Tues 5/3 7p: Urias (1-1. 2.50) vs. Rodon (3-0, 1.17).
Wed 5/4 7p: TBD Gonsolin (1-0, 1.59) vs. A Wood (2-1, 4.19).
When the Dodgers last saw the Giants, it looked something like this:
Ah yes. I remember it well, but I can watch those highlights again just to be pleasantly reminded.
(And by the way, when I debated with my brother-in-law (a Giants fan) about the Dodgers' profligate spending to date, and whether it has been worth it so far, I was able to remind him of two inescapable truths: 1) 2020 World Series Championship, and 2) 2021 NLDS Championship. Yes, there could, and should, be more. But yes, those two accomplishments are forever.)
Okay, back to this one. The Dodgers open up the day tied for first place in the NL West with the Padres, and the Giants are in third just a half-game back. This two-game tango features one Giant starter who hasn't lost this year, and another who was a former Dodger who went 0-2 against us last year (in three starts) but then helped San Francisco win NLDS Game 3 against us.
Meanwhile, don't let a series win over the lowly 7-14 Tigers fool you. We've still got Justin Turner scuffling with a .187 BA (and a .499 OPS), while Cody Bellinger's flash of a comeback dissipated quickly in the Detroit series as he went 1-for-11 with an RBI (Bellinger is batting .208). And we haven't even named a starter for Wednesday.
Clench up, Dodgers fans.

I've got a dinner tonight so I'll need you all to hold down the fort!
GO DODGERS!
So the talk on Social Media today is 'How is Joc going to be treated tonight'. First of all he isn't in the starting lineup. My daughter was asking me if the fans would boo him because of his poor taste in his current employer. I don't think they will. We loved Yung Joc and I'm sure that the first time he is announced in a game the fans at Dodger Stadium will applaud and welcome him home. Then Jennifer asked me 'What if he gets a hit' and just as sure as I am for his initial greeting I am positive there will not be a loud applause should he do something positive for the Ogres of the North.
hate-Hate-HATE
ALWAYS
If Joc had left the Dodgers for Frisco he'd get boo'd out the fucking stadium. He'll be alright in LA
Time for Max to get hot. He usually does good when playing the Hated Ones.
It's Rams night at the Ravine. The Lombardi Trophy is on the field and Cooper Cupp is throwing out the first pitch. Here's my question: Cupp has a Dodger cap on but the LA is upside down. What does that mean??
killKillKILL
Joe and Orel talking about how well the Ogres are doing with all of their injuries, Covid cases and losing Oyster Pubes. Personally I think there must be some Satanic rituals and probably some human sacrifices going on in Kapler's office. Gotta be.
Dodgers making Rodon look like Warren Spahn
Taylor baby!!
CT3 singles in Muncy and Belli. 2-0 Golden Boys of the South. B2.
2run single 2-0 LA
Spank....Did you see that pitch Rodon made that hit the backstop on the fly? My mom used to tell me stories about Sandy Koufax when he was first coming up and he would let 'em fly like that a lot. Who knew he would grow up to be SANDY KOUFAX!!
@ karen...yeah I saw it. Koufax was pretty wild. I was wild too back in my day. One of my teachers called me Dizzy Dean
Right now Saxy is all fancy eating escargot and caviar with his champagne cocktails
Testing. Disappear
Muncy is horrible. .136 average
I hate the shift when it goes against us. Of course I love it when it works for us.
Spank...It didn't disappear, I see it!!
@karen...yeah I saw that Rodon pitch. That thing had wings. Koufax was pretty wild early on.
Saxy is finishing up his escargot and caviar right about now. More champagne sir?
I would've kicked my tv had that ball went out
CT3 double
Alberto Ks
Still 2-0 LA after 5
Man...Mookie in right and Belli in center...How solid is that
Trea doubles off of his old college roommate.
I think Trea would have scored on that passed ball if he tried
I thought Max got ahold of that one. 2-0 LA after 6.
Joc moving around in the dugout.
FUCK THE HUMIDOR
Belli gave it a ride to center but it died at the track
2-1 LA
Jocs right on top of the plate. Gotta brush him back with a high inside fastball

Good morning, Dodgers fans!
Arizona up 6-3 on the @Marlins, even though MadBum was tossed early while being checked for foreign substances mid-inning (?).
Padres up on @Cleveland 3-1 in game 1 of a doubleheader (yesterday was postponed due to rain).
Snakes and Padres both win, by only one run each. Oh well
Dodgers start Gonsolin (1-0, 1.59).

Cleveland wins Game 2 with SD in the 10th.
HAPPY STAR WARS DAY SoSG NATION!!!
MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH US TO KICK SOME GIANT ASS
This Sunday is the 10 year anniversary of the Gugga Bros purchasing our team. THANK YOU Guggenheim Baseball Management for kicking Frank McCourt to the curb and saving our beloved Dodgers!!
I'm just thrilled that MadBum got his freaking ass booted out of today's game because of some sticky stuff on his pitching hand (?). And what is up with dude's facial hair?? He looks like a Civil War soldier.
BTW...Nomar and JHair calling the MadBum tossing on the ump. They say the ump provoked MadBum and needs to be suspended.
Joc leading off tonight and Alex Wood on the bump.
Fuck The Giants and Madison!!
Every time I have to see that freaking Bobby Thompson homerun it PISSES me off. It's 2022 and is common knowledge that the Evildoers were stealing signs from the scoreboard.
Catman Ks Joc and his Marilyn Monroe hair.
Catman sits the Evildoers down in 10 pitches.
Shit
Catman makes me nervous.
Horrible
I loved the visit with Clayton. Don't you judge me Spanky!! :) :)
I'll be nervous if Gonsolin pitches the 5th
@karen haha. no judgement.
I had the volume off the whole time. I know I suck
@Spank....I just don't get why you don't love him like I do!
Here we go!! 2 on, no out.
TT ties it all up!! WooHoo!!!
Trea Turner! Freddie to third. Yay

Come on Maxy
No GIDP here, Max
@karen: back from the least coast.
Still don’t have cable though so I’m stuck with Charley on the radio ☹️
Dieter just played the yub yub song.
And Muncy Ks.
@Sax...Is that why you've been doing the audio thing? Get off your tush and get your cable!!!
Awwww...I thought JT was coming through with a double there
And of course he hits into a double play after that
Justin Turner GIDPs.
We gotta sit him, hate to say it but it’s true.
Joc up with the tying run in scoring position
And Yung Joc flies out on the first pitch
Lux has a horrible arm.
MOOOOOKIE!!!!
Mookie!

Lux ekes a cheapie out there, scoring Muncy.
4-1 LA

Okay, I already wrote this for you guys but it disappeared so....Since Spanky watches the game on mute and Saxy has to listen to Charley......When Max Muncy got his first hit in heaven knows how long Orel yelled "Get the ball!".
Chants of FREDDiE!
Freddie clears the bases. Its an old fashioned ass whuppin' now
@karen: that’s hilarious about Orel’s sarcasm!
I'm listening to Beatles remixes. That 1 album remix is very clean
Freddie!! This is a repost
7-1 LA through 7
Boy Max needed that.
Finally Muncy
Muncy with a two-run HR!
And with JT’s base hit, now every Dodger has been on base.
