Rich Hill vs Max Scherzer.
- Rally thong? Check.
- High hopes? Check.
- Scared to death? Check.
After Game 1, the thought of a Game 5 would have been ridiculous. After Game 4, it's the high point of our season. Clayton Kershaw's gutty performance on Tuesday paved the way for Rich Hill, who has never started a game on three days' rest hasn't pitched on three days' rest since 2009. Julio Urias stands in the wings, ready to step in should Hill falter.
In a season (and post-season) filled with ups and downs, who knows where today's game will leave us. Riding high in September, shot down in October? Or celebrating into the rest of this month? Whichever it is, it's always better sharing it with fellow Dodger fans like you!

I'm all tense, but I just want it to be 5:00 already.
I am freaking out right now.
tummy very squishy.
HERE WE GO
Nothing doing for the Dodger bats in the 1st
First Nats batter hits Hill on the wrist. First batter of the game.
Curve seems to be working
1-2-3 1st for Rit Chill!
This is like giving birth...excited...painful...intense and scary.
...at least my legs aren't up in stir ups.
We're going to take your word for all that, Karen
Yeah, I'll take that one for the team...
Andy McCullough @McCulloughTimes 32s
The Dodgers are having decent at-bats against Scherzer, and generating hard contact. He also has retired all six hitters thus far.

Dodger exit velocities through 2 innings: 96, 88, 100, 96, K, 107.
1-0 Nats in the 2nd, one out
Lobaton strikes out. Round one to Hill.
Hill gets a makeup call for the K on Scherzer.
Got out of that inning cheaply enough
Grandal works a four-pitch walk
Scherzer can't find the plate now.
Of course.
Toles GIDP
meh. doomed by the GT pic.
Blanton in with two out in the 3rd
And he escapes!
Great AB by Turner with two out. Making Scherzer throw a lot of pitches
Dodgers have a case of the scherz. No relief in sight...
And AGon strikes out to end the "threat"
BASE HITS!!! TWO OF EM!!!
Back-to-back singles to start the 5th!
DAMMIT
RANCHO ARDIENDO
Damn you Ethier!
Vindicated. who's with me? FUCK ETHIER!!!
Well, who else do you want up but Utley
Julio in the schoolyard
Urias #Legit
Turner just missing. Scherzer is rocking our bats to sleep with that change up.
AGon with a two out single.
Great timing there
inside curveball would have sufficed after that high fastball
Werth was toast! Nice job Toles!
Toles guns down Werth by a mile at the plate!
Joc!!
JOC MY MAN!!!!
Culberson can't get the bunt down
Come on JT!
Chooch with the go-ahead RBI by the way
OH YEAH JT! 4-1 Dodgers!
Yes!!!
haha. looks like the Nats pitcher's trump got hurt after that triple by JT
Superstition Baby. Don't anyone move!!!!
Great inning! Loved seeing the whole team fired up.
Fuck! Why do we keep going up in the zone? Ridiculous!
and just like that
Still sticking with this guy?
Finally pulling him.
Two batters late Roberts.
. Which manager wants to lose this more
KJ hasn't pitched more than 2 innings ever.
Kenley is unsharp
I'm sweating and my stomach hurts.
I'm hurting and my stomach sweats.
YESSSSSSS

I think I broke my hand.
No Geico in the 8th
THrowing up a lot in my mouth
Kenley: two scoreless
Kershaw walking to the bullpen
Kershaw warming up in the pen!? Holy shitballs!
We are witnessing history.
Kenley still out there. Kershaw must be getting ready for Harper.
ONE DOWN
Breathe.
Guess not. KJ still going.
This is too much.
Kenley walks two. Kershaw in to face Murphy
Here we go boys and girls!
Throwing up in my mouth, swallowing it, then throwing up again and swallowing that. Why, Baseball Gods, why???
Two down!
TWO DOWN
I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!
This is a heart attack on a plate
Wow!!
FUCK YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS

Hey that means we won!
We are now living in an alternate universe.

Holy crap I am spent. What an insane game. Go blue!!
Hey, guys. Was there a game tonight? :)
I can start breathing again.
Hope you were wearing the rally thong, Cliffy!
