Yep, we're really struggling for opposing pitcher jokes.
Dan Haren (13-10, 3.99) vs. Tyler Matzekptlk (5-10, 4.23)
The Dodgers look to win four-straight for only the third time this year. (Remember when they couldn't do it at all?) To do so, they'll have to get Mr. Matzekptlk to say his own name backwards. And preferably early, so they can attack the soft underbelly of the Rox bullpen like they did last night.
Speaking of DC villains, Dan Haren's been a lot like Two-Face this year. The coin's been landing on "good Haren" the last few starts. Where will it land tonight?
The Dodgers' Magic Number for the West is Dee Gordon (9). The Magic Number for the Postseason is Juan Uribe (5). It's getting real, kids! GO BLUE!

Looks like Matty and Yasiel had words in the dugout last night. Anyone know the details?
Kemp refused to address it with reporters
Dodgers go down 1-2-3 in the 1st
Bad Haren tonight
9 pitches in and Rox score a run.
10 pitches in and Rox score second run.
Shit, not one of those nights.
Walk, single, GO, WP. 2-0 COL
Ah. I see where the coin landed.
Haren needs 8 more innings for his $10 million player option to kick in. He might not make it
3-0 Rox going to third.
Haren with a 1-2-3 3rd
back-to-back singles from Matty and SVS to start the 4th
and howdy, yall!
Turner hits into a double play
I know our record vs lefties is good but it never feels like we hit well against them
Uribe Ks
Like Bergman last night, this guy doesn't throw much in the 90s, yet he's clowning us so far
Épale, FB!
Stubbs with a leadoff single
Bad Haren
can we stick Haren in the humidifier?
I can't remember the last time I've watched Haren pitch well. I've been avoiding him during this recent good stretch, initially to avoid the inevitable disappointment, then to not jinx him. I wish I hadn't turned on the game tonight
balls
Napoleon Dickerson is 5-7 all time vs Haren
the really stupid thing is, we're not out of this. But we have to start pitching at some point.
ugh, the though of Correia coming in gave me shivers
thought
5 runs, 4 hits and a walk but nobody left on base so far
Let's get 2 runs this inning
Haren follows an AJ single with a single of his own, and doesn't get thrown out at first
2 innings in a row with the first 2 guys on
Dee tries to hit it into a double play but luckily he's fast, Haren out at second, AJ to 3rd
With the speed of AJ and Haren's lack of hustle, I wonder if they could have gone 4-5-6 for the double play
dammit, Puig gets lucky on a couple of pitches but unlucky with a called 3rd strike
Matzek hits 96 on the gun. I stand corrected
Adrian flies to center to finish off the spoiled inning
could have used a run or two there
damnation, I am still stewing over Puig's K last inning. That was about the last thing he could do there
good inning for Haren
Dodgers outhitting the Rockies 7-4
Another leadoff single, this time for Kemp
SVS with a single, 1st and 2nd, no outs for the 3rd straight inning
wild pitch, Kemp and SVS move up
Turner rips a double into the gap, Kemp and SVS score! 2-5 good guys
Uribe doubles over Stubbs' head, Turner had to hold up to see if he caught it and was out at home
Turner hurting, they are looking at the tag
fuck, review confirmed the out
shitshitshit, that was a waste
Turner seems OK
but limping
Hanley is the tying run!
Dee safe on a well-placed infield hit, Uribe to third, AJ to second
RANCHO ARDIENDO
Puig rung up on the way low strike again
The worst way to strike out. Backwards K
Scott Elbert in
@Orel, agreed. Puig got jobbed twice on that low "strike" but maybe you shouldn't take it the second time
Elbert gives up the hardluck single that's knocked down by Turner up the middle. I don't think Hanley makes that play either
I really should be going to bed
SF 1, ARI 0, bot 4
oh gawd, I forgot how much I hated Dinger. Why is he always down there behind the plate? Doesn't he have some kids to terrify?
Or dreams to haunt?
OK League has sent me to bed
Keep fighting, yall!
Good work by Jamey Wright, I note.
Gnats up 2-1 in the 7th, too.
@Karen re Matty and Puig
Clearly they were fighting over you.
pgt up
Yasiel, we're not going to fight about this, okay?
Matty, I think I told you, I'm a lover, not a fighter!
