    change isn’t always good
    nor do we have to accept what we don’t agree with
    just because we’re adaptable doesn’t mean we have to be complacent lemmings
    you call it fear because you’re afraid of people who don’t fall into line with what they oppose
    others call it integrity

    i don’t care what people do as long as they’re not hurting others
    i do, however, have a problem with people shoving their beliefs in others faces and then telling us we need to be compassionate for people who chose to be who they are
    so sick of the entitlement and people playing the victim card
    and btw the “i interact with transgender people all the time” line is right up there with the “i have a lot of black friends” line people used to say in the 60’s
    you say change, but you’re perpetuating the same disingenuous bullshit from 60 years ago
    maybe eugene oneill was right… there is no present or future, only the past repeating itself
    you should check and see if they stock his work in that bookstore of yours

    Gomer saved their asses in 1965. Dodgers were down 2-0 and he threw a CG shutout.

    my so called bookstore is real
    unlike whatever you on about
    we arent talking about what you like or what you dont like
    next time try not to move the goalposts
    we were talking about dave and about leadership
    and how its about healing and not being a obsessed with your image
    being obsessed with your reputation and your image turns you into a tyrant
    the dodgers tyrant is the guy at the top
    not the mascot made to draw aggro from yesterdays demographic

    i only want to have good things to say about you irish
    like every other time ive talked about you
    never gonna attack or fight with you
    never have never will

    the fact that instead of encouragement all i get is derision from you says a lot more to me than what your book recommendation could
    i would be very happy for you in any of your endeavors
    i have had nothing but good cheer for you
    but you do whatever you feel that is going to help you with your health

    I wanna see Kersh's magical season continue. Little concerned though, that this seems like the type of game the offense will take off. Inferior opponent, Padres have dropped a couple games, they'll expect CK to shut it down... I can totally see them think they can coast to a W. Of course, the manager will just perpetuate the general apathy and complacency. I hope I'm wrong. Dodgers really need to keep motivated all month. This "easier" part of their month should not result in losing 2 of any 3 like they did against Arizona. Padres also have a softer schedule right now and could easily put together a win streak to retake first. Let alone that Philly is winning and there's the bye at stake.

    Im of an odd mind on this playoff issue.

    Whatever happens, so be it. Obviously I hope LA wins it all. But I'm not hopeful... that said, and it hurts to admit this, but here's goes ...

    Frisco won 3 in 5yrs & once as WC in 2014. If LA wants to be considered the team of the century (thus far) then they ought to have to fight for it. Scuffle. Bite & scratch. Be under the radar dor a change.

    I have my issues with the politics of baseball to be sure, but maybe the Dodgers need to suffer a bit and stop being postseason bitches.

    If Philthy tops them & LA faces a hot team... well ... that's justice. If Roberts hadn't FAFO those season, maybe LA would be up 5 wins instead of two down.

    It's not all math. It's the balance of 162 games.

    Game.

    Kershaw is not on today. But the first three Dodgers went down just as expected. All three swinging for the fences. Pittsburg is being patient and already doing all the little things. Oh well, I get to have my evening free.

    I guess we're not going to get tbe answer about why didn't Mookie throw the ball to first base, eh?
    Because he's a right fielder ?
    I guess I don't understand the Dodgers any more.
    Not at all.

    Can't anyone throw strikes or put a hitter with two strikes? Eight walks and a wild pitch against one of the world hitting teams on the planet. Bloops don't hurt if you're not passing out bases on balls like free cheese.

    Kershaw gets a pass because he's been so good lately and pitched very well after his first inning disaster. First major hiccup for Enriquez. Treinen hangs a two strike breaking ball and more of the same for Yates. At least Yates was a one year deal (unlike Scott).

    Good to see the slumping Teo, Will and Sho break out. Will had some exceptional ABs. Best in weeks. If you blinked you missed Shohei's HR. That was a blur.

    Downside was they were only 2-10 RISP and only scored one with the bases loaded and no one out in the second. Get well soon, Max. Freeland looks overmatched more often than not. He accounted for three of the Dodgers' six Ks.

    Not much comfort, but the Pads shit themselves against the O's. Dodgers aren't the only ones struggling against the dregs of the game.

    Yeah, unfortunately Freeland ,who I had great hopes for, is playing out as another Outman so far. He does play a pretty slick IF wherever they stick him, and seems to know innately where and when to throw the ball, unlike those who have been around for like a decade and are "learning" at their position. Teo got his fortnight frequency RBI, but he is worse than a nervous LLer out there. When he catches one at all, I want act like Steve Martin in ' Father of the Bride' when his grandson (?) accidently caught a fly ball. The OF gloves generally look unpolished and tentative. Call appears weird too.
    If Teo ever gets his O back, imo,( doubtful he ever duplicates last year?), he will always be a straight up liability out there. If he drives in one, he'll give up two. In fact, just like last night. The odds are loser odds
    Smith and Ohtani were great to see.
    Team can't seem to coordinate good O and D and pitching for any length of time at all.
    Just don't have it.
    And a stubborn, ignorant person doomed to repeat the worst of history possible in charge.
    As in my left side of the Atlantic family, a big fucking stunada...
    I know he's not from Calabria, so not a Calabrese.
    A baka bomb.

    They originated as Dixie Dregs but I saw them in a club as just The Dregs. Steve Morse on guitar, and he replaced Blackmore in Deep Purple ... so yeah. Pretty good band.
