As the Giants and Cubs cool off from their red-hot starts, the Dodgers and Cardinals suddenly find themselves in spitting distance of first place in their respective divisions — the Dodgers 4 games back and the Cards 6.5 back. Back in May, the Dodgers took two of three from the Cards at Dodger Stadium. Ah, remember those Ross Stripling days of yore?

Jedd Jerkhole is on the Cards now?
Yanks beat Giants
McCarthy allows one hit over 6 innings, Dodgers leave 10 on base. Score tied 2-2
Turner breaks the tie!
fuckaduck
Kenley ties it back up!
This is not going to end well
To the 11th!
Hola ya'll.
A lotta empty seats in St. Louis for a Friday night game. BEST FANS IN BASEBALL!
Hey Cliffy! To be fair, it's hot as balls out there
To the 12th!
@Orel True. I'm shvitzing just thinking about Midwestern humidity.
Siddown, Jerk-O!
Why the hell are cards fans booing Yasiel?
Apparently Puig doesn't play the right way
OH NO BAEZ
Baez is in. Hold on to your butts, everyone.
Jesus, Baez. Almost gives up the game-winner on his first pitch
To the 14th!
Utley: hard fly out
Seager: hard fly out
Turner: ?
hard fly out
To the 15th!
Barnes with a great slide. Drive him in, dammit!
Come on, Joc.
This ump's strikezone is baffling.
To the 16th!
The Jekyll and Hyde nature of this offense is also baffling.
Fuckin' fatass Matt Adams.
welp
The offense decided to show up this afternoon.
AGon with a Piazza Special, a "clutch" homer with the team already up 3 runs.
Come on, Maeda, make it through 7. Please.
Dammit, Roberts! Leave him in! Ugh.
Cliffy with the Piazza burn!
Cliffy in extra snarky mode. i likes.
Welcome to the big leagues rook! 6-0 top of the first. A-Gon with the grand slam and Kazmir with 2 RBIs.
I've been in a surly mood this weekend, so I'm bringin' the SOSG-inspired heat. I learned from the best! The Cards are one of those teams that bring it out in me.
Rancho Cardinalendo, courtesy of a struggling Trevor Rosenthal, and nobody out. More runs please. Rub it in.
Aaaand Van Slyke grounds into a double play without driving in a run.
Libertore in for the Dodgers, and Lipitor required for those of us nervous about another game of 4+ bullpen innings.
Blanton coming in with the bases loaded and only one out. It's all goin' to hell.
9-6 Dodgers. Godfuckingdmamit.
Guys are talking to one another in the Cardinal dugout. LEADERSHIP AND GRITTY GRIT, EVERYONE! NO OTHER TEAM IN BASEBAWL DOES THIS!
I swear, every goddamn game on Fox or ESPN featuring St. Louis means you're gonna have to listen to at least five innings worth of Cardinal mythos.
Blanton gets hit pretty hard by each batter, but all three are outs. Wish Joc would stop jumping into the outfield wall (to be fair, I wish Blanton wouldn't let hitters hit them out there to begin with).
Nice play by Seager to end the 8th; 9-6 LA.
Joc with a nice catch to sit Fatt Adams down. Though I don't know how many times he's already run into the ground or outfield wall with that wonky shoulder. Makin' me nervous. I think Orel is next on the outfield depth chart if we have another injury.
Saxy beat me to the Joc sentiments. Get out of my head, Sax!
Bring it home, Kenley.
Glad to see Wong is OK after that weird incident with the first base ump, though.
I can't make heads or tails of this umpiring crew's strike zone. They're all over the map with some of these calls, for both teams.
Ball game! Kenny Lee sits 'em down in a pleasantly drama-less 9th! Just 3 games back, ya'll!
big win
