NLCS Game 2 Thread: Oct. 12 @ Cards, 1p

"Help us, Clayton Kershaw, you're our only hope."

"Seriously, dude, we're in a total jam here."

"WHAT WAS DONNIE THINKING? All right, all right, calm down. It's not his fault we were 1 for 10 with RISP. Beer me, Artoo."

Clayton Kershaw (0-0, 0.00) vs. Michael Wacha (0-0, 0.00).

While not technically an elimination game, for us panicky Dodger fans today's game is a real okole squeezer. But if anyone's going to lead us through this mess, it's Matt Kemp Clayton Kershaw, who can probably earn an extra $100 million on his contract by winning today ($200 million if he hits the go-ahead homer like on opening day).

Maybe a day game following a night game is the best way to clear our palates, so prepare for the jump to lightspeed, never tell me the odds, and always let the Wookiee win!

@Paul I can't wait to get into their bullpen

oh wait

Fred's Brim said...

Dusty's cat deserves better

Orel said...

Meet the new boss.

Fred's Brim said...

Ellis vs rights should be the innovative stat that Donnie should be looking at

Fred's Brim said...

righties

Orel said...

Wonder if Kelly will hit Pedroia in the ribs too.

BJ Killeen said...

All Donnie had to say to Puig is stand there. You'll walk.

Paul said...

Kershaw getting no run support. Sounds familiar.

Cliff Beefpile said...

2 RBI in 19 innings. Both by Uribe.

Paul said...

I can't even ask for a break since I feel greedy you bums!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Schumaker, you are a waste of a uniform.

Orel said...

It's shocking how quickly this season is crumbling.

BJ Killeen said...

This is so unfair to Kershaw. Each one of you players should write a personal apology to him and beg forgiveness.

Paul said...

If the Dodgers are gonna have these fragile superstars next year they need to upgrade the bench big time.

Fred's Brim said...

cmon fellas, keep grinding

Fred's Brim said...

it's just a run

Fred's Brim said...

in the playoff, a walk (or a hit)'s a rally

spank said...

I feel like writing Kershaw an apology and I'm just a spectator.

Fred's Brim said...

s

Cliff Beefpile said...

God even your signs suck, St. Louis. "Wacha this way." Fuck you.

Fred's Brim said...

that Paddling Out song can get fucked

Paul said...

Homerun please

BJ Killeen said...

I will never spend a penny on Bud products again

BJ Killeen said...

Young? Seriously?

Wicks said...

Zach and Clayton pitch 14 innings giving up 3 runs and we are going to be down 0-2. Terrible.

Paul said...

Well he can't hit into a double play.

Orel said...

Unless Young homers Mattingly may have just cost himself his job.

Orel said...

Hmmm.

Bill Plunkett ‏@billplunkettocr 29s

On the bright side #Dodgers fans -- you gotta figure Kershaw will be available in relief in Games 4 and 5 after only throwing 72 pitches

Orel said...

Molly Knight ‏@molly_knight 10s

BTW: Kershaw showed no ill-effects of having pitched on 3 days rest. I'd pencil him in for game 5. Greinke for game 4 maybe. Nervous time.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Let's take out the only Dodger player with any goddamn heart and insert the utterly useless Michael Young. Well played, Donnie.

spank said...

Raging

Paul said...

Game 5?

Wicks said...

That's the fly ball we needed last night :(

Fred's Brim said...

I fear for spank's neighborhood if we lose this

Fred's Brim said...

@Wicks or today

Fred's Brim said...

keep it to 1 run, boys
hopefully we'll get another shot

Fred's Brim said...

Cmon, Belli, keep us close

Cliff Beefpile said...

Belisario in. I can start my depression-fueled eating binge now.

Paul said...

Nice play Punto.

Cliff Beefpile said...

They've gotten brilliant pitching and played solid defense. That's what's weird.

spank said...

@ FB

Neighborhoods on lock down. they still remember like it was yesterday what happened during the 2008 NBA Finals.

Paul said...

Top of the lineup. Might be our last shot the way Puig and the rest of the lineup have been swinging.

Paul said...

Well...

Paul said...

Cardinals have two hits. Fuck me.

Paul said...

We are done.

Fred's Brim said...

@spank somebody's getting their door smashed in with a sweaty mackerel

spank said...

horrible

Cliff Beefpile said...

It's like they're screwing with us by putting Martinez in. "Here, we'll give you a shot at it. Take it! LOL!"

Fred's Brim said...

keep fighting, fellas

Fred's Brim said...

keep fighting, SOSGers!

spank said...

All Dodgers hitters have Puigsitis. The uncontrollable urge to swing and miss at everything.

Paul said...

Gonzales is so clutch.

Fred's Brim said...

this feels like a big setup

QuadSevens said...

I'm waiting for our Hollywood ending n

Fred's Brim said...

Cmon, JP, keep us close

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Nice first pitch by JP

Fred's Brim said...

Cmon, JP, throw strikes

Neeebs (The Original) said...

@Quad. I'm looking for the sequel

Paul said...

Why are they showing Puig slip. It didn't even impact the game.

Paul said...

Fuck! No walks.

Fred's Brim said...

bear down, JP

Steve Sax said...

The thing is, they're not that good. We're outhitting the opponent just like every game in this postseason.

We just can't outhit Donnie.

Steve Sax said...

Maybe Greinke can pitch all the odd-numbered games, and Kershaw can pitch the even-numbered games

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Aces did their job in St Louis.
I'm looking at you Noffense.

Paul said...

Here we go!

Fred's Brim said...

attaboy, JP - great inning

Paul said...

Remember how i said this felt like a 1-0 loss? I hope to hell I'm wrong like most of the time.

Fred's Brim said...

Kersh and Zach and pray for rain?

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Kersh and Zack and pray for a nuclear attack

BJ Killeen said...

Hollywood stories are best with more drama. Win 3 at home, 1 in stl

Fred's Brim said...

Paul you are wrong about everything

"The Rams will never leave LA": wrong
"Berlin wall will be up forever": wrong
"The Flaming Menudos will never break after a Jesus Colorado orgy overdose": wrong

BJ Killeen said...

Hoping my Bruins will ease my pain tonight

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Puig fails to come through again

Fred's Brim said...

just a little magic please

Fred's Brim said...

swinging at everything

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Uribe of old

Steve Sax said...

We are just hacking.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Ethier looks bad too

spank said...

And that's that.

Fred's Brim said...

that seemed fake

QuadSevens said...

Ugly.

Fred's Brim said...

like a fucking fix

Hollandsworth said...

Fuck the shit right out of that game.

Hollandsworth said...

That was some depression shit right there.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Fuck you Noffense

Wicks said...

We are going to need a miracle now. The team looks totally deflated.

Fred's Brim said...

we need a real lineup out there.
somebody rub some deer antler potion on Hanley's robs

Orel said...

Don't even know what to say. Feels like the Cardinals destroyed us.

Fred's Brim said...

fuck all this
I am furious

karen said...

I think this team was defeated before they ever took the field. The whole HanRam shit got into their heads. Especially Yasiel's.

Fred's Brim said...

time to go cry in some beers

I hope somebody has enough bail money ready for whatever despicably awesome act Spank has planned

Orel said...

A tiny, tiny glimmer of hope.

Molly Knight ‏@molly_knight 7s

Hanley Ramirez x rays negative.

Scott said...

I don't mind losing if we had been beaten but we lost the the game fair and square. We are our own demise...

Orel said...

Wacha beat us pretty good.

Fred's Brim said...

2 fucking hits

Dusty Baker said...

Damn, feeling bad for Steve Lyons. The guy is hurting.

Dusty Baker said...

As I often say, exactly Paul.

Dusty Baker said...

Can someone explain again why Puig was batting cleanup?

Fred's Brim said...

@DB no

I don't think MEllis should be hitting second, especially against righties. Maybe YP would be better there getting things going instead of us relying on him to be an RBI guy. But Donnie wants Ellis at 2 so he can bunt Carl somewhere

Fred's Brim said...

fuck

Cliff Beefpile said...

I'm hearing conflicting reports on HanRam, does he have a cracked rib or not?

Dusty Baker said...

@Cliff

Reports are that x-rays are negative.

Having broken, cracked and bruised many ribs, my take is that there isn't really much difference - it all hurts like the fuck.

Fred's Brim said...

Red Sox fans look how I feel

Hideo Nomo said...

Hey guys, what'd I miss?

Dusty Baker said...

Of all the dumb Magic tweets:

"Dodger Nation: I know we're down 2-0 to the Cardinals but, it doesn't feel like we're losing the series..."

Paul said...

I want to smoke what Magic is smoking.

Steve Sax said...

PGT up.

Man, I can't do another one of these losing PGTs. I'm dying here.
