Fri 7p Urias vs. Musgrove Sat 6p Buehler vs. Paddack Sun 1p Scherzer vs. Snell
Remember when we were playing for first place back in San Francisco? Yeah, it seems like an eternity ago. Since then, we left Birdshit Park down one game, then split with the Cardinals (while the Giants swept the hapless Rockies), so now we're 2.5 GB and barely any time left on the clock. With AJ Pollock injured, Cody Bellinger has been thrust back into the starting lineup...and since gone 0-for-13 when asked to step up (Cody is 0-for-19 in September, across seven games. Fangraphs finally has the Giants favored to win the NL West this season. And now we're facing the Padres who are hungry for a Wild Card berth (against us, to boot), while the Giants feast on the defeated Cubs.
We are probably fucked. But hey, I guess I'll watch anyway.

Thank the gods
nice to see you again karen. while you were gone, we folded. so now that you're back, let's rock!
We start the first game 3 games back of the Giants.
Sax...I had to have a little break after losing 2 of 3 at Birdshit Park. I did see most of the Cardinal series and like the series with frisco it kind of rattled my soul and trust me that is not a good thing.
Doc says Cody will be out the next few games to work on some things and for a mental break, (Just like me!)
Tatis Jr scares the livin' daylights out of me and as I have said before Manny Machado is MLB's answer to Aaron Hernandez and I absolutely know I would never want to run into that bruiser in a dark alley.
Fernando Tatis Jr makes a great, leaping catch on a Max Muncy fly and then smiles and flashes the two out sign to the fans in the RF grandstand. What a bitch she is.
Julio just hit Cronenworth's hand.
I hope Julio broke it.
Max hits #32 with Mookie on. 2-0 LA
CT3 makes a tremendous catch off Aaron Hernandez wannabe. It looked like he may have taken a homerun away from Machado. 3-0 mid 5.
KJ comes in to shut this mother down!!! Final score 3-0.

Last I checked The Hated Ones were kicking Cubby ass 12-3 in sixth.
JHair is talking about some great advice he received from Robin Ventura and it made me think about when Ventura came to the Dodgers. The newspaper headline read "We needed Batman but we got Robin". What a great line!
The Dodgers did a beautiful pregame honoring the First Responders of 9/11. I have always been so proud of Major League Baseball and the part it played in healing our nation. I will always remember Mike Piazza's homerun in that first games back against the Braves. As with Pearl Harbor, September 11, 2001 is a day that we will never forget.
I love the way the Dodger faithful greet Manny Machado.
Sorry! Honestly I really don't know what I'm doing to cause those huge spaces.
Leadoff single for 🐄🔑!
@karen! You’re especially spacey today 😂
No worries. Blogger is a pretty bad interface
Dammit, strike out throw out for the Pads. Two out.
@Sax...So good to have your company tonight! And yes, I am more spacey than usual!!
Cody walks and scores from first on a Gavin Lux hit. I'll bet Belli feels great contributing to the team after struggling for so long.
Lux scores on Mookie's sac fly. 2-0 Dodgers in B2.
Tatis Jr ties the game with a 2 run homer. 2-2 T3.
T4^^^
Julio broke Cronenworth's ring finger last night. I'm so happy!
Mookie hits a 3 run homer to bring the score to 5-2 B5.
Joe Kelly comes in to restore order in the top of the eighth. 5-4 World Champions.
Kenley has 2 outs and the time is 9:11 and the Dodger crowd is chanting USA, USA.
STRIKE 3!!!! we are 2.5 games behind NoCal with 19 games to go!
Oh I do feel bad for cronenworth. That sucks.
Shame on you Saxy!! Cronenworth is the enemy!!!

5 more K's for Max to reach 3000 strikeouts.
Snell hurt, looks like his left groin. He's taken out of the game.
Max K's the side, only 2 away from 3000!
MAX IS ONE AWAY FROM 3000!!
Seager homers for the first run of the game. 1-0 B4.
Frisco Monsters up by one in Chicago.
He did it!!! Max is the 19th pitcher in history to reach 3000 STRIKEOUTS!!
Scherzer is something special! That 3000th K was awesome!
Mookie solos for a 2-0 Dodger lead!
Scherzer is rolling! I love that Prior was running out to the mound so he didn’t delay and piss off Scherzer. LOL!
JT launches a 3 run homer for a 6 run lead in B7.
@Q7...Yeah he gets intense on the days he pitches but it is totally working.
CODY GOT A HIT!
WOW!!! Scherzer pitched what had to be one of his greatest games ever and got the win, 8-0 final score.
I’m all for the Mad Max attitude on game days.
