Clayton Kershaw (6-2, 2.93) vs. Jorge De La Rosa (6-5, 4.12)
Bubbles, bubbles, and more bubbles! Suddenly, the Dodgers are having fun again, and a 9.5 game division deficit has become only 5. (Thanks for sucking, Giants!)
But does fun breed winning, or does winning breed fun? Aw, who cares? BUBBLES! AND DANCING!
Clayton Kerhsaw looks to complete the sweep and keep the Dance Party rolling. We know he can get down with his proverbial bad self, if need be.
Uh, on the other hand, maybe stick to pitching.

Tonight: Suds? Or Duds?
Watching Kid K try to bust a move brings back memories of Mark Madsen (was that his name?) dancing at the Lakers parade.

I finally got my mom hooked up with TWC today. Tonight is the first game we've been able to watch together this season. I'm really excited to share this with her tonight, not sure there will be many more chances.
Lets have a good game tonight, Boys. Do it for mom!!
Poignant, Karen. Here's hoping you and your mom havea great game together.
Hated Ones have LOST today.
Bubbles and Footsteps tonight, y'all.
People be losing their shit over the Boy Meets World (and now Girl Meets World) cast being at Dodger Stadium. That show was never on my radar.
@Sax
Suds, as always.
Dodgers score twice in the first. 2-0 going to second.
What kid Kemp do? I know Dee walked but lost track of how Kemp got on.
@DB...He singled...of course!!
Kid with 5 K's through 2 1/2.
What is up everyone? Go Dodgers! Our mojo is risin.
Agon knocks in Puig with a double. Now 3-0.
I kinda like this winning thing.
My Man doubles in Agon. 4-zip Blue.
@Paul...Its much more fun then that whole losing thing.
George of the Rose must have watched Spain play today.
MiggyRo doubles in Matty, SVS and AJ to break it open. 7-0 Good Guys.
Mikie Red double makes it 7-0. Can we play you every other week, Rockies? The off week we could play Snakes.
Kershaw is pitching well tonight.
(understatement)
Kid K has faced the minimum through 3 and Vin hasn't said the words but is already talking about Kid K being the story. We all know how much I love our Vinny and I know he's just doing his job, but damn, I hate it when the talk starts.
Fuck this game not being on TV!
Steiner just mentioned the word after the 4th. We can always blame it on him.
Hanley shaking that right hand as he singles.
Great line from Monday about Bundy maybe needing to ice his arm after waving so many Dodgers around third tonight. Well done, Rick.
Agon brings in Hanley. 8-0.
Kemp's walkup is Jay Z's Hard Knock Life? Am I late to realizing this?
I'm a country girl so not up on JayZ's music. I do remember when I was a kid though and my friends mom had an album from the 60's by a group named Cream and they are AJ's walk up music.
Anything going on? No?
Nope.
Not a damn thing, Orel =)
I have half a mind to get in the car and drive over to the Yard and use my season seat.
Don't move a muscle, Dust.
Good point, MKW.
Mrs Dusty, bring more wine!
Vinny can say it. The baseball gods know he is a saint.
It has been a very long day. Had a few drinks and planned to pass out early. I can't now. So on to a few more drinks.

Dammit!
Are you at the Game Dusty?
Sorry Paul!! I didn't know you were counting it out when I posted =(
Vinny saying he doesn't believe in superstition. C'mon Vin!! You're the greatest baseball man I know!
"In this day and age you can text your friends...hashtag Kershaw or something."- Vinny
No worries Karen! You had it covered.
@Paul
No, on the sofa (Vinny). If my knee wasn't barking I'd drive over to the Yard and use my season ticket.
Jack & Coke activated
I'm on some Kunde Estate cabernet. What about others?
cc: Spanky
Those knees are barkin'!
MLB Network is on
On a perfectly selfish note, my mom is staying awake and pretty focused on what we're seeing. She's always been a great baseball fan and as bad as the dementia has gotten she is actually comprehending what's going on here. No matter what happens tonight, I've been given a gift to get to see her understand and enjoy this.
GEEZ HANLEY
That's awesome, Karen!
Error all the way. Gotta be.
Drinking an Oregon Pinot. After some G&Ts. Shake it off Hanley.
Error it is so no-no still on.
Awesome play Miguel!!!
Now that's some D! Rojas!
Whooooooa.

Good anecdote by the way, Karen.
I'm not meaning to be flip, but my mind is like that too - chaos punctuated by the organization and tranquility of baseball.
Glad you guys are enjoying a great game tonight.
Thanks Dusty. It seems like nothing else makes sense for her anymore, but by some grace, baseball still gets in there.
Holy smokage, this is an important game here.
Someone wake up FB.
Final, CWS 7, SF 6
Vin just mentioned what's going on, coming back for the eighth inning.
13ks
Ellen sitting all by herself in the stands.
13 Ks. K to start the eighth inning.
Vin has been mentioning it since the 3rd inning.
Welcome back, Rip Van Sax!
Ellen is the loneliest number.
Karen — dealing with Time-Warner is worth it for what you're getting tonight.
Foul. That stopped my heart.
mlb.com gameday is broken again, it's shaking like a leaf
KKKKKKKKKKKKKK

maybe it's nervous?
line drive foul there by rutledge, 0-2 count
14 Ks
On to the 9th!
through eight innings!
MY WHOLE BRAIN IS CRYING
Come on, Clayton!
Hot damn!
It really is, Orel. My mom has tears in her eyes watching this. So far, I'm holding it together, but not expecting to much longer.
9th inning drinks on me!
Where is Neeebs when I need for him to pay for drinks I say I will pay for.
Kershaw at 101 pitches
No Dodger has thrown a no hitter at Dodger Stadium since Kevin Gross did in August 1992.
I think Neeebs is still in Manhattan Beach
Oh, and he's batting. Great
nice standing o for Kershaw here in B8
I think Neeebs is still at Game 4 of NHL finals in NY.
Kevin Gross against the Giants. The only highlight in a 99 loss season.
SooHoo doin' work!
I'm so glad he's not running the bases.
another ovation for Clayton as he heads into the dugout
MLB Network has the good sense to shut their guys up in favor of Vin
So what's going on anyhow?
And no one is talking to Clayton in the dugout. Everyone is up on the steps except Honeycutt and Ellis, who are standing next to Kershaw. Kershaw is on the bench, cleaning his cleats.
Drink check: scotch on the rocks
I tried to wake up FB but he probably is dreaming of red bulls and vodka.
Here we go. No commercial break!
TWC not going to a commercial break before the top of the ninth.
How ironic, they're actually GIVING people television to watch, rather than the other way around.
here we go!
God, I miss listening to Vin
ONE DOWN
One away.
one pitch, one out. Clayton covering first.
Ellen Kershaw looks adorable clapping for her husband
TWO DOWN
Two away!!!!
One more!!! Get it Kid!!!
The Rockies sure are cooperating
Mark Saxon @markasaxon 13s
You know that was a big out. Puig used two hands. One away...
Fly ball to Puig for out #2.
Come on, Clayton!
One more strike!
Come on!
A.J. almost lost a nut there
FUCKYEAH
HDJSKDJJSHAJSJSBSHUQHSJAHAHSHSHSHSHAHSH
No mask jumping!
Apparently, this is what we do now.
Purple guy with iphone shooting video vertically on the field: YOU SUCK
Cindy Ellis @Cindyluellis 1m
@AJEllis17 don't jump
Fuck yeah!!!
Make no no party!!!
Thank Quick that we had Vin to walk us through it all.
the bubbles and the Kershaw moves :_)
Clayton hugging Ellen made me tear up a little
@mike_petriello:
So far as I can tell, no one has ever whiffed 15 with 0 hits 0 walks. Ever. EVER.
@CliffCorcoran:
Kershaw's no-hitter is the second-best nine-inning game score ever. Kerry Wood's 20 Ks: 105, Kershaw: 102
Jury seems to be that this was probably one of the best pitching outings of all time.
Thank you Clayton. I really didn't think there was time to make anymore memories of a lifetime with my mom. I got that tonight. I don't think words can do justice to what my heart feels. I will never, ever forget this.
I can't settle down. I'm pacing the house, alternating between grinning and smiling. GOT DAMN I LOVES YOU KID K.
Grinning and crying, I meant.
Karen and her mom making me tear up a little
That was huge, I'm still on cloud 9
Best no-hitter of all time: No one has ever had one with that many Ks (15) with 0 walks.
Twitter can't decide if Vin has called 19 or 20 no-hitters
MLB Network showing Tweets from other baseball players who are congratulating Kid K. Amazing how many also mention hearing Vinny calling it.
I thought the same thing, Dusty!
Just...WOW! We have the best pitcher in baseball, ya'll--being called by the best announcer in the history of the game. It doesn't get any better than this.
Breaking out the Oban to write the PGT
HYMFPGTUP!
