It's been quite a run, and has now become a historical run at that.

been a great run for our guys. we still have to get better.

all this run has done is heaped expectations on us and put a huge bullseye on our back.
we need to play some good October baseball and come up with a ring....otherwise this run is meaningless and somewhat embarrassing to have w/o a WS.

Absolutely on fire, isn't it the best 50 game stretch in like 100+ years? Think I heard that on the radio the other day.

But I feel like they may getting hot a little too early. Feels like they may fizzle out just before we head into October.

I don't want to give too much credence to being hot either.

The Giants got abused at home by Cincy last year and escaped a sweep on a bobbled ground ball to 3rd.

Then went down 3-1 to the Cards.
They were more bipolar than hot.

My sincere hope is that if/when PUIG regresses...and when Matt Kemp is just blah on his return...we have enough pitching to get us a necessary win or to make momentum switch jerseys.

I'm ready for Clayton Kershiser

Kershaw and Grienke is about as good a 1-2 punch as you can get in the playoffs.

Yea. The Phils said that with Doc n Cliff in 2011.

No beef though. I agree.
I trust them. I do not trust Donnie Beisbol.

It's really a good time to be a Dodgers fan and as one I am elated to see them currently beating up the Boston Red Sox. That is really encouraging. Best record since 1957. No team in the Majors has done what they have done in over 50 years. No wonder I don't remember them ever doing this good before - I wasn't even born yet :lol:

It's one of the great runs in history, but what will make the mark resonate is what happens the rest of the year.

How did that work out for you? Seriously though you should be very happy to be a Dodgers fan. They have done a great job turning around what could have been a horrible season.

Well we won the division now too, so we got that going for us... Which is nice.
