Clayton Kershaw vs. Gio Gonzalez
The Dodgers are back in the NLCS for the third(!) year in a row. This will be a very difficult series for us here at SoSG. Is it because we still don't have 100% faith in the swing for the fences offense? Is it because the Dodgers reversed the Kershaw Game 1, Ryu Game 2 rotation that worked so well in the NLDS? Is it because the Brewers have such a formidable bullpen? Is it because the Dodgers have a chance to go back to the World Series and our hearts are still fragile from last year?
All those are things to worry about, sure, but the most important reason the Sons are concerned about this series is having to root against one of our oldest and dearest friends...BEER. OK, Miller beer specifically, but it hurts our souls to disparage any beer. (Even though "I like beer!" has become a real shitty take. THANKS, BRETT.) And beer brewers are our personal heroes.
But it's the Dodgers. And history is on the line. There are lots of other beers in the taps. (We'll need them all.) So, we officially kick Miller and all Milwaukee-adjacent beers to the curb.
GO BLUE!

I wore a Kemp jersey to work today. I'm expecting big things!
LET'S DO THIS, PLEASE
Great GT Gnomes!
Go Blue!!! Beer check - Sierra Nevada Octoberfest.
Great GT. Fragile Hearts... sob... I just recently started feeling whole again after last year’s WS game 5.
Game 7 for me was the heart-ripper-outer
Dodgers go 1-2-3 in the 1st and Joe Buck is ready to move to Milwaukee
I hateHateHATE Joe Buck.
Yellich is battling Kershaw.
That took too many pitches but can't argue with the result
Big strikeout for Kershaw who wins the battle.
Manny two clean defensive chances in the 1st. Scoreless after 1
Machado!!!
MANNY I ALWAYS BELIEVED
That was a sweeeeeeeet swing!
DAMN Belli gave it a ride
Cody almost hit it out. Damn!
Kersh has a lead going to the bottom of the second. 1-0
Clean 2nd (one hit). Headed to the 3rd
Two out single but nothing more against Kershaw. Brewers had someone up in the pen already.
Brewers starter only goes two. Dodgers down quietly in the third.
Looks like Doc will bat Muncy in the 4th, burning Freese
WTF!?
ugh
Yaz is terrible behind the plate tonight.
Yaz is terrible behind the plate tonight...again.
Grandal is Yas'ing it up. 2 PB, 1 CI
And an error on a throw to home.
Grandal owes us a 3 run bomb.
Muncy down on three pitches.
Muncy Ks on 3 pitches
DAMMIT
Finally I got ya!
Gonna need a quick inning from Kershaw here.
Shit. I need beer.
Tonight's battery has been...lacking
Our defense is lacking too.
Yeah, an error by Taylor makes it, what, 7 mistakes so far?
We have got to get some hits tonight.
Team that scores first is 14-2 in these playoffs...
Home teams have done pretty good too.
Brian "White Flag" Dozier bats to open the 6th
Hey! We got a hit!
Followed by two strikeouts. Ugh.
Hader reminds me of Randy Johnson. Same stuff, same hair, same bad complexion.
I got a bad feeling about this fellas
Kemp single with one out in the 7th. Certainly this will be the beginning of a huge rally!
Don't quite understand by Counsell is making Hader throw so many pitches but I'll take it
Orel, let him throw as many pitches as he wants. That’s Docs strategy, wear out the pen in game uno
Getting some hits would help wear out the bullpen. I’m just saying.
Urias gives up a dinger
ALERT: GRANDAL CAUGHT A FOUL BALL. REPEAT GRANDAL DID NOT COMMIT AN ERROR
And he leads off the 8th with a single.
Two on and one out for Turner.
Turner called third strike was crap.
Rancho ardiendo for Machado. Jeffress coming in.
RANCHO ARDIENDO
DAMMIT
Manny with 2 more RBIs! 6-3 now with two on for Kemp.
Hmmmmmm
Yes! Kemp with an RBI! 6-4! Let’s keep it going!
To quote Sax: Weak sauce, Puig
Puig down swinging. 6-4 going to the bottom of the 8th.
Maeda gets a generous call for the first out of the bottom of the 8th.
Turner with an error now. 4 tonight for the Dodgers.
4-6-3. Last licks.
Last call, folks!
Bellinger with an infield single! That was close!
Doosan? Mitel?
Shit. Reviewed. Out.
ugh
Yaz with a strikeout. Fitting.
Grandal cost us this game.
Joc woc
Joc walks. Amazing.
Kershaw cost us this game too
CT3 with an RBI triple!
We're going to lose by one aren't we
Dammit! Loss.
I blame Yaz all the way.
Kersh & Yaz, CO-LVPs
Can we please get a catcher who can catch the ball
Trade for Russell Martin!
