Summertime just got a lot less easy (and not just because of Lana Del Rey and the lack of video there).
Two-game series, how I hate thee. Let me count the ways: A momentum-killing sweep at the hands of the Orange County Angels. Another bullpen flameout thanks to Dylan Floro and Joe Kelly. An injury to Corey Seager just as he was getting red-hot (Justin Turner even commented that Seager's hot bat might have actually contributed to the hamstring strain, as Seager had to run more bases lately). And then a full day to stew about the losses (and possibly recuperate). Two-game series suck!
All that, and we start the series off with a Joe Kelly bobblehead that no one wants. As I'm going to Thursday's game, all I can think about is how early I'll have to leave now, to make it to the game (since bobblehead giveaway games are typically shitshows for traffic, but who knows, maybe this one won't have the same draw).
Meanwhile, the Cubs have the second-best record in the league, and (unlike the Dodgers), are making moves to fortify their bullpen. Our bullpen is our achilles this year. Let's see how bad we get exploited against a good team, now that a sub-.500 team has already taken us to town.

7-3 Dodgers 8th inning
Bellinger with two bombs last night on a 3 for 4 night. He might be getting hot again.
My goodness don’t we have to be much much better than the Cubs since we don’t have Carlos Gonzalez on our roster?
Dodgers win Game 2, another comeback win for a 5-3 victory. Hill goes deep into the seventh; Jansen with the save
Game 3
Kenley gives up a two run bomb and the lead in the ninth. Muncy is our last chance.
Muncy walks. Beaty coming up representing the winning run.
Beaty down swinging. Tough loss.
Stolen loss, and Kenley was off tonight—but I can’t feel too bad after two straight comeback victories this series already. Let’s win today.
Game 4: Martin with a RBI here in the bottom of the eighth! 3-2 LA
Cishek being hooked by maddon
Miracle of miracles Jansen is not the same as two years ago. Oh well. It’s good to have a reputation. Still love the guy. Thank God for our great defense, everyone.
VICToRY!
I’ll take it
