GDT 10/3/13: Dodgers (Kershaw) @ Braves (Medlen) - NLDS Game 1 - 8:30 PM

Banjo hitters swinging 2-0?

Bleeders falling in?

Outfielders throwing to the wrong base?

I picked the wrong day to stop snorting cocaine.

Aces don't just grow on trees.
I understand that, and I'm still holding out hope Teheran turns into one. But right now we're also in a National League with the Cardinals and Dodgers who have legit aces. So anytime we make the playoffs, odds are we're going to have to play one of them in the NLDS, and beating them is going to be extremely tough. And the Cardinals have Miller, Wacha, and Carlos Martinez on the way. So even when Wainwright starts to slow down, odds are the Cardinals will still have at least one true/legit ace in one of one or two of those three. Haven't seen enough of Martinez to really say, but Miller at least looked great at home and Wacha looked really good in his limited time in the bigs.

And obviously Kershaw is going to be around for awhile. So when we're having to throw a Medlen or Minor or Beachy out for game 1 against a Kershaw or Wainwright or Miller or Wacha for the foreseeable future, winning a playoff series and getting off to a good start in a playoff series (game 1 win) is going to always be tough. I know that's a lot of speculation, but it's a very real possibility.
 
I'm assuming it reflects poorly on me, as a person, that I'm hoping Magic Johnson gives all the Dodgers rapid-onset HIV?

Least then they could play the song "everyone has aids" before each at-bat.
