Gonsolin vs Snell.
OK OK OK OK OK OK while it's true that existence is pain, sometimes there's a frisson of hope on the other side of that pain. After being repeatedly punched in the mouth in Game 4, Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers squared their jaws and grinded out a victory in Game 5 and suddenly the Dodgers are 27 outs away from their first World Series championship in 32 years.Anyone else worried about CT3 and Will Smith? They've been uncharacteristically unreliable lately. On the flip side, Catman Gonsolin will be fully rested, Corey, Max and JT have been great and Mookie's due for his signature World Series moment. Props also to Joc, although he likely won't start today's game.
On the bullpen side: Say no to Kenley and Baez. Say yes to anyone else.
The Boys in Blue have two games to win one. GO BLUE!

AJ in over Keekay? Interesting. Hope he comes off the bench and mashes tonight!
Keeks can be a defensive replacement later on
I was thinking about AJ, who has been resting since the Game 4 debacle. Pollock is batting .250 which is better than either Taylor (.200) or Hernandez (.222). So let's see if Roberts' hunch is right here.
If Brett Fuckin Phillips can be a hero then so can AJ or CT3 or Kiké
Given those choices, I want Kiké to be the hero.
He came SO CLOSE with those two defensive dives in Game 4
Yeah he did. Mishandling a double play ball in game 2 wasn't good though. He's had a couple of big hits this postseason. I'm hoping he can do it again if called upon.
Pregame nerves settling in.
M&Ms have been consumed. Picking up Reese's and York Peppermint Patties before the game starts.
Catman named Baseball America's Rookie of the Year.
Q7...More Halloween candy?
Yes indeed. On sale most places now.
HERE WE GO
HERE WE GO...
Wow a first-pitch strike!
Dammit. Already.
3-pitch K. That'll work
Fuck.
Shake it off Tony. It's your turn to shine.
Hope to get out of this inning having given up three runs or fewer
Two down
How did Macarena hit that one out? Crazy!
Former Cardinal too
Good job Catman!
I didn't watch (I'm on calls) but that looked very painful for Tony G.
25 pitches. He did get two Ks though.
Okay let's get some f'ing runs back now, boys
Mookie time to show up
Catman battled back. Nice to see
Dammit Mookie
Snell is on
two quick Ks for Snell.
We are doomed
C'mon JT. Don't need a big loopy swing here
about to be 3 Ks here with JT 1-2
Not an ideal start for the offense.
3Ks for Snell. Ouch.
That is not going to get it done, guys.
Kiermaier double. Need to limit the damage
Gonsolin's command is crap. Will be a miracle if he escapes this inning
Nice K of Zunino!
Why would you throw a first-pitch ball to Choi?
Fuck
No leash for the Catman.
Doc coming with a hook.
WOW FLORO
Nice work Floro!
Muncy put it in play!
Time to show up, Fresh Prince
MAX MUNCY CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE BALL!!!
Man Snell played Smith like a fiddle
(it was a groundout to pitcher)
Total trash AB by Cody
Wow do we look terrible at the plate.
My god, Snell has 5 Ks through two innings.
WE SUCK
Can Doc call for automatic K’s on his hitters? Save us the aggregation...
Nice catch by Cody. Wood settles things down. WE ARE ONLY DOWN BY ONE
Gotta get a hit boys!
Attaboy Taylor!
Snell’s eyes make him look like he’s hung over and needs sleep.
Dammit AJ tagged that one
@Quad: That describes me too!
That outside strike is killing us
This ump is giving way too much on the outside part of the plate.
Duck on the pond for Mookie!
Sigh
This has been tense and unfun so far
Good Wood
Yikes it's Petey
Ji-Man first-pitch swinging!
Two quick outs for Baez.
Limiting him to a single is a victory there
VGo 1 pitch = 1 out
Smith made contact. We should get a run for that
VGon doing well with 2 Ks in this inning.
He was pumped!
2 drinks ain’t enough Jack, you better make it three!
TIME TO WAKE UP THE BATS!!!
SAVE US BARNSEY
OH YEAH THAT'S RIGHT
Snell was pissed to come out. Love it!
I'm shocked
C'MON MOOKIE
Oh yeah!
TIE GAME
FUCK YEAH!! TIE GAME!!
WOOHOO! MOOKIE SCORES!

Breakfast is almost done. Spreading some strawberry jam on this last slice of sourdough...
Let's get some goddamn Geico here
Why do I put myself through this?
Fresh double!
@karen: Because you have no choice?
Will smith!!!
Yes he will!
Cody doesn't strike out, but he does get under the ball
Cody has been ice cold.
Well he had an RBI in Game 5
Why didn’t micro Dave bring in Joctober here?
The Laker championship was so much easier then this. You just kind of knew they were going to win. This is absolute agony.
Never mind...
CT3, that was a bad AB. Cody, you too.
C'MON JOC
C'MON BARNSEY
Ugh
He was battling. But came up empty.

Wonder wassup with JT?
