Game 82 Thread: July 4 vs. Mets, 4.15p

Zack Greinke (6-2, 1.58) vs. Matt Harvey (7-5, 2.99)

Welp, throw out everything we said in the GT yesterday. Dodgers were back home after a grueling road trip, playing on a day's rest. Kershaw was taking the mound with a strong lineup behind him, up against a team that can't generate any offense. And lost.

Soooooo...I'm calling a do-over like we used to when we were playing in the streets as kids and a car or tree or something interfered with the run of play. We'll start Zack today and send Clayton to his room to think about why he's so mediocre this season.

This one's nationally televised (FOX) and on at an odd time for those of us on the Best Coast. Get those grills fired up early so the BBQ will be ready in time for the game. Oh, in case you thought I forgot:

Welp, we made it to 4th inning before the shadow whining began

Fuck you and your 'ticky tack' bullshit Reynolds bitching about Agon questioning that tag

Orel said...

Harvey is throwing too many pitches, his nose is bleeding, and the Dodger bats are helping him out by swinging early in the count

Orel said...

Zanky single!

Orel said...

Greinke's got a whole run of support. He'll be fine.

Orel said...

Siddown, Lagares!

karen said...

karen said...

I just love the Agon / JT selfies after the homers

Orel said...

Greinke's got two whole runs of support. He'll be fine.
