NPUT ALDS Games Two
Hard enough for me to read about it the next day, can’t imagine the agony of watching it live. Oh well, didn’t count on sweeping them in any event. Hopefully Miller to the rescue and could use some lumber as well.
Both our radio guys and the TBS guys commented on how shattered and dejected Kershaw looked when he got off the field and into the dugout.
I hope we can come back and he gets another shot to pitch and redeem himself, because if not he may decide to retire.
It was awful to see him like that.
Roberts says he’ll start Game Four. Left unsaid was “we have to win at least one to get that far.”
A lot to put on a rookie’s pitching shoulders…
David St. Hubbins checks in! https://twitter.com/MJMcKean/status/1710866922278117379
I’m going to walk the dog, in order to get something to happen.
Two out rally time
Dodgers saving themselves for Monday apparently
The 1959 Dodgers lost the first game of the 1959 World Series 11-0, and then went on to win the Series in six (6) games.
Dodgers lost the first two games to the Yankees in the 1955 WS.
Did the same thing in the ’81 series, I think.
Glad this is a 5 game series and not a 3.
Yes, although I am expecting a win tonight.
For USC?
Somebody.
UCLA won.
Unfortunately it was against Washington State.
Oregon St winning against CAl
One hour after first p;itch and the Dodgers are about to get their second at bats.
I need more wine. and chocolate. Fortunately, you can only lose one game a day.
This is the ugliest game of the year. But you can see how much it hurts the teams that have to sit for a week. All but the dreaded Astros have lost.

My heart is breaking for our guy.
It ain’t over, and I’m not signing off.
Oh me neither. But Kershaw’s face looked shattered.
Outman butchers one. Not an error, but a misplay.
Kimbrel? Seriously?
I don’t have a strong preference between Barves and Fillies, but I want the series to go the full five, with an 18-inning finale.
Nine down, inning nine.
Two is better than none…
Okay! Two runs!
So, matters did not improve during the dog walk.
Five runs in the 8th and five in the ninth?
Make that six.
Thanks Ump. Like we really need balls called for strikes…
Steiner and Monday are as stunned as we are.
With Steiner, how can you tell?

Peralta gets it going…
We could get three runs an inning, for three innings, right? Right?
Starting with a 2 out rally
When does Rojas get to pitch.
Anyone watch the other games today? Were they this painful for the home teams?
They were a lot closer. Different kind of pain.
Yeah I’m in pain but not tense.
Unfortunately, not for the Trashtros.
Get it out of your systems D-backs. Tomorrow, Tomorrow is just two days away.
How bad can it get?
Please stop asking.
Holy cow.
Lets get an out
Hmm. This is unusual Kershaw.
None of the hits has been cheap.
¡Miércoles!
Barves fans are shaming themselves.
These games have 3am starts for me here in Italy, so with you guys in spirit. Go Azure!
What time do the bars close, if ever?
Visiting my sister-in-law who lives in a small village along the shores of Lake Cuomo, so none of that tourism hotspot up-all-night stuff for me (dang).
I had lunch on the northern coast of Lake Como once, way back in 1984. One of about 150 places I’d like to have gotten back to in my traveling life.
From three days ago during that simulated game at Dodger Stadium:
