What. Is. The. Point? Why even go through all the motions to have one's hopes lofted when Jerry Sands doubles in Rod Barajas, notching the Dodgers' first run of the game in the ninth inning (only one Dodger, Russ Mitchell, had reached third base all game--and that was in the fifth inning)?
And then seeing Bruce Bochy call for Brian Wilson, a precarious disaster of a closer (and believe me, we know that type well)? Just to watch Jay Gibbons, who can't even see the ball, get walked by Wilson on five pitches? And then watch James Loney, pinch hitting for Ramon Troncoso, also get walked on five pitches to load 'em up?
So up comes* Jamey Carroll, one of the three Dodgers hitting north of .300, with two out and rancho ardiendo? But of course, it's a tease. Carroll's bloop to right field didn't drop. And the Dodgers didn't win. In fact, we gave a Giants pitcher his first win of the year. And we drop to five below .500, wrapping up a solid 2-5 homestand.
At least, I suppose, this loss goes down easier than last night's game-tying rally in the eighth (only to lose it right after that in the ninth).
But SoSG is here to give you upside, in the form of other teases that aren't late night talk show hosts wearing kilts. Enjoy, readers!
(*) Yes, I'm changing tenses all over the place. I'm pissed off. And, I'm pissing off. And I am to be pissed off.

Hey, that's Nigel Wick!
Just out of curiosity, are Nick and Paul from the Unicron* fantasy league the SoSG regulars Nic and Paul?
*Intentional misspelling
You'd think this would have to piss these guys off, getting beat down - at home - again.
It's gotta. No?
I don't think so unless my evil personality has a proclivity for unicorns.... again.
Nah, not me.
I love baseball too much to ruin it by playing fantasy, but I sit through these games everynight so it can't be any worse than this.
So can it be a real SoSG fantasy league if no SoSG regulars participate?
maybe it is fantasy league of a fantasy league.
Sweet shit-sucking mary mother of god damn crap., why do you torture us so???!!!!!
Sorry I'm late on this:
Drinking Manhattans in the back bar of Pacific Dining Car, Vinny!
Well I guess Tron didn't implode.
Wait, I thought the season already ended.
Can I still vent my annoyed displeasure by drinking to excess?
It's working for me,Jason>

It's our only recourse.
Can we hire Bianca as our designated hitter?
