Magic Number
Clayton Kershaw (14-7, 2.18) vs. Patrick Corbin (6-4, 2.99)
What the what? Didn't SoSG AC, Sax, Nomo, and Dusty just leave the last game about twenty minutes ago? Felt like it after trying to get out of the parking lot last night. Today features the extremely rare home weekday get-away day game, or as we at SoSG call them, hangover days.
Fresh off last night's miraculous non-Greinke start win and the much-appreciated Padres win over the Gnats, Dodgers now have the number five in their minds. Interestingly, Kershaw has only started against the DBags once this season, an outing in which he got his ass kicked. Turn that around, get out of town, and put this NL West title to bed, boys.

Anyone else up in dis GT bish for the early game?
Drive-by hi
(waves)
(arm falls off)
Dusty...I'll be in dis bish today...
Orel...Hi!
Very appropriate choice by Dusty to use Corey's number 5 in the GT to represent our MN (the superstitious baseball fan in me is afraid to actually say magic number, also, that same superstitious girl who lives inside of me is afraid to say that I'm finally starting to get excited....shhhhhh, don't tell anyone I said that).
Sax has a superstitious girl living inside of him, too. It's weird when she giggles and Sax gets all embarrassed.
For some reason, I am at the ballpark today. Will provide clarification of any in-game confusion if possible.
S'up Dusty (and others)... I am here because, well, it's a day game.
Little known fact: the graphic used in last night's Late Breaking News post is from the local ABC affiliate here in NW Arkansas.
P. Ditty in da hizzouse,yo!
jesus, as soon as I tune in, they start scoring. What the hell?
Ditty!
three straight hits vs Clayton? that happens about as often as Dusty passes up a 3rd Cadillac
Clayton not getting them past anybody so far, singles and lots of fouls
swinging strikeout, needed that, 1 down
Great GT and accompanying picture, Dustometer
Good to see Truck Turner back in the lineup
Greg, are you close to the broadcast booth? Can you scream "SONS OF STEVE GARVEY"? I might be able to hear on this broadcast
@FB re Cadillacs
It's never happened!
Clayton Ks Owings for the second out
Time to wriggle off this hook
there we go, let's get this back
Brim, I'm up in the reserved.
AJ with a 2-out double!
damn, Heisey nearly had one there, Tomas gets lucky
Spanky...If you're out there...Maybe you can take Heisey under your wing (think dre) and put some fear in him of the repercussions that only you can unleash...
ugh, Clayton playing with fire, 2 on for Goldschmidt
come on,Kersh. sack up!
heh, Vin just call them Snakes
will do my best Karen. it'd be much more effective and easier to unleash the wrath if Heisey were to piss me off though.
I am so fucking tired of Paul Goldschmidt
Usually it isn't until the play offs that I live and die with every single pitch. I'm sure most of us are like that, but I'm starting to find myself doing that now...making myself way to stressed and intense. I think I may have picked the wrong week to give up heroin.
Clayton with a single
That's our boy, Kersh!!
damn. sooooooooooo close
Ruggiano nearly gets one but it's foul
Wow. Taking pitches. What a concept.
weak sauce Rollins
thanks for taking a pitch, Jimmy
Spanky...Mutt is doing his lefty - righty lineup thing based on the opposing pitcher.
wha? Drury with a homer off Kershaw? Clayton is off today
BREAK OUT THE HEROIN KAREN!
can't see how this lineup is going to catch up to 3
Whoever that Hill dude is...fuck him.
SVS with a 1-out single
Aaron Hill muffs AJ's grounder, SVS to third and will no doubt be left there
I take it back...the Hill dude is A-OK.
Heisey Spank...Are you pissed yet??
Is it bad luck? or bad playing?
i am tired of this AAA lineup
makes me want to quit AA
well shit. that was worthless.
Why the fuck is Kershaw down 3-0?!
McGwire should channel his 'roid rage on these players that swing at everything.
Clayton done
Clay looking a little pissed at Mutt at being pulled.
Ruggiano mistiming his hits, ends up at third after the throw ends up in the camera well
but, no matter, he'll be left there
Karen, he should be. With this bullpen, it's like giving up.
Rollins walks to set up the double play
Turner walks, double play still in order
bases juiced for Jimi
are they teasing us or is maybe something good happening???
Howie! 2-3 good guys!
No one throwing yet. Waiting to see how the inning shapes up.
*in Samuel L. Jackson voice* - "fuck getting Kershaw off the hook. i wanna win this motherfucking game."
Nicasio warming I think.
SVS can't hit lefties anymore
Veteran AB.
GRAND SLAM CHRIS HEISEY?!?!?!?!?
wish i had a tub of Hi-Chew like the one next to Kid K on the bench. that shit is the most.
AND YOU'RE WELCOME,Y;ALL
Now that's what I call getting your pitcher off the hook!
SIDDOWN YOU MUTT!
Someone put the fear of Spank in him!
All credit on that slam goes to my buddy Spank!!
Guerrero with a double?!?
Chris Heisey?!?! Wow
One reason why this is the greatest game in the world.
Austin Barnes? wasn't he the dude who caught Will Ferrel when he pitched with the Dodgers?
I leave my computer for a few minutes and Chris Heisey happened???
OK gotta head home, get this win, SOSGers and SOSGettes!
walk another one Nicasio. load the bases. fuck it
Now that's the sort of sneaky shit we need!
Bomb Squad in full effect. no damage yet but that's always a possibility. Yimi's turn on the flame thrower.
Bullpen tightrope.
What sorcery is this? Hatcher doesn't allow any base runners or runs?? There is magic afoot.
THAT'S A WRAP!! ON TO DENVER PEEPS!!
Winster!
Unexpected win! Still nervous about the playoffs though
you should be,Orel. you should be.
Ian Kennedy pitching like he bet on the Giants to repeat, but its 3-2 Padres
Double play gets Kennedy out of a bases loaded jameroo
Feeling Spank's pain, watching the SD broadcast. I generally like Dick Enberg but he Steiners a lot of balls
Goddamn, Ian Kennedy is awful, 11 hits in 4+ innings
If Oyster Pubes wasn't 0-3, the Gnats would have 20 runs instead of 3. Somehow it's just 3-3
Still a loseable game for the Giants
All tied up!

Thank you to the Padres and the Frisco bullpen
