Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Tues 7/27: Urias vs. Webb Wed 7/28: Buehler vs. DeSclafani Thu 7/29: Price vs. Cueto
Two series ago, San Francisco came into town for a four-game series, and were one Will Smith walk-off HR away from a series sweep. This time, the Dodgers head up north hoping to whittle down a two-game divisional deficit. Mookie remains on the IL, Corey Seager isn't back yet, and our bullpen is still shaky. I'm not hopeful.
But let's give it one more try.

@Sax...George Michael? I still get a tear in my eye when it comes to him.
Daddy Max back with the Boys talked with Kirsten before the game about his beautiful baby girl Sophie Kate. I gotta admit that got me teary too. Maybe I'm just a big old cry baby!
Belli in the game at 1st. Mookie is with the team and Doc said today is the best day he's had with his hip thingy. MVP working out at CBR. Kersh threw today.
That's everything I know.
frisco uniforms looking shittier than usual tonight.
Max Scherzer teams he'd like to go to...Dodgers, frisco and friars. My Max Scherzer fantasy is one step closer to reality!
Kellie Muncy told Max she was going to try to deliver their daughter over the weekend between the two frisco series and was true to her word having Sophie on Friday. Atta girl Kellie!!
Belli gets the first hit of the night for the Dodgers in the fifth.
McKinney brings in Cody Pop with a single but is thrown out trying to stretch it to a double. 1-0 Champs mid 5.
Oyster Pubes singles in Slater to tie the damn game, B6.
Julio has done a great job taking the fans out of the game but now Pubes has tied the game and frisco has men on first and second and the idiots are starting to get loud.
Doc pulls Urias. Graterol in.
Graterol gets the third out when Belli catches a bullet down the right field line. I'm assuming this cause the ball was hit so hard the cameraman completely missed the play. 1-1 going to 7th.
AJ hits the right field wall on the fly for a double.
AJ left at second. Going to B7 still tied.
Jimmy Nelson come in and hits 2 consecutive hitters. frisco on first and second with one out.
Hated Ones strand two in B7. Going to eighth still tied.
Raley gets his first hit since June 13 to start the eighth.
CT3 hits the wall in center. Dodgers on second and third with one out and Mighty Max coming up.
Raley thrown out at home on Muncy grounder. Dodgers on corners, 2 out and JT up.
Infidels making a lot of noise at BirdShit park.
JT flies to right. Going to B8 tied at 1.
Totally agree with you on the SF uniforms. They are terrible.
Treinen comes in to walk first two Hated Ones to start B8.
Q7...I'm so glad you're here. This game is way to hard to watch.
Belli airmails a throw to third to give the Evil Doers the lead 2-1.
I think Muncy got in the way of that throw from Bellinger. He let it sail high because Muncy ran into the throwing line.
Not scoring last inning is gonna kill us.
Good. I'm feeling bitchy and I hope Wade Jr is hurt.
Yeah, we blew a big one in the eighth.
LOL! hateHateHATE!
Don't know how I posted twice there but I'm just going to blame it on the Hated Ones.
Q7...I just saw the Belli throw and you're right, Max ran in front of him.
Pollock is our last chance.
Ugh. Another one run loss.
I HATE THIS FREAKING TEAM
Q7...and we lose it in the late innings.
Night Mr & Mrs Q7, I'm off to watch Seinfeld and get the crappy taste out of my mouth after watching this game.
Yikes. ESPN article is brutal on Belli blowing it.
GAME 2
Dodgers win on Walker Buehler's birthday! 8-0. Buehler goes 7 strong and Bellinger hits a late HR.

My god but Cody Bellinger is pretty.
24 hours until Trade Deadline. I'm holding my breath for Max Scherzer.
Brandon Crawford drives in 2 for the EvilDoers in first.
3-0 Hated Ones B2.
Devil's Spawns still up 3-0 going to fourth.
Word on the pregame is Mookie on Sunday and MVP maybe on Saturday. Mookie, Corey and Cody have only played in 4 games together this season.
It goes without saying that of course I hate Johnny Cueto, he is a giant after all, but the guy has so many different deliveries it's kind of fun to watch him pitch sometimes.
DAMN the blood suckers score again in B4. 4-0.
Doc comes out to make the double switch, Bickford in, Price out and Beaty in to RF, McKinney out.
Bickford makes 2 pitches and gives up a triple to Ruf. My attitude is quickly getting pissy.
Don't quite know what the F is going on here but after Ruf's triple Doc intentionally walks the bases loaded.
Obviously this is why Doc is the manager and I am not. Bickford gets the K to sit the EvilDoers down. Going to sixth 4-0 Hated Ones.
Kapler pulls Cueto. My pretty boy Cody is up with bases juiced and 2 out in T6 down 4-0.
My boy Ks on three pitches to end our half of the inning. :(
Doc pulls Bickford for Vesia to pitch B6. I'm quickly losing my good nature.
5-0 in B7. Enough said.
Well, we are out of first by 3 games. Again.
I think I'll go find a biker bar on the bad side of town and let the chips fall where they may. If I'm not here tomorrow night someone come bail me out. :)
