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.
Dan Haren (12-10, 4.17) vs. Ian Kennedy (10-12, 3.75).
If Game 1 of this Padres series was a tantalizing preview of the Dodgers offense of full display, yesterday's Game 2 was a cautionary tale about poor defense and missed opportunities. What will tonight's rubber match bring? Dan Haren has been laboriously restoring his good name here in the second half, and the Dodgers are going to need him if they want to stave off the surging Giants.

Mattingly has Puig batting leadoff!
Thanks for posting the lineup, Karen. No excuse for the Dodgers to lose now
From MLB.com:
"The biggest thing is, we need him," Mattingly said of Puig, whose typically late arrival for batting practice Wednesday was excused because of a family issue, according to the club.
"There's always stuff going on with different guys, but Yasiel basically got us to this point and everything we've tried to do so far is to try to get him going, take the pressure off, the same we'd do for anybody. It's time to get him rolling.
"It's no secret that we have a big series coming up [in San Francisco] and hopefully he plays well tonight and keeps it going the rest of the year. At the end of the day, we know we need him. When he's going good, we're a better team. It's time. Sink or swim."
McCutchen had a sweet inside-the-park HR tonight in Philly.
RA for Puig
RA and full count for Puig
backwards K for Puig
Puig Destroyer
Puig: 0-for-2 with 3 LOB so far. Donnie's move not paying off yet
Haren wriggles out of a second and third / one out situation. Well done Dan
Fuck, Hanley. How do you get fucking thrown out at first like that? If I were Donnie I'd say any mother effer who gets gunned down at first the rest of the season is going to get their nuts scribbled on. God dammit.
That is all.
Uribe makes it 3-0!
Nice to see Crawdaddy & Uribe teaming up for some Geico
Giants and diamondbacks scoreless through six
A's lost again. Ha ha!
Can Gibson pinch hit for someone?
Why are we anti-A's again?
I'd rather them win so we can laugh at the Angels.
Not anti-A's at all, but I do enjoy that they seemed like a mortal lock to win their division
And I really do want to be able to gloat about how right I was that trading away Cespedes was the worstest idea everer.
CRAWDADDY four for four! Wow. Keep it up, Crawdaddy.
Gnats up 2-0 in the 7th and look like they'll win this one.
We should play the Pads more often.
And the Dbags, too.
Bring on the Giants!
Fucking Gnats up 4-nil.
Dodgers gonna have to take matters into their own hands next week.
Or this weekend. . .whenever.
And the Rox.
