Mon, 6:30p: Walker Buehler vs Luke Weaver
Tues, 6:30p: Clayton Kershaw vs Taylor Clarke
Wed, 6:30p: Dustin May vs Madison Bumgarner
The invincible Dodgers have been felled, at least temporarily, by the sub-.500 Rockies. Colorado's series win marks the first series the Dodgers have dropped this season. Fortunately, providence has us visiting the hapless Snakes after we swept them at home last week. Can the $220 million-payroll Dodgers repeat the feat? Or will Madison Bumgarner dig deep and find his Dodger-killing form in a rare bright spot for the Diamondbacks?

Just catching up with this comment from Karen, which is gold:
In the interest of transparency I feel the need to say I love Elvis Presley. Always have. Always will. As our house MKW I have to mention that seeing my man Matty and those cheeks he's packing I'm having some painful memories of the first time I saw fat Elvis. (Sorry El).
Someone added lard to the Mattycakes recipe
^haha
The bad, blistery Buehler showed up
RANCHO ARDIENDO down 3 in the 5th
RANCHO ARDIENDO tied at 6 in the 8th
End 8, tied at 6. holy smokes
@karen, and everyone else
I've been to graceland twice. I appreciate Elvis as well. Good stuff there
I gotta say, I like the light blue color addition to the D-backs' uniforms.
Pollock Ks with RISP. on to the bottom of the 9th, 6-6
Okay, going to the NYT crossword
i don't know what the hell just happened there but the d'backs runner stole second, took third on the missed catch at second by seager, and then decided to try for home where he was tagged out with 10 feet to go. what the hell, arizona?!
6-6 through 9.
13:42 time on the wednesday crossword. Not my best.
Meanwhile, deep hit by Belli allows pollock to take third. One out, T10
Muncy IBB. CT3 at the plate, 1 out.
Pollock breaks for home on a hit to third, but AZ 3B Escobar misplays it and Pollock scores easily when Escobar drops the exchange from glove to hand. 7-6, first and second with one out.
LUX BREAKS IT OPEN! 3-run HR, it's 10-6 LA
Lux frickin' CRUSHED that ball
LUX HR #2 ON THE NIGHT!
That landed halfway up the seating area in right. Wow.
Orel, how can your feed be even slower than mine
A little interesting--and maybe I'm reading too much into this--but the Dodgers' dugout AND Gavin Lux were both remarkably subdued after his HR there. One would think a 3-run extra-inning HR would be cause for celebration. The Dodgers, and Lux, looked like a funeral procession was passing through town. What's up with that?
Geez Kenley
Christina walker 1-out HR. It's 10-8. Kenley gets served here. Okay settled down Kenley
I'm watching a Reddit feed Sax
two out
I have no conspiracy theories for the lack of dugout celebration although I believe players have been told to minimize contact
10-9 now. It would be nice if Kenley could maybe finish this game off.
kenley gets the K!
Looking
(Strike 2 was a little questionable, but no question about strike 3)
WIN
(barely)
I'll take it
Will Buehler's blister heal before the season ends?!

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKIE
KIKÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ
D-bags trolling Kershaw with peeps banging buckets in stands. gotta admit. i like that.
Kershaw's in playoff form
Bunt single, ball hits third base, botched DP ball. Not exactly Kershaw's fault
Also, 7-pitch 3rd inning!
I guess I'm the Clayton Kershaw Marching & Chowder Society tonight
Dammit Taylor almost had that one. 4-4, one out top 8
My god Caleb Ferguson sucks now. Lead off double to start the bottom of the eighth in a 4-4 tie
And just like that, Caleb shuts me up with a SWEET K looking for out #1
Ferguson escapes! 4-4 through 8
Kareem couldn't have caught that throw. so high
Seager with an exceptionally feeble at bat there
why do they swing at inside pitches when the shift is on? pisses me off
Gavin Lux does not know how to throw on the run.
Extra-innings lead!
makes me feel dirty when the runner on second base scores in extra innings
Both Orels are starting to worry about Bellinger
Orel: “I’m starting to get worried about him.” Referring to Cody Bellinger on his third strikeout, during an 0-for-5 night where he looks over-matched.
dammit
I blame my slow feed
noice
cool win
WIN
DAMMIT

The Mookie 2B curse begins...
Kiké, CS at home?! What the hell
Corey grounds to first to end the top of the sixth, with two on and one RISP. 2-2
Kiké is shitting the bed here. He bobbles a ball to allow the go-ahead run to score and Ahmed to end up with a triple. 2-3
