A packed house at Dodger Stadium. Not bad for everyone trying to get to Chavez Ravine at the height of LA rush hour. C'mon, TV...how about a 6 or 6:30 p.m. start?
A calmed down and most excellent outing from our third ace, Hyun-Jin Ryu. He pitched a masterpiece that I'm sure everyone back in Seoul enjoyed.

Adrian Gonzalez getting his batting groove back. Cardinal Adam Wainright was irritated by El Jaguar's hand explosions after he knocked in Mark Ellis with a double. Haha!
Hanley Ramirez back in the line up and doing what he does best. Manley busted two hits and knocked in a big run, all with a fractured rib.
Puig chilling out the plate and bashing the ball again. He missed a home run by a foot or two. He might have snatched an inside-the-park home run if he had been off and running on contact - instead of vogueing at the plate.
The Beard and bad-ass Kenley Jansen punching out the Cards in the final two innings. Boo-yah and Good Night little birds. Sweet.
Finally, a note to the TBS execs who chose the boring announcing crew for the TV broadcast - It should tell you something about your choice for announcers when your own post-game show uses Vin Scully's voice for the highlights of the game. Doncha think?
How about a 6 or 6:30 start? We East Coasters matter too, especially to the TV people. I can barely stay up for the end of an 8PM start, let alone a 9 or 9:30 start.
