Clayton in great form (despite the glute issue the past 48 hours nagging at him) on a nice Saturday at home against our rivals from that other county way over there? I'll take it! We'll chew bubble gum and kick Heaney.
Longtime SoSG friend Jason at this game, making his once-every-five-years appearance given that he lives in [redacted], so yours truly looks forward to having a "Diet Coke" with him and possibly spooning afterward. I'm planning to get there early to watch Kid warm up/long toss, because that's a show in and of itself. No truth to the rumor I'll be having pre-pre-game drinks at El Compadre on Sunset in 3...2...1...Also a shoutout to another longtime SoSG friend Steve "P. Ditty" Dittmore, who attended last night's game after working the Special Olympics in Los Angeles the past week. Here's to both of you for putting up with us for so long!

Same lineup as yesterday. Jo sits and thinks about what he's done.
Used up all his HRs in the derby.
I'm still not used to the 'stros being an American League team...but sure am ecstatic that they are screwing with the OC team.
Ohhh, I merit the "long time friend" designation.
I'm already at the park doing my part to kill the long standing and inaccurate stereotype about when Dodgers fans arrive.
Felt a little sorry for Billy Ashley who's signing autographs out in left with no takers. I probably should have had him sign something just to keep him on his toes.
that sucks about Billy Ashley. should have bought him a beer.
Here we go!
Old friend Shane Victorino leading off for the Angels
3 pitches, 1 out
9 pitches, 2 out
Siddown, MVP!
Kershaw strikes out Trout looking on a curveball. That's baseball porn right there
MVP??? Doesn't MVP stand for Clayton Kershaw? Couldn't be another one.
Most Valuable Punchout
Dodgers at least making contact
I think the curve is working today
Pujols singles
Howie almost with the glove-flip DP!
Howie & Jimmy putting on a clinic!
^^^Hoping the young 'uns are paying attention...
Our double-play combo is playing the kind of defense Kershaw and Greinke deserve!
Sosh outta there!!!
Puig's hammy looks alright.
/knocks on wood
RANCHO ARDIENDO...for Clayton with two out
Kershaw at least makes contact!
Anyone else leaving RISP and I gotta bitch...Kid gets a free pass.
Clayton walks Aybar
1-3 DP!
Beautiful!! Double up that rook at first!
Oops, Featherston was at first
Orel...Sponge boy is allowed!
I was just typing a comment about how I love Howie, but that Heaney sure would look good in a Dodger uni. Then Heaney pops up the bunt and Howie's Johnny on the spot at first. Still, I wonder what how that would've turned out...
SIDDOWN,VICTORINO!
Sponge Boy!
I think every Dodger fan has thought that, CB. We love Howie but could you imagine Heaney in this rotation? Ugh
Scoreless after 3
Siddown, Albert!
Everybody's looking for the curve and Clayton sneaks a fastball by Aybar for strike three!
SVS single!
Both teams playing solid D
Latos in the house...
Conflicting edits in this thread
^^^Every time that happens to me, I assume you are, as usual, stealing my comment!! :)
Scoreless after 5
KKKKKK
Howie leads off the bottom of the 6th with a single
AGon single! Runners on the corners!
Sax is awake! Men at corners with none out in the bottom of the sixth!
C'mon, SVS!
RISP for SVS, Puig and Yaz....
Good morning, Sax!
DAMN I thought that was out!
3-1 count to SVS
JUST missed a 3-run homer! Still, 1-0 Blue!
One in....
SVS sac fly; five more feet and it would have been a three-run HR
Heaney pulled for that?!
Heaney pulled after 97 pitches
Puig first-pitch swinging AGAIN
Yep...first pitch swinging again
DAMMIT
YAS!
YAZ!
Can't catch that one wannabe MVP...3-0 Blue
Dammit Puig; new pitcher and you swing for that?! Fucking pathetic.
Trade him!
Oh wait
Yasmani should make Puig take notes
It seems Sax's feed is a little behind
My feed is sooooo alow
Where has this Rollins guy been all year?
3-0 Dodgers through seven
Kershaw out for the 9th, crowd goes nuts
I look forward to a flawless 9th from...Clayton?
There we go. I look forward to a flawless 9th from Kenley.
Looks like that flawless 9th from Kenley dream of yours is alive....
There's always tomorrow Orel....
Orel...That's my best Scarlett O'Hara advice...Tomorrow is another day...
Holy Shit
Still worrying about Kenley.
Ken Gurnick @kengurnick 3m
Jim Johnson warming up again for Dodgers.
Kenley vs. Trout again...
Not this time!
DOWN goes Trout! Come on, Kenley!
Now Albert...
Gandalf is a G.
Win!
We win!
How much is a girl expected to take????
We win but Oh My Gawd I wasn't sure I was going to make it...
noice
WOOP
I thought Kenley did a nice job there to battle back. The walk was inexcusable but the hits were a well-placed grounder and a blooper off the end of the bat. Glad he could work through that
Post-Game Thread Up! (and FB, I hadn't seen your comment but I'm already concerned about Kenley)
