    Magic number now 1, and they are 4.5 games ahead of the Giants. Kershaw pitching tomorrow. Life is good.

    Kershaw with a two out RBI triple to tie the game. MVP!

    4-1 Dodgers. They're blowing up the Giants now. Couldn't pick a better team to beat for this one.

    Why do runners challenge Puig's arm?

    Great win. I'm going to try to score some playoff tix!

    The Giants are going to win it all by dispatching of the Pirates, Nats, Dodgers, and Angels and subsequently ruining this board's collective day.

    I just cant wrap my mind around the possibility/fact that he is as good as Koufax. I read a factoid today that his career era against the Giants is the lowest era of any meaningful starter against any one team.

    He has said he does not like being compared to Koufax. I think that's premature, because so much can happen (e.g., an arthritic elbow). I just enjoy watching a truly great pitcher at work. He's also a good guy by all accounts. Easy to cheer for.

    Just saw a tweet that Kershaw is the first pitcher in major league history to give up 7 plus runs in consecutive postseason starts. So I guess he isn't Koufax after all.

    Mattingly is starting Puig on the bench today. C'mon guys, I want the Giants to face you in the NLCS!

    Why is it that Giants fans are always thinking about the Dodgers?

    He has to get that post-season monkey off his back. I'm sure his belly flops in those games drive him crazy.

    Wow. What a season for him, and what a season it might have been -- if he hadn't saved his worst pitching ever for the post-season.
