3 to start the game in AZ
Droop guns down Cabrera at second
Watching Only the Lonely on TV. It has a great scene from old Comiskey
Heh Beckett lost count of the outs
@karen, you were lucky to have missed it
FB...I caught that little walk Becks made around the back of the mound after the third out too.
1-2-3 in the second 2nd
Had to check who the Fuckheads were. Can't they just rename the team?
first second I mean
@Orel I think it's like the Redskins situation. They can call themselves that but they won't have trademark protection
wow Amarista whistles one to short but Hanley tracks it down and throws him out at 1st
Droop with the leasoff single
Fuckheads has the official TM in my world.
Beckett gets a nice bunt down
Dee singles in Droop! 1-0 good guys
SpeeDee steals second and scoots to 3rd when the throw goes into center
Hanley with a medium fly to center, Dee beats the throw, 2-0 good guys!
Hanley and Dee with a warm embrace in the dugout as Puig grounds out. He looks gimpy still
With all the Dodgers fans at PetCo this is a borderline home game.
Now fuckheads 4 Douchebags 2.
Beckett strikes out the side in the 3rd
Hanley with a nice stop and flip to Dee to get the lead runner
Beckett gets around the leadoff single
Turner with a perfectly placed grounder to right to get us started
Turner swipes second on the delayed steal/wild pitch
For all of you out-of-market folks, this is the free game of the day
Beckett with a worthless at bat
Dee draws the walk
Hanley with a single to drive in Turner, Dee to 3rd, 3-0 good guys!
Hanley delivers. 3-0 Good Guys.
FB & Karen on the same page
hard smash off Beckett's shin for an infield single
nice play by Adrian to get the lead runner
Beckett gets Ross to pop up for the 3rd out
Matty goes down to get that ball for a single
A collective cheer rises to the heavens from Matt Kemp Whores everywhere.
Matty cut down trying to steal
A collective cry of "Why God?" rises to the heavens from Matt Kemp Whores everywhere.
Beckett gets throug the 6th despite the 2-out walk
When's the last time Kemp tried to steal a base?
5-4 Fuckheads
oh man, I can't stay awake, gonna pack it in.
Get us a win, yall!
Night, FB!!
It would be huge if Beckett could get through seven. He's at 92 pitches with one out.
Good job, Beckett! Now watch Donnie bring him out for the eighth.
Its really funny. My mom keeps asking why we aren't talking more on the blog and I keep explaining to her about the TWC debacle, but for some reason she remembers that FB is in Brooklyn and keeps asking "Is the boy in Brooklyn still awake?"
Dee doing his job making Torres nervous.
What is up with Torres hat?
What is up with Torres' cap? Either its our TV or dude has goiters growing on his dome.
What a stupid fucking cap their pitcher has on. It is one of the new one that has protection built in, but it makes him look like a penis head.
Vinny just mentioned it.
Elmer Fudd night?
I come all the way to (near RBN land) to watch the game, and I have to watch this penis head Elmer Fudd pitcher?
I at least hope that is protection and not some stupid Pharell trend.
Wow, it is such a joy to watch Dee run. AGon singles him in. 4-0 for the Good.
I stand by my goiter comment.
I love Karen's mom calling us out on the GT participation.
Maybe it's his cell phone.
White Flag Maholm in.
Like I said, the white flags a wavin'.
We got bitchslapped by Karen's mom! Time to step it up!
Maholm allows a run, it becomes a save situation, and you-know-who comes in
I thought Dusty was being a bit harsh. I was wrong. Torres' cap
FH 6, DB 4, top 8
Orel...Love the score update^
Dodgers up 4-1
SF up 6-4
Both games in the eighth
League is letting this get away
Fuck!!!
It is not Padres fans Vinny. That is their speakers.
Beckett pitched his heart tonight and the bullpen comes in like a bunch of fucking arsonists with their gas cans.
I want one of those hats. IDGAF.
Kenley warming up.
Karen getting chills down her spine.
All that two-out scoring by the Padres. I don't know why I've forgotten they always play us tough
how did we get out of the eighth?
well, that was quick. On to B9
@ Sax
Barely.
One down.
ONE OUT, BABY
One down. MDIL says Kenley doesn't look mean enough these days.
Remember when Jansen didn't walk anyone and threw 97 mph? Good times.
Fuck.
Nothing is ever easy with Kenley
Carlos Quentin on deck. I hate that mother fucking bastard.
Strike this fuckhead out. Then hit him.
In play, out(s)!
One more.
God that is a room service fastball.
Throw something dirty Jansen
SATURDAY NIGHT FOAM PARTY!!
Dirty dirty. Make that party.
Wow, Jansen gets the save. Sounded like a lot of LA Dodgers fans there!
karen has really picked up the cursing the last two nights. Let's keep this (relatively) clean, kids
Fuckheads up 6-4 in bot of 9th.
Uh, Dusty and I have been kind of encouraging her
Sorry Sax! Right on cue there I give the fuckhead update =(
