It's an old-fashioned showdown in the West, except not against the team that we thought would be the challenger. San Francisco, not San Diego, sits one game up on the Dodgers, who closed the gap coming out of the All-Star break, but missed an opportunity to make it a tie atop the division when we fell in extra innings to Colorado, 6-5. (The Giants lost two of three to the Cardinals.)
Despite the Dodgers being without Clayton Kershaw (likely out until August with elbow inflammation) and Trevor Bauer (he who cannot be named), we match up okay in this series. We've just got to get through the first two games of this series.
Mathematically, we can't end up this series tied with the Giants. But we'll need to take at least three if we are to emerge with the NL West lead.

FUCK THE GNATS!
@Spanky...Did you just call here? One of our phones is screwed up.
yes. it sounded like a mexican woman answered and they hung up on me. haha
Mookie still out and Lux down now too. Muncy leaving soon to be with his wife and their newborn. Seager might be back on Wednesday though.
@Spanky...Damn you caught me. I was trying to dazzle you with my muy muy bueno Espanol!!
Catman is not dazzling us in the first.
Oyster Pubes hits a 2 run homer. Watching this inning has been a little painful. Now Wilmer Flores hit one. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come. 3-0 Evil Doers.
WOW!! Muncy hits it Santa Clarita. 3-1 NoCals
JT goes yard! 3-2 in B1
I hate you Wilmers
Rancho ardiendo!
Bleh! Leadoff double wasted by 3 strikeouts.
Will Smith has not been clutch since last year’s NLCS.
i'm still watching the game. a fucking miracle that is.
@ Karen 7:19 - you had me fooled. i was ready to order some tacos al pastor when you hung up
Not having a good feeling about VGon here
First and second, one out, T7
We gotta get some offense here.
Cody, this might be a nice time for you to start hitting again
Victor had Solano 0-2 and allows a single to right.
Bases loaded for the giants with one out. This is not good
And, Gonzalez shits the bed. 6-2 SF.

We face Alex Wood today. Yikes
@Mrs Q7....Yay! Our Matty doppelganger is starting tonight!!! Lets enjoy!
Todays injury roundup...Mookie out for the third straight day with a hip pointer. Wasn't it some kind of hip flexor that shelved Bo Jackson's career?
Scotty Alexander put on the 10 day DL.
World Series MVP's return is "imminent".
@karen: who's the matty dopplegänger?
Oh man I am worried about Mookie. Just when he was heating up too...
We really need to steal today's game.
@Sax...He's the kid who is our starting pitcher tonight. Mrs. Q7 discovered him about a week ago.
Great play by Tio Alberto!! In your faces ANAHEIM Angels.
McKinstry, filling in for Mookie in RF, just made a great catch. To bad it was after the Hated Ones HR.
Mrs. Q7 and I just wish the Matty doppelgänger kept the ball in the park.
I remember a few years back when The Angels started going by the Los Angeles Angels somebody asked Tommy about that and he said, quite clearly, The only Angels in Los Angeles are at Dodger Stadium.
@Q7 and Mrs Q7....Funny, I was thinking the same thing.
Wood hits JT and Muncy. Ouch!
Cody Bellinger has had a total of one hit since the all star break
I will always love Kike but McKinstry is making an awfully good argument to get over it.
Cody has not had a multi-hit game since June 11
Now 4-1 SF. Not good
Anyone else getting a tummy ache watching this game?
Congratulations, Milwaukee Bucks!
I heard today that the Bucks hadn't won the title in 50 years. If that's true I don't feel so bad about our much shorter time frame of 32 years. Congratulations Milwaukee!!
Uh oh...JT out of the game.
@karen Mrs Q7 gets out her imaginary scissors to cut guys beards every game.
@Q7...Your wife just may be perfect. You be sweet to her.
@karen I’m on it!
Our CT3 has risen to Rockstar status.
Maybe Max got the call from Kelly and he's racing to the hospital Dodger uni and all.
JT and Max both our due to injury…what happened?!
@Saxy....JT went out after Wood hit his knee. Max, I have no idea. I was hoping it was baby time.
Max out with a shoulder contusion.
Muncy got hit by Wood right after JT.
BUCKLE UP!!! Going to bottom of ninth down by one.
WIN BABY!! The Fresh Prince gets a 3 run pinch homer.
WALKOFF BOMB FROM THE FRESH PRINCE!!
After the walk off the Prince got the well deserved hug from Tio.
Wow what a win! Will Smith, whom I have maligned, came in with a PH walk-off three-run HR in the bottom of the ninth (none out, 0-1 pitch).
WIN
Okay, so whomever does the lineup tomorrow: use full names please!!!
Speaking of which, tomorrow’s lineup could have Betts, Turner, and Muncy all out. Not to mention Seager out.
😬
GAME 3
Chris Taylor SS
Max Muncy 2B
Matt Beaty RF
Will Smith C
Cody Bellinger CF
AJ Pollock LF
Albert Pujols 1B
Zach McKinstry 3B
Julio Urias P
Logan Webb is 4-3 on the year with a 3.54 ERA. But his last three games he hasn't lasted more than five innings. Webb has gotten to 10Ks in a game once this year.
Note in the lineup: no Turner (HBP last night), no Betts (hip issue), still no Seager.
But Muncy is okay, apparently (also HBP last night).
Nine days till the Trade Deadline. Any thoughts anyone?? Obviously pitching needs to be a priority and on my wish list, however unlikely, I would love to see Scherzer in Dodger Blue.
Urias starts the AB 3-0 and comes back with a strikeout on Slater. Wow
@karen: if it's Scherzer, is it Dodger blue and brown?
Two-out Yastrzemski HR off of Urias. Dammit. 1-0 SF
@Saxy...No Padre brown for me!
Taylor takes the second pitch of the game yard.
1-1 tie!
@karen 7.18p: (I meant Max's eyes)
Chris Taylor is on fire, man. Two HR yesterday, another one in leadoff right now. Wow.
Bellinger, one-pitch ground out.
CODY GET IT TOGETHER, MAN. WE NEED YOU
@Saxy...I know!!!
1-1 through two. Dodgers go down quietly in the second.
So in the 'The girl really needs to get a life' category....I was so jazzed after last nights game I never went to sleep! I know, sad but true.
well at least Cody can play defense in center. Great sprint to catch a dying fly ball from Slater for the third out.
0-0 through 2.5
Pollock double scores Bellinger! 2-1 LA
Pujols just misses a double (single, given his speed?) down the left field line. Wold have scored Pollock from second.
Two outs, 2-2 count. Deuces wild.
I love seeing Cody with the burners on scoring from first base on an AJ double.
Pujols grounds to short to end the inning. Still, 2-1 LA
I didn't realize Joc Pederson was traded to the Braves yesterday.
Padres @ Braves suspended in the fifth inning, with the Padres up 5-4. But the game won't stand if the rain delay holds.
Whoops, I guess Joc was traded a week ago. My god, where have I been
Julio was able to strand a runner at third, getting an infield fly out and then a infield ground out. Well done, Julio!
2-1 LA, mid 5
Joc was traded??
Belli's mom is at the game tonight. Hopefully she's going to give her boy some of mom's good old fashioned cooking and heal whatever seems to be ailing him.
Down 3-2 thanks to Kenley serving up a single, HR (now down 3-2), and now a double.
Why is Jansen falling apart now
Well that was shitty. We lose in the ninth...just like SF last night.
Damn. That sucked.
I was there for that shitshow
I have no energy for the Rox GT.
