SoSG Fest III: The Aftermath Edition
I'm frankly shocked that anyone had the wherewithal to post a game thread given the mayhem that ensued at yesterday's SoSG Fest. Many of us in attendance yesterday likely woke up and said, "Wait, the Dodgers actually won a game?" For the record, the Dodgers are now 2-1 on SoSG Fest days. Pictures - at least those that are suitable for publication - to follow.
Today we take on the Pumpkins in the rubber match of the weekend series, but more importantly, it's an opportunity to make up more ground on the Hated Ones. We currently stand 4.5 games out of first, and half a game out of the wild card. Every game feels like a playoff game, and is, really. Put your seat belts on, kids, because this going to be a bumpy ride the rest of the season.
One more note for the file: overwhelming consensus based on a decidedly unscientific poll at yesterday's SoSG Fest said the Dodgers would NOT make the playoffs. Nomo was the only Son to think that we would. Pessimism - or realism? cc: Karina
UPDATE: Kershaw is a late scratch with what is initially being reported as a hip issue. (cries)
MORE CONCRETE INFO RE KERSHAW, per Ken Gurnick: "Kershaw has a sore hip that received a cortisone injection Saturday. He might start Tuesday. Joe Blanton was told Saturday he might start."

Son of a nutcracker.
What's the point of hoping to make the post-season if we'd just be a joke there too?
Fred's Brim wins.
Someone should.
@Orel
That's exactly the point I was making yesterday. This is not a team set up to progress in the playoffs.
Victorino, Eisenreich. What other players killed/annoyed us, then came to play for us and sucked? I am sure there are more good ones. Sounds like a project for Gnomes
I know they're professionals and are trying their hardest, but damn...it doesn't seem like it.
Blanton.
@FB
Juan Marichal?
Nice over-the-railing catch by Luis Cruz. That will be our Highlight of the Night™.
Don't worry guys, heart of the order coming u...
Oh yeah, I forgot.
Can't wait for this season to be over.
@DB how did that ever happen? That's like Truman adding Stalin to his cabinet
@FB
Good question. I always thought it was a PR stunt engineered by Marichal to try to salvage his rep.
Looking forward to A-Gon's meaningless single.
@Nic, I kind of wish Pittsburgh would get hot soon and make Sept meaningless. More meaningless
@DB - I could see that. But a cnut is a cnut, no matter how you crack it
Any idea who controls @Dodgers?
CHEATERRRRRR
@Orel: I do.
@Orel somebody with very little creativity? RallyTommy? Really?
DAMMMIT!
Oh wait, are referring to @Dodgers equating a hall of Fame manager with a monkey?
DefeatSF is terrible as well
Permission to reply?
@LAKings is perfect. Feisty yet supportive. @Dodgers feels like someone's mom is running it.
You are the TweetBoss, Nomo.
You have my permission!
the "equating a hall of Fame manager with a monkey" needs to be said
Embarrassing that I ever thought this team could make the playoffs. Wait 'til next year.
They're doing the best they can on the @Dodgers feed. And they have to keep it clean for all audiences.It's not like they can, well, Tweet the kind of stuff we do.
TW cable decided I was done watching the game. Cable box is rebooting on its own.
If you get us banned, this is on you Gnomes!
@Quad - can they do mine too? Please?
@7777
Wise cable box.
Did Shulman just say what we were all thinking about that idiot VaGiants fan?
attaboy, Jamie!
Jamey
Now put one on his shin
Stadium full of Steiners.
The ESPN Giantsgasm continues.
now i'll see Pat-centric ads when I come here - wonderful
is this the kid coming in?
RBN's lad is coming in to pitch.
PACO!
A cable car in front of a Forever 21 in an historical building. You are wonderful, SF
Honeycutt already planning how to ruin him
nice job, Paco!
Good start for Paco.
Per Dodgers:
"Paco becomes the 1st player from the 2012 Draft to appear in a MLB game."
Isn't Bochy overdoing it with the pitching changes? I mean, we're down four.
@Orel
We're down 4, and we're us.
Meanwhile, this Peyton Manning thing seems to be working out so far for Denver.
And fuck chardonnay.
Ajellis with the meaningless single!
I like how we're all silent while we watch the inevitable.
We are resigned to our fate.
Punto: scrappy
dreadful
MFPGT up!
Karina is really going to hate it.
@Orel: I think you mistakenly added an "s" in there.
@7777
He also added an extra "n".
