We've secretly replaced Lucille Bluth's regular Zack Greinke with Curly Fries. Let's see if she notices.
Jesus, what an awful week. After suffering through a four-game losing streak, Dodger fans got the news this morning that reliable stopper Zack Greinke has been scratched from tonight's start due to calf soreness. Sure, that doesn't sound all that serious, but coming on the heels of everything else that's happened, it feels like a good, solid kick to the nads. Curly Fries gets the spot start. Fun!
There will be FOUR Sons in attendance tonight (Sax, AC, Dusty, and yours truly). Second time this season we've managed to scrape that many of us together. Come say hi! We'll be the surly guys* double-fisting beers.
*Curly Fries...surly guys...there's something there, but I can't quite get to it.

Alanna talking on pregame saying she is jumping off the Magic Number bandwagon an will discuss the post season when the division is clinched. Well, it's about GD time. Sax and I were bringing up all of this talk from the so called pundits after the gnat sweep. All of the sudden they're talking about having time to play bench players and rest up the starters for the Post Season. If I remember correctly Sax and I took a WTF attitude. After all, this is the Dodgers. Nothing ain't done til it's done with this team. Now after they have lost 4 in a row and have been stuck on the 'Magic Number' of 7 for what seems like eons it seems that the people who should have been on top of this all along are finally taking notice. Manage the team for what it is Mutt...a mad dash to the finish line with time running out pretty damn fast.
On a more important note...I was so sorry to hear about Yogi's passing. One of the great personalities in our beloved game I think he was loved by all. RIP Mr. Berra and thank you for being you.
Chutley powers out the first pitch of the game...1-0 Boys...
Goldshit goes yard on Curly's 1st pitch in 2nd...1-1
aaaaand the Giants are up 2-0
I am generally not a panicker, and I won't do that here, but for chrissakes this is baseball, it's not finished until this shit is finished. godDAMMIT FB is pissed!
nice bunt, Pete
Is there any chance Vin calls Goldschmidt "Goldsmith" as a remnant of some WW2 anti-German sentiment?
and me watching tonight means we'll lose again
Jimmy clears the pitcher with a walk
Frias bunting with 2 outs for some reason
and he does it poorly, a pop up to the pitcher
Wow, quite the opinion piece from Karen! Can't say I disagree.
and now Vin is talking about teams who had big leads late and blew them
if Vin is worried, I am worried
despite the hanger that went for a flyout, a good inning for Frias
Bax muff the foul pop, Bob Seger with another chance
and takes advantage by striking out
this ump has a strange strike zone
Adrian Ks
Did Vin do a nice piece on Yogi?
5 straight Ks for Anderson
why is Mart Hart in the second row?
@Orel I missed the first inning and a half and have been on and off mute. He was talking about Yogi striking out 12 times in the whole 1950 season, saying some guys strike out that many times during the anthem
ugh, Thomas? That beard isn't going to make you pitch more like Clayton
Frias did a nice job for 4 innings
at least we cleared Guerrero
Ok...I'm baaack...I know, you guys didn't even know I was gone!!
Orel...Yes. Vin did a beautiful piece on Yogi (as only Vin can do).
Baez in now for the 6th
hi karen, I missed you
I'm digging Yaz's new catcher's mask.
1 hit
Right back atcha FB!!!
OK LETS GET SOME GODDAMN RUNS!!!!
wow we are awful
damnation
was that our look at the game?
We aren't losing, but it sure as fuck feels like we're losing.
HI GUYS!!!
Goldschmidt is from Delaware? Is Delino now a fan?
HI GNOMES!
We aren't losing? Are you sure?
Baez hits 100 to get Goldschmidt, Avilan coming in
Corey Seager has become quite the heartthrob in my house. My daughter, whom may I add was born in the middle of the 1981 World Series (yes such an exciting time lying flat on my back in the hospital after an emergency c-section trying to cheer on my team and sounding like a bunch of cats were fighting...great drugs though) and I'm positive she was switched at birth and I came home with someone else's kid cause no freaking way could I give birth to someone who doesn't love baseball and now all of the sudden, Corey's up in the Bigs and I've been instructed to let her know when he's up so she can run out of her room to look at him.
GODDAMMIT I hate these bullpen games. You know one (or many) of these assholes are going to fail. The chances of everyone being perfect (which they have to be the way we are hitting) is so slim
hehe good stuff, Karen, whatever it takes to make them fans. Can she get him to hit a homer next time?
a baserunner?
CC up to hit for SVS
Carl apparently has a sore shoulder?
Is the whole goddamn team hurt?
FB...So far my nekked moonlight dancing this season has been what I guess we should call not a very inspiring sight for our team (the fact that I'm in my 50's could possibly have something to do with that) but the daughter is 33 and beautiful...so maybe it's time to pass the torch and see what kind of mojo she can give Corey!!!
Peralta nearly makes a great catch
@karen haha gotta find the magic somewhere! Spank's thong can't hold out much longer
Joc trying to win tonight's and last night's game with 1 swing
sad
Dodgers with only 1 hit?? And that was Chutley's 1st pitch homer in the 1st inning? Am I missing something here????
shadows? marine layer? sucking?
The Dodgers have already send Kenley to Colorado for the next series
Hatcher in
yaayyyy
FB...What they need is a Slump Buster a la Mark Graces description of the sure fire way to break a slump. Have you heard that story???
Mart moved forward a row, that has to be a good sign, right?
@karen I definitely know that term. The whole team needs one/many
Oh Yeah!!! Jroll with the bunt single...
David Hernandez was really good once, not sure what happened to him.
But I am sure he'll do just fine tonight
Rollins with a nice drag bunt single
Torreyes?
Whyyyyyyyy?
Torreyes donnies Rollins over to second
Torreyes? Or torreyno?
Successful sac bunt.
Should note that Torreyes autocorrects to "tormented"
Chase! 2-1.
UTZ!
Whole Team
FB...I heard Mark Grace explain that on the Jim Rome show years ago and it was one of the funniest, irreverent things I had ever heard! I don't know how I didn't wreck my car I was laughing so hard!
Mark Grace is an ass but that was a good story
COREY! Karen's daughter is dancing!
Stay away from Conte, Corey, he'll wreck your hamstring
I MISSED COREY'S HOMER!!! Had to take the devil puppy out to potty...
Dre Ks for the 4th time, Spank is laughing somewhere
devil puppy has no respect for dreamboat rookies
madres trying to make a game out of it in LoCal....
ugh, shitty squibber up third, nothing Seager could do
popup to first, 1 down
Pollock pops to second, 2 outs
FB...You called it...Mart moving to the front row was a good thing!!! WE MAKE PARDY!!
YES Utley snags the Goldschmidt liner, we win!
We win?!?
We win!
Tomorrow is a matinee game. Don't forget!!!!
Goodnight Peeps!!!
Nice work, bullpen!
