Series Thread (Games 108-109): Aug 3-4 vs Cheaters

Oh, this series should be fun. Especially seeing the re-stocked Dodgers team take the field against the cheating Astros: Let's GO!

Buehler starting today and Scherzer tomorrow makes this series a must watch. I'm sure the crowd is going to be raining "Boos" down on all the Astr*s tonight. With Bregman hurt, the fans will have to save some ammo for the future. But Altuve, Guriel, and McCullers should be prepared to feel the hateHateHATE!

I'm looking forward to seeing our boys in blue having razor sharp focus and winning a couple of games. No time like the present to start our playoff push and start closing gap on the Gnats.

...and Correa. F#$% that guy too. I hope Bellinger launches a HR tonight and talks some crap to him and Altuve as he's rounding second.

This is something that has bothered me for some time. Back in 1989 Pete Rose was banned from baseball by then commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti for betting on the game. If I remember right his bet wasn't even on his own team. The battle cry from MLB was "The integrity of the game must be protected." Fast forward to 2017 and the Houston Astros are exposed for cheating in the World Series. A couple of guys lost their jobs but THERE WAS NO INTEGRITY in the way MLB handled the shameful actions of Houston. I'm not saying that the Dodgers should have been awarded the WS trophy. What I am saying is the WS title and trophy should never have been left with the Astros. At the very least there should be an asterick in the history books. Oh, and Dusty Baker, a former Dodger, now managing the Astros* in the wake of Cora's shit filled attempt to manage the team, shame on you Mr. Baker. You must be a monumental asshole.

karen said...

I don't think I've ever heard booing at the Ravine like the welcome they're giving Altuve.

QuadSevens said...

The crowd chanting “cheater” at Correa was great! And the huge ovation for his K was even better.

karen said...

I just saw a guy in the crowd with a Joe Kelly pouty face t-shirt. Anyone knows where to get that let me know.

karen said...

Oh man! The Dodger faithful are feeling it tonight.

QuadSevens said...

@karen The Mrs and I got those last year. I can’t find the exact link for the ones we got, just search “Nice Swing Bitch” and you’ll find them.

QuadSevens said...

Rotowear and teepublic have them.

karen said...

Q7...Thanks!

QuadSevens said...

Pollock with a hit off of McCullers’ ankle. Beaty to pinch hit with AJ on second. Let’s go!

QuadSevens said...

Down 3-0 in the 8th. Two on for CT3.

QuadSevens said...

Fielder’s choice. On the corners with two down for Cody.

QuadSevens said...

Down looking. More left on base. Ugly.

QuadSevens said...

Bottom of the ninth. Last chance for us.

karen said...

Ugly. Ugly. Ugly.

QuadSevens said...

I haven't looked for today's lineup, but Pollock better not be batting 8th again. Dude is on fire! Need to get him more at bats.

QuadSevens said...

GAME 2

Betts 2B
Muncy 1B
Turner 3B
Seager SS
Smith C
Taylor CF
Pollock LF
Bellinger RF
Scherzer P

QuadSevens said...

Hopefully the bats can find a few more hits tonight. Last night was brutal. Pollock should be batting 5th.

QuadSevens said...

Game is at 6:40pm tonight. We can feel hopeless about our team 30 minutes earlier. Eeyore out!

QuadSevens said...

Scherzer goes 7 with 10 Ks giving up just 2 runs. And the offense comes alive with 7 runs of support!

QuadSevens said...

Joe Kelly sits down the first two in the 8th. Now facing Correa.

QuadSevens said...

Correa hits it out after a fan robs Bellinger of an out in the right field corner.

QuadSevens said...

Btw...Mookie hit two HRs, Smith hit a HR, and Pollock hit a HR. And Altuve got the golden sombrero!

QuadSevens said...

Kenley gives up a single then 2 run bomb to start the ninth. 7-5 one out.

QuadSevens said...

WIN!

Testing 1, 2, 3
