Roberto Hernandez (8-9, 3.81) vs. Gio Gonzalez (6-9, 3.86).
It's the battle of two guys whose last names end in -ez! Or, the battle of National League division leaders, if you will. And though others are talking about how the Nationals (with a recent 10-game win streak and a six-game lead in the East) are heading in a different direction than the Dodgers, I think we might surprise Labor Day crowds today at the Stadium. Gonzalez, after all, is 0-5 with a 4.38 ERA in his last nine outings; the Nationals are 4-19 over their last 23 at Dodger Stadium.
But let's just have a nice fun day out there today, and let's make sure no one gets hurt this time (in all seriousness, that was scary; even a year later, I feel really bad for Harper). I know it sounds funny, but I just can't stand the pain. Take it...EZ.

Now I want to hear some Eazy E.
Hope A.J. doesn't allow any EZ Passed balls today
Giants won their early resumed game against the Rockies, so they pick up a half-game.
Then they're up in the second game, 4-2 in the third.
Lead is down to two games.
Looks like Rox are rolling over in today's regular game. These sons of bitches are breathing down our necks.
MLB Network has our game tonight but...LA get blacked out. Shafted again.
Now 5-2 through four. Show some pride, Colorado
Wait, the fourth inning isn't done yet in COL
Now the fourth is over. It's 5-2. Colorado wasted a threat, and then turned around and allowed a Oyster Pubes leadoff double in the fifth.
Carlos Triunfel DFA'd to make room for Joc Pederson on the 40-man roster.
Seriously, there is a quacking cheer at Petco park when the Pod reliever Quackenbush is in?
Bad news is that Chris Perez is back.
Worse news is that T-Fed is back.
SF 7, COL 2 in the fifth
Unbelievable.
7-2 now. Feeling the hate rising.
cc: Karen and Spanky
Guerrero's ear didn't make the 40-man.
SF 7, COL 6, bot 6
S'up, suckas?
Bison go boom!

Kemp? Didn't we give in to his mouthy agent and trade him?
No?
Well, yay us!
Oh Fausto, you are such a tease
Maybe he chose an Italian fake name because he likes serving up meatballs
Sweet shitsucking Jesus you suck shit, Fausto.
MVP comment, FB.
the Rockies seem to have grown some testes this evening, 9-7, bot 8. Watch them blow it
Rendon steals second, LaRoche hits one to the track for the 3rd out
Dee call safe on a crazy close play racing Gonzales to first, review in progress
somehow called out
Nothing in the LAD shots showed anything that would make you overturn it
NFL refs require something conclusive to overturn a call. I feel like umps will overturn calls when they think there's a 51% chance they missed it even though there isn't the conclusive evidence. On that Dee play, it was impossible to tell if he was tagged, but he probably was, and the "probably" is enough for the umps to change their mind
nice play by Adrian
Hanley handles the popup at the bag
of course LaTroy has blown the lead, 9-9 top 9
grounder to second, good inning for Berto
Nines are wild!
Time for the Rockies to walk off
all quiet on the offensive front. Gonzales is locked in and we can't hit lefties
Gonzales Ks trying to bunt, AJ nearly picks off the runner but Dee wasn't at the bag yet
and now Perez, game over.
At least Sergio Romo still sucks
Rox ended up winning, but I still feel shitty.
we'll be lucky to get another hit tonight
Guerrero up
@DB 6:44 Me too. We can't keep going without having our guys who are supposed to hit hit. Puig, Hanley, I am looking at you, Kemp you may as well listen too. If we could trust more than 3 of our starters and one reliever, I wouldn't feel so bad about this team right now, but here I sit, trying to watch, trying to not just turn it off, wanting to think positively but knowing better
Kemp looked like CC on that deep fly by Ramos
Great play by Dee to get Cabrera
Umm Dee, bunting right to the first baseman who only has to take one step to touch the base isn't an effective method for getting on base
hey a flyball out, Gonzales is losing it
holy shit, the Rockies won it in the bottom of the ninth. Way to go, Colorado!
Not only can I not watch the game bc of MLB Network blackout restrictions, but what is playing on the MLBNetwork is a Royals game so every time I look up, for a split second I think it's the Dodgers. (cries)
Makes me laugh when I remember people picking the Dodgers to win the WS
hey, it's our bullpen
two leadoff singles from Kemp and SVS in the bottom of the seventh.
Now would be a good time for Puig to show up!
at least Gonzales is out
Uribe teases us with an RBI single. Dre PH means a new Nats pitcher
with the lefty pitcher in, Turner comes in for Dre. Gotta love September callups and wasted players
What do you think, lose by one?
and wasted commenters
@Orel I am thinking 2, making that stupid run given up by League all the more painful
OK it's time for bed, hoping to wake up to a win. Gnite all
Sounds about right
dammit, that might have been our last good opportunity, and we only got one run.
6-3 Nats through 7.
who the heck is Yimi Garcia?
washington loses the challenge! Nats GIDP in the eighth
beats Yimi
Bottom 8: PH, Gordon, Ramirez
@orel 7:49p: nice
@Sax 7:41p: Yi think so?
Dodgers go down 1-2-3 in the 8th
Kemp Ks for out #1 in the ninth
Joc is the winning run. No pressure
It's been real, Howard.
PGT up.
Guess he's not invited to SoSG Fest?
