Game 11 Thread: April 15 vs. Giants, 7p

Clayton Kershaw (1-0, 1.20) vs. Ashley Madison (1-0, 3.27).

42s all around for Jackie Robinson Day today, as the division-leading Dodgers and Giants square off at the Ravine. I could say a lot about how Kershaw led the team to victory five days ago against this same opposing starter, or how the Dodgers have rebounded from a difficult series last weekend up north, or even how much I really dislike the Giants.

Instead, let me take the high road and honor Jackie Robinson with one of my favorite quotes of his:

"A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives."

I also liked reading what Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said about his first time wearing #42:

Among those in uniform No. 42 will be Dave Roberts, the first minority manager in the history of Robinson's franchise.

"I think I'm going to make a conscious effort tomorrow to really understand and take in the scope and magnitude of tomorrow," said Roberts. "It's a big deal. Jackie's obviously impacted me and many others, so I want to take some extra time to reflect for sure."

Let's go get this one, boys.
