Clayton Kershaw (7-2, 2.52) vs.
Gather 'round, kids, and let me tell you a story...
One day, Mickey Mouse was getting ready to set sail on a long sea voyage. Minnie Mouse made Mickey a special teddy bear to take with him so he would never be lonely. Mickey loved the bear and named him Duffy. Mickey and Duffy sailed around the world. They visited all sorts of exciting places and made lots of friends along the way.
Soon, however, Mickey (and Disney fans as a whole) grew tired of Duffy and cast him aside. He wandered the countryside, searching for a new home, before finally settling in Kansas City. He now spends his days as a left-handed pitcher for the Kansas City Royals.
The Dodgers have a left-handed pitcher starting today, too. His story is still being told, but I hear it's shaping up to be a good one.

The kid in the blue shirt trying to copy Kershaw cracks me up.
Not that I'm a superstitious baseball fan at all but the last GT Clay started showed the same uh, well, dance by Kid K and that game turned out pretty well.
Turner's batting leadoff?
And triples. OK.
Puig, with a man on third: In play, no out. How?
How does Turner not score, that is.
I'm not so sure that Yasiel was out there.
Yet no challenge from Donnie
Who else has not heard of Duffy the Disney Bear?
I haven't heard of Duffy, but it was a good story!!
One run per inning, that's all we need
Turner has seen 19 pitches in two ABs. This may work out.
The fever I came down with today may have something to do with the weird GT.
Do you have World Cup Fever?
"There's your run, Clayton"
There's a reason why the Dodgers have only played the Royals 7 times in like the last 120 years. This is a total snoozefest.
We prefer the term "pitching duel"
Orel...I've been told that a 'true' baseball fan will always prefer a pitchers duel to a slugfest everytime. Me, I like the excitement of hits and runs. Unless, of course, Clay's got a no no going!
Clayton in his first pickle of the night. Allows back-to-back singles with one out in the seventh.
Friars and fuckheads scoreless early.
C'mon guys in funny brown robes!!
I'm like that too, Karen. "This is boring...I mean classic!"
Potential perfecto happening in Chicago.
I'll never understand first-pitch swinging against a pitcher who's having difficult. But I'll take it. Thanks, Escobar!
It wasn't pretty, but Rojas saves the day (so far) and the Kid is out of the inning.
Bill Shaikin @BillShaikin 48s
That's 20 consecutive scoreless innings for Clayton Kershaw. Jumps in excitement after Miguel Rojas saves shutout.
^difficulty
Orel...What's going on in Chicago??
Charley just told us about the perfecto through 6 in Chicago and then, are you sitting down, asked if that qualified as a jinx by talking about it on the air.
Holy fucking moly.
Going to bot of 8 with Dodgers up 1-0.
To be fair, Karen, Charley's not calling the Cubs game. It would be a total dick move if he were (although I guess we should note Vin totally disregarded the superstition during Clayton's no-no).
Orel (not you!) mentioned that about it not being a jinx because they weren't calling the game. It was just funny because Charley has no qualms about the 'jinx' whether he's calling the game or not. As far as Vin, anything he says or does is golden. He always gets a complete pass in my world =)
Dre knocks Gonzo in. 2-0 top of 9th.
Geico!
All hail Vin!
Here we go to the bot of the 9th. Kenley coming in for the save.
I guess Kenley is fixed. 1-2-3!
Make party? Make party!
Foam Pardy!! All eyes on you Padres...Git her done!
Kershaw really needs to get his game together if he’s going to make an impact this season.
SD 6, FH1, top 6
6-2 now and Gnats are knocking on the door in the 7th.
ps- My god do the Angels suck. They suck even when they are winning.
7-2 Pods, top 8th.

7-2 final
PGTUP!
