Orlando Cepeda has died. Gnats are biting the dust.
Heck of a ball player.
From the days before they became the Gnats.
I bet you and John McGraw would have gotten along famously.
Gnasty, but gnot a Gnat.
Bada-Banda!!
Ok. Got out of it.
Need that third out here Knack.
Shoot. Didn’t get through 5.
He needs to work with the conditioning coach. Runs out of gas in the 5th.
Giants have hit for the cycle now tonight.
The BALCO Flaxseed Oil shipment arrived between innings, apparently.
shoot
Come on Freddie. Keep it going here.
Where there's a Will, there's a way.
A Dilly Pop.
Will!!
Up to Mr. Smith
WP > Sac Bunt
Ok. Get G-Lux home from third now.
Lux!!
Rojas got a hit! Keep the streak alive Dodgers!
Knack is dealing.
JHey not sharp there.
This ump is pathetic.
And not getting any better.
Webb-Steroids is the most loathsome of the current Gnats.
Was Confarto"s 3B well-hit?
Well enough.
No eyes. Did he get hit or no?
Rojas made a nice catch.
Sorry. I was referring to Smith. I was wondering if he did get hit by the pitch or no?
Ahmed answers Rojas.
Catch you guys in a few innings
Rojo!!

Well, better be swinging if it is close. I hope we get those calls.
And then the 3rd. Ohtani got hosed.
No eyes here but, according to Gameday, all three pitches were out of the zone.
Yep. He fouled off the 2nd pitch.
And the ump misses the first freaking pitch.

On the Schadenfreude front, Gnats brightened the off-day by letting their worst reliever pitch the tenth against Cubbies, and lost 5-3. Twinkies defanged Snakes 13-6, while Fryers were idle.
Umpire last night was terrible.

Freddie might have touched it.
Freddie's had a rough night.
Against a washed-up hitter.
What a load of crap. 2nd pitch was a strike called a ball. He should have been struck out.
Treinen got squeezed on several pitches.
Unacceptable. MLB needs to fix this. They have the technology. Use it.
The rare time when you can be thankful for a blackout.
The streak is over. Start a new one Miggy Ro.
I need to walk the dog.
That’s that. Sorry WBB.
Boo
So lame.
Ump!
Nope, he didn’t.
Nice futuring.
My eyes did not decieve me.
Neither can the ump.
Blake can’t find the zone.
Lead off walk on 4 pitches.
Ball 2 was a strike.
Ohtani will get a chance to extend his RBI streak if we can hold them in the 9th.
The Gnats will IBB him.
Well they did what they had to do.
Did Randy Heliot have a chance to catch Pages' ball?
Yes. Off the glove I think.
Don't stop now!
Tie game!
Woot! Tie game!
JHey!
¡Pages!
Pages!!!
Andy! Triple threat!
Okay Dodgers, Miggy says you gotta win this one.
Miggy might have to do it himself.
Slip sliding away.
¡Un viernes de miércoles!
Rats.
Time for some early fireworks.
Muncy cannot get back soon enough.
I've had enough of Biggio. He stinks.
Rats!! Well, I didn't think 2 runs would win this game.
Against the Gnats, it should.
Petty said it best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNMT4AYf6Xo
Hudson blew that pitch.
Phoo. Right down the middle.
DP? No, pop fly.

On blackout day, this was a fun piece to read. https://x.com/AlexSimonSports/status/1806719091799122081

In other news, I passed up a chance to attend this game. https://x.com/BSmile/status…
Bummer. Why did you pass?
Nobody told me it was gonna be a no-no.
Why would you pass up a chance to go see the Dodgers?
I used to see them with some frequency at Candlestick, but couldn't go to every game.
