Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Nathan Eovaldi (1-6, 4.33) vs. Jon Niese (7-4, 3.58).
What is it about New York that brings out the unlikeliest behavior in the Dodgers? They've scored 15 runs in their first two games at Citi Field, with Juan Uribe and James Loney combining to go 4 for 8 with five RBI and four runs yesterday. Today the Dodgers can complete their first sweep in forever by giving Nate Eovaldi some decent run support. In fact, I'd like to see them make a habit of it.

At Nationals Park, Vinny!

Still time to jump on the subway and make it to the stadium, FB.

and Murphy weasels a single through the right side
And the fun begins. 1st & 2nd, no out for the Mets.
big K from Nate for out number 1
popup for out number 2
Matty nearly gets eaten up by that but it's thee third out. I'll take it
Good job by Eo to get out unscathed.

Big K for the second out. Now finish this
Nate gets the pitcher for the third out
2-1 good guys
Goddamn Giants stop winning! I want to kick ALL the balls.

Ellis gets on with a ball that eats up Wright's backhand
Matty just missed that one
Smart baserunning by Mellis. Let's get some Geico here!
Dre knocks in Ellis! 3-1
Would have been a closer play at the plate if Niese hadn't slowed down the outfielder's throw. But we'll take it! 3-1 Dodgers.
Q*bert in for another inning against the Mets' lefty squad.

Oh no. Hey, I have to turn my cell phone off to fly. I leave this to you guys. Win it!
If we lose this it's Fred's brim's fault
Orel, I specifically leave this to YOU.
I'll be back when gogo inflight comes on
Depending on how much gogO inflight is
We escape the 7th.
GO DODGERS!!!!!!
I got this, Sax. Guaranteed win.
Orel, can I use SoSG funds to reimburse gogo inflight expenses? What will the CFO say?
Ellis with a hard shot off Wright.
Let's see if Matty and Dre can get us a run back
Matty with a hard single to left
Mellis single! Kemp single!
Orel, you got it. We're counting on you.
#LeslieNielsen
@Sax, I will take full responsibility as long as I can take Orel down with me
"What will the CFO say?"
I'm surprised Delino isn't at Citi Field right now.
Where is Urine with his late-game two-run HR?
Damn Dre, take a pitch
FB, the Citi Field Shake Shack is overrated anyway.
@Sax how can it be overrated? It has such a long line
Bobby works the count but can't get anything to hit
Luis Cruz is our last chance to not WAO
AWO
Thole with a one-out single
