Game 100 Thread: July 28 @ Cardinals, 5.15p

Found July 28, 2009 on Sons of Steve Garvey:
PLAYERS: Chad Billingsley
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers

Chad Billingsley (10-5, 3.72) vs. Adam "Loudon" Wainwright (11-6, 2.95). COMMENTS: Once again, the Dodgers sit on the precipice of a three-game losing streak, something they've avoided all year long. So it's fitting that, two days after a hack LATimes writer called him out, Billingsley gets the chance to show if he can be that ace under pressure that the Dodgers apparently "don't have." True, Bills has struggled a bit of late, needing the Manny pinch hit grand slam to earn his 10th victory. But I'm guessing Chad has enough gumption tonight to win it for himself--and not for the fear of a three-game losing streak or the hack journalists without a clue. Just win it for you, Your Royal Thighness! As a reminder, this game also debuts the new SoSG insipid time-wasting game, "One Hundred Splendid Sons", or 100SS. Complete rules are posted here, but the point is for us to have fun in the Game Thread competing for the 100-multipled comments. That way, even if the Dodgers fall to the...

Post-Game 100 Thread: Three In A Row

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  July 28, 2009
CARDINALS 10, DODGERS NIL Okay, so there you have it. It took 100 games, but the Dodgers finally lost three in a row, which will certainly drop them in the vaunted Power Rankings despite still having the best record in the majors and a eight-game lead over the second-place Rockies, the largest division lead in the majors. Happy now, national media? Rejoicing, Bill Plaschke? ...

Chad Billingsley falls apart

Should The Los Angeles Dodgers Be Concerned With Chad Billingsley?

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 29, 2009
There are a lot of great pitchers in the game today who are 25 years old and younger. Tim Lincecum, Zack Greinke, Felix Hernandez and Chad Billingsley come to mind. What is amazing is that at such a young age, all these pitchers are considered the ace of their respective staffs. With so much responsibility put on their shoulders (literally), it’s not uncommon for young pitchers...

The Need For An "Ace"

Personally, this entire mess started earlier today with Ken Rosenthal's false rumor about a Victor Martinez and Cliff Lee trade.Jon Weisman had a great comment about Rosenthal's failure as a journalist.The middle of today's game came with a distraction in the form of FoxSports.com gossip Ken Rosenthal passing along a typical unsubstantiated and ultimately false rumor involving a...

Is Ned Colletti on a Snipe Hunt?

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  July 30, 2009
Let's hope Mark Loretta doesn't get a chance to make his second pitching appearance of the season. At first the Dodgers were supposedly in the market for a starting pitcher. They haven't had a regular fifth starter all season, and critics complained that Chad Billingsley wasn't a real ace, or that Clayton Kershaw was too young to be counted on. But the Blue Jays were asking for...

New Sidebar Poll: Lifetime Pass

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  July 28, 2009
With those incessant trade rumors circulating around the media and blogosphere (blogomediasphere?) lately, much virtual ink has been spilled about what, if anything, the Dodgers should give up in order to fortify the team for a playoff run. Should we stick with the roster that got us here, or try to stay one step ahead of our NL neighbors? The mere thought of losing any of our...
