Series Thread (Games 35-36): 5/8-9 vs Snakes


Tues, 7p: Rich Hill vs Zack Godley ARI 8, LAD 5
Wed, 7p: Alex Wood vs Patrick Corbin LAD 6, ARI 3

Like the Offspring says you gotta kick him when he's down — and the fourth-place Dodgers (15-19) are definitely down:

And since the first-place Snakes (23-11) are trending up, this two-game series promises to be uggggggly.

And we promise to bitch and moan about it! Join the (crying) in the comments section!

Kemp with an RBI single! We're still down 2-1. (Cries)

QuadSevens said...

Top of the third and Hill gives up his second homer. 3-1 D-Backs.

QuadSevens said...

Shaggy in to pitch for us now. 5-2 in the fifth.

QuadSevens said...

No idea what happens because my MIL wanted to watch Roseanne. (cries)

QuadSevens said...

happened*

(cries)

Orel said...

Dodgers battle back to make it 5-4 but of course strand two in the 5th

Orel said...

Even though we'll lose this game, Matty's rebirth has been a pleasure to behold. He smacks a one-out double in the 9th.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Taking a break from homework to see what the Dodgers can do against ol' Bob Boxbody.

QuadSevens said...

Kiké!

QuadSevens said...

Tie game on the solo bomb!

I’m feeling a Bellibomb here... Let’s see

Johnny Blanchard said...

Belli has a sunburned nose

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Squib singles are good too

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

I’m feeling a Bison blast here...

Johnny Blanchard said...

lol Kyle Farmer hasn't played catcher all year and throws a ball down to second to nail a dude... bounced it sure, but he's slightly better than me

Johnny Blanchard said...

DBT--I think you have gas

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

JB - I just like flatulent sounding adverbs when describing game winning homers. That’s all.

Orel said...

Could we strand more men?

Orel said...

ugh

Johnny Blanchard said...

Good job men. Unfortunately the Diamondbacks' cheating was more effective than usual. But we have our gentlemanly club life.

Steve Sax said...

Hey we are better than the Marlins, Reds, and Padres in the NL.

And that's it.

QuadSevens said...

The Mets batted out of order today in the 1st inning. At least we haven't done that yet.

(cries)

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Well I suppose there is that, Q...

We're better than the Marlins, Reds, Padres, and our guys bat in their designated lineup spot. Dodgers should put that on the website banner.

Steve Sax said...

And we have a nice personality.

Steve Sax said...

Maybe we can change the slogan “LA DETERMINED” to “LA: NICE PERSONALITY”

GAME 2
Taylor SS
Hernández CF
Kemp LF
Grandal C
Bellinger 1B
Barnes 2B
Puig RF
Farmer 3B
Wood P

Orel said...

Corbin has a no-hitter thru 3 huh

Steve Sax said...

1-1 tie, Enrique comes up with the bases loaded and he flies out to short center for the second out. Not good, Kike

Steve Sax said...

B5, 2-0 count to Kemp with the bases loaded and two out

Steve Sax said...

3-0 count!

Steve Sax said...

And, Kemp blows the opportunity with a ground out to third.

We fucking SUCK

Orel said...

Six men LOB in the last two innings. Only run scored on a WP. THIS IS DODGER BASEBALL

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Dodgers aren’t losing!!!

Steve Sax said...

Kike Hernandez is fucking horrible tonight. Misplayed the Ahmed ball in the first, granting Nick Ahmed an inside-the-park HR. And just struck out to strand two more, raising his total this game to 7 LOB.

Steve Sax said...

Barnes with a lead off walk, then Puig single. First and second, none out, B8 with the Dodgers up 4-3.

Score a fucking run here, Dodgers!

Steve Sax said...

Farmer down on strikes for out #1. Here's PH Utley

Steve Sax said...

Utley DELIVERS!

Steve Sax said...

Utley double to center scores two! 6-3 LA. Wow, go Utley!

Steve Sax said...

Dodgers now advance to a torrid 2-for-10 with RISP.

Utley's first hit against LHP this year

Steve Sax said...

Taylor flies to center, Utley gets over to third. Here's tonight's whipping boy, Kike: 0-for-4 and batting .218

Steve Sax said...

Kike doesn't strike out! He flies to left instead and is now 0-for-5.

6-3 LA through 8. KJ coming in

Steve Sax said...

DODGERS WIN!

ORDER IS RESTORED!

Only eight back! Only four games below .500!

(cries)

QuadSevens said...

Kike was showing his frustration in the dugout last night. We need to get his parents out to a game soon.
