Whoops, we forgot to put up a Series Thread for this series. Nothing to see here, except the Dodgers clinching the NL West for the fifth consecutive year on Friday night (4-2), then dropping the middle game vs. Ashley Madison (1-2), and then winning Sunday's matinee behind Clayton Kershaw's 18th victory and a rare Yasmani Grandal piece of offense (2-run HR in the fourth). Dodgers win today 3-1 and take the series.
Six regular-season games to go.

In the dead of winter, there's not much baseball to talk about. So we turn our gaze upon ourselves.
