DODGERS 4, GIANTS 0
In a complete reversal of the last (horrific) trip to San Francisco, the Dodgers complete a three-game SWEEP(!!!) of the Giants, to climb back into (a tie for) first place in the NL West.
Clayton Kershaw was masterful, pitching a complete game shutout. It was, as Vin noted several times during the telecast, the first time the Dodgers have shut out the Gnats in back-to-back games in SF since the teams moved west.
Today wasn't as much of the Hanley Show as the last two days, but it's clear he's rubbing off on the rest of the lineup. Everybody threw up the above gesture when they got on base!
Luis Cruz continued his attempt to de-Gordon the Dodgers with a double, 2 RBI, and some dazzling glove work. A.J. Ellis had the most A.J. Ellis game possible, walking four times.
Dodgers finish the road trip 7-3 (which is flippin' AMAZING after some of those games in St. Louis), and, perhaps more importantly, Sax evens the Sons' road record at 1-1.
Home tomorrow against the D-Backs. We've got first place back, boys. Let's keep it for good this time.

Ice (on Kershaw's wrist) and Loney (2 for 5, R), the San Francisco sweep!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Loney's un-Loneyness.
(Though he did strike out into a DP.)
"the first time the Dodgers have shut out the Gnats in SF since the teams moved west"
Wait, really?
Oops. Hold on a sec.
Fixed.
Nice.
"de-Gordon." Love it.
Got hammered at my local MEX w the Dustettes. Mrs Dusty is "making" me take us to the game tomorrow night based on how she thinks we need to be there to welcome HanRam to DS. And the next night I'll be there with MDIL on KG bobblehead night.
Dodgers financial an PR teams: If you meant to woo us to stadium presence with nostalgia and important acquisitions, it's working.
That win was sooooooooo sweet.
Reposting from orher thread: fanerman: rendezvous complete. Beer purchased
Dodgers: victory complete
Giants: suck
I will be there tomorrow too, belatedly celebrating my bro-in-law's birthday.
Trade for all the bloated contracts!
@Nomo
Let's coordinate so we can dry hump!
woop! great weekend!
16 unanswered runs, or 21 inning scoreless streak. Shoe is on the other foot now!
That Pope pic is going on my gnats-loving cousin's Facebook wall.
Eugenio! We're you there today?!
Whooooooooo hoooo! I'm flying home and I'm blitzed!!!!
Love the Admirals Club free alcohol
Huuuuuuuuge win
Whoooooooooooo
(falls asleep during takeoff)
We make party by stopping on pumpkins!!
Stomping or something close. SF Dutch bags.
Dangit i always wanted to fly, but everyone is too scared.....i might be out there for the next series, but i refuse to meet Sax if he doesn't have his face blurred out or a giant happy face in front of it...
You know what sucks?
Sunday return traffic from Vegas.
You know what doesn't suck?
A FUCKING DODGER SWEEP!
Although listening to it in the car for almost the entire 5 hour drive did suck a little.
Of course you placed money on the Dodgers, right?
You're my hero, Sax.
@truebluela: "RT @CSNBaggs: KPIX-TV is reporting that the Giants have a 'deal in place' for Hunter Pence, pending ownership approval."
I'm awake! We have landed! We can't taxi to the gate because there's a plane sitting there! Fuck!
Great exchange with the gate attendant on the way down the jetway. I'll have to post about it...
@truebluela: "RT @CSNBaggs: Giants VP Bobby Evans texts that there's 'no truth to the rumor' the Giants have a deal in place for Pence."
Welcome back, Sax! Good job cursing AT&T Park today.
I was out in the bleachers with my Lucky charm. My wife was 4-0 this season, now 5-0. Also we brought a sacrificial lamb, my sister, the albatross gnats fan who has never seen the gnats win a game, EVER, as in in the last 39 years, EVERY game she has been to, the gnats have lost!!!
Well, shit. Hit a snag and likely won't get over there tonight. Definitely tomorrow night, though.
Damn, I see how it is.
*checks self for stank*
Wait, wait, wait.
You can bet on sports in Vegas?
Who was in charge of that info? Somebody goofed.
