Clayton Kershaw (7-6, 3.14) vs. Ryan Vogelsong (8-4, 2.26).
The Hanley Ramirez Dodgers era has started with a bang, and we're seeing just as clearly now, too. The addition of another potent bat to the lineup, augmenting the offensive powerhouses of Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, and James Loney (ha! just wanted to see if you were awake there), has made all the difference in the last two games, in which we've outscored the Giants 15-3.
Today gives the Dodgers a chance at a sweep of the Giants, a 7-3 road trip, and a move back into first place. All we need is Kershaw (coming off his worst start of the year, a 8 ER disaster in St. Louis) to beat Vogelsong (who hasn't lost at home since May 3 and sports a 1.41 ERA at home). No pressure, Minotaur!
Oh, and I'll be there today, wearing a Dodgers hat and t-shirt. Post if you'll be there and want to grab a beer! Go Dodgers!

Loney's last stand?
Loney's last stand Part 6. The final chapter?
These Malaysians are whipping the Loney out of the US team in badminton.
I'm in bleachers...
Bleachers, bleeeeach!
Eugenio! Email us and I will radio coordinates
This bay bridge traffic sucks. Why is SF the traffic capital of the world?
That is why I BART everywhere but then I need to take a antibacterial shower.
SF Marathon isn't helping these logistics
At Pete's Tavern, getting liquored up. Lots of LA Dodgers fans!
Scoreless after one.
"Sounds like the International Culinary Union, but all it is is 'I see you.'" —Vin, on Hanley's goggles gesture
Hey man we ain't losin'.
Clayton vs. Melky, one on, two out, bot 3.
Because I'm Public Enemy No. 1!
Here we to into the fourth, still scoreless.
Rivera single. Kemp single. Ethier up, no out.
@JonHeymanCBS: "#cubs proposed dempster-soriano package to #dodgers as alternative to just demp. so far not happening."
Ethier sacs Rivera to third. At least it's not a GIDP.
Hanley outruns to potential DP ball, scoring Rivera. 1-0 Dodgers, two out.
we scored!
Scutaro drops Loney's high pop-up, but Hanley stops at third. Should he have been running faster? I don't know.
Scutaro trade paying dividends already.
Hanley ain't much for hustle.
Cruz RBI double! 2-0 Dodgers.
Cruz keeps playing like this, there'll be no room for Dee when that cast comes off.
woohoo!
IBB Ellis to load 'em for Kershaw.
Gameday says Ajellis is 0-0 with a ground out and double. Alrighty then.
Clayton goes down hacking. Love it.
Cruz turns two! Is there nothing he can't do?
Wow, Hanley was nowhere near that pop-up to third.
1-2-3 for Kershaw. 2-0 Dodgers after 5.
Ethier singles to start the sixth. Let's Geico!
Hanley flies out. Loney singles. What's wrong with this picture?
Unintention IBB to Ajellis to Rancho Ardiendo 'em up for Clayton, again.
Full count! Kershaw fouls one back.
Another foul.
Dammit. But he went down swinging.
Wondering how the Sax/Mr. F/Eugenio's Streak summit is going/went.
BLOCK
We knocked Vogelsong out. At least he won't pick up another win against us today.
Mellis single!
Fuck Vogaldong!
Andre GIDP. Loney seething.
Scoar moar runz.
Stay on target.
I Steinered that Cruz foul ball.
RU(N)S
