05/30 Dodgers (Wood) @ CUBS (Hammel) 4:05 CDT, WGN

[Butterscup]

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Told y'all we were gonna get a sweep, and we got a sweep. No stopping this train any time soon.

 

We get some weirdly timed daytime baseball tomorrow on our day off from work, but it's a good start time as we can get a couple of Memorial Day beverages in us right as the Holiday Dongs start. Dodgers are thanking their lucky stars that Kershaw isn't going to get walloped with dongs this week, but the rest of their starting rotation will not be able to say the same.

 

Jason Hammel

6-1, 2.17 ERA, 47 K/21 BB

 

vs.

See y'all Tuesday.

The Cubs are going to dismantle the Phillies like Ted Lilly uses that chart to dismantle corpses:

Lol mojo is so jealous that butters is getting all the attention that he's trying to make the Ted Lilly thing a thing

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I believe the game got moved to 3 when the Mets-Dodgers got moved to Sunday night. I could be wrong though.

Nah, I just really got a kick out of his weird pic from the cookbook and it reminded me how much I liked the "Ted Lilly is a psycho" meme. Though now that I know it bugs you, well, it's just that much more special.

The Dodgers will leave Chicago under .500 because of Butters.

uhhh wtf is going on with alex wood's K rate, jesus

[BigSlick]

Ted Lilly looks like he has a kids face somehow attached to an adult body. A strange lookin dude.

 

And the Cubs will win blah blah blah. I almost ALMOST feel bad for the Dodgers getting a late getaway game and then coming in for a day game in a different time zone. It's kinda unfair but well, too bad LA

[Transmogrified Tiger]

uhhh wtf is going on with alex wood's K rate, jesus

In 2013 and 2014 it was 8.9. If anything, last year was the aberration.

perfect time for a free trial of a blocker

One more game before I leave Chicago. I think I'm in the Bartman seats, section 4.

Really looking forward to this series. This is a potential playoff matchup if the Dodgers can step it up a little bit. No Kershaw in this series, but I was interested to see the red hot Cubs offense against one of the league's best. But the rest of the Dodgers staff can strike out a ton of people, doesn't give up very many dongs or walk many, and has the lowest BAA the Cubs offense will see this year unless there's a team scrimmage. So, the Cubs bats may have a hard time putting up the demoralizing big innings, where they get multiple walks, a few hits and a huge dong, that have killed so many of their opponents.

Nonsensical counterpoint:

He's just grouchy that the first pitch is going to interrupt his supper.

[David]

usually i am pretty aware of this, but i don't even know when arrieta is going next...tomorrow?

[Sammy Sofa]

He should be.
