NL Division Series Game 1 Thread: Dodgers @ Braves, 5:30p

Clayton Kershaw: Bad Mofo

Clayton Kershaw (0-0, -.-- ERA) vs. Kris Medlen (0-0, -.-- ERA)

Well faithful fans, the time is here. This is what we've been waiting for  all season. We've put our Blue blood, our sweat, and of course our tears (cc: Mr. F), into supporting the team through thick and thin, day in and day out, from Spring til Fall, and now it's paid off. The playoffs are here. We did it. Who knew back in April and May and, well, a lot of June, when we were flailing about like Fred's Brim trying to get the barman's attention in a crowded Brooklyn bar, that we would end up going on an historic 42-8 run, leaving the Dbags in the dust and peeing in their pool.

But now it's nervous time. Time to put on those game faces. Sure, we're confident in our starting rotation beginning with Kid K, Greinke, and Ryu. Sure, we have some offensive firepower in Crawford, Ramirez, A-Gon, and even Uribe. Sure, the bullpen has been a big part of our success. But Kemp is crutched. Ethier is only available to pinch hit. Puig is Puigless these days. The offense sputtered late.

Look, this is what we live for. You gotta be in it to win it. Anything is possible. It all starts with Kershaw, and there's no one I'd rather have starting Game 1 than him. We got this....right?

Dee Gordon looks like a hair that fell out of Wilson's beard when he stands next to him.

karina said...

Paul said...

Okay get this fucker out.

Dusty Baker said...

@DBT

Where did you end up watching in DTLA?

Dusty Baker said...

@Karina re Wilson

Actually many of us can at this point.

I'll also take his 0.00 ERA in 12+ post-season innings in his career.

Paul said...

Double play anyone?

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

@DB I drove home to LBC. No takers in LA.

Dusty Baker said...

Amazing how many Barves players tonight have whined about pitches that were above the knees, under the shoulders, and over the plate.

Paul said...

Atta boy Jansen! One more baby.

Dusty Baker said...

So much drama in tha LBC
You know it's kinda hard bein DBT

Paul said...

Come on Jansen.

Paul said...

Come on Jansen!!

BJ Killeen said...

Slow down KJ

Paul said...

One more.

Dusty Baker said...

Guess Jansen isn't going to be available tomorrow.

But it's good he shook the rust off in a 6-1 game instead of a close one.

BJ Killeen said...

Yes!

spank said...

Hideo Nomo said...

Fred's Brim said...

@Paul - I watched at home with Mrs FB. I was too nervous to watch it out. I need to figure out tonight's game though. I am supposed to hang out with some of Mrs FB's friends but I hope they understand when I sneak away to watch the game
