Is it time to talk about the Dodgers' home woes yet? Six wins in six series (three of those against that dessicated remains of the 2012 Cubs) is not going to get it done if we're going to compete down the stretch. If the issue is that the team is pressing, the proverbial fire is only going to get hotter season grinds on, starting with tonight. The difference between a half-game deficit and trailing by two-and-a-half isn't insurmountable in a month and change, but AWO applies to games as well as innings.

Please win this game...
I know it's probably not a must-win, but it goddamn feels like it.
I am hoping to 1-2 in this series
Nomo-stradamus Prediction:
One of these teams will be up by one game going into the final three-game series.
Henry Schulman @hankschulman
Posey out with hamstring injury. More TK
Pubes scratched because of hamstring, Bochy says.

Don't worry I'm on my way down with my 6-0 home record and I'm bring my gangnam style with me!
I'll be in 5rs so hit me up!
I saw a dude passed out behind the kwik-e-mart clutching a Steel Reserve tall boy like it's his mother.
In unrelated news, where's Spank at?
While I will always celebrate Giants dropping like flies, it won't make us hit any better.
he is in your house and drinking your beer.
That is entirely possible, Paul. Someone's got to drink it while I'm out of town.
Just make sure you get a new toothbrush when you return.
Can we get some wins up in this bishe?
DBT no make party long time...
Adrian Gonzalez placed on waivers.
He'd be a gazillion times better than Loney/Rivera.
If they put in a claim on Lee, ya gotta figure they go for AGon too.
Who would we have to give up to get him?
I have my toothbrush with me. You don't want to know what that one is for.
Trade him for Loney and Uribe straight up. Juan can't hit for shit, but if there's anything he does know, it's fried food and beer. Think it over, beantown!
I say we throw in Kennedy and Wright if they act now!!...or later.

Apparently I'm two days too late!
I heard the word that it was going to happen, but I didn't see it go down.
If that's not the perfect replacement for DSB, I don't know what is.
can't seem to find the youtube of Stubbs dancing to that song with a beer in each hand but I know it is out there.
@Eugenio's Streak: thanks for bringing the love to the Stadium tonight
Posting that video without my knowledge or expressed written consent is what got Mr. C sent to Azkaban.
Nice use of the pi symbol in the GT, Sir Stubbs
@Streak
Main page updated for Gangnam Style proximity.
Dylan Hernandez @dylanohernandez
Andre Ethier has a popped blister on his right palm. Could be scratched from lineup today: http://lat.ms/TVTDtq
All we need is Uribe to report a hangnail, and we'd be free.
Blistered palm, eh?
I could have bet on who would notice that first. Vegas had Sax at 2/5, though.
Surely Dre didn't get that blister "Kirk Gibson bobblehead" style?
Adrian Beltre definitely kickin it Gangnam style tonight. 3 HRs so far incl two in one inning.
So will Ethier just (astro)glide onto the DL?
'k, y did you have to go there, Saxy?
How about not giving up a first inning run tonight?
Not a good start.
Since this may become relevant, Atlanta and St Louis are winning. Pittsburgh lost to the Padres
I am already angry.
*sigh*
Cap's already down 1-0
Oh, Monday's game again. Wheeee.
Why are all the fans in the pavilion stands on our MLB GameDay wearing red?
Whisky Tango Foxtrot, SoSGes?
My friend from work know Pence's sister somehow. I assume biblically
@Stubbs - you need a little hooch to dance the tango and foxtrot at the same time
Con of a sunt.
FUCK
that is terrible
godammit
and we won't hit a ball that hard all game
epale everyone!
I feel pretty pessimistic about this team tonight :(
It's easy to be pessimistic when given such an outstanding reason to be.
Well thanks for getting it done early guys so i can go for my bike ride.
Look. If we can't show up for Dodgers-Giants, we deserve to lose.
take the walk, asshole!
OK, I'm giving myself 15 minutes to be pissed off about it, then I'm done.
if karina is pessimistic, we may as well just forfeit
yeah, you can foul out to Giants infielders all night long, that's nice
*cries*
No game on the TV, is the crowd minimal?
Meanwhile 3 runs against Cain? No problem. Release the Uribe!!! *cries*
getting a lot of air on those
@Paul - crowd looks decent, the ends of the upper deck are clear but the rest looks ok
this team is so weird
They needed another free doll night. I think Ross Porter should get his own bobblehead.
Mmmmmmm Porter.
hey it's the Heat coach sitting next to Magic!
I agree FB. This season seems like it has gone on for 7 years with all the ups and downs and changes.
nice work, Cap
Beltre hits into dp no four homer night...loser.
@Paul - Jon Weisman had a post a few weeks back where he said he would almost rather just wake up at the end of the season and see what happened. It's series like these that make me agree with that sentiment
let's start with a hit
How sad is it that it is the bottom of the 2nd and I am already fearing a perfect game? I need therapy.
rolling rock can cracked
Vin: "very playable"
that describes us well
woohoo no no-hitter!
damnation, nice play keeps us off the scoreboard
This is really fucking depressing.
I'm kinda glad I'm nowhere near the Stadium or I might be going apeshit
how did this dingus hit a homer?
nice inning, Cap
Mid-four, down 3-0
I forgot to check Kemp's line last night; how bad is his streak now?
cmon, Mehllis, get us started
@FB, I'm farther away from Chavez Ravine than even you
@Sax, I think he had a hit and an RBI last night (not at the same time though)
@Sax how about now? I just switched to the east end of the couch
Mellis lead off double!
We won't score anyway, but still.
well-placed fly ball by mehllis for a double. how will we W this O?
@FB: wait, let me measure...
Yes.
No orangutans where I am however
@Saxy seriously though, where u @?
Re: Beltre's 3-HR night: it's not like we need that at third base or anything, given what we've got today (or what we've had since).
(cries)
Matty needs to let the beard grow out
Matty with a nubber to second, mehllis gets to third, Dre to K, Hanley to fly out to end the inning
Execute, goddammit! Get him home!
Yep, that's about how this game is going to go for us.
FUCKKKKKKKK
christ - at least try!
Remember back when we owned Cain?
Ever since he's started hanging out with Melky, Cain has been much better. I'm just saying.
Ice cream cone? I could go for some ice cream
fuckaduck
this is getting reallllly old
he didn't have control of that as he came off the base
Steve Sax said...
@FB: just hit you back on email. Can't divulge location on public channels without violating the witness protection program.
Bangor, Maine must be nice this time of year
@DBT ice cream may be the only enjoyment you get tonight
this ump doesn't like that pitch inside to righties. if that asshole would have called any of those close pitches in the first, this would be a different game
Bangor? I hardly know her.
that was pathetic, Vic
godammit, we needed that
this makes me really sad.
why can't we do this?
why can't we do this this week? we did it last week
My only consolation is this might be the last time the Giants win the division for a while.
SPEND, OWNERSHIP SPEND!!!!
Why take Cap out now?
Not that I'm watching, but we look as lost as the Giants looked up there in SF last series. Meh,
Spend on WHAT? The FA market is thin as hell now.
Adrian Gonzalez.
why am I still watching this?
@Sax it feels like everything we throw is going to be hit and everything they throw will be tapped or popped somewhere. It feels like those playoff series with Philly
or the Colorado series a couple of weeks ago
and there's no reason for any of it
Maybe there is something to LFP's theory about the LA on the mound being bad luck.
Tolleson's tired from all that tether ball he played today.
The Dodgers have been pretty mediocre in divisional play this season, 23-25 after we lose tonight.
gadzooks what is wrong with us
To be fair to Tolleson this game was probably over after that first run was scored.
Can we at least be sore losers and hit someone?
Well, at least we knocked Sandoval out. To Denny's, that is.
...and that counts kicking the crap out of SD for half a season, too, Nic.
take Dre out if his hand hurts
hoo
ray
yawn
Sweet shitsucking jesus. I'd rather go back to the HOA meeting I just left; it was less painful than this game.
yay let's ruin Rubby now
6-1! We're coming back, you assholes!!!
I need a foot Rubby.
HOA meeting: higher fees, bad groundskeeping, electrical upgrades needed
Dodger Stadium: lower parking fees, pristine groundskeeping, but wifi upgrades needed
but you got that special kind of sadness
you got that tragic set of charms
that only comes from time spent in Los Angeles.
Did that throw ever even get to 2B?
Free Jerry Sands - and let him pitch!
I blame Stubbs for all this.
I am off all other forms social media. Can't stand the Giant fans right now.
Just us here, the antisocial media.
I there a time you CAN stand the Gnats fans, Paul?
145
I can stand them when I am pointing and laughing at them.
gnite all
A pessimist is a romantic who has had his heart broken too
many times. Or something like that. Either way we suck and just had our asses kicked in our own backyard. Fuckin sucks.
Maybe they just need the off day to get their heads right.
Jeff Kent was right. Mustaches rule.
SSPGT Up!
