So I thought I'd try my hand at starting the Game Thread. Last time I had a win streak it was 9 games long (last year).
I don't know how to do them all fancy, and I don't have line ups. So I guess I'm just bringing luck today.
Nick got a win yesterday. Is Nick not around?
Brookster:Nick got a win yesterday. Is Nick not around?
I'm guessing not, which reminds me to throw in my obligatory: if you're to start a game thread, always make sure you can start another one, if they win!
IF he doesn't do anything by first pitch, we'll stick with this one, although could you also retitle the thread, BM, to include it as a "non-game thread?" Yes, we're that freakishly superstitious.

Wash your hair and take a shower Timmy.
Somebody forgot to tell Vin the Dodgers were at home yesterday.
Poor fella, he has no ideaSo, my wife isn't happy because the Eagles got their asses kicked. My daughter is bummed because her Panthers lost. It is sort of liberating to no longer have a team (though I do kinda like the Chargers and, last I saw, they were winning.)
Now, back to the real game: Beat Stinky!
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!MVP hits one out to give the Blue a 2-1 lead!

And, even though I don't put much stock in the RBI statistic, Ethier has officially passed the 100 RBI milestone to now give him 101 RBI's. What an incredible year for him.

Clearly, if he isn't in the top 5 in MVP voting (Pujols is the rightfully deserving lock), there is no justice.

We don't call him "Jailbait" for no reason.
Poor fella, he has no ideaJailbait getting knocked around.

The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!Jailbait put to bed.
Poor fella, he has no ideaSweet sound to my ears: Toes is trying to find information about partial ticket packages for Dodger Stadium in 2010 

Stinky can now go the showers. He won't, but he can.
The Easternmost in Quality...the Westernmost in Flavor!!I've been trying to figure out who Jailbait reminded me of, and I think I finally came up with it:

Stop it Vin, Sandoval is NOT the Panda. He's just fat.
