Clayton Kershaw (18-4, 2.31) vs.
(cries)
This still feels strange. Good strange, but strange.
(cries some more)
The Dodgers are in the World Series for the first time in twenty-nine years. It feels like even longer. Though only around for a fraction of that span, this entire blog's existence has been filled with year after year of Dodger failure. This year isn't over yet, but it's already tangibly better than any before it.
And what of the Dodgers' opponent, the Astros? I think SoSG Stubbs said it best in our group text last night:
It's not like the Astros are some dark-horse. This is the two best teams over the majority of the season squaring off and it's just however the dice fall from here on out.
Way to be zen about it, Stubbsy. But if you're not as zen as Stubbs right now, that's fine too. That's the best part of all of this. We can be nervous, or excited, or FREAKED THE HELL OUT and it's all OK, because the Dodgers finally made it back where they belong.
(crying intensifies)
Corey Seager is back. It's Kershaw Day. It's the WORLD FREAKING SERIES and the Dodgers are in it.
#ThisTeam is ready. The Sons are ready. (Three of us will be there in person tonight.)
Are YOU ready?
(crying consumes everything)
UPDATE (3:00p): Sax and Orel have arrived. Shit is officially ON.

I have never been so excited and so freaked out at the same time. Bouts of tears cycling with off and on puking officially started at 9:30 this AM.. Not sure I'm going to survive.
A good mix of excited and nervous here. I'm ready for this game to start!
The pregame ceremonies have begun!
HANG IN THERE, KAREN!
Granderson off WS roster.
We love ya Curtis. But this is the right decision.
Cheapest ticket on StubHub now is $577.50. So close to what I was (stupidly) willing to pay. Fighting the urge to just fly down to L.A. tomorrow and wait until the last minute for the price to go down. I don't need to pay my mortgage, right?

Did Puig shave the Diamondbacks logo in his head?
Puig's design is a mouth and tongue sticking out I think.

Kershaw strikes out Springer to start the game.
1-2-3 inning for Kershaw.
noice first inning by Clay.

CT3!!! First pitch bomb!!
Leadoff home run = rally killer
Don't know what the red was on the side of Yasiel's head but his mohawk is definetly Dodger Blue.
CHRIS TAYLOR YOU FUCKING STUD
That was a goddamn BOMB.
CT3!!!!!!
What time's the game start.
Oh shit 8pm EDT?
Just checked who's in on this thread. It's a MUTHA effing reunion.
I brought 7 layer dip.
Another easy inning for Kershaw.
Beer check - Dales Pale Ale
I was so excited for the game, I forgot my beer! Newcastle coming up.
Wasting pitches on the pitcher trying to bunt? Frustrating
Another K, not so much
Love that Beethoven's 5th.
KKKKKershaw!
just gotta say why the fuck would you wear an Ethier jersey in public or private?
Ha! Buddy of mine came in with a #16 jersey today. Name on the back???
Nomo. Now back to this one.
It’s still 99 degrees out here
Dammit. Tie game.
@Sax 5:59pm So that's why Deiter was playing 99 Red Balloons.
I walk away for a minute and come back to a fucked armpit.
Reddick goes down looking on a sidearm fastball to end the inning.
Ron, was it me? I’m wearing my namesake.
Nope, but good for you, Nomes.
Just realized I was posting under my work name.
Back to incognito. . .
Third double play for Houston. This is not the way to run up Keuchal's pitch count.
THIS IS TENSE.
I hate double plays!
OK, better. But I do like the pic I have for my avi on the other account.
Three GIDPs in five innings. Come on, guys. We need to drive up the pitch count
This is tense.
Quad, you and i are locked in tonight
Dodger Royalty in the house...Vin, Tommy and Sandy.....and Magic, not sure he makes the cut though.
Great minds think alike Sax.
playing guitar while watching the game helps ease the tension.
Magic may not be Dodgers royalty Karen but he is LA sports royalty. #1 without a doubt. respect.
Taylor works a walk. Turner coming up.
Turner changed to a black bat for this plate appearance.
Ginger Jesus Saves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's fun to score runs. With 2 outs no less
It's the hair.
It's got to be the hair
Turner should have limped around the bases to give it some flair
Sunday bloody Sunday. On Tuesday
Runs!!!!
that homerun was rad
Here comes the seventh. Shut them down, Clayton.
Spanky....Absolutely royalty for the Lakers...remember him and Larry Byrd??? I'm just saying his Dodger legacy is still a story to play out.
Kershaw with 7 strong innings. I love it. 3-1 in the bottom of the 7th.
Good to see Josh Red dick get some from the Dodger fans.
I need a beer
Morrow with a clean 8th.
Like the way CT3 is banging the ball right now.
@Delino come over I got a full fridge
Kenley in. No Dodger fans have left the stadium.
Press take note.
Kenleyfornia love!
2 down for Kenley!
World Series game 1 win!!
3 to go
Randy Newman never sounded so sweet
But that Puig tongue will haunt my dreams
It wasn't quite Kirk rounding the bases but itll do.
Goodnight Sons
Goodnight SOSG-maniacs
Good night moon
Goodnight cow jumping over the moon
Making party! A pull of the Tullamore Dew.

Well played, Erin. Feeling the spirit of '11. Or was it '10?

I'm thinking '09-ish.
