Series Thread (Games 122-125): Aug 19-22 vs. Mets

Thu Aug 19 7p: TBD Knebel vs. T Walker
Fri Aug 20 7p: Buehler vs. Carrasco
Sat Aug 21 1p: Scheerzer vs. R Hill
Sun Aug 22 1p: Price vs. Stroman

Now three games back of the Giants, having made up a game with the sweep over the Pirates. But the Giants get a rest and massage day Thursday, before skipping across the Bay to face the Athletics, who might be the first competitive opponent that the Giants have seen in eons. Can we make up some more ground?

@Sax...Spread the SoSG mojo!!

karen said...

Kirsten Watson reporting that Mookie is feeling great and he said, with his patented huge Mookie smile, "the pain is all gone."

karen said...

@Cliffy....Jennifer, my daughter, and I checked out the link you sent last night and we laughed our butts off!

Steve Sax said...

At the Stadium!

karen said...

The Hated Ones are off tonight so if we win we will be down by only 2.5 games. Just saying that makes me feel all tingly.

karen said...

Mitch White pitched his balls off last night and his reward....a non-stop ride back to OKC.

karen said...

1-0 Boys 1 out in B2.

karen said...

Seeing the Mets always makes me think of Game 6. When Jennifer was growing up I would tell her about that game, how that ball dribbled between Bill Buckner's feet. I loved Buckner when he was a Dodger. But now she's all grown up and I can tell her how we have our own Game 6 and our very own Mookie.

Steve Sax said...

The Mets just ran themselves out of the fourth inning! That was awesome.

2-1 LA, mid-4

karen said...

4-1 Blue through 6.

Steve Sax said...

Huge win for the good guys last night. We are down 2.5 games

karen said...

AJ Pollock was a late scratch with muscle spasms in his back.

karen said...

I love the City Circuit jerseys and caps. Not sure about the pants although Walker asked if the pants would be tight and was happy with the fit. As for me, I always like the tight pants (See Gavin Lux).

karen said...

JT brings in TT for a one run lead after one.

karen said...

My boy Belli is 1 for his last 18. I'll bet his pants aren't tight enough.

karen said...

My Dad would have loved Trea Turner. I remember when he was teaching me about baseball he said if a players uniform wasn't dirty he wasn't playing hard enough. He really liked Pete Rose because he was always dirty.

karen said...

Muncy brings in TT and JT brings in Muncy. 3-0 Blue.

No score in Evil, A's game after 2.

karen said...

Pete Alonso leads off fourth with his 27th homerun. 3-1 LA.

karen said...

Hated Ones get a run off of Yaz's grandson's homerun. Bad Guys up 1-0 in T5.

karen said...

A's up 2-1 in 7th.

karen said...

3-2 Dodgers on infield hit in T8. Doc pulls Buehler at 105 pitches (I think).

karen said...

Alex Vesia comes in to punch JD Davis' ticket with tying run on third and go ahead on second. Dodgers up 3-2 mid 8.







karen said...

FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS!!! KJ coming in to shut this baby down. 3-2 Dodgers T9.

karen said...

Kenley comes in to shut the Metropolitans down with 7 pitches for the eighth
Dodger win in a row.

Buehler looked great and won his 13th game.

THE EVIL DOERS LOSE!!!!! We are down by 1.5 games!!!! I think I love you Oakland!

Steve Sax said...

Sweeeeeeeeeet. Thanks karen for the recap last night!

karen said...

GAME 3

Trea Turner 2B
Max Muncy 3B
Albert Pujols 1B
AJ Pollock LF
Corey Seager SS
Chris Taylor RF
Will Smith C
Cody Bellinger CF
Max Scherzer RHP

karen said...

Shawn Green sitting in for JHair. I've always liked and respected Shawn.

Max Scherzer vs Rich Hill. I love D. Mountain. I hope we get to see him hit and run!

NO JT IN THE LINEUP??

LISTEN FOR DODGER FOOTSTEPS COMING VERY FAST FROM RIGHT BEHIND YOU NoCAL!

karen said...

I love it that Max Scherzer went to the Clayton Kershaw school of pitching attitude. He employs the "Don't talk to me", "Don't touch me" and most of all "DON'T LOOK AT ME" mind set when he is pitching

karen said...

Joe picking up on the Scherzer Pitching Attitude was saying that on off days when Max is getting in his side work everybody who is in the bullpen must be wearing full unis. Even those who are just watching. I just love that kind of shit.

karen said...

Trea Turner hits his first homerun as a Dodger! Sorry Rich Hill, we love you but our team is just way out of the Mets league.

karen said...

Oakland 1 Evil 0 to start their game.

And Tio just hits the second HR in the first inning. 2-0 Boys of Summer.

karen said...

I hate to see Rich Hill getting beat up like this but HEY WE ARE THE F-ing DODGERS HOMEBOY!!!

Can anyone tell how jazzed I am about our recent gains on the Hated Ones??

karen said...

@Sax...If you see this, apologies for chewing on you about your Yikes comment regarding my main man Belli, even Doc has moved hin into the eighth hole. :(

karen said...

CT3 hits one to centerfield!!! 3-0 Blue.

karen said...

Brando Nimmo hits a solo off of Max. 3-1 Dodgers in 4.2.

karen said...

Max is at 97 pitches with bases loaded and 2 out in the fifth. Not his usual awesome self that we've all come to expect. Still 3-1 4.2 innings.

karen said...

Max K's Davis to leave the bases loaded but is at 104 pitches. 3-1 Blue in middle of fifth.

karen said...

I am happy to see that TT has gotten rid of that awful red sliding glove. Dude is now rocking the total Dodger Blue look.

karen said...

Kirsten is now having wardrobe changes in her work day. I don't know SAX but I don't think your Kirsten Watson jersey by it self is going to get the job done.

karen said...

I remember Vin talking about Tio in the early days of his career and saying what a good guy he was, which of course I totally believed Vinny, but I never knew how joyful the man was. I hope the Dodgers somehow keep him next season, maybe as a player-coach.

karen said...

Castro walks in Beaty for the Dodgers 4th run. 4-1 Boys with no outs in B5.

karen said...

HERE WE GO SONS AND DAUGHTERS!!! KJ coming in to shut this mofo down!!!

karen said...

Kevin Pillar up......

karen said...

KJ hits Pilar.....

karen said...

I'm trying to stay calm because we all know that Kenley rarely makes this easy.....

karen said...

Nimmo flies to AJ for one out.....

karen said...

KJ hits 96mph on McNeil for second out. Pete Alonso coming up............

karen said...

Tying run on second with Alonso coming up..............

karen said...

One strike on Alonso with the Dodger faithful on their feet.....

Strike two on Alonso......

karen said...

KJ K's Alonso!! OMG OMG!!! The Dodgers win their ninth in a row and looking to Oakland for a little bit of help.................

karen said...

A's up 5-4 in top of ninth......stay in the praying position Sons and Daughters!!!!!!!!!!!!!

karen said...

F-ing NoCAL in bottom of ninth up 6-5. Freaking Bastards.

karen said...

Waiting, waiting for word from Oakland......

karen said...

Final score in Oakland......6-5 freaking, wanna be's, assholes win 6-5. But do not fret SoSG, We Got This.

Steve Sax said...

Agreed, karen. We just gotta keep focused on what we can control.

Steve Sax said...

Game 4: loss. We fall back to 2.5 back. Still, it’s slightly better than when we started the weekend series. I will take it.
