The Mookie Betts-infused Dodgers passed their Opening Day game with flying colors, defeating both the San Francisco Giants as well as the Johnny Cueto Fan Club of ESPN broadcasters (little mention was made of Dustin May's Opening Day spot start (4.1 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 Ks). Screw them. Now we're back to Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser to call the game appropriately.
Got off to a slow start yesterday but the offense came alive off the Giants' bullpen, and were helped further by some poor Giants baserunning and missed fielding opportunities (all of this, on national television). Let's keep this up this weekend.

Dodgers leave the bases loaded in the 1st, what a shock
Chicken Strip is hitting 94 with a nice change up. I love it!
On my couch, wearing a mask, and not socially distanced from my beer, Vinny!
Hiya, Cliffy!
Quad: Maybe Strip is better suited to a short season?
Hiya, Orel! Hello, everyone! We got Mookie, mofos! Let's get this World Series!
JT RBI makes it 2-0!
Damn straight Cliffy!
JT! Nice hit
I hope everyone is better suited for this shorter season. Let’s get that ring!
And just like that, Strip gives up a solo shot. 2-1.
Strip gives up the solo dong
Pablo looks even bigger than before. Is that possible?
I don't like this Clayton Kershaw commercial ESPN keeps playing of him driving the different cars to catch a line drive. I don't care if he catches the ball, it's still a dang homerun...which means he probably gave it up during a critical playoff game. No, I'm not bitter, YOU'RE BITTER!
@Quad
It’ll take a few billion years, but he will only finally dissipate through emitting Hawking radiation
JT RBI #2!
Justin Turner coming through again
The crowd noise levels are much better tonight than last night.
JT makes it 3-1, scoring muncy in the second consecutive double
Hey do you guys have real commercials? I have a “we’ll be back after this commercial break” screen.
Not sure if that is because of At&T now or because of spectrum
Ooh, Alanna interviewing David Price from home
Holy shit this is a long interview from Alanna! Is Joe Davis stuck on the shitter or something?
“So David, how do you feel about man in the state of nature? Do you agree with John Locke?”
I saw 2 seconds of that ampm commercial and then it cut away. No Toomgus for Sax
Oh man, Panda’s ass nearly ate CT3 right there.
Flying Panda vs. CT3
Holy shit Panda just sat on Taylor. That is cruel and inhumane
I’m surprised Panda’s belt didn’t explode again right there
Dieter with When I Come Around
Will Smith with a sac fly RBI. 4-1 LA
Taylor SB!
Wait, maybe not
Taylor SOB
Overturned. Taylor is out.
4-1 through 5
Why is Sandovol even bothering with the mask if he's just gonna wear it on his chin? Is he just hiding his second and third chins?
Pablo GIDPs
@Cliff, I don’t see anything lasting long near Pablo’s mouth
@Sax, a good point
What’s with the stupid giants catcher stance
Mookie is 0-for-4. When can we dump this guy
Muncy with another HR!!!
Muncy says go get it out of the parking lot!
Muncy on pace for 60 HR this season
Win!

BASEBALL!! So glad we get a season, such as it is.
Betts leaves them loaded in the bottom of the second. 2-1 Gnats in the third.
Wood looking shaky in his first start. Gives up a solo bomb. 3-1 now.
Alex Wood looks awful
Thankfully, Wood is pulled. Santana in now to pitch.
We are running ourselves out of innings. Second double play against us in two innings. 5-1 going to the fifth.
Barnes with a leadoff single and we’re into the pen.
And a third double play against us to end the fifth.
Going to the 8th. Still down 5-1.
Corey works back from an 0-2 count (and a horrible swing on strike two) to hit a two-out 2-RBI single. 5-3, SF pitching change.
Taylor sneaks one in the hole, grabs a single and advances Seager to third. Still two out
Joc gets HBP on the first pitch. And here is Kiké
Hernandez down 0-2 quickly
Hernandez grounds to second.
Late but...HI KAREN!
The winning streak is over.
We cannot go 60-0.

Giants go with Drew Smyly
Bellinger ties it up! 1-1
1-1 through 3.5
Smyly gets Corey for the first out of the fourth but is yanked.
Urias in trouble in the fifth. Two on, none out. He doesn’t look good either
3-pitch K and a GIDP gets Julio out of it. Wow
Giants take a 2-1 lead
Dodgers down 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth. Doesn’t feel good
How the hell are we losing this game
We're making some noise in the 8th....Probably setting up another one-run loss
RANCHO ARDIENDO
Our LOB total for this series is ridiculous.
Kike grounds to third and ends the rally. Still down 3-1 through eight.
You'll never guess what happened
DAMMIT
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Pollock...doubles???
Mookie does not save the day
Muncy does not save the day
I'm still angry, a day later
Every loss to a crappy team hurts 2.7 times more than normal.
