aaaaand it's now 4-4 

Leave it to the Giants, their bitter rivals to help them get back on the win column...

I'm heading to bed. I hope to wake up to see them with another big fat loss in the morning.

Never fear, the Dogs struggles continue with an 8-6 loss to the Giants.

16 losses in 17 games

Don't look now Dogs, but the Nats are only 3.5 games back and the Indians are just 4 games back for best record.

Dodger game ended at 2:10 am with another loss, their 11th in a row. Worst losing streak since the team arrived in Los Angeles in 1958.

The second rain delay was almost three hours long, and the game resumed at 10:50 pm in the top of the first inning.

I hate the Dodgers as much as the next guy, but this rain delay stuff with games resuming in the first inning nearly 4 hours after the game is supposed to start isn't good for baseball, or these teams.  What are the odds this game means anything at the end of the season.  Sure if the Dodgers lose 16 of their last 19 it might mean something, but at some point they are going to win a few games.

You shouldn't assume everyone here hates the Dodgers

He didn't. He said he hates them as much as the next guy, which is me. 

That means he hates them a lot.

They continued played last night because the two teams couldn't agree on when to play a make up game. The Dodgers obviously didn't have a problem with it, so why is it bad for baseball or the teams? If they were truly concerned, they could have agreed to a make up day. 

Also, this game has a very good chance of meaning something in regards to which team gets home field advantage in the playoffs

Congrats.

not even scoring the most runs in a game in a month could carry the dogs to a win.  

they lost to the Giants, who had been out scored 21-2 in their last 2 games by the CWS, the worst team in the AL.

Dodger talk radio is priceless these days. Their fans are melting down like I've never seen a playoff team melt down before

that's because trumbo is out of position in right field. he really needs to be at 3B.

[Angel Oracle]

Is Dodger Lodge panicking?

[fan_since79]

Phillies thought they had a walk-off win in the 9th and were celebrating on the field, then the call was overturned and the runner ruled out at the plate.

In the 15th inning, they did walk off with a double.

Rhys Hoskins had two more home runs, giving him 16 in only 112 at-bats since his career started on August 12th. Insane.

[Taylor]

Welp, the Dodgers' losing streak is over. It was fun while it lasted.

[Troll Daddy]

 Baseball has become a sport for girls ... Erstad would of knocked him on his ass at least 

 

[fan_since79]

LOL at Nick Hundley of the Giants against Jansen last night in the 9th with the bases loaded and two outs.

Three swinging strikes and that's the ballgame. Hundley is now 0-10 vs Jansen with 10 strikeouts. You'd think Bochy might have tried a pinch-hitter in that situation, down two runs? Nope.

I have it on good authority (people here) that only Sosh makes bad decisions.

Lol Jensen is the best closer in the game

[fan_since79]

Haha, Dodgers clinched a playoff spot with that win, but nobody seemed to be aware of it and there was no celebration afterwards.

(I tried to read the Times story but they put up a subscriber wall seconds after I found the article. I'm not giving them a cent.)

He did say 10 Ks in 10 at bats, that is bad in any book.

[Dick B Back]

Anyone notice KC grabbed Morin? Good luck with that Royals.
