Games 41-43 Thread: May 23-25 @ Nationals

Let's do this.

Mon 5.23 4p: Tyler Anderson vs. Avon
Tue 5.24 4p: Buehler vs. Gray
Wed 5.25 1p: Urias vs. Fedde

After Max Muncy's horrible showing in Sunday's game vs. the Phillies, I felt the need for the Dodgers--and myself--to put my money where my mouth is. So let's go.

JT treated the Boys to seeing the new Top Gun movie last night. What a great team leader. These guys really needed an 'off' night after yesterdays loss.

karen said...

I don't know if anyone saw the interview with Muncy right after yesterdays game but it was hard to watch. He was obviously really upset and (maybe I'm just a big old sap) but I felt really bad for him. He looked like he had tears in his eyes and he stood there and took it like a man and took full responsibility for the error. Reminded me of Kersh, especially when he faced the press after bad outings in the postseason.

I have a 4:15 DDS appointment and not sure when I'll be back. Catch y'all on the other side.

@Spanky...From yesterday...I hate the dentist. My stupid mouth still hurts.

@Sax...I'm thrilled to hear of your $8 windfall!!! I feel safe in saying that you will share your riches with those of us here on SoSG who have always loved and supported you :)

What is it with Walker?? He is either totally solid or like today he can't get an out. We are at 3-2 Nats still in the first. Walker has an astounding 1 out.

Sorry, I'm feeling pretty bitchy today. And besides, Walker deserves my bitchiness.

karen said...

MOOKIE hits a 3 run shot in the second inning for the Boys to retake the lead. 5-3 Blue after 1.1 innings.

karen said...

Hated Ones lose their fifth in a row, this one to the Mighty Mets.

karen said...

And CT3 pumps out a 2 run homer. 7-3 LA T3.

I have a feeling that Walker is going to need a much larger cushion then 4 runs.

karen said...

MOOKIE hits a solo in his next AB. He leads the NL with 12 homeruns. 8-3 Blue.

karen said...

Thank heaven Andrew Friedman works for us!!!!

karen said...

Joe Davis talking about Mookie and how baseball was his third choice after basketball and bowling. He says he loved Kobe (don't we all) and Iverson but ended up in baseball. Mook says baseball taught him how to love unconditionally. I have always thought of baseball as my religion and Dodger Stadium as my cathedral. Good to know Mook and I are of one mind.

karen said...

I know this has nothing to do with baseball and probably not even Pop Culture but I have to pay respect to those affected by the mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas today. At this point in time we have 18, EIGHTEEN dead children and 1 dead teacher. This happened about 80 miles out of San Antonio. Those of us who have been here awhile all know our friend Meanie Breanie. I can only hope and pray that she or none of her loved ones have been affected by this tragedy. Thoughts and so many prayers to those, especially the parents of these babies, whose lives have been forever changed.

9-3 LA. Good. They better be kicking the ass of a minor league team.

karen said...

@Spanky...I am in total agreement with you....However, my friend, our Boys lost to the freaking Pirates, who dare I say, are even worse than these Nats.

karen said...

FINAL SCORE....9-4 Good Guys.

spank said...

@karen- I'm trying to block that Pirate shit from my mind but thanks for reminding me.😂

karen said...

@Spanky....I only remind you out of love!! XOXO

spank said...

No score after 3.5 innings

karen said...

Julio really fighting it now.

karen said...

I missed the dust up at third base with Hanser Alberto. I'm hoping to pickup the replay sometime today.

spank said...

Damn. Thought the Dodgers were going to give it up there big time. 1-0 Nats after 7.

spank said...

Looks like I picked the wrong game to watch and the wrong time to stop sniffing glue. Horrible.

karen said...

Going to the ninth down by 1.....

karen said...

@Spanky...3:28...Airplane!!! One of my all time favorites!

spank said...
