Hello good people.
PUGVESTEC
cc: Karen
The Big A full of Doyers fans tonight.
Crawford, now 5-for-6 in the leadoff spot (with that single)!
Come on boys, let's make friends with Tribbiani.
Does anyone have the same issue: when I have a visiting field on mlb gameday (laptop), it has the correct field graphic; but for Dodger Stadium, i'm getting a generic graphic?
Is this my computer, or some dispute with Dodger Stadium / advertising rights?
Chase Utley K, one out
Another stolen base...CC on second with one out and A-Gon up
A-Gom waves badly at a ball in the dirt.
We're going to strand CC.
JT flies to left. Stranded indeed. 0-0 through 0.5
SEAGER!! great fucking play
I love having a team that can play defense.
SEAGER4PRESIDENT!!!
i like a shortstop that can pay defense and hit. #Seager
excuse my spelling y'all. i'm sober.
Jellis gets with the single. First and third...let's gets some hits with RISP, Dodgers!
Ellis singles. the world rejoices.
noice. 1-0 LA!!
SVS! 1-0 Blue.
I can excuse your spelling, Spanky, but not your sobriety.
Joc, you're killin' me.
I can excuse your great fielding, Joc, but not your senseless at-bats.
For some reason, I thought Mondesi and Karros had more homeruns in their rookie years.
Mendoza is like, "Damn, this Pederson kid is stealing my thunder."
we score, but then they score.
1-1, one out in B2
fuck. keep losing my live streams
1-1 through 2. Ethier up with two on and one out...and he weakly flies to left. WEAK SAUCE
There's an all new Fiat 500X crossover?! WOW
Seager at least ropes it to left, but it's also a fly out in the books
Dodgers now 2-for-9 with RISP. Why are we so bad with RISP!
PUjols with a ground rule double that Ethier almost caught. Need some wheels, Andre!
We get out of it. 1-1 through 3
JoK singles. WOW!
Turner with the double down the line! Come on, Ethier, drive them in!
aww man. Ethier is up.
Muttingly actually did something right by pinch hitting for Ethier. that's my boy.
3-1 LA
3-1 on the Ruggiano double!
Why did Ethier get pulled early? Did he get hurt on that catch attempt in right field?
Ellis hacking away up there, with a man on third and two out. 3-2 count....
Ellis Ks. SALAciouS Crumb
3-1 LA, mid 5
FUCK. tied game
HR. Greinke getting hammered a bit here.
3-3
@ Saxy- Scioscia brought in a lefty to pitch to Ethier so Muttingly batted Ruggiano for him
4-3 lead courtesy of an A-Gon sac fly.
Roger Federer wins first 2 sets at US Open...both on tie breaks (7-0) (8-6)
Nights like tonight are why God made remotes...
4-3 on the sac
@spank 7.45p: thanks !
It just dawned on me how much Greinke looks Jay from Jay and Silent Bob.
Ruggiano drilled in the elbow to lead off the 7th.
MORE GIFT RUNS! 6-3 Dodgers!
Boys chase Gott...up 6-3
somewhat comfortable lead because Greinke doesn't pitch past the 7th inning,right Vin?
6-3!
(Sorry, coming in and out of the game; why are those gift runs? Because of the hbp/bb?)
@karen 8:10p: remotes like these are why people have gotten obese, however
@Sax, It was a high-bouncing nubber that Gott tried to stab, but he ended up just punching it into left field. Aybar would have had a play on it, but instead it resulted in two runs.
Saxy...I'm sitting here with the remote in one hand and a Pop Tart in the other
Uh oh!!
Dammit, a chance to open this wide open and Chase and Adrian both K weakly. Brutal.
6-3 LA.
@karen: i'll be right over
@Cliff 8:33p: got it, just saw the highlight. GIFT RUNS!
Which bullpen shows up tonight?
Are we going to regret scoring only two in the top of this inning?
THAT WAS A BALL....oh wait..SIT DOWN YOU FUCK!
Nicasio vs. Trout. Hide the kids.
Trout up, Nicasio coming in. This can't be good...
@ Saxy 8:30pm - i'm proof
Anything less than a 3-run HR is a victory for us here
trout vs. nicasio. hide the kids and Neeebs.
It's 9 p.m. Do you know where Neeebs is?
Looks like Howell vs. Pujols after this.
Donnie is irate.
THAT WAS STRIKE 3, UMP!
Got him!
Siddown, Trout!
i shit my pants
Ellis got crossed up
Roger wins in 3 sets...
Pujols RBI. If we can get through this inning giving up one, I'll take it
Damn you, Poo Holes.
two singles, then two Ks, then Pujols single: 6-4 with men at the corners and Howell coming in
B7
Murphy is due, btw
These Angels announcers are surprisingly non-homery
ugh
OH GREAT IT'S JOHN JIMSON
Jimson coming in with bases RA...
Nooooooooo, not Johnson! Goddammit, Mattingly, just because the gnats lost doesn't mean we can blow this game for shits and giggles.
this going o end well....yeah right
At least make them earn it. 6-5 Dodgers
Hector Olivera of the Braves went 2-5 with 4 rbi
Fuck you, Johnnson. And get in front of that, AJ!
Let's get some back!
The strike zone has gotten wonkier as the game goes on.
Man these teams seem incompetent
We're Giantsing the Angels
Joe Smith has aspirations of being a Dodger reliever when he grows up.
Bases loaded again, not that it matters. I'm not falling for it this time, Dodgers! Don't patronize me.
Second chance to actually break this open
@Cliff! we're thinking the same way
Oh yeah...RANCHO ARDIENDO
Heisy strikes out. Even with the DH we have a ton of runners LOB.
wow that was fast, my gameday just leapt ahead to B8. I guess Heisey wasn't successful then?
Dodgers now 7-for-22 with RISP. 22 RISP chances? Is that right? That must be a typo.
No he wasn't. And Hatcher just walked the leadoff man
Shit, I forgot it was only the 8th. This one's gonna go 4 hours.
Stop, Freese!
My gameday is so jacked, I have no idea what game I'm watching. I've got Hatcher pitching to Joyce with a guy on third and two out?
"Matt Joyce replaces Taylor Featherston"
Taylor Featherston? Is that a real name? Is that a joke?
Conflicting edits!
Joyce Ks!
Taylor Featherston would have easily hit that with a flat bat. A cricket bat, that is.
Wow, Bryce Harper has 500 hits already, and he's only 22.
Taylor Pennyfeathers Featherston III, Esq.!
Chase Utley, 2-for-6 with 3 Ks!
Wow, that 7-for-22 RISP stat looks like it's true. What a disaster.
Taylor Featherston wears a monocle while playing
Butthole puckered! Ready to face an 0-4 Mike Trout...
Taylor Featherston is the first player to make the crossover from professional croquet to the majors.
Taylor Featherston likes the pull-up socks, but prefers pantaloons
Bottom of the ninth and Kenley coming in...
@Sax. Naturally. Also, he extends his pinkie whilst batting. "We're hardly savages after all." - Taylor Featherston
@Sax - Taylor is not the last. There will be others. So many others.
And we'll marvel at the days when there was but one croquet crossover.

I hate this game.
When will pitchers learn they shouldn't try to glove it behind their back? Except when they are Clayton Kershaw.
KJ gives up a leadoff single.
My wife and I tend not to fall in an easy cliche. But it's worth noting that she's got Bridget Jones Diary playing in the other room.
Taylor Featherston would rather be grouse hunting
SIDDOWN TROUT
Wow. Trout strikes out again.
Frozen Fish!
Pooh.
Hole.
Kenley Ks Trout + Pujols
Pujols does his best Andruw Jones impression, strikes out for out number two.
pulgas looked like he was swinging at a moth on that strikeout pitch.
Trout and Pujols both K. Calhoun advances to second on defensive indifference.
Taylor Featherston is not indifferent, however.
Mrs. Delino watching Bridget Jones, I assume, since we haven't heard from him in a while, that Spank is watching The Bridges of Madison County.
Don't give DeJesus a free pass...
WIN
WIN, MOFOS!
8.5!
MAGIC NUMBER IS DOWN TO 17 ! How sweet it is.
Save number 30 for Kenny Lee!
@ CliffPile - Steel Magnolias,vato.
Good night to all. Happy end of Labor Day.
Welcome to October!
Do you think Taylor Featherston hangs with Chauncey Billups?
noice
Night kids!
FUCK YEAH!!!
I believe that second SVS hit is colloquially known as a "Baltimore Chop," the origin of which is as follows: In 1894, the Orioles paid the groundskeepers to hide concrete slabs just under the ground in front of the plate so that when the batters hit down on the ball, it would bounce so high that there was no chance to throw out the runner.
