Good evening all and welcome to the Giants/Dodgers liveblog for this evening

I'm your host Drew aka Lloyd the Barber

We could be in for a good time tonight, as both pitchers are young studs to watch. Clayton Kershaw is younger than your sister and twice as pretty, but he's giant curve keeps the hitters in tears like your kid sister
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 1:55:43 AM
Pitching for the Giants is Matt Caine, the erstwhile Face of the Franchise before Tim Lincecum's cherubic visage stole that honor away
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 1:59:32 AM
How about some lineups? The 2-5 Giants are the road team, coming off an 11-1 thrashing at the hands of these Dodgers

Heck ya Orlando Hudson hit for the cycle yesterday. He's best days may be behind him, though that will likely go down as his Best Day.
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:06:02 AM
Travis Ishikawa gets the night off tonight against lefty Kershaw, our loss. Rich Aurilia starts in his place; we lose again.
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:07:37 AM
Obviously tonight is a big night all around baseball, as every player salutes Jackie Robinson by wearing his number 42. You can't say enough about his impact on the culture of a country, let alone a sport
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:08:36 AM
Some guy named Ramirez starts in left for the Dodgers tonight, anybody know anything about him? He doesn't have any homers this year, I wonder why they've got him hitting third
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:09:38 AM
Vin Scully people, I wish you were sitting where I am
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:11:14 AM
First pitch, ball one!
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:11:21 AM
Kershaw falls behind but at least he's working quickly. Leadoff man Randy Winn flys out to medium center field, one down!
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:12:22 AM
All the players are wearing number 42 as I said, but they aren't wearing their names either. Edgar Renteria's number 42 may indicate his actual age
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:13:18 AM
Kershaw falls behind again but quickly evens the count at two. He's trying...
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:14:10 AM
Fastball right down the middle sets Renteria down, the radar gun registers it at a robust 55 mph. I think that may be off
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:14:50 AM
Fred Lewis is the number 3 hitter, he is also awesome
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:15:13 AM
During Barry Bonds's final season, he said Fred Lewis had the nicest swing on the team
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:15:36 AM
Big slow curveball clocks in a 70 mph just misses. Kershaw comes back with a fastball up and in at 94. Fred Lewis walks back to the dugout wondering what just happened. Inning over, no score!
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:17:13 AM
Vin Scully one man booth FTW
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:18:20 AM
The Dodgers spent money this offseason like your kid sister after she stole Dad's credit card
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:18:59 AM
Furcal gives the first pitch a swinging bunt that rolls out to short. Throw is late and Furcal is on.
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:19:59 AM
O-Dog hit for the cycle, he should retire the double earflap helmet
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:20:23 AM
Your a man now Orlando, dress the part
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:20:34 AM
Matt Cain throws a fastball, curveball, slider and occasionally mixes in a changeup. Mid ninties on the heat, mid 80s on the breaking stuff
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:22:00 AM
Hudson gets ahead of Cain, with the count 2-1 Furcal takes off. High fastball and a strong throw get him at second. One down, full count
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:22:49 AM
Another excuse me swing, another base hit. O-Dog knocks it through the left side, he's on base for MANNY!
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:23:31 AM
Manny is the Pope of Los Angeles
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:23:48 AM
His on base percentage is over .500, he's in 100% of our hearts
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:24:27 AM
Manny lays off a fastball just low and away. That's why he's great
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:25:03 AM
3-1 to Ramirez is low, he picks up his 12th walk in 9 games
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:25:48 AM
Two on for foody Andre Either. The epicurial left handed hitter loves hitting behind Manny, because he's a human being
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:26:53 AM
Possible double play bouncers off Aurilia's skillet, they only get the runner at first.
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:27:27 AM
Russell Martin steps in with two in scoring position with two out. Russ Martin is better than your kid sister at everything
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:27:59 AM
Cain falls behind 3-0 before getting one back quickly
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:29:08 AM
Cain makes a good pitch in an important spot there, keeping his 3-1 fastball down and away from Martin's power. Full count, two out!
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:29:45 AM
Cain's working that bottom right corner against right handed hitters but the ump won't give it to him. Bases loaded for James Loney
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:30:25 AM
Vin Scully just quoted F Scott Fitzgerald. I think I may weep
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:30:43 AM
Vin Scully, don't you ever change.
/end cheerleading
by 310ToJoba
Big gravities rainbow curve for strike one to Loney. I'm trying to keep up with Scully and failing
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:31:18 AM
Cheerleading for Vin Scully is more than acceptable, it's damn well encouraged
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:31:46 AM
Cain's behind again, that doesn't bode well.
by LloydtheBarber at 4/16/2009 2:32:07 AM
VIN SCULLY DROPS SCIENCE. I didn't know it was a balk if he drops the ball from the rubber, there you go
