Get a load of this right wing nut job pitching for the Dodgers. All the more reason to support the Giants...

Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen is now promoting 'prophet of God' who took credit for Jan. 6 riots

Yikes!

Blake Treinen is, on a roster full of Cy Young winners and candidates, arguably the Los Angeles Dodgers’ most consistent pitcher this year. The 33-year-old flamethrower recorded a 1.99 ERA during the regular season, and on Monday night, he didn’t allow a hit in his one inning of work during Monday night’s 1-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

When Treinen gets home from his day job, he does what many others do: He posts on social media. The difference is he’s now using his Instagram, which has 14,000 followers, to promote the website of a self-proclaimed “prophet of God” who has a history of outlandish claims.

Treinen has previously reposted right-wing memes and anti-vaccine content on his Instagram. But his latest Instagram bio linkage, to a website for a Criss Angel Mindfreak lookalike named Robin Bullock, verges even further into fringe territory.

...

Bullock believes that Barack Obama was actually removed from office in 2010, contrary to everyone else’s understanding that Obama served as president through 2016. Bullock has separately concluded that “homosexuality is a cover-up for an evangelist,” meaning a secret spirit is preventing gay people from repenting and then embracing evangelism.

Takes all kinds... to lose a series...

However, the bad news is that by the second inning, LA is ahead of SF, 2-0.

Shame that the two best teams in baseball's fate has to be decided in a five game series.

Bad day.

4 BoSox > 1 TB

Your city let me down, GoCubsGo.
1 SF > 4 LAD (barely)
2 Mil > 3 Atl (ut-oh)

Yep. I'm 7-9 games, 1-2 series .

Yup, this Thursday in SF. I'm sure whatever they call the new stadium in SF will be packed full. Hopefully it will be broadcast locally as well.

Final score was 5-1 LA.

We'll see what the final series game brings.

It's all good, even if LA wins (and I hate LA)...

Dang, the last LA-SF game is tomorrow but no local channel is broadcasting it.

But TBS is covering it. Which means I might have to plug in that Roku thing and see if it can fetch it for 0 $.

More good stuff from ESPN on the SF-LA matchup...

SAN FRANCISCO -- — Everybody expected a playoff series for the ages between the century-old rival Dodgers and Giants, and now they've got it.

Anything less than a winner-take-all Game 5 would have been a baseball travesty, leaving the sport short-changed on the October stage.

It's the 107-win, NL West champion Giants vs. the defending World Series champ Los Angeles Dodgers for a place in the NL Championship Series against Atlanta starting Saturday night.

It all comes down to Game 5 on Thursday night, back at the San Francisco's Oracle Park after the Dodgers staved off elimination with a 7-2 victory at home Tuesday night.

Playoff series for the ages as Dodgers, Giants go to Game 5

PS-Tickets for this game are starting at $155. So, no, I won't be going to it. LOL. But I probably can catch a play-by-play online. Free.

You've missed the whole series, why start now?

Plus, you'll need a subscription.

Doesn't matter, he's still flummoxed at hooking up the Roku via the left phalange through the coy pond and uplinked to the DVR via the VHS.
