9/19, 7p: Clayton Kershaw vs. Madison Bumgarner
DODGERS 2, GIANTS 1. Dodgers walk off in the 9th!
9/20, 7p: Rich Hill vs Johnny Cueto
GIANTS 2, DODGERS 0
9/21, 7p: Kenta Maeda vs Matt Moore
DODGERS 9, GIANTS 3. Magic number = 5!
Is there a better argument for appreciating the present than this?
Dodgers vs. Giants! First place vs. second place! 13 games left! 5-game lead! Magic number at 9! Vin's storied career coming to an end!
(cries)
Enjoy it, folks. Who knows what the future holds...and here's a little blast from the past, back when Game 1's grizzled veteran starters were wee lads:

Maybe we'll even see some frisco blood tonight...
Puig double. two out
Grandal tried to hit a flying bird with that swing. pretty high there.
late strike called by shitty umpire ends a Dodgers non-rally.
horrible throw by Gandalf on the stolen base. weak sauce,holmes,.
where all the homiez at?
not like it's a big game or anything.
Awesome wild pitch scores a Gnat. that was mint,Kershaw.
nothing for the Dodgers in the bottom of the inning.
shit fucking shit:
this ump
that most Gianty of runs you could possibly score
us against lefties
hopefully the Giants bullpen, if we get to see it
We may just get to see some madbum blood yet.
Lombard getting into the mix in that fight. Bumgarner should be suspended.
Gotta get after the bullpen now.
Blargh! Still 1-0 going to the 9th.
Bring the mojo,mofos. i need a win.
rally cap on
Damn, I love Toles.
The rabbit is on! Let's do this!
^Rally thong tambien. Cc:Karen
Damn that ankle-high strike. At least it's been consistent all night.
If the Dodgers win this, I'll buy a rally thong for reals.
Attaboy Seager!
we gots business
Mattingly would have wasted Kenley in the 8th.
TIE SCORE, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!
Thanks Gnats bullpen!
Come on, A-Gon!
He's gonna walk Gonzalez. Please, baseball gods, let Puig get the game-winner.
That would be sweet Cliff!
AGon with ththe walk off!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK YOU, SAN FRANCISCO!!!
WOOHOO!!
my play of the game was my internet feed dropping out before Agone's walkoff double. Fuck it. we won. Fuck it
holy shit
Wow! What o game!
Great game to be at. Thanks, Sax!

Oh yeah. Like we're going to let that one go.
Nice post! Great game! Horrible michelada!
Cliffy, u gotta come through with the rally thong. The baseball gods never forget pledged offerings!
Cliff: I may have a used one I can find for you. Will message you
HERE IS A LINK to a full transcript of the Vin Scully conference.

GAME 2
Utley 2B
Seager SS
Turner 3B
González 1B
Grandal C
Reddick RF
Toles LF
Pederson CF
Hill P
No score through three. I think we are 0 for 7 with RISP.
Hill wiggles out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the 4th.
Now score some runs dammit!
Dodgers strand two in each of first three innings
Wrong team listened to me.
We just need to get in their bullpen
fuck
and this is where Cueto settles in and cruises through the next 5 innings
Hill out
Howie's mustache jobbed on the check-swing strike call
ugh, we aren't getting another hit off Kwetto
Nope, Corey blooper
why did I pour myself a cup of coffee at 11:30pm?
ok NOW we aren't getting another hit off Kwetto
Did JT cut his hair again, it's more of a cute bob these days
Turner single puts another two on...
Settle in, FB! But I can't answer the hair question
ok NOWWW we aren't getting another hit off Kwetto
Another two stranded
Cardinals are up 10-4 in the 9th. Stupid Mets lost again. Speaking of hair, I'm not gonna miss Jacob DeGrom's stupid Lucy Van Pelt hair-do.
Is our clutch hitting waiting for the 9th again?
How about it shows up a little earlier tonight
deGrom::Van Pelt. Nice
dangit, this feels like where things get away from us
Hill out already? Jeez, Roberts.
heh heh good call Cliffy.
by the way, how's the thong fitting? It usually takes a wear or two to break it in. Or so I am told
Liberatore and Coleman terrify me these days
Avilan is a close third
I went to Target, but they don't have man thongs. I couldn't work up the nerve to ask a store employee where the dude thongs were. I'll try Macy's or Nordstrom tomorrow. The things I do for you, Dodgers!
Eight hits and no runs. This is game is giving me the runs. Show some resolve on Vinny bobblehead night, dammit!
time to sit Yasmani and let that elbow/shoulder/whatever heal. He is not adding much these days and Chooch is more than a fine replacement
@Cliffy, you could use a good, tight thong to keep those runs inside!
Kwetto's thong is riding up on him
who are we going to get Nuremberg Trial references from after Vin retires?
Cueto out!
No one said it had to be a man thong, Cliffy
Thong too tight. Cueto out.
the thong snapped, Kwetto out with an injury
Oof. Looks like Cueto strained something.
@Orel, My pride, such as it is, says it at least has to be a man thong.
it's sad, I have no confidence that Puig will do anything positive here
@FB, he looked a lot like the Puig that had to be sent down during that at-bat. What's worse, I have even less confidence in Hernandez.
wow, our right-handed bats are so sad
swing, swing, battle an 0-2 count, eventually K
worthless at bats
oof Liberatore in to ruin my night
Three more shots at the Giants' bullpen. Gotta hold here
@CB, 9:22p: I totally understand
Somebody needs to go back behind the plate and fix that divot in the LA that Pubes left when he lost his bat earlier in the game
Turner with our 9th hit. Come on, A-Gone.
Two more shots
Diablo up to wreck everything
how many times can we get Toles up to bat?
The bloom is off the rose with Segedin. Why the hell take Reddick, who's actually hitting, out?
why couldn't we just have fast-forwarded us to the 9th and saved us all a lot of time
One shot left
how can a 1-0 game take 3 and a half hours?
fuck
Poop.
Would be amazing if we could do this two nights in a row. But it ain't gonna happen
Down 2-0 in the ninth with the Giants still batting
Dodgers have been undefeated since Time Warner Cable became Spectrum, however
Fuck Romo.
Puig has not been looking during either of his ABs, as well
Need to send Puig down again. Even though the minor-league season is over
Fuckheads
Romo needs to stop snorting coke before he comes out of the 'pen.
FB is really surly today. I think my thong is chafing my sensitive areas
I don't have stats to back me up, but it feels like Segedin stopped hitting after his son was born.
Save Puig for opposing pitchers who hate his general existence.
Really wanted that one last night. It would have bumped the Gnats out of the playoff picture for the moment.
(Btw, catching up on comments because I got sleepy early last night.)
GAME 3
Kendrick LF
Seager SS
Turner 3B
González 1B
Puig RF
Ruiz C
Hernández CF
Culberson 2B
Maeda P
Our best hope is for Chooch to come up with a big hit
On the sofa, Vinny!
Vinny with the nice blue suit!
That can only mean good things
Sheezus, Delino's Mets are playing like they want SF in the playoffs
The hates a brewin'
So its gonna be that kind of night, Blue?
Maeda starts the game with a four-pitch walk. Great!
Mart Hart in the front row tonight, that has to be a good sign too
And the shitshow continues. 1-0 SF
4 pitch leadoff walk, shitty passed ball, run scoring single. That's a bad sign
Why can't Ruiz catch the ball anymore?
Where's Ajellis??????
Is Chooch intentionally sabotaging us? Or is it the ghost of AJ Ellis haunting his every start?
They way we're going, I'll get to go to bed at a normal time tonight. yay :(
Chooch has been bullshit so far
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now watch Moore retire the side on eight pitches
Spank, you said it. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO indeed
@Orel with a lot of first-pitch swinging, just to infuriate me
Why can't JT hit lefties?
TIED UP BABY!!!
High RISPappointment situation here
Wow, how did they not throw home on that?
Woohoo!
PUIG'd
Trade value is up!
Rusty Ruiz? Wasn't he the lead roadie for the Flaming Menudos?
What's that number next to the LAD? Looks like a weird plus sign
See what I meant WHAAAAAA
i think Cliffy has the rally thong on.
Dang, thought Chuck did something there. Probably for the best, that may have locked him onto the playoff roster
Kenta!
acceptable
You keep that rally thong on Cliffy!!
Now lets throw a few zeros up on the top of the line score
Cliffy's not even allowed to adjust it
Settle down Kenta
Fuck, really? How the fuck did that happen?
Cliffy get your fingers out of that thong!
Dammitall that makes me mad
that's a wrap for Moore. Blow this game open. Tighten it up,Cliffy!
6-2
Cain time!
hahaha! 8-2! Loving it like some Mickey D's
Seager takes second on defense incompetence
^defensive
Love the story about Yasiel's Win for Vin shoes.
Time to get Kenta outta there.
I love this Toles kid.
Toles is so good! Wow. 9-2 LA, B5
Seems like a dum way to use Urias' innings. Unless Roberts is trying to get JU some low leverage experience out of the bullpen
9-3, mid 5th
Wait what?!? Middle of the 5th?! And it's 12:30EST already. FB ain't making it to this finish line
FBs tipple tonight: Lagunitas 12th of Never Ale
slow game. thought it'd be almost over by now.
Goodnight all. I am counting on you and Cliffy's thong to finish this off as a victory. If we fuck this up and lose, please don't tell me
Stay safe, FB!
Things sped up quite a bit. May get this one done in just over three hours.
Air Raid Adrianza
Crowd chants "Don't look at me!" with two outs in the ninth.
sweeeeeet
Figure it out, Brett!
0-1 good guys, Rockies smacking around Anderson in the second after a great first inning
bad defense by Reddick in right, bad block of a pitch by Grandal
We must be hungover after last night
Anderson with a walk to load the bases with no outs in the second
I am only watching this nonsense because of Vin, been reading Vin articles today and it's been getting a bit dusty in Casa de FB tonight
Shitass former Cardinal with a sac fly, 0-2 mountains
speaking of hangovers, where is the GT?
dammit, Bud Norris could have done that!
this makes the decision to go to bed at a normalish time an easy one
Oh my, that was wonderful. Chase boots a ball but recovers to flip it backwards to get the runner at first, had to be 30 feet away. It actually got Vin excited which was the best part
3-1 perpel, Grandal hit a homer in the 2nd, a nice thing to see since his sore elbow had him slumping
YG finds a hole, AG goes to second with zero outs in the 4th, Spank's second favorite up
Joc about popped the knob off the bat swinging so damn hard.
Then Ks on the next shitty pitch
Someone needs to talk to that dude. He has so many useless at-bats
Howie sure does ground out a lot, he's approaching useless too
Fig, LeMahieu with a homer off a curve
Fug I mean
4!
magic number!
Runs in a Gran Salami!
Earned runs for Anderson in 5 innings!
