Zack Greinke: Mad Man
Zack Greinke (0-0, -.-- ERA) vs. Mike Minor (0-0, -.-- ERA)
Let's go with what worked for Game 1. In fact, let's go back and check my pre-Game 1 "analysis."
- Clayton Kershaw: Bad Mofo - check!
- Offensive firepower in Crawford, Ramirez, A-Gon, and even Uribe - check!
- Bullpen big part of our success - check!
- Kemp is crutched - sad face
- Ethier is only available to pinch hit - and he did. While he didn't get a hit, he struck the ball well and seemed to be running reasonably well (for him).
- Puig is Puigless these days - While Puig was an offensive spark plug early, he also had two late stoopid ABs. So jury still out, but things seemed to be headed the right direction.
- The offense sputtered late - small sample size, but the offense showed plenty of life and seemed not to be rusty.
With their backs against the wall and having already lost home field advantage, though, they'll look to come out strong tonight. They'll have to get through Greinke, and my money is on him.

Rays on the right side TV, Pie Rats on the left. Caddy in the middle. Love the playoffs and days off!
*takes another deeep breath*
gotta keep pitching
Well said, FB.
I hope the boys take a look at the early game for a reminder that a beat down one day can turn around quick the next.
Keep focused, Dodgers
Stay on target
Less than an hour away. Where my dawgs at?
Barks?
Gotta keep Puigging
Gettin Puiggy widdit'!
I'm your huckleberry.
Just Puig it!
Puiggle it, just a little bit!
Dodgers will play on TNT till Bo's game over
Get these lousy AL teams off
TNT I'm dynamite
TNT I'll win this fight
TNT I'm a power load
TNT watch me explode
What is up with Cal Ripken's eyebrows? They're half as long and seem to be angling up his dome?
Ron Darling: "I don't think a game has gone more smoother for a manager in his first postseason game."
More smoother, Ron!
MLB, sponsored by Cialis.
I'm nervous again.
At my desk, ignoring everyone around me, Vinny!
What radio station is the game on on iHeart Radio?
HWG
AM 570?
That's what I though, but it's Hartman and what's his face right now on iHeart Radio. Internet updates it is.
Lots of empty seats there at Turner Field.
You know those Atlanta fans, always showing up late
Wow I thought Minor got Mellis on that 2-2 pitch
Mellis with a one-out walk
Come on HanRam
Quad, it's not Vin, but if you grab the ESPN radio app, you can get their coverage.
Hope Crawford was taking notes on Mellis' walk.
That will be good enough until I leave work. Thanks Nomo.
hanRAM it down their throats!
HANLEY! Nice double down the right field line, inside out
Dropped relay, Mellis acores without a throw!
Boos greet Puig
Foul. 0-1
1-2 to Puig
I usually use this link to find a broadcast:
http://www.freebaseballradio.com/LAdodgersJune.html
I usually use the one at the top:KYNS 1340
Wanted more, but I'll take it.
Puig grounds to first.
1-0 LA after 0.5
Avocados from Mexico!
You guys are missing a great episode of Castle.
nice first inning for Zackman
1-0 LA through 1. Let's go, Dodgers!
Uribe, leadoff single to right with two strikes.
THANKS SKIP.
Pretty nice turn by the Braves there on the Schumaker GIDP. I can't imagine how scary that is to have Uribe bearing down on you at second.
Oh Skippy...
And now McCann will GIDP.
I swear, I don't know if it's the mic he's using, or the fact that he's on radio only, or if it's because it's the playoffs, but Vin sounds 10-15 years younger.
1-1 after 2.
Crawford with a single off a lefty. Encouraging!
Crawdaddy with a single to center to lead off the third.
Hey, now Bones is on!
The Atlanta crowd seems pretty quiet
Can we please send Crawford next time to stay out of the DP?
Hey Donnie, should have let MELLIS bunt. You're a doodiehead
Well done Zack
Well, those three innings went fast. No time to savor Vin.
Let's go, Dodgers. Come out swinging in the fourth here
At espn sport zone at downtown Disney Vin, cracking up at the mother of all bad scheduling conflicts!
A-Gpn with a leadoff single.
Please don't GIDP here.
AGon single. Let's do this, Yas.
Tommy Lasorda looks pretty darn tired.
Or maybe that's just Craig's jacket next to him sapping his energy.
@PoD: What's the scheduling conflict? Were you supposed to be in Atlanta?
Well, a K isn't a DP.
way to not GIDP this inning, Dodgers! (Puig K, followed by a fly out)
Man we let Minor off easy there.
Come on, Puig, you could have had him.
Here goes the racist chant.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
Calm down Barve fans. Calm down . It was foul.
Elevate this.
Fuck.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Keep it together Zack
Time to get 3 back.
So the state republican convention is at the Anaheim Hilton, across the street is Gay Days at Disneyland.
Stay calm, Dodgers. You got this, just stay calm.
That was a bad inning for the Dodgers (the fifth).
@PoD 4:34p: How big is the intersection of that Venn diagram?
Fuck. Make him pitch Dodgers!
Is this where the bats go into cryo-freeze?
Well there is a group called log cabin republicans, which possibly have tickets. Debating putting on a mike soscia jersey to get a free Disneyland ticket...
Steiner is determined to tell us every inning that Uggla did not make the roster.
Awesome job in right to flag down that Minor long fly out, Puig!
Wait, he didn't? ;-)
There ya' go, Zack Attack!
Time to score some runs! Release the hounds!
2-1 Atlanta through 5
That wasn't good.
I got a bad feeling about this.
Schu with the Punto-esque slide into first!
Zack gone. Gritty veteran Young due up.
Two gifts. We have to score.
We have to get across a run here or the pressure will build. Come on Dodgers!
Dammit, Crawford.
FUCK FUCK FUCK
ohhh nooo :(
Not sure how we can score. We got the double play juju
Middle of the Bullpen was a big concern for me. That first AB didn't help.
Get him the fuck out of there.
meh. lucky
Here's the deal, though. If we come from behind and win this, as I think we can, Atlanta is crushed.
that was a fucking hook.
Come on, Dodgers
He missed on two pitches. The last one was up but froze him.
It's the summer of George.
Nervous time.
Come on Paco.
Throw strikes!
Game. Blouses.
Well, fuck.
Goddamn son of a bitch
That's probably ball game, says pessimistic me.
@markasaxon: Jason Heyward hit .264 vs. lefties and .250 vs. righties this year
ballgame
Belisario: Still sucking.
dang yo. like let's got through all the pitchers before the 8th inning.fuck it,right El Don?
Out! WooHoo!!!
Score some fucking runs Dodgers or I'll damn you to hell with Rachel Nicholls.
Mrs Dusty:
Mattingly looks like he's going to have a heart attack.
Me:
He looks like he wants to rip Belli's arm off.
Mrs Dusty:
He should have.
HanRam's taking some big rips here in the eighth.
BOOM!!!! 4-3
Keep taking big rips, Hanley!
YES.
Again, if we just keep staying cool, we'll be fine.
Just inside the foul pole!
Holy Han Ram!
I wanna believe, I really do.
Kimbrel's walk-in song is Welcome to the Jungle?
Hmmmmmmm
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!! (academy)
Got to win this in spite of our drunk manager.
Come on Urine! Lock in.
Fuck.
Well that was a quick letdown.
I hate this.
I don't give a rats ass even if Brian Wilson doesn't allow a run in the playoffs. i hate him.
Skip has been pretty frickin' bad in this series
Lets get after this non-gagne
Andre in the on-deck circle
Ethier with a chance to pull a Gibson here
Dee Gordon on first, trying to make Sax here change his mind about him
You suck, Dee Gordon.
So. Hard.
Nope, that is the Gordon I know
(Though it was a bad call)
HE WAS SAFE YOU FUCKING UMP
Come on Andre
ok maybe he was out...
We did have a good streak of vaguely sexual phrases going there, didn't we?
Crawford is very average. Not confident.
At the very least, we are making Kimbrel work very hard
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
Ok. Shake it off.
Except for you, Dee. You need to run laps
Donnie gave the game away by walking Johnson.
Roll on Sunday and Dodger Stadium!
Fuck!!!! Now I have to get lodging in LA on Sunday.
This TBS crew is awful, can we all agree?
I would rather listen to Lyons.
Yes Wicks.
This was a giveaway game. Game 3 is a big one. I'm gonna have to get lathered up.
PGT up.
