Chris Capuano (11-10, 3.63) vs. Matt Cain (13-5, 2.98).
How frustrating was last night's loss? I haven't felt so aggravated by the Dodgers since...Wednesday.
Anyhoo, here's how it's going for our Boys in Blue:
- Shane Victorino, acquired to be our leadoff hitter, has a .315 OBP since joining the team and is now batting second.
- Adrian Gonzalez, batting third, has 10 RBIs in 61 PAs as a Dodger.
- Despite his claims to the contrary, Matt Kemp is playing hurt.
- Our second-best starter and our closer are on the DL.
- The rest of our pitching staff is getting minimal run support.
It's becoming increasingly apparent the wild card is our ticket into the playoffs. So we'll drink to that — because there's so little to toast, yet so much to drink about.

I wish Fred's Brim were in town.
Kemp out of lineup today, per Ken Gurnik.
Let the "Should have rested Kemp on Wednesday" bitching commence!
Dylan Hernandez @dylanohernandez
Matt Kemp will miss the remainder of the #SFGiants series. Undergoing contrast MRI on shoulder today.
@Dusty - so does Fred's Brim. My liver needs to be taken behind the woodshed
This season has been so stupid. I bet without Matty in the lineup we score double-digit runs today. And probably still lose
I hate this team.
Drinking has commenced.
Margaritas at the Fest. Who cares if we suck.
SoSG Fest is on! Six Sons in the house, plus Quadsevens, Neeebs, and rbnlaw!
We are already about to lose!
I hate the Giants.
"Wash your pubes, Buster!"

Neeebs and I both think Pubes was safe there...
Drinking has commenced.
Drinking is perpetual.
Make up call there on Halney, for pubes.
Dusty is drinking something green.
I'm sticking with beer. Perpetual scares me.
Shut up McCarver
It's blue, Saxy!
Mostly.
Two innings, two DPs. Revenge of the Loney.
Are we 0-2 on SOSGFests?
DP.
I felt like I just got DP'd.
1-1, FB.
FB, even Jason made it out for SoSG Fest II (Attack of the Uribes). You have to come out for IV: A New Third Baseman
Uribe is never going away. They're gonna stick him in a Dodger Dog costume and have him dance on the Dance Cam.
Dusty is drinking Blue Long Island Iced Tea!
Thank Batman for football tomorrow.
Hah, that was a good one Karina.
It's actually a margarita with blue caracao.
Blue Curaçao is Kenley's nickname.
@Saxy I will be on the lookout for some droids
Nobody is paying attention to the crappy game. Bartender!!!!
@Neeebs: our hitters are especially guilty of that
@FB: I'm relying on you to keep me posted.
well guys, hope you have fun! i will be off, my farewell party is about to start :)
have fun, karina! Remember, liquor after beer, full of cheer!
@Karina: Maricaibo's loss is our gain.
Dos Equis and a margarita. Good times at the SoSG Fest!
@Neeebs our hitting has not wavered through 5
I'm drunk!
Bullshit. You're never drunk.
That was a terrible call! 1st base ump, you're fired!!
I'm drunk with power!
3rd base ump made up for the 1st base ump. I'll take it!
Man, so many things wrong about what that announcer just said.
We scored a run. Only took us six innings.
A RUN!!!!!!
"We're not losing!"
-chanted by all at SoSG
let's give them the run back - we don't play well when we are tied
Sorry I missed the festivities. Get drunk for me!
@AC: Thats not you under the table?
ahh that's better. Losing feels more natural
huh, what exactly happened there? Did they tag up after a line out to the pitcher?
C'mon, Bob.
get him home, Bobby
Thanks for the assist, Cain/Posey!
that's a Bobby Abreu at-bat. SABRly perfect, not that useful
wow - i'll take it!
Thanks Matty!
Where's my beeer? (in honor of Neeebs)
Abreu is the future of the organization
trying to GIDP. We get another chance to fail with RISP
SIGH!!!!
I cannot believe that there hasn't been a single Neeebs mother joke all day.
So far.
This is when Belli gives up a double, then a homer, then strikes out the side on nine more pitches
is it because she's the bartender?
I'm drunk with booze.
@Nomo - But what's your caption?
a nasty local nasty storm has delayed the Mets game so Fox has switched over to our game. I get to watch us lose in real time
and just like that, Belli walks a guy
and just as quickly, I have muted it
how was that not a DP?
Belli's not happy
Is this when Pence finally gets us?
nice work, Belli
GONZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AG!
NOW GET HIM HOME!!!
Orel just knocked over two tables and five drinks.
HANLEY!
That's the weakest Beat LA chant ever.
HANLEYWOULD
Steiner is clearly watching the Fox broadcast. He might actually be home in LA calling the game
oh Hanley
Batmandammit.
MOTA!
SkyActiv Technology? Didn't they build the Terminator?
Steve Carrell, are you playing a homeless man in your next movie?
*Carell
JUICE JUICE JUICE!
our relievers have real drug problems
sweet batman's son
Matty looks sick, injured and/or sad
Cmon, Brandon, finish this off
100
Fred's, we are toasting you now
Seriously, we just toasted you
No, really 100
Now
toasting me?! I wondered why it was feeling warm in here
Cmon, Brandon, you can do this
CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ!
Let's flip this switch and whoop Zito's ass tomorrow night
so what was said in the toast? good things I hope
"Playoffs!"
-SoSG Fest
WINNER
Basking in the afterglow of a good group dry-hump.
I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT TABLE
@Orel, that was no table, that was the busboy.
Things tackled by Orel In the last week:
-Sax
-A table
What am I missing?
On behalf of the commentators wing of the SOSG FEST, hearty thanks to the sons for hosting the drinks/grub get together.
Big thank you going out to all the Sons for today's festivities. It was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to doing it again.
Hey, did Dusty steal a beer from Delino? It wouldn't be SoSG Fest otherwise.
Mellis 2B
Victorino CF
Gonzalez 1B
Ramirez SS
Ethier RF
Cruz 3B
Rivera LF
Ajellis C
Capuano P
Because no one posted it.
What the hell did I miss?
Back in oc, safe and buzzed. (Wife drove, ease up CHP)
119
That was fun. Hearty thanks to all the Sons for organizing and the invite. Good to see/meet everyone and to enjoy the win!
Giants SUCK!
I am still drunk
Sax violated a direct order.
Cards lose!
Playoffs!
Fuck the Giants!
Fuck the playoffs!!!
Wait.
What?
Really good meeting Marla today. That was him bringing the pitchers, right?
^Lol
Shout out to all the wonderful SoSG loyal readers, commenters, lurkers, assorted bastards, and random n'er do wells who made it out today. Good times were had by all. Mad love to all you mofos.
I'm getting plastered in honor of my SoSG homies tonight. I was in the LA area earlier before the fest peeps but it was not meant to be. Next year though it is high priority.
The picture for this GT was eerily prescient.
What are you doing up at this hour?
I had the craziest dream last night. Something about a table.
Slackers, all of you. Give you guys and open bar and you lose all concept of time and space. No PGT, no Sunday GT. It's like Spanky is now running the blog.
Don't make me go all Willie McCovey on you.
@Neeebs
NFL scoreboard watching post is up.
2:01 pm scheduled GT.
Stubbs and Dusty hosted a live PGT at the venue.
And by "hosted a live PGT", I mean they kept drinking.
^LOL
Guilty as charged.
