Game 130 Thread: Aug. 31 vs. Giants, 7p

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

If I weren't dying of ulcers, I'd say this was a great game.

Steve Sax said...

why do the Giants have PH batting .368, and we have Chase Utley's .210?

Steve Sax said...

@Cliff: If Woody had gone to the police...

Steve Sax said...

@Cliff I am still laughing at your comment (10:58p). Brilliant

Steve Sax said...

Can't play MPQ with all these ulcers!

Dusty Baker said...

If I weren't dying of this game, I'd at least have ulcers.

Dusty Baker said...

0-3 playing Dead Pool Daily Whole Enchilada node today. I gave up. That last wave with panther is soul crushing.

Jason said...

Chase Utley manages to ground into a triple play despite leading off the inning. Baseball historians are confounded by this play in the box score until they realize Ron Roenicke was prominently involved.

Paul said...

Utley is gonna die and disappear like Yoda soon.

karen said...

JASON!!! That is so funny!!

Dusty Baker said...

Hey look! Some weak ground balls. Giants would have scored six runs on those two nubbers.

Paul said...

Turner can hit this guy.

Paul said...

But he won't! Heartless.

spank said...

FUCK.LOOKS LIKE I PICKED THE WRONG TIME TO PICK THE WRONG TIME

karen said...

Still giggling at Jason's comment.

Orel said...

Jimson again? Pushing our luck here.

Dusty Baker said...

This is like standing on a mount and thumbing our noses at the Baseball Gods by keeping Jimson in.

Orel said...

Too much orange behind home plate.

Paul said...

Jack Johnson plays some cool beach tunes.

spank said...

MUTTINGLY SHOULD BE MANAGER OF THE YEAR...AT THE DOLLAR TREE

Jason said...

I hope they sent Greinke home to get a good night's sleep

Orel said...

"Chopper Back to Johnson" sounds like a Van Damme movie

karen said...

I wonder what it says about us that this is actually what we all do for fun...bunch of sick, twisted mofos.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Hello, beautiful blonde mom. Lady Luck part deux?

Orel said...

But enough about the Dodgers!

Jason said...

Wow, just wow!

Orel said...

Another scoreless inning for Jimson. Quick, give him a two-year $17M contract!

spank said...

GOTTA WIN HERE CAUSE WE'RE FUCKED. NO MORE PLAYERS LEFT.

Jason said...

Anti-entroenicke field engaged

Cliff Beefpile said...

Sick, masochistic, twisted mofos. That sounds about right.

Dusty Baker said...

That Jack Johnson comment cracked me up, PJ.

Paul said...

Crawford is thinking it is way past his knees' bedtime .

karen said...

Kid K hitting??

Dusty Baker said...

I'm getting sleepy and wanting this to end. My good buddy on the Least Coast is still up watching, loyally, so I can't tap out before he does.

Dusty Baker said...

Yep, Kid K PH. IF they get there.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Kershaw coming in to pinch hit. I like it...though Greinke would be better.

karen said...

You go Crawdaddy!!!

Orel said...

Crawdaddy with a Giantesque bloop single

spank said...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DON'T GIVE ME HOPE FUCKERS

Dusty Baker said...

You godaddy!

Paul said...

Is Joc Pederson in the stands now?

Dusty Baker said...

Greinke has to pitch tomorrow so probably not the best move to PH him.

Orel said...

Anybody else worried about Clayton PHing? Worried he'll be HBP or get hurt somehow

Cliff Beefpile said...

That group of orange-wearing bastards behind home plate is really getting to me. It's like a black hole of douche.

Dusty Baker said...

Pederson is cleaning out the bathroom stalls on top deck now. And it ain't a rookie hazing thing.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Peraza has Miley Cyrus teeth.

spank said...

I'M NOT WORRIED,OREL. NOTHING CAN GO WRONG WITH KERSHAW BATTING.NOT WITH THE DODGERS.

Paul said...

Kershaw the least you can do for this team is get a walk off hit.

Paul said...

Get back in the hole Bochey. You ain't Phil Jackson

Cliff Beefpile said...

Nice. Way to get screw yourself out of any close calls now, Casilla.

spank said...

THAT'S A WRAP

Orel said...

Are we even over .500 this month?

karen said...

This game has me so hyper now I won't be able to fall asleep until Thursday.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

Kershaw at the plate....
Um.... that's our option for Pinch Hitting?

Was Latos busy inking?

Jason said...

Chris Hatcher: Throwing nothing but fastballs since 2015

Paul said...

Fuck Dodgers! I have my waterobics class in like 5 hours. I was gonna learn the froggy disco.

Dusty Baker said...

Wow that ball really carried.

karen said...

That really carried...

Cliff Beefpile said...

A pair of very loud outs. I guess that's the best you can hope for from Hatcher.

karen said...

That one was kinda too close...

karen said...

We could probably do better with Teri Hatcher.

spank said...

HIT HIM IN THE PUBES

Jason said...

I'm a quarter beer away from having to use the Amazon 1 hour booze delivery.


Screw you, Roenicke!

Cliff Beefpile said...

A very gnats-esque weak slap hit for Poser, because of course.

Orel said...

And of course that brings up Byrd

Dusty Baker said...

Hate to disagree with Vin, but he said it was a good piece of hitting. The hell it was; Posey just threw his bat out there and it happened to bounce off the bat to a space where someone wasn't able to catch it. No credit to Pubes on that.

karen said...

You hear that Spank? 14 rbi's in first 5 games with gnats for our buddy Marlon.

Orel said...

Gonna walk him

Cliff Beefpile said...

Who IS that Marlins jersey-wearing guy?

Cliff Beefpile said...

SIDDOWN, BYRD!

spank said...

*FAINTS*

Orel said...

WOW struck him out!

Dusty Baker said...

Marlins Man

Orel said...

#GoMoronGo

Jason said...

I DO have an interview with the federal government tomorrow. Come on guys, I haven't had to sweat the feds since that unfortunate night in Mexico.

Hideo Nomo said...

Karina just favorited a tweet where we essentially called her husband a hobo.

Orel said...

Don't blame me, I voted for Kontos

Dusty Baker said...

+1 on the Simpsons reference, Orel.

Jason said...

Wait, Stubbs is alive?!?

Cliff Beefpile said...

More like Can'tos! AmIright!?

/cries

Steve Sax said...

god, we really don't want to win this game

spank said...

@ KAREN - I DIDN'T HEAR THAT BUT I'M NOT SURPRISED BY THE BYRD NUMBERS. WE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN FROM DAY ONE.

Orel said...

Byrd stole Uribe's physique

spank said...

DAMMIT

Cliff Beefpile said...

Thanks, DB! I'd forgotten about him being at the World Series.

Dusty Baker said...

It feels like we work our ass off to get three outs then when we're up we just slap at a few balls and then the Gnats are back up again.

Orel said...

So worth it to stay up for this. So worth it.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Phillipe's has a pastrami sandwich now. Apparently, it's pretty good...according to one review on Facebook.

Orel said...

@Dusty: 2016 slogan!

Steve Sax said...

leadoff HBP. We suck

Orel said...

JUST KEEP HITTING GUYS

Steve Sax said...

When we lose this game, these 300+ comments are going to be for naught

Orel said...

When I run out of fingers, I Kontos

Steve Sax said...

Queuing up the "unlucky 13" PGT right now

spank said...

WE SHOULD JUST END THIS GAME WITH PENALTY KICKS ALREADY.

Orel said...

Thanks, Kontos!

karen said...

I hope Brandon Crawford really, really hurts.

Orel said...

WHY IS URIAS TWEETING RIGHT NOW

Orel said...

Don't worry, Brandon. Everybody hurts.

Steve Sax said...

Roenicke really wanted us to lose in 11 innings, but now he has a more devious plan for us

Jason said...

We've really killed the curve on comment count tonight.

Win or roenicke, really great to see yinz guys tonight!

karen said...

Still laughing at Jason's 11:01 comment. It was either really funny or I'm way past my bedtime...

Orel said...

Why not both?

Steve Sax said...

@karen, I agree. I also liked Cliff's 10:58p comment

karen said...

Send us all to bed Agon...

Steve Sax said...

If misery loves company, you guys are ALL helping keep me miserable

thank you

Orel said...

Bullshit strike zone tonight

karen said...

Sax...Me, too. I can totally relate.

karen said...

Now the idiot is hitting the backstop...

Orel said...

Imagine if the Mets had kept Turner

Steve Sax said...

This game has gone so long, Adrian Gonzalez' GameDay icon has grown facial hair

karen said...

Good. I was so done with August.

Steve Sax said...

If Turner hits a HR here, I have the perfect PGT headline

Cliff Beefpile said...

OK, let's leave shitty-ass August behind and get September off to a good start, Dodgers.

Steve Sax said...

Otherwise I'm going with "No Team Wants To Win The NL West"

Steve Sax said...

Turner with a one-out walk, just to get my hopes up needlessly

karen said...

Geez, I'm getting so goofy I thought JT was Agon. Couldn't figure out why Orel was asking about the Mets keeping Turner. What happened to Agon, anyway?

Orel said...

When did we start stealing bases?

Orel said...

AGon grounded out up the middle.

karen said...

Orel...Yesterday.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Van Slyke chases off the plate. This game is never going to end.

Paul said...

Where am I?

Orel said...

MAKE 'EM PAY PERAZA

Steve Sax said...

two on, two out--all set for Peraza to fail and this to go to the 14th

Steve Sax said...

Hatcher?

Orel said...

RANCHO ARDIENDO

there I said it

Orel said...

MAKE 'EM PAY HATHCHHHER

Steve Sax said...

no one left to bat. way to go, donnie

Orel said...

DON'T SWING

spank said...

PSYCHE




(cries)

Orel said...

DUXXK DUXK DUFC KUFCKFU VUCK

Steve Sax said...

BURY THE HATCHER

Orel said...

I have to be up in 5 hours 48 min

karen said...

I agree with Orel. 100%.

Steve Sax said...

Dodgers: 1-for-14 with RISP

Steve Sax said...

@Orel: so you're not up for the PGT?

karen said...

Why is Sponge Worthy still there? I thought he was home in bed.

Orel said...

Sorry, Sax

Steve Sax said...

have we lost this game yet?

Orel said...

Siddown, Belt

Orel said...

Beltdown, Sid

spank said...

i got nothing. tapped out

karen said...

SACK UP HATCHER! Don't you go blowing it now.

spank said...

wow. energy.

karen said...

Good job Christy!!

Orel said...

What happened to our bullpen?

Orel said...

Bullpenis...good?

spank said...

win it goddamnit. vin needs to sleep

Orel said...

heh heh

karen said...

Are we talking about animal genitalia now? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Steve Sax said...

Never seen Ellis so happy to leave the batter's box. Leadoff walk.

Orel said...

Leadoff walk for A.J.!

Steve Sax said...

They've stopped pouring beers over two hours ago

Orel said...

Steal second, A.J.!

Steve Sax said...

Roenicke gets a shoutout from Vin, but Vin's not in on the Roenicke conspiracy.

I think Roenicke was telling Rollins to strike out here.

karen said...

Kike has the banana suit on in the dugout.

Steve Sax said...

First and second with none out? Roenicke must be totally pissed off.

Orel said...

Rollins going to strike out here

Steve Sax said...

Vin jinxes it by talking about what a dodger win would do to the standings. Even Vin is tired.

karen said...

Sax...When Vin said that I thought 'He doesn't know what we know'.

Steve Sax said...

Hey look, it's he who is not Marlon Byrd!

Orel said...

How are we going to blow this one? Really.

Steve Sax said...

OF COURSE ROENICKE HOLDS ELLIS AT THIRD

Steve Sax said...

Rancho ardiendo, none out, A-Gon up.

Roenicke trying to figure out how to thwart this now...

Orel said...

RANCHO ARDIENDO

Steve Sax said...

At least Marlon Byrd will not beat us tonight!

Orel said...

We knocked Byrd out of the game!

spank said...

bases juiced.i think i'm asleep. gotta be a dream. or a nightmare.

karen said...

Andy's bro pitching?

Steve Sax said...

All we need is one pin, Rodney.

karen said...

THERE IT IS BABY!!!!!!!!

Steve Sax said...

WE WIN! HALLELUJAH!

spank said...

damn. i hate to say it. wish this one would never end.

karen said...

Nighty night all!!!

Orel said...

FUCK YES

Orel said...

GOOD NIGHT ALL

Cliff Beefpile said...

AGon comes through! 4.5 game division lead! Good night, everyone--finally!

Jason said...

Good morning, Vin!

spank said...

Steve Sax said...
