MC2 Post 1697 Ozymandias -- Not Even Close To A Magic Number



LA Dodgers (First Place) Lose  


19-3 to the



San Francisco (Last Place) Giants


As The LA Times Put it:


The beating the Dodgers took Saturday at Dodger Stadium wasn’t as bad as the one Canelo Alvarez got in Las Vegas. It was worse.


Way worse.

 

Historically bad, in fact, with the Giants setting a Dodger Stadium record for runs in a 19-3 rout. The last time the Dodgers lost by that much at home they were still in Brooklyn and they had a rookie infielder named Jackie Robinson.

The Giants also coaxed six Dodger pitchers into giving up a season-high 22 hits while the Giants’ Hunter Pence set a career high with seven runs batted in and teammate Brandon Belt added career highs of his own for hits (five) and RBIs (six).

They even played "Who's of First..."  on the Big Screen,

to help the Fans feel Good About Something.

 


So what's the big deal, LA's clinced (almost) the Western Division, right?

The Big Deal IS the Dodgers are chasing Atlanta for the "Home Field" Advantage in the Playoffs.  And this loss is a big step in the wrong direction with oh-so-few games left.

While regular (and dumb as dirt) networks struggle to be as relevant a daily newspaper. 

And
failing miserably.  The New Generation of  HBO, AMC and Showtime are trying to raise the bar higher.


I believe I actually heard (GASP!) poetry coming 
out of the mouths of some of the actors. 





 In fact, today's episode of  Breaking Bad is actually called 


 "Ozymandias".  Shelley's most famous short poem,


 in Prime Time?


 

How Dare they???

Last Season episode of  HBO's "The Newsroom" slipped in:


  "Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May....."  into the plotline.

 
The impudence.

 
I Like it.


Wingman.
