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.
Brett Anderson (8-8, 3.36) vs. Jake Peavy (4-6, 4.21).
The Dodgers go for their third no-hitter in their last 10 games against Peavy tonight — it won't be easy, given that Peavy sometimes leaves eminently hittable balls up in the zone, but I'm confident the bats will find a way to miss. Meanwhile, it won't matter if Anderson throws his own no-hitter, because he won't get any offensive support. SAD TROMBONE

@ karen
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
just don't suck tomorrow night, I'm going again, but I'm also a glutton, so there's that...
Hate boiling over...
Here we go..........
Two-out double by Crawford, but Oyster Pubes flies to Crawford to end the threat.
0-0 through 0.5.
leadoff double by Rollins!
wait, take that back...Rollins was "sacrificed" to second base?! WOW
dammit, A-Gon hits it reasonably hard, but right to left for a fly out. Two out.
We're gonna strand Rollins.
peavy is pitching around turner
JTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Turner! He gets jacked on the called strike two (I actually agreed, it was a strike; but he was walking to first anyway), and then fouls one off, and then strokes a double to left-center to EASILY score Rollins!
1-0
BOOOOOOOO
orange-fedora-wearing joker behind the plate: you are lame.
Dre already down 0-2
valiant AB, but Dre flies to center for out #3.
1-0 through 1
DODGERS WILL NOT BE NO-HIT TONIGHT
NO SAD TROMBONE
1-0 Boys....
joc pederson, .083 avg last 24 games. Yikes.
Joc flies out to second base. really pathetic, Joc.
1-0 LA through two
Peavy at 34 pitches. Anderson at 26 through two.
Blanco frickin slides into first and is called safe. ridiculous.
Giant on first with none out
bean this mutt
holy hell these gnat announcers are the worst homers. i'm ready to hang myself
find the damn strike zone, Brett
game is tied. we're doomed
FREAKING ANDERSON
still one out and the bases juiced. the word "fucked" comes to mind.
Pubes looked really bad on that
aint that a bitch
Another Cody Fucking Ross.
Wait, is this game nationally televised? Because we're sucking again.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So two runs come in on the infield hit? Of course they do.
Dodgers come back to the dugout looking beaten.
MLB Network,Saxy
I'm telling you guys, Chutley brought a curse with him.
If the Mendoza line is .200, what is the .100 line? Pederson?
^45
Spanky...We may need to break out the rally thong...
Pence has got the Marty Feldman eyes thing going on...
I'M SORRY I'M CHANNELING MY ANGER IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
Karen i've been wearing it all year. hasnt worked for shit. i should wash it.
Spanky...and I thought leaving last years crust on it was a good idea....
yeah that's right. sit down Plinko
nope,Karen. crust was a bad idea for both the Dodgers and my unmentionables.
Vinny is spinning yarns tonight so I'm only at like a hatehateHate level so far.
This could be going better...
worst offense of all time.
Pubes got his bell rung.....finally something to cheer about.
C'mon Joc. Do something here...
coome on JoK. do something you mutt
Pederson getting the Bronx cheer at DS.
jesus christ. muttingly and mcgwire have JoK all screwed up.
Man, remember when Bundy coached 3rd and the team knew the axiom: you throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball. Those were good days. Those were days free of this plague know as Roenicke.
For shits sake wtf Blue??
I still think Sandy is our best bet as our #3 pitcher and as our entire bullpen.
My enthusiasm is waning....
we may get out of this inning unscathed.
SCORE SOME RUNS GODDAMNIT
SCORE SOME RUNS GODDAMNIT
rollins gets a hit. amazing
GET A HIT
AGONE!!!!!! WE ARE TIED!!!!
A FUCKING GONE!!!
Roenicke still can't stop the long ball.
I'm sure he's working on it, though.
holy shit, we've got life. 3-3 with a two-run A-Gon HR
@Jason, I think I saw a hand from behind the wall try to swat the A-Gon HR ball back onto the field. I assume that was Roenicke's hand.
WHY DOES ETHIER HAVE TO BAT?
I BET ROENICKE WISHES HE WAS KAREEM
YOU'RE WELCOME
Dre bomb? Dre bomb!
The water Roenicke soaks the bats in before each game has finally dried out
Future HOFer Avila in...Lets all hold our collective breath...
OH SNAP. THAT WAS QUICK
...and breathe...
DRE IS ON MY FOREVER SHIT LIST.
JOK HITS A SINGLE.THATS CRAY.
@spank: I can't leave 'Dre on my forever shit list because he got noted wife beater Milton Bradley out of town
HUNTER VS. AUSTIN. IT DONT GET ANY WHITER THAN THIS. JUST SAYING.
lmao^^^^
All we needed was a Colt and a Sebastian playing the parts of catcher and home umpire to complete the most white at-bat ever.
TRUE THAT,JASON. I'M JUST SICK OF DRE AND HIS SHITTY ATTITUDE.
Middle of the lineup, I run Kenley out here.
^That white space is less white than Hunter vs. Austin.
Peralta coming off DL tomorrow??
shit.
100^^^
Speaking of white, White Loney is up.
HIDE THE COMBUSTIBLES.
Throw at Pubes!
Dre denies Pubes. Two outs now. Great work, Dre.
Wow this feels like a playoff game.
LOL Spanky.
FUCKING HELL
Why isn't Kenley in there for the third out?
Byrd. I fucking knew it.
FUCK!
Dusty....cause Muttingly is making the calls^^^
This bullpen would screw up a free lunch. I fucking swear I AM SO SICK OF THIS SHIT
THAT'S TWICE WITH THE BYRD TODAY,KAREN
Somewhere in heaven my mom is saying to my dad "They don't deserve to win".
THAT STRIKEOUT TO END THE INNING JUST PISSES ME OFF MORE.
@Karen
I was actually just thinking...well, we're going to go ahead and lose this one somehow but we didn't really deserve to win it anyway.
Nicasio forgot to take his anti-Roenicke pills today
I know Spank. How did we see that and no one else did? Freaking Gugga Bros should be paying us the big bucks.
J.P. Hoornstra @jphoornstra
Chase Utley has faced the new Giants' pitcher, Javier Lopez, 23 times in his career. He's still looking for his first hit.
Dusty...My mama is channeling through you!!
I PUT THE RALLY THONG ON BACKWARD BETWEEN INNINGS. MAYBE THAT WILL HELP THE MOJO.
FUCK YEAH
"You hired who? Roenicke? Fuck this, I'll give you a year." - Vin
I heart Aoki!!
I'm "channeling" Neeebs' mom.
CHUTLEY AT THIRD WITH ONE OUT. BEST BRING HIM IN OR ELSE
Poor Neeeb's mom. She never gets a night off....
AND HERE COMES ROMO. FUCK I HATE THE GNATS
Do you guys remember a few seasons ago someone said something about hating Romo and MB thought he was talking about Tony Romo and jumped all over him??? I miss our girl!!
Up to a hateHateHate now that jackass Romo is in. He is NOT the boy from Brawley!.
cc: Spanky
@Karen
Yeah that was a hilarious exchange.
ps- Fuck Tony Romo, too!
NEEEBS MOM "WORKS" MORE HOURS THAN A 7-ELEVEN
The back of Romo's head looks like the front of his head.
SVS fail
WEAK SAUCE
This would be a great spot for Crawdaddy to earn some regular playing time
WE SUCK
One thing I miss about Joe Torre, he didn't know any better and would use Kenley in an 8th inning tied game against the heart of the order because he had to "save" Broxton for the Save.
Damn it, Mattingly!
FUCK OFF ROMO AND WASH YER BEARD
Lead off double, and we choke.
1-2-3 for Kenley? Forgetaboutit
Hey, that's OUR bunting style!
I wonder where we would be without Agon...
MUTTINGLY BRINGS IN JANLEY WITH THE GAME TIED BUT DOESN'T BRING HIM IN WHEN WE HAVE THE LEAD. THAT'S THE DUDE I WANT MANAGING MY TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS.
That whole stealing a base thing seems so foreign, doesn't it?
My new little puppy is enduring her first Dodger/gnat game with me and every time I yell she jumps up and bites me.
Fuck Duffy. I don't even care that he's from Long Beach. Shaggy-looking dipshit.
(holds down fort)
ROLLINS!
J-Roll D!
Remember, Roenicke has no effect on the long ball
"Brandon Belt is going steady with the right-field foul line." —Vin
win-now-ass-holes clap clap clapclapclap
#JocWheels
Fuck, Roenicke is in Joc's ear.
@Karen
Up jumps the devil puppy?
Joc with a nice bunt.
WELL I GUESS HE HIT THE BALL
(still holding down fort)
Aim for Kettle One, A.J.
Fucking Saxon jinxed the bullpen by tweeting about their 13-inning scoreless streak.
I WOULD HAVE BATTED GREINKE INSTEAD OF THIS MUTT
I'M BACK!!!
SAFE!!
Stolen bases! What wizardry is this!?
STOLEN BASE? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT.
Fuck you, Bochy, you overrated dickbag.
SIDDOWN BRUCE
Bochy icing his own pitcher. Nice.
DID ROENICKE ASK FOR A REVIEW OF THE STOLEN BASE?
(lets go of fort)
YES!
(thanks orel)
was Pereza safe?
SHOULD HAVE LET MARY HART BAT INSTEAD OF ELLIS.
Spank was right, shoulda gone with Greinke. Goddammit, Ellis.
Peraza won't matter now that Rollins is up
Vin called strike one a ball
my feed is jumpy
matter of fact, so am i
Rollins with a little gamesmanship of his own. Nice.
we suck.
PUT A CORK IN IT ROMO
We suck so bad.
Ellis and Rollins both can't deliver in extras with a runner in scoring position. Weak sauce!
Going into extras with our bullpen???
My Sportsnet LA feed is jumpy, too. I was just about to ask if other people's feeds were the same way.
Mine is okay
Fuckin idiot Umpire. That was a balk. This game should be over.
Posey's getting fat.
FILL 'ER UP
John Jimson gave up a hit. What a shock
Byrd HBP. Beginning of the end.
That's about what I expected
MATCHES READY
Aaaand he hits the batter. Two on, all pissed off.
Jim Johnson is awful. My god don't do this to us.
Fucking idiot Johnson. Up 0-2 and hit him.
hitting byrd with a pitch is honestly the best outcome possible, considering
I see Jimson wears my least favorite number. Uh-huh.
Is Crawford's hair seaweed?
1-2 to Belt. Wonder how he'll fuck this up.
I mean Crawford
Men on second and third. Two outs with Juan Perez up. Whoever that is, he'll kill us probably.
this team does not deserve 205 comments
Pedro Moura @pedromoura 8s
Angels lose, go 10-19 in August, fall under .500. Their playoff odds will sink below 10%. Had been 11.6%. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/odds/
Juan Perez. Yeah that would be a new kind of pain
Out of it.
Juan Perez may as well be Eugenio Velez, we're still gonna lose
I MUST BE DREAMING. NO RUNS ALLOWED.
Nice news for a change, Orel!
Johnson wriggles off. Credit where credit is due
