Stay strong. Don't cry. *cries*
This is it, you guys. The final three games with this legendary voice bringing us the pure poetry of baseball. Last weekend was our farewell to him, this weekend is Vin's farewell to us. It is sure to be magnificent.
Beyond the emotion of Vin's final call, the actual games in this series are not entirely devoid of intrigue. The division is wrapped up, but the Dodgers still have a very slim chance to overtake the Nationals for home field advantage in the NLDS. More importantly though, they can play the role of spoiler for the Giants, knocking them out of the 2nd Wild Card spot (with some assistance from...*sigh*...the Cardinals).
Pull up a chair...
9/30, 7:15p: Rich Hill vs. Ashley Madison
10/1, 1p: Clayton Kershaw vs. TBD Ty Blach
10/2, 12p: Kenta Maeda vs. TBD (on no days rest) Matt Moore

Damn you gnomes. All it took was Vin and that freaking beautiful rainbow and I'm a crying, slobbering mess.
This is it Blue Family. Let's do Vinny proud....

On the sofa, Vinny!
Puig doubles in Night Moves. 1-0 Fuck The Gnats!
That redneck is already down 2-0. Don't look at the scoreboard, asshole Bum!
Hill is...not looking good.
Well shit Kike.
Kiké was safe by a mile but recklessly slid. Slide like three first downs past the bag. Focus, Blue. Focus.
KeyKay done fucked up.
This one already smells like an old turd.
OK boys, get all your fuckwadery out now. This nonsense will be unacceptable after this weekend
You means us, or the team, FB?
Beanball time
Stanford laying a big ole egg against Washington.
When is it NOT beanball time?
@ Dusty
No shit and especially against the Gnats.. I'm off my GT game.
@Spank
It's still early. You can turn it around.
(hates)
@DB, I meant the team, we're more about the dipshittery, and we actually need more of that
Puig's on base again. I hope he fucks with Muttgarner.
(looks)
FB way tired, may need an 11:30 pm coffee to get through this
Holy shit Puig! Wow.
Just Puig'n
Oof, Hill slangin meatballs tonight. He's gonna be at his 60 pitches this inning
Maybe 1 more inning for Hill
Is that a naked Neeebs out on the field?
We're never gonna score again with this lineup
Louis Skolnick batting for the Gnats.
Hehe good call Spank
Hill falls apart this inning
Can't get Belt out tonight
Fuck off Oyster Pubes and sit the fuck down.
I don't trust ANY of the Dodgers pitchers going into the playoffs. It's going to be interesting what they do and how I react.
Glad to see Chooch finding his way
KIKEACCENT!
@spank, I am nervous about the pitching too. I am scared of Clayton's back melting into goop, Hill remembering he was trash just 2 years ago, Maeda being tired and our bullpen remembering they are Blanton and Baez and the rest.
Throw strikes, Brandon
And call them when they Steve thrown, blue
Steve? Are
Autocorrect be trippin
Shit. McCarthy blowing balls. Sack up,holmes.
haha. Steve ain't even close to are.
Bean this Waldo looking mofo!
Fuck you Skolnick
Fuck, McCarthy pitching like he wants to watch the playoffs from home
I think the Dodgers only pitch good when I don't watch the games because this is crap.
GODDAMNIT
He ain't fooling any of these scrubs
Godfuckingdamnit
McCarthy just sealed his playoffs fate. Not good.
No out still.
Vin I love you but I can't watch any more of this
I NEED BOOZE.
Not watching the game. Was Dave asleep while McCarthy was burning the place down and handing the Gnats a playoff spot?
That's a wrap. I'm outta here.
OH FFS
pretty much,Gnomes
My confidence in our pitching staff for the playoffs is 0 percent.
Less than zero. I have reverse confidence in the pitching.

Seager SS

González 1B
Grandal C
Pederson CF
Utley 2B
Kershaw P
Mets win, with some help from Free James Loney
Cards up 4-3 in the burgh in 8
Cards win.
Gotta love October baseball!
Kershaw gives up his first hit in the 4th. Still no score
I HATE DIABLO PAGEN
I know we've already clinched but these games are, let's say, not a confidence-booster
No, they are not. Last night was torture.
Geez. That inning had me nervous.
shitdamnfuck
Wheels falling off. 3-0 Giants and you can bet Bochy is going to get Blach at least through 8 innings
Yay, i love a Mattingly-style shit streak to finish the season
Well said FB.
I hate that we are potentially giving them even an ounce of confidence going into the playoffs
WELL THAT SUCKED
Cut the shit!
gonna watch the Rams. Dodgers nowhere on the tube so i say bye Vinny. That's a wrap.
(skeptical emoji)

This is it.
Don't think I'm ready.
Dodgers still aren't ready
Agree.
(Original Orel) quoted Vin who was quoting Dr. Seuss at dinner last night..."Don't be sad because it's over. Smile because happened".
Doing my best Vinny.
*it
Circus catch to retire Utley. Still no hits for us going to th bottom of the third.
Time to crack a beer. Maybe it will change our luck.
Lose for Vin!
Get swept for Vin!
Disappoint everyone at Vin's last game ever for Vin!
I'm calling the beer lucky. Giants didn't score and we now have two guys on base.
Yaz with the 2 out RBI and we are on the board!
Joc flys out to deep center to end the threat.
Huh....some class coming from frisco way.
Huh.
Don't get shutout for Vin!
Really happy to see YungJoc packing his posse today..Bro Champ and Blue his new puppy.
Bullpen getting a workout today. Everyone is getting into this game.
The production crew throwing a curve at Vinny on his last day. He forgot that he was doing the whole game on the radio.
FB with some major snarkage.
5-1 Gnats going to the bottom of the 8th.
As SoSG Sax would say, the Dodgers are sharp as a marble right now
Puig showed that by booting a line drive single in left.
Joc diving awkwardly nearly takes himself off the playoff roster.
Good night Vinny....
"I have said enough for a lifetime. And for the last time, I wish you all a very pleasant good afternoon." —Vin
Great message from Vin.
"This is Vin Scully, wishing you a very pleasant good afternoon, wherever you may be."
I missed the game but i am getting choked up just reading that
Thank you, Vin
