Clayton Kershaw (20-3, 1.80) vs. Tim Hudson (9-12, 3.52).
There are rumors buzzing that Tim Hudson, coming off of three straight losses and wielding the highest ERA (9.92) this month among any pitcher with 15+ innings, will be replaced at the last second with Tim Lincecum. It won't matter. Clayton Kershaw is positioned to have the Dodgers clinch the 2014 NL West tonight, and if there's ever a time to deal an ace, it's now.
How great would it be to have the Dodgers celebrate at home in front of their arch-rival? How fitting would it be to have our franchise face, en route to his third Cy Young Award and possibly a NL MVP award, earn the clinching victory? How premature are all of these visions, now that we've just evidenced that aces are far from infallible?
Who knows. Look, there's a chance that the Giants could be celebrating this evening as well, if the Brewers lose in Cincinnati, thereby giving San Francisco a back-door entrance to the Wild Card. Perhaps we'll have a joint party involving both teams!
On second thought, this just looks way too confusing. Let's just focus on getting our party set, okay?

Giants hit Crawford. They have no class.
Uribear grand slam.
Ooof. At least there was that elbow guard there.
Fuck. I was just thinking about how Matty needed to shut the fuck up after his, "We're a lot healthier than last year" interview yesterday. Please be OK, Kemp and Crawford.
Flea tweeting shit about the Giants. I'm happy.
Really would like this inning to be over.
Early word on Kemp:
WE ARE SOOOO FUCKED!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!
Uribe just misses again
(CRIES)
Uribe!!! 2-run RBI
7-1
Is this lead safe enough for Wilson???
Jazz Hands!
I'm holding my breath everytime these injury prone duds run the bases.
URIBE cashes in some Wilsons!
7-1 good guys!
Dudes not duds
Bubble machines in the crowd!
Honestly I don't understand why the stadium doesn't sell bubbles. But maybe they do now
Ok, I feel better now.
8-1!
235!
I THINK WE NEED MORE RUNS
nice hustle, AJ!
Who's this guy?
there was Matty in the dugout
Well at least he is alive.
Dre with the green light on 3-0 fouls it off.
ALL THAT FACIAL HAIR IN THE DUGOUT AND NOT ONE FU MANCHU
And works the walk.
I remember back in the good ol' days when this inning began.
Don't hit a homerun run Barney...save it for the Fall Classic.
CHARLES RUBBLE
Pavo and Wilson were warming.
Go home Gnats, you're drunk.
"Paco"
Larry King must be on meth to still be awake.
25 minutes have elapsed since Kershaw retired the Gnats in the top of the inning.
I was soooo much younger then.
Barney walks too. Rancho ardiendo!
"This is all kinds of ugly for the Giants." --ESPN
Pubes is crying I think.
I think the Giants are trying to set up to hit Puig.
Ok Puig. Get it.
Please don't hit Puig.
And, he throws inside.
ON the replay, Puig flipped his bat on the HR.
Madison Bumgarner immediately kicked a water cooler.
@Paul can I get what Larry's on?
2-0. Lock in.
WE NEEDS TO BEAN SOMEONE DURING THE 9TH
Apparently, a man named "C.Heston" is warming for the Gnats.
@FB
Page Spanky.
My champagne is getting realllly cold.
Puig walks and gets an RBI.
Zzzzzzzzz
Walks in a run; 9-1, this half-inning has gone 30 minutes and I've grown facial hair
I am deeply pleased by this Gutiérrez?Giants meltdown
ORALE. PINCHE PAUL. HAHA
An Amber Alert has been issued by the Gnats for the strike zone. Last seen by a Gnat pitcher about an hour ago.
Seen leaving the DS parking lot in a beat-up charter bus heading north.
Giants are trying to kill our party momentum. Hang in there peeps, were almost there!
Is this the Giants' way of keeping us from celebrating in front of them?
Did I miss anything?
@Orel Puig is a hothead
here comes the beard. 9-1 LA
It's Wilson time!!!!!!
I fear the beard, for the record.
can Wilson focus with a 9-run lead?
Watching Wilson celebrate on the mound is going to crush the Gnats. I love it.
Dude, get your damn clothes off the tradmill, and maybe you'd use it more. Screw Dr. Scholl's.
Can I focus with the prospect of spank being nekkid in 3 outs?
Fucking trial lawyers. Evil, I tells ye!
Acura TLX, for all of you who go to parties with giant animal heads on you
How sweet would it be if Wilson just hit a Giant here
in the nuts
Nice showing tonight in the GT. You'd think this was a special occasion or something.
So Wilson has a beard now?
Sure, squeeze the zone in the 9th
Come on Wilson crank it up.
Wilson gets roped on his first batter. Ouch.
Da fuq
SO IT BEGINS
Look, Wilson, if you've going to be ineffective, at least hit a Giant
@Saxy the TLX has special cameras to help drivers who wear animal masks while driving
2 more outs people!
Wow, Rojas just pulled a Hanley Ramirez impression there with those double-clutches
Rojas handcuffed, stays with it.
I drink a little more
One down
I thought an alien was comming out of Rojas' stomach.
GOT MY SOCKS OFF
Brewers won so Giants don't clinch a postseason spot, right?
Hanley left his magic hair grease at short, Rojas double clutches but still gets the out
IN fairness, Fairchild has his head up his ass with this 9th inning zone
Wilson fired up, I assume with the strike zone
Inconsistency, thy name is Fairchild
One more baby!!
1 to go.
GOT MY SHIRT OFF
and that's a strike? who the hell knows anymore
Wockeen R-I-S flies out
Beer status: READY, BISHES!
Get it done, you filthy animal.
Champs!!!
Finally.
DODGERS WIN THE WEST!!!
Party time!!
Make Party!!!!!
RUNS OUT THE DOOR NEKKED HOLDING MART HART
YESYESYES!!!!
WOOPWOOPWOOP!
Making party in Anaheim!
Please don't hurt each other
Kemp's ankle seems OK.
How the West Was Won.
BY US!!!!
Righetti class-etti.
Darn Good
MATTY DRE AND HANLEY. NO CELEBRATING. STAY ON THE BENCH PLEASE
21-3 after missing 5 starts?
Yeah, he's OK.
I think the Armless Mattingly Bobblehead must become our spirit animal for the rest of the season!
ESPN announcers sound like someone died.
West was won, home field advantage is secured, TIME TO CELEBRATE!
CHAG SAMEACH
L'SHANAH TOVAH
גוט יום־טובֿ
Goodnight all
Be well tonight
Nobody wants to leave the stadium. Can't say I blame them.
Past my bedtime.
PGT has been delayed in order to make party.
Victory lap looks like a lot of fun.
Clubhouse champagne celebration and interviews are fun. Alana Rizzo had beer dumped on her by Ryu during an interview with HanRam. Good stuff.
After about 5 interviews she finally put on her goggles. Rookie.
Beckett was there celebrating too. Good stuff.
Dre says he's ok with the role he's been asked to play. It's his fifth time being in the playoffs with the dodgers and he is happy to do whatever it takes to win a championship. Orel actually was choked up by that interview.
Bed time here. Sweet dreams all.
