Four-game series with the Diamondbacks kicks off tonight in true form, with Friday Night Fireworks Sponsored by Denny's, set to the music of Billy Joel! Oh, and there are these two familiar guys who used to play on the same team, now squaring off against each other. I suppose that's interesting as well.
Saturday involves the unveiling of our Jackie Robinson statue (complete with replicas given away at the Stadium); Sunday gives away a Kenta Maeda fathead, and Monday doesn't offer anything except the best starting pitcher on the Dodgers so far (statistically speaking, of course). Somewhere in there, it would be nice to end the series back above .500. But that goal seems awful slippery when playing with these 7-3 snakes.
Friday: Clayton Kershaw (1-1, 3.46) vs. Zack Greinke (1-0, 2.31), 7p
DODGERS 7, DIAMONDBACKS 1
Saturday: Kenta Maeda (1-1, 6.30) vs. Patrick Corbin (1-1, 1.80), 6p
DODGERS 8, DIAMONDBACKS 4. Happy Jackie Robinson Day!
Sunday: Rich Hill vs. Tajuan Walker (1-1, 4.91), 1p
DIAMONDBACKS 3, DODGERS 1. Blistered.
Monday: Brandon McCarthy (2-0, 1.50) vs. Robbie Ray (1-0, 2.19), 7p
DIAMONDBACKS 4, DODGERS 2

Loud outs everywhere. I hope Zach gives us more chances.
Dodgers' first hit is a Grandal single in the 2nd
RANCHO ARDIENDO

Hey, that's not the usual GIDP!
Keep the runners moving!
I wouldn't say I reallly have any Greinke grudge, but I do enjoy when we light him up.
4 consecutive singles makes it 2-0 Dodgers
Make that 4-0!
Just pulled the double-fat-ass combo of baking, then eating all the overage immediately. Can't go wasting perfectly good dough.
Mmmm...overage
Well, might as well wash it down with a beer at this point.
Toles with the 8th-inning insurance 2-run homer. 7-0 Dodgers
WIN
Off to a nice start tonight! 1-0 Blue before the first out.
Sac fly for Puig. 2-0 Dodgers!
D'backs battle back. Dodgers battle back. 4-4 in the 5th

Another Dodger pitcher can't go 5
Wood in for Maeda

Series in pocket. Won't complain if it's a sweep, though.

If Rich Hill follows a 1 start then 10 day DL sequence the rest of the season, how many starts would he get in?
Two? Because he just walked a run in with the bases loaded in the 3rd
Also epale FB!
welp
Headed to the yard tonight to try to end this weird-ass wraparound series on a high note.

GODDAMMIT JUST WAIT UNTIL THERE IS ZERO BLISTER ON HIS HAND THIS TIME
Is zero blister even possible?
Thank god for buffoonish base running
Bases loaded sac fly for Logan and we're up 1-0.
Great Vin origin story being told by Joe Davis. I hadn't heard it before.
This is the moment Joe Davis became President.
Another pitcher who can't go past 5
I had to hurry up and jump on the McCarthy train just so I could jump off of it.
Why is Orel (not SoSG Orel) so fixated on the Pasadena freeway (110) ?
Weak fookin' sauce.
We are losing and it's still the 1st inning.
