Monday 9/3 5p: Wood vs. deGrom L, 2-4 Tuesday 9/4 7p: Hill vs. Vargas W, 11-4 Wednesday 9/5 4.30p (?) Ryu vs. Wheeler
Coming off two consecutive 3-2 victories punctuated by two consecutive dramatic hits by Matt Kemp off of two consecutive misplaced pitches by Arizona reliever and pool defender Archie Bradley, the Dodgers now find themselves in first place, over Colorado by a half-game and Arizona by a full game.
That was one hell of a rip-roaring series, as we took three of four from the Diamondbacks, who came to Los Angeles in first place with momentum, and left in third place, battered and bruised.
Tonight's series doesn't start any easier, despite the fact that it's the 61-75 Mets. The opening game starts Jacob deGrom, whose 8-8 record belies his 1.68 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. But it's go time now: 25 games left in this short season. Let's go, Dodgers.
Show me what you got!
UPDATE 9/5: Okay, so we scorched the Mets 11-4 Tuesday night. I'm still pissed off at seeing our 4-2 loss on Monday. And now it seems the Mets only got the win through chicanery and deceit.
The Mets suck.

Holy shit, Dieter just played the opening bars of the Rick and Morty theme song!!! Twice!!!
Puig SB after review
Mets have two on no out, but McNeil GIDPs. Runner on third though o
The fucking lolmets.
That sucked
Jeez that was horrible. Puig's GIDP in the seventh (eighth?) kiiled us.
If that's what we've got, our Dodgers planet is gonna be vaporized
We need a catcher.
Puig starts two-game suspension.
0-0 through 1.
Giants and Rockies tied through 6, 1-1
AZ up 2-0 vs. Padres, End 3
Holy shit, down 4-0 and now we are back in front 5-4
6-4 on the Turner and Machado leadoff doubles in the bottom of the seventh.
Machado scores on a two-base wild pitch! 7-4, no out, B7
Freese doubles in a run! 8-4 LA, no outs, still B7
11-4 Dodgers, end 7
Fields has bases juiced, none out. Come on, Dodgers.
Still 11-4, but suddenly looking shaky with Josh Fields on the mound
Top 9 btw
I love it. Venditte replaces Fields.
Venditte pitches left-handed, gets McNeil to pop to second. One out.
Venditte pitches right-handed, Ks Reyes on four pitches.
Venditte goes back to pitching left-handed. Conforto flies to right.
Ball game.

I’m planning to be out there for the weirdly-timed get-away day game. Anyone else?
Is the game at 4.30am or 4.30pm?
I can’t make either one
Actually, maybe I can make the latter, but late.
@Sax
I think Barnes read your comment before yesterday's game. 2 run HR in his first at bat.
@Quad: nice
Updated post to link to Todd Frazier's deceit in Monday night's loss.

The fans in that first row are fired! They should have been yelling at the umps!

@Orel 5:31p: Yep, Grandal had the ball but the Met dude dislodged it...but yes, I think Grandal should have done a better job on defense.
3-2 NYM through four full.
We look like idiots here in the field in the 5th.
Verdugo drops a routine fly ball in right.
Hernandez has a third out bounce off his glove in short left.
LA now losing 2-5
Mercifully, that inning is over. 5-2 Mets, B5.

And, we lose to the Mets. We drop the series.
We suck.
