Aaron Harang (7-5, 3.39) vs. Trevor Cahill (8-9, 3.86).
First place feels pretty good, no? Sweeping the Giants in their own stadium, outscoring them 19-3 over the three games, and watching Hanley Ramirez spark the lineup, all made for a wonderful weekend for Dodger fans. The first place blue ribbons match our outfits!
But lurking just round the bend (obscured by the Giants' Pablo Sandoval) are the Diamondbacks, last year's NL West winner and only 4.5 games behind us and the Giants. Tonight starts a three game series before an off-day, while the Giants host the LOLMets for four (in which they'll miss R.A. Dickey, unfortunately). So we're going to have to take this series if for nothing else than to defend multiple flanks.
No, not "flank steaks", Juan Uribe. Calm down.
UPDATE 4:54p: SoSG Stubbs will be there in the Loge section tonight! Post a comment if you're there and need accomplices for your heroic ventures at the Stadium.

I'll be there! Loge 151, for the sexually adventurous.
I love loge.
and lamp.
Hey Stubbs! I'll alter the post.
Won't be there tonight so keep up the good fight!
I'm there too. Field 40.
Dusty: not up in dat bish
Goldschmidt HR (14) with Parra and Hill on.
Harang isn't even out of the first yet.
Well, shit. Goldschlager goes deep.
Already down 3 and surrounded by DBag fans.
Seven batters and three runs to get three outs. Sheesh.
3-0 AZ after 0.5 innings
Is it just me, or does Cahill look kind of like Francis Buxton from 'Pee-Wee's Big Adventure'?
Magic's there.
mets and giants, scoreless in the third
After this start, I bet Ned is ready to trade Lee, Webster, and Reed for Dempster
ok lets get one back this inning
LEADOFF SINGLE!!!!
Okay, let me temper that excitement a bit
especially given Harang just got an out. Sac bunt, but still.
fer christ's sake, the asshole just walked the guy in front of you. take a goddamn pitch!
I HATE YOU, JUAN RIVERA
Why is Rivera the 2 hitter again?
WSJ Accuscore gives the Giants a 65% chance of winning. Sure enough, they're up 1-0 in the fourth.
not sure I can watch this one without kicking something
I hope you guys can get us back in this one. gnite all
Well this is a big old greasy turd.
Matt swinging at everything that moves.
HanRam w stolen base then an error on catcher. Standing a 3rd with two outs.
NYM 2, SF 1, bot 4.
Soriano???? REALLY Ned?
Mets take 2-1 lead
Harang gives up a grand slam to make it 7-0. Checking out of this one, folks. Sorry some Sons had to be there to see this pitching shitfest. Really terrible effort, Harang. To the bullpen for you.
7-0. This is not a good outing for Aaron Harang.
Goddamn!
Pence to SF as per Jerry Crasnick:
Three team trade emerging: #Giants, #Padres, #Phillies. Pence to SF; Belt, LHP Joe Savery to SD, Gary Brown, Headley to Phi.
NYM 2, SF 2, bot 5.
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE.
Uh, yeah, it's fake, Sax.
Sax got Dittmored.
I love how ESPN captured this re Soriano earlier:
"With the non-waiver trade deadline approaching at 3 p.m. CT Tuesday, Soriano, 36, said he would consider a trade depending on the team and the city involved.
"It will have to be a good city with a good team," Soriano said Sunday. "I would give the team the opportunity to trade me, but as I said the team and city would have to be good."
And now we know that Soriano has vetoed a trade to SF. Hence, he doesn't think it is a good city with a good team. He's right!
we strike back for one run in the bottom of the sixth.
SF takes a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth.
Now the account has been deleted.
This suuuuucks.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP THE BON JOVI
Uh-oh. Nomo's got cellular reception. Crowd must be thin as Velez.
Rivera promptly doubles off him.
45
Dodgers going for more on each hit, trying to make a point re Parra stealing second w a 7-run lead.
That's fine. I'd rather us just throw at Parra.
Loney to the resc... (cries)
How did I get a conflicting edit with myself?
Sergio Romo gives up a 2-run HR to Scott Hairston to tie the game at 4 up in non-Sorianoville.
Glad Donnie is running through all these pitchers on a night we're down by five runs late.
Mets tie it at four.
Sorry about the fake crasnick thingy, guys.
I'm sick of Pence, none the richer.
Romo's crumbling again! 5-4 LOLMets
7-2 through eight. If this game were only 17 innings long, we'd have a chance at tying it.
6-4 Mets in the 8th!
Wait, I forgot I was supposed to have turned off the TV and stomped off to bed in disgust about an hour and a half ago.
Gwynn looks at two strikes to start the AB.
NOW I'm turning off the TV.
Mets giving up the lead in the bottom of the ninth.
6-5, Oyster Pubes on second, none out
PGT up.
Dodger picked up League. Post coming.
