And Chad Billingsley Shall Inherit The Earth

No matter what happens today, the result will not reflect on Chad Billingsley's personality, just his skills. Hopefully those skills take a strong upswing to the levels they were at in the first half of this year.

Is this Rob's special lady? My guess is no.

I Alivandi said...

Now posting from a far better city. New Orleans.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

KK - Nope. I got denied. Oh well.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

KK - The girl I was asking for a pic of was Chiaki Kuriyama who played Gogo in the first Kill Bill film. She was the Japanese girl with the ball and chain. She was also in Battle Royale which is an awesome movie and one you should check out if you've never seen it.

I Alivandi said...

Kyo-no tema kore desu!

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

I put this in the last thread, but I figured I'd repost it in case anyone missed it. I thought it was interesting.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Am I the only one who hates the KCAL 9 pregame show?

JuanLove said...

i do too Rob

Cabell said...

Kemp and Ethier both came close to hitting it out

Cabell said...

1-0 Dodgers.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but how much better is the offense when the lead-off man gets on?

Cabell said...

oh shit.

Cabell said...

This is a wonderful start for Chad.

telciram said...

telciram does not approve.

JuanLove said...

holy crap

Cabell said...

Damnit Russell.

GIDP.

Hopefully Chad had his only bad inning.

telciram said...

shitty luck here.

JuanLove said...

yup, 2nd inning has been on the D

telciram said...

Why is sherrill losing in the voting???

telciram said...

3 DP's.


lady luck hates the dodgers.

JuanLove said...

3 double plays

kensai said...

What the fuck is going on?

kensai said...

Is this going to be one of those days where we can't hit some scrub again?

telciram said...

we're hitting...just into DPs...

telciram said...

curveball, curveball, curveball, curveball

strikeout.

kensai said...

:-/

kensai said...

KempKershaw-Nope.

Alireza-Constantly onthe move, eh?

Rob-I win.

Way to ruin my surprise with that series on NBC by the way. :o

Luckily, I don't have to watch the KCAL pre-game.

telciram said...

raffy actually got on base twice today

":o"

telciram said...

4 dps.


i'm going to go on a shooting spree.

kensai said...

Cabell-A lot better.

telciram-What voting?

kensai said...

telciram-Even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

kensai said...

Like Ronnie Belliard hitting well.

telciram said...

carmax text question. It was about midseason acquisitions and sherrill was losing to belliard and padilla.

kensai said...

Dumbass fans.

kensai said...

Kemp is officially slumping.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Kensai - Surprise? It's not like I linked to something that hasn't already been posted to the internet.

kensai said...

If Billingsley gets through this inning, he has done pretty well. Problem is the same. Can't hit shitty pitchers.

kensai said...

Rob-Most people don't read NBC Sports, I would think. I know I don't except when I get linked. :o

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

We probably found that series of reports in the same place. I linked to it from MLBTR a week or so ago and I've been waiting till they got around to our team. It's nice to see that we rank highly in something, however imagined it may be. =0

telciram said...

fuck this.

The Dude Abides said...

Jesus fuck.

kensai said...

I spoke too soon.

kensai said...

Doesn't matter, they can't score more than 1 anyway.

kensai said...

ANOTHER FUCKING DOUBLE PLAY?

kensai said...

The one time in the last 3 games i'm actually online, and this is the most dead game thread since I started this. :o

What luck.

Cabell said...

Just walked in and heard they've hit into 5 DPs! WTF?

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

it's because of your refusal to show love to Chiaki.

Cabell said...

What's a Chiaki?

Cabell said...

Kensai - Labor Day hangover.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Chiaki Kuriyama

http://chockblock.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/chiaki_kuriyama.jpg

telciram said...

who hit the last one? belliard?

Cabell said...

Belli

kensai said...

Cabell-Yes. What terrible fucking shit.

Rob-Lies!

kensai said...

telciram-Yes.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Kensai - =). It's official. It's a curse now. "The curse of the refusal to post a single pic of a hot asian chick named Chiaki for some personal reason."

Cabell said...

Did Chad look like shit tonight?

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

You know we suck when Ronnie Fucking Belliard has been our most consistent hitter lately.

telciram said...

DP THAT BITCH.


still not going to win, though.

Cabell said...

Torre has a new love interest in Belliard.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

This game sucks, but I have to say that the TITS GT threads have made watching the games more fun, even in losses. I dig the small community of degenerate fans that we have here.

telciram said...

furcal putting his bat on his shoulder almost negates any chance of a walk.


DP THAT BITCH!

Cabell said...

Got something going here.


Bison up.

telciram said...

LETS GET A HOME RUN UP IN THIS BITCH.

kensai said...

Our last hope.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Wow another run. You'd swear we hit the jackpot.

telciram said...

DP THAT BITCH


LETS GET ANOTHER HIT UP IN THIS BITCH

Cabell said...

This game isn't out of hand.

Dre up.

kensai said...

Rob-I will reverse it. Maybe.

Cabell-At the start he did. The run in the second inning was shitty defense again. Belliard sucks.

The Dude Abides said...

Some life! Looks like the acknowledgement of the "No Chiaki Kuriyama Curse" has led to a run.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Telciram - You forget we only seem to hit HRs with no one on base anymore.

Cabell said...

I saw Billingsley's first inning. He looked awful.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

I'd gladly live without a pic of Chiaki on the site if we can pull this game out and win. Otherwise I stick by my idea of the curse.

kensai said...

Rob-The idea was to encourage new people to post and make it more participation oriented. It has worked thus far. I expected like 50 comments per game. I got like 150-300 thus far. Ridiculous.

telciram-wtf thuggish

hahaha

Cabell said...

DRE coming through.

telciram said...

LETS GET ANOTHER HIT UP IN THIS BITCH!

Cabell said...

All with two outs.

The Dude Abides said...

Woot! Finally a grounder that goes our way!

kensai said...

TDA-lol

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Kensai - The game thread was a good idea for sure. There's actually like a nice group of fans here now and I'm sure more and more will come along with time. I actually look forward to the game threads. Good times.

kensai said...

Kemp and Dre. Fuck yeah.

kensai said...

When the game is close at the end, this thread always picks up. :o

telciram said...

unlike the dodgers.com GD crapfest, this is actually worth it.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Telciram - Agreed. We all get along too which is better than the average forum. No flame wars or troll jobs.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Plus kensai doesn't have any strict rules about our language which is awesome.

telciram said...

LETS GET A 2-RBI SINGLE UP IN THIS BITCH.

The Dude Abides said...

Let's hope the ump is as squeeze-happy with Loney up.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Holy Shit!

telciram said...

LETS GET ANOTHER HIT UP IN THIS BITCH.


(hey, it's working)

The Dude Abides said...

That ball was smoked.

kensai said...

Cabell-Clutch hitting? Not on my Dodgers!

Rob-I knew you guys would come, but I have attracted about 7-10 new people that I never recognized before.

kensai said...

Pussies walking Manny.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

LET'S SHIT ANOTHER DP IN THIS BITCH

Cabell said...

This is awsome.

Cabell said...

In the Chad Billingsley post from earlier today, there were a bunch of new names commenting.

Cabell said...

5-4 Dodgers!!!

telciram said...

LETS GET ANOTHER HIT UP IN THIS BITCH.

(our bullpen is so aweomse that we've probably already won *knocks on wood*)

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Belliard knocked the shit out of that one. I was worried for the fielder's life with the velocity that ball had.

The Dude Abides said...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I Alivandi said...

Big Inning Jim.

Cabell said...

Hudson, rally killer.

kensai said...

VICTOLY!

kensai said...

Sweet revenge!

telciram said...

cabell- it doesn't matter.


sherrill + broxton = lots of struck out d-backs.

Cabell said...

Who's pitching the eighth?

telciram said...

come on kensai, the L isn't anywhere near the R on the keyboard. inexcusable.

Cabell said...

telciram - I hope you're right.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

The Brim Reaper.

telciram said...

sherrill, maybe kuo.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Sherrill should pay me for the being the only person to push his "Brim Reaper" nickname which he actually fucking trademarked when he came to LA.

telciram said...

1.1 ERA in 20-something games? t3h awesumz.

I Alivandi said...

Kensai - Was in Houston for work. New Orleans to see friends.

I went to law school here

telciram said...

Rob- i pushed it too at the dodgers.com board.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Telciram - Word.

telciram said...

6 out save for brox?

Cabell said...

Kuo seems a little tired. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think he had any strikeouts in his last appearance.

telciram said...

oh wait, it's kuo pitching, i though sherrill was pitching and got kinda nervous at the single, i'm doing HW right now too.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

I didn't know Eric Byrnes still had a pulse.

kensai said...

Rob-There are some troll jobs sometimes. :o

Language has never bothered me beyong personal poo slinging and hate speech type shit.

kensai said...

Is it just me or has Belliard getting a shit ton of flare/infield hits?

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

kensai - I can dig it. The troll jobs must be few and far between. I doubt hate speech will be a prob here since we're all cool and we all get along with each other. We argue in a pretty civilized manner for a bunch of deviants.

telciram said...

LETS GET A K UP IN THIS BITCH.

telciram said...

w00t.

Cabell said...

Nice.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Thank god Belliard made that play.

telciram said...

and kensai can always lay down a can of whoopass.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Telciram - Truth. He brings it Larry Bowa style.

Cabell said...

SOme insurance would be nice here.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Apparently Lidge is finally done as the Phils closer. Dammit. I wish they'd have stuck with him thru the playoffs.

kensai said...

Cabell-I noticed the new guys. :o

telciram-Please don't say that.

The "victoly" comment was a pun on Asian accents. :o

Cabell-Joe is really pushing Kuo. He can't resist using him. He will ruin him again before the playoffs.

The Dude Abides said...

Russ should be able to go deep on Handlebar.

Cabell said...

Kensai - When Kuo isn't striking guys out I get worried.

telciram said...

Please don't say what?

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

At least Joe didn't go with Macdonald after that shit he pulled a few nights back.

telciram said...

gotta love that stache.

telciram said...

Rob- didn't jmac pitch the 7th?

The Dude Abides said...

Didn't Juan steal two bases on this same pitcher last night? I'm sensing a bad pickoff throw here.

JuanLove said...

all that because Juan didnt GIDP

man what a player he's been

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Yeah. My timing on the comment was shitty, but I meant at least he didn't go with him in a situation like this after he gave up a bunch of hits on as many pitches the other night.

Cabell said...

TBA - Zevada is really keeping an eye on Pierre this time.

Cabell said...

Damn.

telciram said...

i hate how pierre is often picked off.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Way to earn that money you tiny headed fuck.

The Dude Abides said...

Great...I jinxed him.

The Dude Abides said...

Please Raffy. Keep this up for another two months.

Cabell said...

Zevada can take it easy now because we all know Furcal won't attempt to steal.

Cabell said...

Do the Rox lose anymore?

kensai said...

Rob-I wouldn't assume. As sites expand, it's inevitable that different people will come. For better or worse.

Manuel said Lidge is still the closer.

telciram said...

I demand to know what you don't want me to say, kensai!

The Dude Abides said...

Damn. Bison was on that pitch.

Cabell said...

Broxton Time.

kensai said...

telciram-Don't say the game is over prematurely. :o

kensai said...

Kemp is learning about BABIP this month.

He is shitty statistically, but he has still been lining shit all over the park.

:o

Cabell said...

Throw a strike fat ass

The Dude Abides said...

That's 100 lashes with a wet noodle, Cabell.

Cabell said...

Was it that bad? Sorry.

Cabell said...

I get too nervous in one run games.

The Dude Abides said...

GAS

Cabell said...

Beautiful pitch.

Two down.

Cabell said...

Uh OH.


End this now Brox.

kensai said...

...

The Dude Abides said...

I think Upton is going to lay off the slider after Ox schooled him with it last series.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

Yes!

The Dude Abides said...

Broxton athleticism!

telciram said...

wesourf nbjwa;kofisbfaloubfzxofuzbfizxj czufbdfo[zxcnz[ofbzfibA0prfwr30330fnosinz0xpcbaq- pn3-tspkfnpihsfa-f9sf.

DieAllRight! (Formerly Rob) said...

If Broxton played for NYY or Boston the national media would be all over his nuts. But since he plays for us he's the forgotten elite closer.

kensai said...

VICTOLY!

Cabell-I just don't talk during close games.

Cabell said...

Not the prettiest game in the world, but we'll take the W.

Off to the gym.

telciram said...

We might actually gain a game on someone for once- the padres took the lead

kensai said...

Unfortunately, not the Rockies.

McCheap strikes again!! said...

Cabell- what gym do you go to?!

JuanLove said...

at least Giants lost

The Dude Abides said...

Well, if you're not going to post a Chiaki pic, a Petra Nemcova pic ain't a bad substitute. If you're looking for an Asian connection, she broke her pelvis in the December 2004 tsunami when she was staying in Khao Lak, Thailand.

The Stig said...

You have to feel incredibly bad for her too. She lost her fiance or perhaps newlywed hubby in that tsunami too. I mean, a lot of people lost friends and family in the tsunami. She isn't special in that way, but it is still sad. And she even was holding on to him until their grip slipped and he was swept away.

The Stig said...

Kensai - yeah, Chiaki isn't my type either. She is okay I guess, but doesn't do it for me.

I Alivandi said...

Kensai - Belliard's hits, for the most part, have been pretty hard hit. He takes a massive cut, so he doesn't get cheated.

kensai said...

TDA-Word. I don't only want to post Asian chicks, but a majority of the pics I have seem to be Asian. :o

Stig-Word.

Alireza-He hits balls hard, but at least 4 or 5 of his hits have been infield, seeing eye singles or bloopers. 2 homers and the double have been raked.
