Series Thread (Games 102-104): July 27-29 @ Giants

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.

karen said...

frisco uniforms looking shittier than usual tonight.

karen said...

Max Scherzer teams he'd like to go to...Dodgers, frisco and friars. My Max Scherzer fantasy is one step closer to reality!

karen said...

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!!

karen said...

Belli gets the first hit of the night for the Dodgers in the fifth.

karen said...

McKinney brings in Cody Pop with a single but is thrown out trying to stretch it to a double. 1-0 Champs mid 5.

karen said...

Oyster Pubes singles in Slater to tie the damn game, B6.

karen said...

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.

karen said...

Doc pulls Urias. Graterol in.

karen said...

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.

karen said...

AJ hits the right field wall on the fly for a double.

karen said...

AJ left at second. Going to B7 still tied.

karen said...

Jimmy Nelson come in and hits 2 consecutive hitters. frisco on first and second with one out.

karen said...

Hated Ones strand two in B7. Going to eighth still tied.

karen said...

Raley gets his first hit since June 13 to start the eighth.

karen said...

CT3 hits the wall in center. Dodgers on second and third with one out and Mighty Max coming up.

karen said...

Raley thrown out at home on Muncy grounder. Dodgers on corners, 2 out and JT up.

karen said...

Infidels making a lot of noise at BirdShit park.

karen said...

JT flies to right. Going to B8 tied at 1.

QuadSevens said...

Totally agree with you on the SF uniforms. They are terrible.

karen said...

Treinen comes in to walk first two Hated Ones to start B8.

karen said...

Q7...I'm so glad you're here. This game is way to hard to watch.

karen said...

Belli airmails a throw to third to give the Evil Doers the lead 2-1.

QuadSevens said...

I think Muncy got in the way of that throw from Bellinger. He let it sail high because Muncy ran into the throwing line.

QuadSevens said...

Not scoring last inning is gonna kill us.

karen said...

Good. I'm feeling bitchy and I hope Wade Jr is hurt.

karen said...

Yeah, we blew a big one in the eighth.

QuadSevens said...

LOL! hateHateHATE!

karen said...

Don't know how I posted twice there but I'm just going to blame it on the Hated Ones.

karen said...

Q7...I just saw the Belli throw and you're right, Max ran in front of him.

QuadSevens said...

Pollock is our last chance.

QuadSevens said...

Ugh. Another one run loss.

karen said...

I HATE THIS FREAKING TEAM

karen said...

Q7...and we lose it in the late innings.

karen said...

Night Mr & Mrs Q7, I'm off to watch Seinfeld and get the crappy taste out of my mouth after watching this game.

Steve Sax said...

Yikes. ESPN article is brutal on Belli blowing it.

QuadSevens said...

GAME 2

Dodgers win on Walker Buehler's birthday! 8-0. Buehler goes 7 strong and Bellinger hits a late HR.

karen said...

GAME 3

Chris Taylor SS
Max Muncy 2B
Justin Turner 3B
Cody Bellinger CF
AJ Pollock LF
Albert Pujols 1B
Billy McKinney RF
Austin Barnes C
David Price LHP

karen said...

My god but Cody Bellinger is pretty.

karen said...

24 hours until Trade Deadline. I'm holding my breath for Max Scherzer.

karen said...

Brandon Crawford drives in 2 for the EvilDoers in first.

karen said...

3-0 Hated Ones B2.

karen said...

Devil's Spawns still up 3-0 going to fourth.

karen said...

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.

karen said...

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.

karen said...

DAMN the blood suckers score again in B4. 4-0.

karen said...

Doc comes out to make the double switch, Bickford in, Price out and Beaty in to RF, McKinney out.

karen said...

Bickford makes 2 pitches and gives up a triple to Ruf. My attitude is quickly getting pissy.

karen said...

Don't quite know what the F is going on here but after Ruf's triple Doc intentionally walks the bases loaded.

karen said...

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.

karen said...

Kapler pulls Cueto. My pretty boy Cody is up with bases juiced and 2 out in T6 down 4-0.

karen said...

My boy Ks on three pitches to end our half of the inning. :(

karen said...

Doc pulls Bickford for Vesia to pitch B6. I'm quickly losing my good nature.

karen said...

5-0 in B7. Enough said.

karen 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. :)
