NLCS Game 3 Thread: 10/15 vs Brewers, 4:30p

Walker Buehler vs Jhoulys Chacin.

That's right, Dodger fans. Just when you thought you were all snug as a bug wearing your Coat of Emotional Indifference, along come Justin Turner and Pedro Baez (!!!) to rip that fucker up and throw it in the shredder (I know, no such thing as a coat shredder, work with me here).

So now we're hopeful! Which means we're vulnerable! Which we promised we would never ever be since goddamn Game 7!

Someday we'll look back and realize these are good problems to have.

But not today.

So here's a little nugget of hope: Unlike Wade Miley — who has been so good against us he could join Billie Jean King in the Dodgers' ownership group — Jhoulys Chacin isn't a Dodger-killer. In his last start, the Dodgers won 21-5.

So let's channel our inner Michael Corleone and send the Brewers to go fishing with Al Neri on a cold, wintry day.

Game 84 Thread: July 5 @ Snakes, 6:40p

Wade, Miley!
Nathan Eovaldi (0-5, 4.61) vs. Wade Miley (9-4, 2.87)

One day after Billy Ray Cyrus invaded Dodger Stadium and butchered the National Anthem and GBA, the Dodgers head to Arizona to take on the guy who can't escape Miley Cyrus jokes. I've had it up to here with all these Cyrii!

Yet, Miley is an All-Star (I mean, yeah, Hannah Montana was a HUGE success! Sorry.), and the Dodgers have to counter with offense-inhibiting, run-allowing, winless Schleprock, Nathan Eovaldi. Despite the struggling D-Backs getting swept by the lowly Padres, I'm not feeling too confident about maintaining that half-game hold on first place.

So, uh...Go Nats! Beat the Gnats!
