NLDS Game 1 Thread: Mets @ Dodgers, 6.30p

Clayton Kershaw (16-7, 2.13) vs. Jacob deGrom (14-8, 2.54).

After almost a week of waiting, this is IT. The weight of past postseason shortcomings, on the shoulders of our three-time Cy Young Award winner and reigning National League MVP. The pressure of a first postseason appearance on the pulse of the 2014 NL Rookie of the Year. The hangover from nightmare NLDS' past, tightening any Dodger fan's sphincter to total constipation.

Let's get this party started. Let's grab the first of 11 wins, starting tonight!

UPDATE FROM SOSG AC: Let's do this.

got a bad feeling on this inning here, the Duda leadoff walk doesn't help

Fred's Brim said...

Donnie better be ready to make a move if Clayton's cart starts shaking

Orel said...

Turner is playing like a beard on fire

Fred's Brim said...

Mart Hart is gone but Larrt King is still there

Fred's Brim said...

well said, Spank

Fred's Brim said...

don't lose this guy, Clayton

spank said...

Mart Hart had to pee. leave my broad alone FB!

Steve Sax said...

My heart is breaking for Kershaw here.

Fred's Brim said...

ugh that was terrible, 0-2 to a walk
deGrom to bunt but were gonna fuck this up

karen said...

(clicking my ruby slippers) I believe in Clayton Kershaw, I believe in Clayton Kershaw. I believe in Clayton Kershaw....

Steve Sax said...

Give me a double play, guys.

Fred's Brim said...

Grandy gonna slap a ball somewhere to make it 3-0

Fred's Brim said...

shit, he was on the first one

spank said...

balls to throw that curve. you go kid k!

Orel said...

On your feet!

spank said...

fastball inside!fastball inside!

Orel said...

Kershaw still touching 95

Fred's Brim said...

Baez in to fail against Wright

Orel said...

We ded

spank said...

WRONG!

FUCK YOU MUTTINGLY!

Fred's Brim said...

FB's heart can't take this shit

FB's brain can't take these matthew mcconaughey commercials

Orel said...

Put Kenley in!

Steve Sax said...

If we lose this game, because of Mattingly and his goddamn ridiculous lineup choices...

I am going to get violent.

Orel said...

Now now, Sax.

You mean WHEN we lose this game

Steve Sax said...

Baez? Hooooo boy.

Fred's Brim said...

throw strikes, stupid!

Steve Sax said...

2-1 to Wright.

First batters faced by Baez, batting .320? Great fucking move, Don.

Steve Sax said...

3-1

Fred's Brim said...

damn

QuadSevens said...

Well that was crappy.

Steve Sax said...

Dammit.

Can we please fire Mattingly NOW NOW NOW

Fred's Brim said...

you could see that coming from last Sunday

Fred's Brim said...

booooo

Steve Sax said...

I am so mad at Don Mattingly right now, I want to punch him in the face. He is a horrible, horrible manager who makes horrible, horrible decisions based on gut instinct that are inevitably wrong. He can't win with the biggest lineup in the game, because the team has to overcome his idiocy.

Zaidi and Friedman should put on uniforms and kick Mattingly out of the dugout and cut off his access pass.

Orel said...

Nice knowing ya, Donnie

spank said...

now i gets to hear about the greatness of David wright. thank you dodgers

Fred's Brim said...

why oh why is Joc in the lineup?

Fred's Brim said...

at least the Mets are ruining deGrom's arm forever

Fred's Brim said...

Joc was on that one

Fred's Brim said...

stupidass

Steve Sax said...

Utley.

Yes, let's bat the .200 hitter here.

Fred's Brim said...

shit went south when Mart went to pee

shoulda held it, Mart!

Orel said...

Don't worry, guys. The Dodgers are sure to score a meaningless run before this is all over

Fred's Brim said...

Clippard for the 8th, Familia for the 9th?

Steve Sax said...

And Chase Ks. What a surprise.

MATTINGLY YOU SUCK

Fred's Brim said...

@Orel - maybe 2!

Fred's Brim said...

oh god, Joel "white flag" Peralta

Darling just said "he had a pretty good year for the Dodgers"

Fred's Brim said...

Dre makes an ugly catch just to torture spank

Fred's Brim said...

man this ump is terrible!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Not once, not even out of sheer dumb luck has a single one of Mattingly's moves worked in the postseason.

Fred's Brim said...

that goddamn walk to Duda, that was the end

Fred's Brim said...

inexcusable

Steve Sax said...

Mattingly should think about what his gut is telling him, and then do the opposite.

Fred's Brim said...

Mart sitting on the ghost of Larrt King

Hideo Nomo said...

Hey, maybe Peralta last inning.

Fred's Brim said...

@Saxy just like George Costanza

"My name is Don. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents."

Fred's Brim said...

fuck that draftkings shithead wearing the Pats throwback

Fred's Brim said...

howbout we score a run, just to remember how it feels?

Orel said...

Crawford made contact. Good for him!

Hideo Nomo said...

Don't pinch hit for Carl or anything.

Fred's Brim said...

Howie with a double

Fred's Brim said...

the crowd has stayed in it somehow, maybe out of ignorance

Orel said...

Howie double!

Orel said...

Sweet, sweet ignorance

Steve Sax said...

Carl Crawford will end the game 0-for-4 with 2 Ks. Well done, Carl. Great job.

Steve Sax said...

Maybe Seager thought he was supposed to hit like Rollins today.

Fred's Brim said...

hey a run

Steve Sax said...

WE ARE ON THE BOARD

SAX CAN DRINK!

Orel said...

AND THERE IT IS

Fred's Brim said...

Familia coming in, Clippard muttering

Steve Sax said...

The run prevents SoSG AC from having to streak, so that's good

(maybe not so good for the ladies, however)

Steve Sax said...

my feed is running so late, it's still on commercial break and I know the count is at least 1-1 to Turner

Cliff Beefpile said...

Fuck.

Steve Sax said...

DAMMIT

Steve Sax said...

3-1 through 8.

Fred's Brim said...

get bent, Oyster Pubes!

spank said...

i've been on commercial break since the count was 3-1,whatever that means

Steve Sax said...

Mattingly is probably going to Kenley right now.

Or Greinke.

Fred's Brim said...

fuck you and your stupid dad who bought 3 field level seats for some 8-year olds

Steve Sax said...

Quit showing these annoying Mets kids just because they're the illegitimate kids of Ron Darling

Steve Sax said...

@FB: if you see any of those rugrats @ Citi Field, you had better kneecap them

Steve Sax said...

Carl Crawford needs to scoop up the horse poop after the game

Fred's Brim said...

i haven't read anything today, why Ellis over Grandal? Yaz's bad shoulder or Clayton wanting AJ to catch?

spank said...

Greinke pitches a 2 hit shutout tomorrow then say's bye to the Dodgers in the winter.

Fred's Brim said...

@Saxy you know it, although i'll mostly be protecting my own kneecaps, especially if we're down 0-2

Fred's Brim said...

@spank - win tomorrow, lose 3 and 4?

spank said...

this is your LIFE, muttingly! best pull out all the stops or else Machete is going to visit you.

Steve Sax said...

Bottom of the ninth. Here we go.

Orel said...

Last gasp, ladies & gents

Fred's Brim said...

if Vin were healthy, was he supposed to do the whole game on the radio?

spank said...

i don't want to say FB but yes me thinks.

Fred's Brim said...

why Rollins for AJ? Why not Yaz?

Steve Sax said...

whatcha got Andre

spank said...

JRoll...our saviour!

Steve Sax said...

Ethier, 0-for-4 tonight. Great call, Donnie!

Steve Sax said...

Jimmy Rollins now comes in. Great.

Steve Sax said...

Mattingly with his big shoutout to AARP, making sure both Utley and Rollins get playing time

Orel said...

Yaz hurt

Steve Sax said...

I will stop bagging on Joc Pederson if he hits a two-run HR here.

spank said...

hit it in the hole Joc! be a team player

spank said...

Joc trying to pull the ball

Steve Sax said...

shot of mattingly in the dugout, looking like he has no idea where or who he is

Fred's Brim said...

maybe tomorrow night

Orel said...

Game over. Season over.

spank said...

pulls the ball

Steve Sax said...

Mattingly, you SUCK

spank said...

don't forget about McGwire too. he sucks even worse than them all...except for Muttingly.

Hideo Nomo said...

Angry, but not as angry as I'd be if this was the Cards again.

Orel said...

Just...tired of the same old pain. Why can't we lose in new painful ways?

Paul said...

Figured. Kike doesn't start. No spark. Kershaw gets out pitched. Meh. Fuck meh.

spank said...

Joctober...that's a laugh.





(cries)

karen said...

I had to bow out early. I couldn't take it. I watched but couldn't move my fingers to comment. After a semi-nights sleep I am ready for a brave new world...One where we win with Sponge Worthy. All at once...let's squeeze our eyes shut real tight and do our guided imagery meditation picturing Sponge Worthy bounding off the mound after a complete game win tonight.

And stop laughing at me!!! WTF else is left that we haven't already tried??

Hideo Nomo said...

PGTs are for winnners.
