"Frustrating" is the kindest word that comes to mind when I think about this playoff series, so far. I'm frustrated. Dodger fans everywhere are frustrated. And I'm certain the Dodgers in the clubhouse are frustrated by their missed chances. Per Todd Zolecki at MLB.com:
"We had opportunities, we've got to take full advantage of it," (Cody) Bellinger said. "We've still got a lot of room left to improve."
But they don't have a lot of time to do it.There's no reason to lose hope now, but maybe just a little bit of desperation will help.

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1949 the Brooklyn Dodgers elect to not renew the contract of Dodger President Branch Rickey. He would soon join the Pirates the following season. In 1985 Jack Clark of the Cardinals created one of my worst memories as a Dodger fan. He belted a come-from-behind two-out, three-run home run in the ninth inning off of Dodger reliever Tom Niedenfuer to take the National League pennant. Watch it here if you must.
