Game 130 Thread: Aug. 22 vs. Mets, 7p

Dan Haren (10-10, 4.59) vs. Jonathon Niese (7-8, 3.50).

It's Justin Turner Bobblehead Night at Dodger Stadium!

Just kidding — but it should be. First, let's relive Turner's bacon-saving two-run home run last night, a blast that prevented the ignominy of losing a series to the woeful Padres.

Then let's give thanks to the Mets, since they're visiting us and all, for letting Turner go for basically no good reason. Turner is this year's spark plug, the invaluable bench player who's also proving his worth as a starter.

So, thanks, Mets! Let us repay you by beating you. It's the least we can do.

AJ Ellis GIDPs to end the sixth. He is horrible from the plate.

Haren Scarem nice outing. See it's not that hard

Dodgers score three in the 7th to make it 5-1. And they might need every run

AJ Ellis with an RBI double in the eighth! 6-1 LA

Jamey Wright pitching, so it's already 6-2, with one out in the ninth and a Met on first

My mlb.tv started buffering again, and then it said "the game has ended."

I take it, we won.
