Post-Game 1 Thread: All Alone In First Place

DODGERS 5, PADRES 3

On the way to 162-0!

(Orel here.) The bad: Clayton Kershaw has the flu. Even worse: Which means Vin Scully said "diarrhea."

The good: Kershaw "gutted" it out (ha ha, get it?) for three scoreless innings. The bad: The bullpen got stretched out. The good: two holds, one save and one win among five relievers.

The good: Matt Kemp hit what turned out to be the game-winning two-run home run. The bad: There's nothing bad about Matt Kemp.

The bad: Dee Gordon went 0 for 5. The good: He was great in the field and turned a Cameron Maybin error into an (unofficial) triple.

The good: The Padres made three errors. The bad: Again, nothing bad about that.

Everyone else can just plain suck it.

Even on opening day at Petco the place sounded very blue friendly.

GT today felt good. Real good.*


*Other than the aforementioned technical difficulties.

I had to bail out on the fun after 200 comments - for whatever reason I didn't have a "newest" comments link when I refreshed. I blame Frank McCourt:...

Hey guys, we're undefeated!!!

Alex, I think we figured out if you make a comment then a link to the latest comments appears. At least it encourages conversation.

Sweet, thanks Orel!
