Ian Thomas (0-1, 5.23) vs. Jon Niese (5-8, 3.36).
As a general rule, I don't trust people with two first names. (Three first names is even worse.) So Ian Thomas' first career big league start doesn't give me a lot of hope. Thomas joined the Dodgers in the Juan Uribe deal with the Braves earlier this season; he is 1-3 lifetime with a 4.71 ERA (including one loss with the Dodgers, taken on June 2 vs. Colorado). Meanwhile, the Giants open up yet another cushy series with the bottom-feeding A's.
One week to find ourselves another starter.

Whole lotta baby-related scratching going on. Niese may be scratched tonight.
That's gotta be a first. Baby Daddy vs. Baby Daddy

#Dodgers have been told that Jon Niese will start for the #Mets. No double baby scratch for now.
There better be a twitter war over who's baby is cuter.
Don't throw out the baby with the starting pitcher
New lineup! AG scratched with new baby, uh, I mean back stiffness.

FB in the hoose!
In the hoose as in at Citi?
Sweet, sweet revenge RBI double for Turner. 1-0 Dodgers
Feeling a little edgy about our starting pitcher...
I can't imagine why, Karen.
By the way, sorry for disappearing on you during yesterday's game
@Orel, yes standing behind right field. I can't tell if it's on purpose or not but Joc over or underthrows his warmup throws with Puig a lot, too much to be an accident
Nice play by SVS
Orel...I was hoping you were still in the house so I wasn't sweating out Clay's Perfecto alone...
I just double scratched.
RA...no outs...
@FB, 4:22p: As in he's fucking with him?
Bases loaded no out in the second, Thomas up
At least Ian is helping his own cause. 2-0 Dodgers
3-0 on Joc's double...We need about 10 more for me to relax a little...
JocBI!
We should have had more but I will take it
3-0 LA through 1.5
@Orel maybe, I saw it a few times last night too. Probably just a coincidence, but it's weird
A little passive-aggressive if true.
FB please go to Shake Shack for me
JT solo!!
Turner HR! 4-0
Puig up out dis bish!!!
As much as I miss the bubble machine and the guy responsible for it, I really enjoy the individual celebrations in the dugout on the homers...
Puig 2 run shot!!!
6-0 Blue
Almost feel bad for Niese here
Sooo 4 in the 4th?
Almost but not quite, right?!
Alanna Rizzo does in-game interviews? Has this always been a thing?
Beautiful breaking ball to K Granderson!!
Justin Turner will not be denied.
Dodgers finally have a frame in which they don't score (the fourth inning). SVS leaves Turner at second
Turner is 3-for-3
I went to Shake Shack when I visited Citi Field.
I expected more
I think I jinxed us, I hope we hang on

@DB 5.17p: You know, Karen has been on pretty good behavior of late. And here you come to fuel the hate again!
(just kidding, guys)
Dusty have you posted tomorrow's Daisy Thread yet?
To fuel the hate: remember the J.D. Drew-also-out-at-the-plate playoff game vs. the Mets.
I was with Orel watching that game
I still have nightmares
That was a nightmarish postseason
Helluva good idea for a GT tomorrow, Orel.
(picks flowers)
Hairston fave!
Uh oh, Duda leadoff double
6-1
@Dusty...Thank you for the birthday mention...Hoping my present is a Blue W...
@Saxy...I've been trying to be a good girl of late but, as always, I can't be responsible for my bad behavior when Our Boys play the evildoers!!!
It's Karen's birthday? Happy birthday, Karen! I'd send over a singing spongeworthy telegram if I could.
Ian Thomas was a pleasant surprise...Hoping that a 5 run lead is enough for our arson squad...
...and I deserve a singing Sponge Worthy if I do say so myself!!!
I have to admit, Ian Thomas was pretty good there. Five innings of one-run ball.
And now it's Peralta.
Happy 21st Birthday Karen!
Thanks Saxy...I think I'll stick at 21!!
Bullpen starting fires right on schedule
Peralta is so darn bad. It is pathetic.
Bullpen magic. 6-2
Why Peralta? Why?
And shave that damn chin, Joel
Maybe the Front Office can trade for Drew Butera as our 5th pitcher...
Austin Barnes and the yellow nail polish
Peralta looks so rattled, he's a traveling wilbury
The thing is, even Peralta's outs were hit hard. We gotta get rid of this guy
I5.66 ERA for the bullpen in July. Great.
^5.66
Nicasio, my hero. For now.
Good job, Nicasio. Comes in to fan Duda on five pitches, stranding two.
6-2 through 6
Gretel's brother in to pitch for Metropolitans...
Uribe in NY tomorrow...
...versus Greinke
Juanny Casio
Jimmy!
JRoll!!!
Jim E. Rollins!
DAMMIT OREL!
UJTD!!

Just how in the world do you take Torres seriously???

SVS!!!
