The Dodgers blinked first. The Dodgers blinked furiously. The Dodgers blinked recklessly.

The Dodgers blinked so rapidly, their season has been rendered red and swollen and beyond painful.

The #Dodgers dropped Game 2 in a sloppy 5-3 defeat, erring on the mound, at the plate, in the field and on the bases to let the #Padres turn this #NLDS into a brand-new series.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
In the sixth inning of Game 2, the score was tied, the roar was deafening, the showdown was set, something had to give.

It was the Dodgers. They gave, and gave, and gave.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
They gave Padres the go-ahead run after a booted grounder by Trea Turner, then gave themselves up on four late failed late rallies to eventually lose in a series that is now evened at one game apiece.

“We weren’t clean,” manager Dave Roberts said after the game.

“Now it’s a three-game series,” shortstop Trea Turner said. “Kind of like a regular-season series, with a little bit more intensity.”

The excitement over the Dodgers’ resilient Game 1 victory now indeed fades into worry over what comes next. Whatever happens, the Dodgers will have to be better than they were in the final hours of a sullen Wednesday night.

And with Games 3 and 4 shifting to San Diego on Friday and Saturday, the Dodgers’ margin for error is about to get razor thin.

The recent leak of a recording that exposed some of Los Angeles’ top officials making racist comments has rocked L.A. But City Hall is no stranger to scandal.

Here’s a quick refresher of some of the most memorable scandals in recent history⬇️ latimes.com/california/sto…
Last year, City Councilmember Mark Ridley-Thomas was indicted along with a former USC dean on federal charges that he took bribes from the dean in exchange for directing millions in public funding to the university. latimes.com/california/sto…
In 2020, a L.A. police officer sued the city, alleging that he was repeatedly sexually harassed by one of Mayor Eric Garcetti's top advisors.

The suit claims that Garcetti witnessed some of the inappropriate behavior.

The mayor denies the claims. latimes.com/california/sto…

Scanning all the media coverage of the leaked City Council audio — which at this moment seems poised to join Nixon’s Watergate tapes in the annals of recording infamy — it’s hard to decide which sections might be the most appalling, writes @cmonstah.

latimes.com/entertainment-…
The conversation is grotesque — a furnace blast of racist tropes and unvarnished political sausage-making. It also surfaces a roiling debate about the nature of Latino identity and the blinkered ways that identity has historically been defined and wielded.
latimes.com/entertainment-…
For one, the us-versus-them framing of Black & Latino political interests actively overlooks — erases — the fact that Latinos can be Black & Black people can be Latino. (Latino is a loose ethnicity, not a race, & the African diaspora spans the Americas.)

Garrett Adelstein is one of poker’s top and most profitable high-stakes cash players.

On Sept. 29, Adelstein made the biggest bet of his life when he accused rookie player Robbi Jade Lew of cheating in a $269,000 hand against him on “Hustler Casino Live.” latimes.com/business/story…
Adelstein told @byandreachang he is “extremely confident” that he was the target of a cheating ring involving not just Lew but other players and at least one member of the show’s production crew.

He is conducting his own investigation to prove his case.
latimes.com/business/story…
Without concrete evidence, the bombshell allegation has roiled the poker community.

The fallout has been severe, with Adelstein and Lew each facing bitter character attacks and questions about their motives.

Adelstein hasn’t played poker since. latimes.com/business/story… Image

Credit cards and digital payment apps such as PayPal offer some distinct advantages over cash, including the ability to recover money paid to scammers.

But #Zelle, a digital payment network owned by seven major banks, isn’t so protective of its users.

latimes.com/business/techn…
If you use Zelle to pay someone who proves to be a fraud, you have only a slim chance of recovering the money from your bank. The same is true if you send money to the wrong person. If you hit Send, the money is probably gone.

latimes.com/business/techn…
"I think [Zelle is] growing in popularity with scammers because it has some significant advantages from their perspective," said Kevin Roundy, senior technical director of the internet security company NortonLifeLock in Culver City.
