7/27 Gamethread: Giants vs. Dodgers

Well, well, well, look who it is again. It’s the fifth series between the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers, and, as we hit the No. 100 game mark on the season, these games become more and more meaningful.

If the Giants get swept, they’ll no longer be in first in the NL West. If the Giants sweep, they’ll have a five-game cushion with 60 games remaining.

So I would like to encourage them to Beat LA.
