These fuckin assholes again.
Thanks Orel for the post; UPDATE from Sax (6:37p):
Well, last night was the first time I'd been to the stadium in a long time, and it was really cathartic to be there for that 21-5 explosion over the Brewers. I'd been filled with hangover dread for a lot of this season, having gone to a number of games early on (when we were falling nine back of the NL West lead), and the team looked like it hadn't yet overcome that bitter World Series loss from last year. Neither had I, for that matter.
Last night, for me, set the Dodgers rejuvenated. Not only did we re-take the division lead and now sit a game ahead of Arizona and two games ahead of Colorado, in first place--but the trade deadline moves to pick up Manny Machado (what an arm!) and Brian Dozier (two HR in three games now ties the season output from his successor, Logan Forsythe), but it was a full beatdown of a decent team vying for the lead in its own division. We made the Brewers look like chumps last night, Christian Yelich and his hometown fan club (who sat a couple levels up, behind me) notwithstanding (local boy Yelich was pretty great last night, to be fair).
And here come the Astros again, still playing with racist idiots, but now recently fortified with a player suspended by the league for an alleged domestic violence incident. This, from an organization that earlier cited its "zero-tolerance" policy on domestic violence. Uh huh.
Tough day to be an Astros fan. Maybe donate $ to a local women’s shelter for every Osuna strikeout. I don’t know what to say. It sucks.

The Astros are worthy of your hate. Let's hope we didn't use all of our offense in Thursday's game.

I hope we sweep these A-holes!
Guriel greeted loudly with boos by the Dodger faithful. Love it!
Joc!!
2nd night in a row with a leadoff bomb for Joc!
Wood doesn't look sharp. 2 walks through two, and we're down 2-1.
Cody’s error in center didn’t help us. That’s why we are down 2-1
Where is the goddamn offense here
CT3 leads off the 8th with a single.
And we strand him. Dammit!
Last of the ninth. Still down by one.
Shit! Lost.
Ugh. I hate Houston.
Pretty poor showing by the bats Friday, but to be fair it was Verlander and his 14 Ks. Let's go guys.

Taylor CF
Machado SS
Turner 3B
Kemp LF
Dozier 2B
Puig RF

Down 1-0 through 5.
We can’t score.
Strikeouts galore yesterday and today.
CT3 misplays a liner to center. Part of a 4 run inning for the Ass-tros.
My god we are horrible against houston
Axford is not making a good first impression.
Well, I guess this answers the question, have we upgraded enough to beat the Astros.
Nope.
I still hate Reddick.

Grandal C
Bellinger CF
Dozier 2B

Springer hit Buehler's first pitch a long ways, but the Dodgers score 2 in the bottom half to take the lead. 2-1 still in the first.
Yaz throws out Springer trying to steal. Springer may have broken a finger being tagged out too. He's leaving the game.
Bellinger with an RBI double in the third. 3-1 boys in blue.
Buehler gets out of a jam in the 4th with two big strikeouts! 3-1 going to the bottom of the fourth.
Buehler gives up a solo shot in the fifth. 3-2 Dodgers.
One out double for Machado!
Buehler pulled in the sixth with two men on. Floro comes in a gets a GIDP to finish the inning.
3-2 LA, heading to the ninth. Wow.
WIN!!!!!
Damn, we needed that
First place again!
Woohoo!
