Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Edinson Volquez (13-7, 3.04) vs. Madison Bumgarner (18-10, 2.98).
How will the Giants and Pirates follow yesterday's AL wild-card instant classic? Will there be bunting and more bunting? Will the winning manager get excoriated for his in-game decisions? The division series haven't even begun yet and already there's been enough postseason intrigue to last a month. Let's keep it rolling by knocking out another Bay Area team. Let's go Bucs!

Let's go motherbuccers!
WASN'T ME, SPANK!
MLB pundits are split on who will win today
Which means the Giants will win.
(cries)
Grantland picks the Giants.
Which means the Giants will win.
(cries)
Sax, it sounds like you're a wreck
Rat?

I'm a total wreck

PLET'S GO BUCS
FUCK the Gnats!
That is all.
For now.
Headed to the bar car on my train ride to [redacted].
Take the last train to [redacted],
and I'll meet you at the [censored]...
Bucs need to jump out to a big early lead because it pains me to see Sax fall to pieces like this.
Shy of lightning striking every player on the field, it's going to be hard to top yesterday's battle.
Pirates / Royals World Series.
Two 80s-Movie Worthy Underdogs.
And TV Ratings Poison!
Now we just need AC and Stubbs to check in and all the Sons will have appeared in this thread
Stuck in traffic but listening to the pregame show now.
Jon Miller already reminiscing about past championships.
I predict that Karina's son comes on strong tonight.
McCutchen needs to flip his bat early and often. Fuck with Ashley In the Yasiel tradition.
Volquez escapes a 2nd-inning jam. Still a Dodger!
"Go Gnats!" - Gnolmes
ugh, didn't realize the game was on ESPN
Does Russ dye his beard? That's an odd color
FB...I have thought that as well. The beard is no where near the color of his hair.
Volq through 3
0-0, mid-3
Ashley's pitch count is supersmall
scoreless through three
Up in SF territory right now. Reception spotty but thinking good thoughts for the Bucs!
leadoff single to Sandoval. Here is where it goes to hell for Pittsburgh.
(cries)
Living and dying with each pitch...
bases loaded, no outs for the giants in the fourth
yep, volquez is the volquez I remember
(cries)
With AC's comment, only Stubbs is missing from this GT
Crawford grand slam. Way to go, Edinson
jesus christ, somebody check on Sax
Awful.
We may need to call 911 for Saxy.
That crowd just went dead. I thought my kid muted the tv
At least McCutchen makes Ashley pitch. One-out walk.
yay bunting
WHY ARE YOU BUNTING
Pirates "threatening"
What now? This sucks!
Pittsburgh doesn't want to win this game. Great job, Hurdle.
All seven sons in GT attendance, just to see the Pirates fold like origami
In positive news, with 2.5 hours left I am #58 on Dark Avengers: Heroic...which means I've got a shot at a Doctor Octopus cover.
at least there's that
this game is done. Bumgarner has no pitch count and he's got one hit through 4.2 innings. Volquez, on the other hand, sucks.
Clint Hurdle, you suck.
Hurdle's gonna have to call on some Ned Yost in-spite-of-yourself magic
I think Hurdle may be on crack for that hip.
There could be no other explanation.
5-0 SF
You have to destroy the brain, or they just keep coming back.
where was that brandon crawford strike out last AB
Is it to early to start chanting "C'mon Nats!!"??
OK the Royals came back after I went to bed. Maybe the Pirates can do the same.
Gnite all
And the Giants are doing this without Pagan, Morse or Cain
7-0 through 7.
Way to go, Clint
This is depressing. I'm out. Nighty night all.
ugh
Way to go, Clint. Way to give the Giants momentum.
