"The #Dodgers were deflated, decimated and desperate for one reason, any reason, to continue clutching to the fraying fringes of a season.

Chris Taylor gave them three." - @BillPlaschke

"Hold the eulogy. Keep the lights on. Clear your weekend. This #NLCS lives.

Trailing 3 games to 1 and on the verge of elimination, the #Dodgers used a historic three home runs by Taylor on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium to pound out an 11-2 victory."

It’s also pretty legendary, as Taylor became the first player in major league history to hit three home runs in an elimination game.

“This is why you play the game. ... These are moments we’re going to look back on for the rest of our lives, and it’s pretty cool,” said Taylor.
"The entire night was special for so many reasons, @BillPlaschke reminds us. "Struggling AJ Pollock added two home runs. Ancient Albert Pujols threw in two hits. Six Dodgers relievers threw 8 1/3 scoreless innings.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The Dodgers still trail three games to two and need to sweep both games in Atlanta this weekend to survive and advance to their fourth World Series in five years.

The odds are still stacked against them.

But the Dodger have been in this spot before, says @dylanohernandez

"At the same stage of the postseason last year, the Braves were ahead, three games to one. The Dodgers won the next three games and went on to win the World Series."

Before COVID-19, it was typical for yacht broker Trenton Carroll to have up to $10 million worth of inventory at any given time.

Now he rarely has anything in stock.

@byandreachang reports on the booming demand for yachts: latimes.com/business/story…
“We can’t get boats fast enough,” said Carroll, who has been in the business for two decades.

“I’ve got boats sold out to 2023...people are willing to wait because they know there’s nothing else around.” latimes.com/business/story…
When the first wave of COVID-19 lockdowns went into effect, the yacht business tanked for a few weeks but quickly rebounded as Americans turned to all manner of outdoor activities to pass the time. latimes.com/business/story…
