Hyun-Jin Ryu (14-7, 3.38) vs. John Lackey (14-10, 3.82).
The series shifts to Busch Stadium, home of those Best Fans in Baseball. The Dodgers turn to Ryu, coming off of three weeks of rest for an irritated shoulder. Mattingly has said that Dan Haren is waiting in the wings should Ryu falter early, which would almost certainly trigger Kershaw on three days' rest for Game 4. So in other words: I just want to tell you good luck, Hyun-Jin. We're all counting on you.
Offensively, well, just look at the picture above. The Dodgers have piled on 24 hits in two games so far, A.J. is 5 for 8, and only Uribe has yet to contribute at the plate. And as we noted earlier, this Dodger team is a bunch of road warriors, for whatever reason. I know regular-season success hasn't been much of a postseason predictor (hello, Angels), so it's time for the Dodgers to change the narrative. I don't know exactly what that means, but it feels like it needed to be said. GO BLUE!

Off to enemy territory for our game.
MKW is pretty nervous.
Epale Sistah Girl!! Are you here for the whole game?
I'm here (on the GT), but peeking between the fingers on my hands.
I feel like that girl in Blair Witch, saying "I'm so scared"
"He's Clayton Kershaw. He's not curling up and going away. He's back to business. He's a different cat". - Mattingly.
Saxy...Are you 'here' on this continent??
"I'm just thinking about going out and getting the win tomorrow. It's to hard to think about all that other stuff...I just want another chance". - Kid K

Epale,bishes and whores!! Let's have a good one here and on the field.
SuperDee leads with a single!
bear down,Agone. find your pitch
I hope Karen did her nekked dance for Kemp
Fuck you Jobu.
I'm not sure but I think Buck may need to change his panties after announcing that redbird lineup.
Is this Ryu's first start with that hair color?
That looked pretty damn good.
If Vin made the trip to St. Louie, where's at on the AM dial? 8 more innings of these hacks and I'll either kill someone or myself
Spanky..I think it's 570.
Potential,whatever. the twat dropped the ball.
thanks,karen. gonna look for it.
AJellis is on fire.
AJ is on fire!!
Great minds Spank.
Sack up,Ryu. And stiop with the Clairol,yo!
Definitely,karen.
Checks for the K! SNAP!!
We can only win if we score runs. Best get to hitting,bums!
SHOW SOME PATIENCE YASIEL
7 K's in a row.
Yep. They're in his dome.
Matty leading off the 4th. I'm running out now to do my nekked moonlight dancing. Hold the fort Spanky.
feeling worse
if the Dodgers had a real hitting coach and not some roided out motherfucker,Puig wouldn't be in this situation.
Don't let this one get away Donnie.
I hate the stoopid Cardinals
I hate Carpenter.
@karen yes, I meant to, it's only my dad wanted to talk to me
Offense. Paging offense. We have a starter who needs picking up.
DON'T LET HIM IMPLODE DONNIE.
We need your good karma Sistah!
I think i best get nekked meself.
Why do we keep pitching to Matt Carpenter
Fat Fatams.
Saxy...Because Donnie Baseball is calling this game.
let's drum up some mojo up in this bish!!!
*runs nekked out the door*
My Sistah's good karma is in da house!! Ryu out of the inning.
Matt Adams reminds me of this disgusting kid I knew in grade school who ate mayonnaise sandwiches for lunch.
Every day.
I think I'm going to refer to him as Matt Mayonnaise from now on.
OK. I added chanting, incense and several lower body gyrations to my nekked moonlight dancing. Blue should be feelin' the mojo.
did Saxy move? I think he did.
if the Cardinals get another hit here,i'm going back to my PC and start streaming the game cause we win when i do that.
BB for AJ
It's gonna be one of these games?
Running out of time for these guys to start hitting
Can't believe Carpenter took a curtain call for that HR (according to the highlight thumbnail I refuse to watch)
Maybe it's time to start streaming Spank. Sax, whatever you did to get game 2, do it again.
Feelin' the MO and the JO BABY!!!
nice way to break the drought, Yasiel! we can do this!
FUCK YOU CARDINALS AND JOE BUCK!!! FUCK ALL Y'ALL IN THE EAR,PUIG HATERS!!
Digging the avatar,Karina. Digging it big time.
Gonna miss the big screen but yeah,me thinks me better get back to streaming.
Rescue nothing. That's talent,bitch!!
NEW FREAKING GAME BISHES!!!
HanRam! worries me that Gonzo and Kemp couldn't bring that RBI
New game
Spanky...It might be time to pull out the rally thong.
That might be a poor choice of words.
not losing, I'll take that
Yeah Buck. That's what Verducci just said.
Duh.
Mattingly will fuck this game up.
Online streaming:mobilized
100
dammit
@karen, I am deliberately not streaming this game as a result.
It is killing me.
Only iphone Gameday for me
I haven't even watched the Washington highlights as to not screw this up
Rally thong: crusty and mobilized
Spank...Superstitious wins ballgames baby. You do what you gotta do.
Next year the Fox plan for it's telecasts is to put more crap on the screen and be done with actually showing the game.
Potential rain delay? Which team does that favor?
I would have let Ryu bat, and pitch one more inning. But what the fuck do I know?
Prescient
yep. we know that one already,neeebs.
But what do I know?
FUCK
Once again, the wrong pitching call by Donnie!
Psalms 3:16
Ryu is cruising. There is no tomorrow. Fuck Mattingly.
FUCK!!
Good call Donnie. Right on fucking schedule.
Three pitches, three hits. What. The. Fuck.
Sax with the Wong Psalms 3:16. Too, too funny.
Gee Don. Ya think it's time to pull Elbert?
The bullpen is even more of an arson squad than usual this series
I'm not sure it's so much the wrong choice as it is lack of a right choice.
We need Lasorda to rally our troops.
Tommy would've left Ryu in and pitched his arm off.
Oh well, what you gonna do?
Time for composure Dodgers.
Doesn't feel like a win, but I'd be stoked to be wrong.
Don't worry, guys. We'll score one in the 9th
I'm stoked to see Stubbs use the word Stoked.
Don Mattingly has had three games to make pitching decisions, and he's fucked it up every single time.
We need a real manager.
More beer
Suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.
these guys could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch!
double play is coming
about to raid my grandpa's chicken coup and go all Jobu up in it.
We should all be suffering together in a real bar.
I'm glad all those Dodgers got so dressed up for the flight to St. Louis, because now they're ready for the funeral.
Howell successfully lowers his ERA from 27.00 to 13.50!
credit to karina for calling the double play
karina, please give us words of hope
@Sax I find your lack of faith disturbing
Bad, bad call on Matt.
This ump has been squeezing us all night and giving the shards every call.
Tying run up to bat. Can't ask for much more than that, especially with this strike zone
Crawford with a bloop single. Two on, one out, Urine up.
birds playin' it here for the delay.
metheny with the stall tactic here. could be brilliant.
Why is it so clear to us what's going on here and the ump is standing there oblivious?
we'll get 'em tomorrow
You see how Metheny slowed the game down there, Donnie?
Take notes.
Why can't we have a real life, professional manager?
SNLA just came on live and it's a disappointed group.
I have to say, I kind of expected this. The Boys respond best with their backs against the wall. It's going to take Kershaw and Greinke to bring it home.
JHairJr saying Dale Scott won't be behind the plate again in the Post Season.
I'm going to bed now and pull the covers up over my head. Night kids.
Oh look, another World Series win for the Cardinals or Giants. Because you know goddamn well the Royals and Orioles ain't winning this shit.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
I'd honestly rather be kicked in the nuts.
I want to bag on Mattingly. I really do. But every damn decision he's made has backfired. At SOME POINT, a player he puts in has to deliver.
i'd like to too,Gnomes and i may have. Really it's the players fault for not playing to their potential. It's the managers job to maximize that and Muttingly has consistently not done that. We need a kick ass,no bullshit manager.
I think you just volunteered, Spank, m'man!
PGT up.
