All 7, and we'll watch them fall? Certainly not if the Dodgers' offense keeps up its listless ways. And, like a bad earworm, we can't get rid of 7 (as it stands in the way of love!).
The St. Louis Cheaters have already clinched, but the Dodgers aren't knocking the Giants out of it, maintaining their magic number at a healthy seven games with 13 to play. I'm not comfortable, certainly not with Chase Utley having to play third base to fill in for an injured Justin Turner (Utley was 0-for-3); Adrian Gonzalez experiencing stiffness in his back (2-for-4 with a HR), Howie Kendrick just getting back (1-for-5, with 5 LOB), and Joc Pederson and Yasmani Grandal both looking lost again.
Brett Anderson lasted only 4.2 IP, giving up 10 H and 5 ER with only 1 K (and 1 BB). Juan Nicasio remains useless with 0.1 IP and 2 ER yielded. And if Jim Johnson could get a 1-2-3 inning one of these days, it would be a welcome surprise.
But it comes back to the offense--come on guys, it's the Snakes. What are you waiting for?

This is beginning to feel like the 2013 season where we sat on our dicks the last 3 weeks trying not to lose. I really hope this is done before we go up to SF
and I think Anderson is tired. he's creeping up on his career high in innings pitched which he set his rookie year 6 years ago.
and BOOOO
And god dammit!
Nonetheless, I'll be there tonight.
