Jamey Wright (5-4, 4.30) vs. Jacob Turner (5-10, 6.20).
I've been stranded with a blank tv (Thanks to the hacks at TWC) Even had to listen to Charley for the games But I'm going to take a shit On Security Benefit If I have to hear that fucking commercial with the grandpa and the kid one more goddamn time
Today, it's Wright. (Donnie is crazy.) But Wright just may be the lunatic we're looking for. Just try to last And don't throw BP You may be old, but that's okay; you're Jamey Wright.

This is why Saxy is the best
This GT helps make yesterday go away.
So do the Bloody Marys and the electroshock therapy.
No way to watch this one today? Pisses me off, but could be a blessing in disguise.
Glad you called out that Security Benefit commercial. If our bullpen doesn't kill me, this commercial will. Gnomes and I broke it down on our way over to SoSG Fest the other day, in fact. A grandfather using the phrase "Lights out" - utter bullshit. And the way that little shitweasel kid says "homer" makes me insane.
Don't even get me started on Corky's commerical...
I hate that commercial and I hate Billy Joel.
Dusty: saves whales, not citrus trees
Also, I saw someone with a SOSG shirt (#6) in the Stadium 5K today.
"an" SOSG shirt
Greg: you may have spotted AC! Will try and get confirmation
@Greg
Yes! It was longtime reader @themunson.
Nope, it wasn't AC (but he did run it)
He smiled big for a selfie and then went back to "normal face."
It's shocking enough that there are any Sons who are in shape/sober enough enough to run a 5K!
Which pretty much narrows it down to AC given those criteria.
Besides this being one of the classic GTs, thanks too for it serving as a reminder to me of how much I hate Billy Joel.
at least 40% of Billy Joel's songs are about masturbation
That's the kind of information one doesn't get on other Dodger blogs.
Raining at Wrigley. Got heavy, the tarp slowly came out, then the rain stopped, so tarp is being brought back in. This one is shaping up nicely already, innit?
And we all know the Wrigley grounds crew is a solid bunch. They almost snuck out a win all by themselves vs the Giants a month back
Can't be underscored enough: Kevin Correia is so shitty that we are starting Jamey Wright over him.
SoSG Delino is slated to pitch the middle innings for the Dodgers today.
Giants @ Padres at 1p, Vogelsong vs Kennedy
SoSG had to use his LifeAlert at the bottom of that staircase yesterday. "I've fallen and I can't get up!"
Stoopid Rams. Stoopid turnovers.
fucking refs. weak fucking sauce on that penalty call.
2-0 lead!
Wright sandwiches a Baez single between strikeouts of Coghlan and Rizzo
One shaky inning: down
Just saw the highlights. Can't believe Puig ran through the stop sign AND glared back at the third-base coach for bad measure. Sure, he scored...but come on, Yasiel!
And then HanRam missed a HR by inches, scoring AGon on the double, but it's 2-0 LA anyway.
From the audio, sounds like everyone is jawing at Bundy at 3B. People salty at the end of this trip I guess. I know I am.
Gordon smokes one but Rizzo snares the liner for the third out in the top of the second, stranding AJ Ellis at third.
2-0 LA
@ Dusty - see if this works.
http://88.80.11.29/81629/watch-los-angeles-dodgers-vs-chicago-cubs
don't click any links and let the add play out. should work,holmes. repeat if it doesn't work the first time. it will eventually.
goddammit ump, that was a strike
Jamey nearly gets the double play
Are you Szczur about that?
Jamey Wright gets the first out of the second with his third strikeout of the game. But then he yields a walk and a force. Man on first, two out.
Fake J Truner grounds a single through the right side
Wright had Turner 0-2 to the pitcher, and gave him a meatball that was smoked for a single. Men on first and second now.
And, Coghlan gets a bloop single to score Szczur. 2-1 LA.
Dammit, Jamey.
Frias up in the pen
geez Donnie, I know it's a bullpen game but you don't have to yank Wright yet. Don't panic
Uribe snares one at third to preserve the lead. 2-1 after two.
Does that work on a TRS-80, Spanky?
Uribe snags the Baez liner to end the hard-luck inning
DAMMIT!
That worked, Spank! Thanks homie. The entire kitchen and bar staff of [redacted] thanks you!
First pitch single from Puig to lead the third
PB lets Puig get to second; AGon hits one to first to get Puig over to third. One out.
DBT off the antibiotics. Beer check Sierra Nevada Flipside Red IPA
KEMP BOMB!
4-1 DODGERS
matty goes yard
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
sorry, I missed that: what was HanRam's baserunning blunder?
@ DB
Right on,brother.
@DBT: Catch you on the flipside!
I FUCKING CALLED THAT MATTY BOMB! Even called the right pitch.
Got dayum I called that shizz.
These GTs are starting to feel like the old GTs of yore again. Lots of comments, lots of drinking, lots of sarcasm
and sometimes, lots of crying
(cries)
Of course, Frias gets one out and Charley starts talking about how we'd be excited to get three innings from Frias...and just then, Valbuena gets a one-out double.
STOP JINXING US CHARLEY
That's a great point re the GTs, Sax. I was thinking the same thing earlier this weekend.
Alcantara doubles home Valbuena, so it's 4-2 Dodgers.
This is going to be a slugfest of a game.
@DB: So what are you drinking right now?
I confess I'm not, so that has to change
Cadillac margarita, my brotha! Switching to XX Ambar in next round so I can regulate.
Valaika, three-pitch K. 4-2 through 3.
Rick Monday is making my fucking ears bleed!!! might have to restart the penicillin
Rick Monday, to me, is the lesser of all the non-Vin evils.
Okay, order restored. Kona Brewing, FIre Rock Pale Ale.
fire rock pale ale! excellent choice!
Frias gest a 1-2-3 inning in the fourth! 4-2 through 4
i'd rather have Mia Hamm kick me in the nuts than listen to Nomar.
Well done, Sax.
There are other things I'd rather have Mia Hamm do to my nuts.
Not scribble on them, though.
Cubs broadcast guys talking about the bubble machine.
they appreciate the bubble machine fun. say whatever goes on in their dugout is cool.
We also need a bubble butt machine.
BTW thanks for the Fake Turner reference earlier in the thread. That was rich.
Bubble butt machine? Uribe?
Puig hurt?
oh no, who is hurt?
sounds like Puig's ankle? He scores anyway on a Kemp basehit, 5-2
kemp brings in puig. cinco-2
5-4? yowsa
Frias needs some of that Fire Rock Pale Ale
hope the Padres win today. Our bullpen is dog shit
Frias in trouble here. 5-4 LA
Way to go, Frias. Swinging strikeout to limit the damage. 5-4 LA through five.
whew!
Uribe with a sweet double to the right-center gap. One out.
Dodgers are second to the Rox in the NL for doubles
Urine double. need more runs
Rosscup getting a visit to the mound here
Rosscup.
We really could benefit from some rest to the starters here. Puig's ankle, Uribe's groin, Wilson's beard
Charley with yet ANOTHER failed HR call.
"Well hit to left... but the wind cuts it down!"
Charley, you have no clue
Steiner you mutt.
Epale Everyone!!!
Great GT Sax. Everyone remember that the last 6 games will be televised on KDOC so we can all live and die with our Boys this last week.
SVS with a pinch-hit double up the third-base line! Scores Uribe, it's 6-4 Dodgers
Gordon Ks. He's having a bad 0-for-4 game here
Perez with a 1-2-3 inning, with 2 Ks. 6-4 through 6
Giants and Padres scoreless, top 3
Yasiel's ankle looking okay on that overthrow.
Puig reaches on a fielding error, advances to second on the errant catch
C'mon Bison. Bring 'em in.
AGon singles to left, Puig actually listens to Bundy this time and holds at third base
Bundy gets some respect?
Noman and Steiner are scared each time Puig is running the bases. Fun.
Nomar*
Cubs guys love Puigs hustle
Hot damn Matty! Good job!!
Kemp rib eye!
watchale,y'all!! Kemp is on fire!!!
Please bullpen don't be douche bags... Hold this fucking lead!
7-4, AGon on third and Kemp on second, Crawford up with one out.
Rancho alert!
Crawford legs out an infield single up the first-base side--A-Gon couldn't advance, but at least Crawford reached!
goddamn! Crawdude is fast
So here's Uribe!
Dodgers hitting .180 with rancho ardiendo. Ugh.
There's a pretty cute brunette behind the plate to the right, about three rows back.
I don't feel like a three-run lead is safe at all
Matty showing off his gooood hands.
Circus catch in right for Kemp.
Baez ends the battle by flying to right field for out #1.
Paco in to relive Perez.
Yesterday I heard on broadcast that we are worst team in MLB w Rancho, but one of better teams with non-Ranchpo RISP.
"Perez with a 1-2-3 inning"
Was that actually typed out?Thought I'd never see it.
We best win this within my existing 45% laptop battery remaining.
Chris Perez did a good job while in there. I keep thinking he can't surprise me but he continues to do so.
Puig catches it for out #2
All the talk is about the wind and temperature
"Chris Perez did a good job while in there. I keep thinking he can't surprise me but he continues to do so."
Was that actually typed out?Thought I'd never see it.
Paco Ks Valbeuna for out #3!
7-4 Dodgers through seven
Giants and Padres still scoreless, bottom 4
there are no 9 volt batteries laying around where you at,Dust??
Friars hitless going into fifth.
Can I screw with Vogelsong's mojo long distance?
here we go again.
Castillo gives one a ride off Baez. 7-5 Blue. I'm getting uncomfortable now.
@Spank
There were several 9-volts, but I sapped their energy by licking them to get a secondary buzz.
I'm uncomfortable, too. I didn't have a fresh beer for about 2 minutes.
gonna start calling this nomar and steiner announcing team "ZzzQuil" cause they are putting me to sleep.
booze status: iced french vanilla cafe con canela
Somebody quick get Dusty some more 9 volts and a cold beer!!
@Spank
Did you get that drink at Giants' park or what?
Phew. Baez gets thru the eighth.
7-5 after 8.
Jesus, don't fuck this up.
^I meant that as a prayer
"Jesus. Don't fuck this up".
I close my prayers with that each night.
Padres up 1-0. I guess I can mess with Vogelsong long distance!
Matty showing why he has his own stable of whores today!
@ DB
oui
Urine knocks in a run
ochocinco
Tighten your seatbelts everybody, we're going to the ninth.
MORE BEER
MORE WALKS
oh wait
MORE SHITTY BULLPEN PERFORMANCE
fucking hell. AGone doing his Buckner impression.
stop fucking around with the curve and just throw the heat,mofo
We gonna fuck this up?
Uno mas
Do not fuck this up.
Uno mas cerveza, verdad.
Kenley got the lather going
Magic number now 4!!
oui make party!!!
WE MAKE MAGIC NUMBER 4 PARTY!!!
FUCK YEAH we did not fuck this up!
Kenley scared me a little there.
8-5 Final!
I still have 22% batt'ry, too!
Do we dare hope for a Padre win??
Pod Rays up 2-0 in the 6th. I think I need to pop in to their SoSG equivalent blog and urge them on.
@Karen
Gnomes is pulling for the Giants.
Dusty...Not our Gnomes! I just can't believe that!!
Say it aint so Gnolmes
I'll leave it to his tortured explanation. And he's at [redacted] today so can't even defend himself.
"Gnolmes" - nice one.
I tried to go over to the Gas Lamp blog thingy and encourage the Pods to keep beating shit out of the Gnats. It's on that SB Nation platform so I signed up. Then was told I had to wait a day to post any comments. What a crock of shit (they are already missing out on my masterful insight). What a shitass platform. Our platform and design may be...classic...but at least we're not on that shite.
hedley
SD 8, SF 2, end 7
Padres scored seven runs in the sixth and seventh. Vogelsong got torched for four runs (2 earned). and the bullpen didn't provide much more help.
Giants lose!
Yay!! Magic number is now 3. The Boys will have this wrapped up by Wednesday.
Three is the magic number...yes it is.
cc: FB
alrighty then.
WOOP! Got to have Soul!
@FB
Yeah what a concept - collectively watching a sports team we all support, and commenting at the same time in a GT.
Can't wait!
Although I'll actually be at the Yard tomorrow night.
