Game 123 Thread: August 20 vs. Giants, 7p

What do you mean I can't use executive privilege for that?
 Clayton Kershaw (11-6, 2.90) vs. Madison Bumgarner (13-7, 2.97)

Gee, are we going to talk about PEDs now that the Giants are in town? Even setting aside the (completely understandable) schadenfreude and the turnabout-is-fair-play needling of Giants apologists who were all too ready to pile on when the Dodgers lost their own slugging outfielder not-so-very-long ago, this was always going to be a series to get fired up for.

The Dodgers get both Bumgarner and Cain this time around (on either side of a Timmeh sandwich), so it's critical that they bring some of that offensive momentum back with them from their successful road trip. Counting today, there are nine more games with San Francisco left, so it would be fantastic if we could put them on the defensive to start the final quarter of the season.

@rbnlaw: I know that there are more than a few big-and-tall men's shops here in The OC to serve The Panda's sartorial needs.

LAST CALL FOR RUNS

Back to back to back homeruns can't be that hard to do again right?

Unknown said...

@Spank: It's surprisingly good and consistent. Nice acid structure and long, spicy finish. I've now started calling the Oak Leaf SB my baby Sasncerre.

Yes, I am a wine nerd. I admit my sin.

Unknown said...

* Sancerre

spank said...

Fuck. You. Romo.

Steve Sax said...

This is not looking good guys

Paul said...

That was great.

Franklin Stubbs said...

An appreciation for booze in its myriad of forms is what makes us all one big happy alcoholic family here, CB.

Franklin Stubbs said...

Also: Fuck. This. Noise.

Dusty Baker said...

This game makes me want to plunger rape an orangutan.

Franklin Stubbs said...

So say we all, DB.

Steve Sax said...

@Chad: you're in the wine biz? We must talk.

Care to sponsor SoSG Fest III?!?!

Franklin Stubbs said...

I fully anticipate the solo shot followed by a Rivera groundout for maximum heartbreak here.

Unknown said...

Mellis K

Orel said...

Dusty Baker said...

Buh-bye, ball!

Unknown said...

HamRam HR! AT LAST!

Steve Sax said...

So, it's not a shutout!

Paul said...

Close your eyes Rivera!

MR.F said...

HanRam!

spank said...

I'd rather have Miguel from Bad News Bears bat than Rivera.

Paul said...

Now i have to endure a commercial break for a first pitch groundout?

Paul said...

Oh Dre up. Lefty up. Crap.

Orel said...

Real or fake?

2 strikes. Wither and die.

Dusty Baker said...

I want to T-bone Zito in WeHo tonight.

@Stubbs at 9:49 p.m.: That's why I've been a happy SoSG reader before today, and a happy (I fear) poster starting this afternoon.

@DB at 9:49 p.m.:That's a terrifying image.

Let's keep this going, Dre!

Franklin Stubbs said...

Different batter, same result.

spank said...

Fucking Dre.


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Unknown said...

WAAAAAHHHH!

(cries)

Paul said...

Oh well.

Steve Sax said...

It's ok boys, we are just getting them overly confident.

Nostradamus said...

@Stubbs @9:57

Nice effort, though. For a rook.

MR.F said...

Sigh.

Unknown said...

What a waste of a nice start -- as well as a gorgeous mid-game catch -- by Kersh.

Crap on rye.

(swallows last sips of Cosmopolitan, tonight's nightcap)

Franklin Stubbs said...

Good game thread, bad result.
