Thursday March 28 1p: TBD vs. Miles Mikolas Friday March 29 7p: Saturday March 30 6p: Sunday March 31 4p:
So I get it, it's "Traditional" Opening Day 2024, because the two games we played in Korea don't count. Except they do, in the standings. Well, cue the flyover for this four-game series against the Cardinals, anyway.
Sax here will be out of pocket for this series, so I'll leave it to you guys to tend bar. Don't ruin the joint while I'm gone!

Miles Mikolas todays starter for the Birds has been quoted as saying 'The Dodgers are playing checkbook baseball' and that it would be great to stick it to them.

@Spanky....I've been calling Ohtani 'Sho Time' so it took me a minute to get your 'Gambler" comment. That's pretty funny!

OOPS!! Didn't see your post Spank!!

@Sax...I thought you were on the prowl this weekend??
@karen! Sorry I’ve been away this series. Caught in a place where I can only get gameday, but should be back later this weekend (if we don’t get rained out!).
That Betts guy is really good. Solo HR to lead off the game.
1-0 LA, mid-2
@karen: thanks for keeping the blog running!
Teoscar with a solo shot! 2-0 LA
@Saxy...Spanky and I are trying to stream the game but aren't having any luck. Will you keep posting the score so I know what's going on??
haha. i misspelled Fredwards name in the lineup
@karen...yeah, looks like i beat you by a few seconds with the lineup. so many mistakes with autocorrect. still wasnt right
Teoscar with a three-run HR, so it’s 5-0
Teoscar is on fire tonight
Teoscar Ks with Slappy on second. Now there’s two out for Kike
Kike is first-pitch swinging, and strands Will Smith after his leadoff double.
Kike doesn’t have a hit this year.
5-0 LA through 6
Bobby Miller, what a night. 0 ER and 11 Ks through six full innings. Way to go, Bobby Miller!
J Hair calls Miller 'Blackout Bobby Miller' sounds apropos tonight.
Rojas with a homerun too?
6-0 LA
that's a wrap
WIN
Way to go, Dodgers!!!
i was surprised today seeing Kenta Maeda pitching for the Tigers. hadn't seen him in a long time. homeboy got whacked😔
I love that Will the Thrill is stepping up to be Shohei's translator.

Jerry Hailstorm says the game will get in.
Sun is out at the Ravine. No tarp on the field.
cool. just gonna say if game was gonna be played. rainy and windy and cold in my hood
jerry hairston will always be a padres to me. fuck him.
@Spanky...they said it was cold and windy at Dodger Stadium with light rain expected at 6:00 and again at 7:00 but they expect to get the game in although I'm not going to hold my breath on that.
Charlie Freeman threw out the first pitch on his dad's bobblehead night. The kid through from the mound and it looked like a strike. So sweet!
Yoshi!!
Yoshi K's the side in the first.
i think yoshi is overthrowing. he has good stuff but it looks like he's pushing the ball at times. he'll be iight
@karen..im not expecting the game to go all 9 innings. maybe 5 though
mookie and ohtani on base for Fredward
bases juiced for ol Slappy
Bases juiced with no outs in first. Slappy coming up
@Spanky...Get out of my head!!!
Sucky Lance Lynn K's Slappy
deduct one year off that contract
putrid. muncy sucks
Sucky Lance Lynn K's the side and leaves the bases loaded
horrible. bases loaded with no outs and 3 Ks in a row. shit
5 runners LOB already after 2 innings by LA
Rain really coming down.
looks crazy with rain
i think its gonna be delayed. should be
I can't believe they are playing through this. The dirt on the infield is looking drenched
yep delayed
Finally. Rain delay. I was thinking someone was going to get hurt
@karen...yeah. they let the infield puddle a bit. its fucked now if they continue in a while
It seems so weird to have my fireplace going while watching the Dodgers
Looks like Yoshi may be coming back in to pitch. Reminds me of Noma's no-hitter in Colorado.
*Nomo's
finally a run scored
1-0 LA
2-0 LA
slappy singles in the gambler
Fredward gets thrown out at home trying to score on a flyball. dude is fucking slow as fuck
Mariachi Joe Kelly coming in from the bullpen to the song Wild Thing ala Ricky Vaughn in Major League
At least we are winning. But man it is cold out there tonight
Dammit, Joe Kelly is shitting the bed here. 2-2 and cards still threatening
Kelly has given up five runs here in the seventh.
5-2 StL
Joe Kelly blows it up
Max Muncy Ks waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.
Slappy gets one back, but it’s 5-3 STL through 7
MOOKIE!!!!
Lux comes up to leadoff the bottom of the ninth, Dodgers down two. He swings at the first pitch for an infield pop-up out.
Lux, please get your shit together.
Mookie HR!
If Lux were on base, it would be tied up…
@karen: my radio feed is really late!
@Saxy...At least your on board with us tonight!
Ok Max, show me
Redemption time Max Muncy
Muncy ties it!!!
AND MAX DELIVERS!!! All tied up
dayum
Teoscar with two out and men at the corners… Max takes second base on defensive indifference
Extras
Hernandez Ks.
We go to extras!
This game is going to drive me to drink
Goldschmidt scores Scott. Cards by one, two out.
Muncy can’t handle Arenado’s shot, so now St Louis has men at the corners and two out. Matt Carpenter up…
Roberts going to Evan Phillips
Evan gets Carpenter to K.
6-5 St Louis, mid-10
Here we go. I've crossed myself and I'm not Catholic but whatever gets the job done
It’s up to Lux.
(cries)
Lux reaches, but doesn’t score CT3
come on Mook!!
Oh man. Mookie walks, so it’s all up to Shohei now.
It all comes down to Sho Time
need a royal flush here
Dammit!
Oh well
That's it
Happy Easter y'all
BOOOOOOO

I really don't like the ESPN broadcasts but so far in the Pre-game show they are talking about the greatness of the team none of that 'Checkbook Baseball' bullshit.
I think I might love it that the rest of the league hates us. :)
Buster Olney just said that this season Mookie has 4 HR and only 3 missed swings. That is damn impressive.
Kike wearing a mic tonight
1-0 Birds on Goldy RBI in T3
2-0 Birds going to the bottom of 5
Kike was talking about Gavin Stone and that he gained 10 pounds in off season by going to Chipolte
Boys have hit into 3 DP's. 2-0 Birds after 5.
Vesia in for Stone in 6th.
Vesia walks first two batters he faces. Bases loaded for Birds with one out in T6
Vesia hits Donovan to bring in the run. 3-0 Birds
Austin Barnes catchers interference gifts the Cards another run. I hate Austin Barnes.
Catchers interference brings in another run. 4-0 Birds B6
Sax...So good to not be alone anymore!!
Happy Easter!
