101 Things #DODGERS

It wasn't a good strike three call. And I do think that's a shame.
I will be compartmentalizing that feeling from the other feelings I'm having right now. Honestly, it has tempered my postgame celebration, but not my joy or relief.

It's hard to say I'd rather have seen that called a ball than strike three, but already the intensity of the reaction is overdoing it for me.
It was a bad call at a bad time. It's bad for history. But if it becomes all we talk about from this series and this game, that's worse.

If you want to talk about injustice to the Giants, or for that matter to the Dodgers, it's that they had to play each other in the conference semifinals to begin with. Each team deserved better, and this would only have been Game 5 of 7. But we've had to let that go.

Things to talk about instead: Absolutely tenacious pitching by both the Giants and the Dodgers. The combo punch by the Dodgers in the top of the sixth and the haymaker in response by Ruf in the bottom. Justin's HBP. Lux's two-strike single. Cody's heroics. Thrills on every pitch.
