Clayton Kershaw vs. Madison Bumgarner Ty Blach
I haven't been able to post anything on this site since Game 7. The wound is still open and man, it still hurts.
But today writes a new page. Today is a new Opening Day, a new baseball season, a new chance to spend the next seven months riding the volatile emotional waves of major league baseball.
I think I'm ready. I hope I'm ready. I'll be there at the Stadium, in any event (post a comment if you want to say hi; I'll be on field level, third base side). SoSG AC and Dusty will be there as well!
The Dodgers open at home against the team with the second-highest payroll in baseball. Do we even stand a chance, pitted against a team with such fiscally excessive spending?
Only Clayton Kershaw stands in the way. We'll see.

Game 1! Let the rollercoaster ride that is the baseball season begin! With a lefty on the mound for the Gnats, I like Hernandez in the cleanup spot.
It’s beautiful out here btw
Good news about a 4p game: my seats will be in the shade
Long time no post, SOGS, it's nice to be back. Hey, I'll take some of that Kemp action. It's a gorgeous day up here in the City, as well.
All of my friends up here are still laughing about their latrine jokes and now the ad about promising to win the WS this season. That was a lame claim to stake out, imo.
Let's see a fair, close, hard-fought nail-biter between Blach & Kersh ;)
sweep the leg,Johnny
I was still having the overwhelming feeling of fear in my gut until the Gibby celebration. I was a little shaky then all of a sudden my eyes were burning with tears and my heart with much nostalgia...and heaven above when I saw that we Vin was included in this great moment I became a blubbery mess. I think that did the trick. No more bad feelings...I AM FINALLY READY TO GO FORWARD!!! LETS KICK SOME GNAT ASS!
Nice DP, time for Kersh to get his first K
Puig steals second but gets stranded.
Everyone sit down and shut up. My guy is up...
Eye on the ball!
0-0 through 2
0-0 through 3
Mrs. Quad said that Pence looks like an ugly Matthew McConaughey.
Solo homer for some gnat. Time to bring out the bats Dodgers!
It was Panik. Bleh.
DAMN!
WHY ARE WE LOSING
Bang the drum
Well that was a sucky game.
Bad guys win, get em tomorrow! G'night.
wack
that Panik HR was my fault. I texted Dusty right at that moment to say Happy Baseball and that happened. The lesson here: there is no Happy Baseball
The real lesson here is the lineup goes in the comments, not in the post.
Taylor CF
Seager SS
Puig RF
Bellinger 1B
Grandal C
Kemp LF
Utley 2B
Forsythe 3B
Wood P
I had the same thought Nomo. Let's see if me posting the lineup can wake up our bats.
CUETO IS PERFECT THROUGH FIVE!
CUETO IS PERFECT THROUGH SIX!
CT3 gets a hit to break it up!
Panik homers off Kenley. We lose 1-0 again.
Taylor CF
Hernandez SS
Puig RF
Kemp LF
Bellinger 1B
Forsythe 2B

The bats have awoken! 5-0 Dodgers after 5.
Correction. After 4.
Still 5-0 at the stretch. Maeda with 10 Ks in 5 innings work.
First win of the season! Team Quad brought the good mojo!
Game 4 ongoing. Dodgers up 5-0 in the sixth. Bellinger with the first homer of the season!
