5-0 Astros??? I guess we are in the "famine" portion of our program.

Kent is now 0-for-16 with that last inning-ending GIDP. Wonderful.

We look like we're back to our one-run days. Without the one run.

Why is it feast or famine with this Dodgers offense? We look awful tonight.

We need someone named Delilah in our lineup.

Kemp flies out weakly for the first out in the fourth.

Speed Racer's miss this weekend isn't entirely unexpected (I was still rooting for it, though I was rooting for Iron Man too), but I am still surprised that Iron Man, with its staid icon-driven marketing plan, did so well.

Matsui is having one of those eternal at bats in the fourth.

When Darin Erstad hits a ball like that, you know Chad Billingsley doesn't have the good stuff in this inning.

How many times this season have the Dodgers left the top of the first inning already behind in the game? It feels like every time.

"You want to watch a movie?" For those of you not fluent in wife-speak, that means "We're going to watch a movie." So I am going to be spending the first half of the game with Edward Norton and Naomi Watts in China. Check in with you later.

But there are toilets right off the dugout! Or at least there should be.

The lineup:

Pierre, LF
DeWitt, 3B
Kemp, RF
Kent, 2B
Martin, C
Loney, 1B
Jones, CF
Hu, SS
Billingsley, P

WHERE IS ETHIER? And DeWitt batting second? Looks like Torre is still playing with his chemistry set.

Diamondbacks have certainly become more human of late. It would be nice if the Dodgers could take advantage. They couldn't last night, but a win tonight would sure make me feel better.

Anyone else ever think that athletes get "flu-like symptoms" at an alarming rate? I don't even know if I've ever had the flu, but these guys drop like flies in every month of the season.

I often this must just be code for "I ate too many burritos last night, and I'm afraid to be too far from a toilet."

Cubs beat the D'backs 7-2.

2008-05-10T17:33:18.429-07:00

From Diamond:

"Rafael Furcal will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a stiff back, but Joe Torre figured he'll play tomorrow as Chin-lung Hu is scheduled to slide over to play second base in place of Jeff Kent. Then again, we'll see.

Takashi Saito will be unavailable for a second straight after being sent home again with flulike symptoms."

Great. Just great.

Go ahead, Erin. Iron Man made $15.3 on Friday alone.

In some comments section here a while back, I think I recall saying that I thought Speed Racer wouldn't do well in its opening weekend. I may have even suggested that Iron Man in its second week could beat Speed Racer's opening weekend tally.

I will refrain from saying, "I told you so." Well, at least until the final weekend totals are in.
