Chris Capuano (1-0, 5.40) vs. Zack Greinke (1-1, 6.75).
Capster hasn't been the hallmark of longevity this year for the Dodgers. In his first inning, he didn't escape the fifth inning in San Diego, forcing the Dodgers into extra-inning heroics to win the game. In his second outing, Capster lasted 5 1/3 innings--two outs more than his first start--giving up 2 ER and dropping his ERA from 7.71 to 5.40. With fellow new starter Aaron Harang punching out a career high 13 last week, could Capster match his own career high with 12 Ks tonight (he beat the Indians' CC Sabathia that day)? Not if Chris can't get through the fourth inning, that's for sure; returning to Miller Park to face his former teammates, Capster better not play the klutz.
And as we know, the Dodgers have not won a single game all year outside of California.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee is pulling out all the stops to make sure that the Brewers get another win today. Not only are they starting potential free-agent-to-be Greinke; they're also offering a five-county promotion: Residents of Ozaukee, Washington, Waukesha, Racine and Milwaukee Counties can purchase half-price tickets for all reserved seats except the Miller Lite Beerpen, All-Inclusive areas and the $1 Uecker Seats (subject to availability). Roll out the barrel (or I'll polka out your eyes)!
UPDATE 5:22p: Hey look, MLB.com GameDay now has "scout", which will tell you insightful things like this!
No shit, scout! (Kemp proceeded to single Ellis in to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.)

Hope to Dodgers don't lose. That would be the wurst.
+1
Pirates beat the Snakes 2-1
Say what you will about LA having bad fans but I don't ever remember twitter blowing up with racist remarks about Kuroda when he had a bad start.
also, apparently many new yorkers think his name is Hideki Kuroda and he is Chinese.
Dusty Baker has a tiny head!
Wait, what?
Is this game live,tape delayed or Memorex?
Collins and Lyons. Dagnabbit.
You were expecting Phil Rizzuto?
Mellis triple!
Kemp RBI! 1-0 Dodgers!
FYFST
UPDATED post with real-time MLB.com GameDay idiocy
Nice 1st by Capuano.
Remind me never to say something obvious in front of Sax.
I'm expecting Jerry Coleman to suck balls.
TGJ guns down Ramirez at 2nd!
SNIPER
Right off Ethier's glove for a double....
That's our gold glove!
Tie game.
Fack.
I hate that shit when we give up a run then get an easy out right after to end the inning.
BOOOOOO!
Hey, Josh is back!
Both pitchers will be leading off the third.
This is the first time I've ever seen a Miller High Life banner ad behind home plate. Cc: rbnlaw
Too many damn doubles.
I don't know why but I just really don't like Capuano.
That wasn't so bad.
I call a Loney homer here.
heh
I let my guard down for one little minute, and the undesirables sneak back in.
I really need to do a post about how bad the Dodgers radio pre-game is since moving to AM570.
Hairston scores. (BOOO!)
2-1 Doyers.
Well, we finally know the scale of the Drysdale/Wills bobblehead.
Did the organist really play the Gilligan's Island theme when Dee was up?
and epale, yall
Epale, FB!
Greinke double?
And Weeks walks
I didn't catch the Gilligan song. I was listening to Richard Cheese.
Come on Cap.
Hey, we're winning!
Wait, what's this?
he's much better than Collins
My heart skipped a beat on that fly out.
Collins, the guy who asked Steve Lyons last night if a catcher uses the same grip on the baseball that a pitcher does
nice work, Cap
Let's hope Cap can last the sixth.
NPUT with a screencap of the bobblehead commercial.
Y WE NO CAN KNOCK OUT STARTERZ?
NOOOOOOOO!
Maybe that's why I don't like him.
damndamndamn
Ramirez fucking killed that ball.
Close game headed into the late innings on the road. I gotta bad feeling about this.
Poopie.
that pitch was pretty low too
Cap is allergic to the sixth.
that chinstrap makes his face look really weird
That could have been better, but it could have been worse.
Now let's get six runs.
^
60
How do Dre and Kemp knock in 6 runs in one inning if they bat back to back? Gotta be a way.
i call a homerun here for Loney.
It's gotta work someday.
No local coverage for the kings game tonight?
BOO!!
maybe ubragg can figure that out
Isn't Greinke at like 200 pitches?
maybe take a pitch?
Loney is definitely sitting tomorrow
Loney at .176 BA. At this rate, he'll never get to Mendoza
I think Ned thought he signed Scott Hairston
heh good one, Saxy
is it me or is it really quiet there in Milwaukee?
good walk, TGJr
TGJ walks to set up AJE.
That was close..not
GAH DAMN YOU TGJ
no way
sadly, Donnie won't stop running them. I bet he thinks it will all average out and we'll start being safe soon
URINE!
nice catch, not-Scott
A *ahem* quality start for Cap. Two runs in six innings.
Lindbloooooom.
Josh Lindblom wants you to know that he's better than Jamey Wright.
I wonder why F-Rod never caught on?
Wasn't he K-Rod back in the day? seriously I totally forgot about the fucker (FRod).
Dee's on base.
fix yo sleeve, Krod!
Yes, walk Mellis to get to Kemp. You know you want to.
Kemp Time!
Come on, dammit
let's go DODGERS
Sax's use of capitalization will surely motivate the team.
RIP Dick Clark
that looked outside ump
Remind me not to use caps in front of Mr LA SC (sorry; mr la sc)
DAMMIT
FUCK
Fuck.
Fuck.
Look like it will be up to Loney next inning.
Hahahahahaha...cries.
Yeah they can hit.
That is a sad sad MVP chant.
Lindblom has Carlos Gomez 1-2 and lets him single to leadoff the eighth.
Not liking this
JOSH LINDBLOM GIVE UP SINGLE HE SUCK HAR HAR HAR RACISM
Ajellis with the gun!
troll?
Can we get some runs please?
On to the ninth! See you on the other side, i have to go
later sax
D'Artagnan on the mound! I mean John Axford.
Axford looks like a member of the Flaming Menudos in 1978.
I'll be standing in for Sax for the rest of the way.
Loney, you suck.
KINGS!
Hey, Joe Biden's in Phoenix.
I think Axford was an extra on Justified
ONJ!
I wouldn't buy a cell phone from Axeford, or Collins, especially not Lyons
Hoping for extras.
Epale everyone!
hope the Dodgers win, this has been a crappy day
karina! just in time!
Epale, Karina! You're our good-luck charm!
KENLEY JANSEN PITCHING NINTH HE SUCK HAR HAR HAR WHO DODGER CLOSER AGAIN?
Is that a bear hitting?
Bear flys out. Come Janley Kanson!
Eric Collins, do shut up!
I mean Junley Kansen!
FREE BASEBALL
Nice job heir to the closer throne.
Kings did a pretty good job withstanding that barrage.
please win this before we have to pitch Jamey Wright
I remember back when I only had faith we could score if Manny was due up. Insert Kemp and Dre now.
i don't know what's worse? The Dodgers losing in the ninth or extra innings with Collins and Lyons.
I'll gladly trade a Dodger loss for a Kings win.
We can hit this guy. Oh wait Kennedy is up.
Kameron Loe? Isn't he from the Valley?
Nearly Dead Kennedy will get us going
Kennedy just looks so defeated.
That felt like a Holiday in Cambodia.
Is Kennedy wearing an old Broxton jersey?
What a shot! I'll take it.
Ajellis gets on base without a walk!
nice work, AJ!
Cmon, Juan!
I'm annoyed
Dammit, Rivera.
great
that's not very good
gotta make it to the 11th so Matty can bat again
This feels like a loss. Or maybe gas.
Yep, it's the gas.
Nothing like blowing your pen for a loss in extras.
Oh, and to top it off it's an early start tomorrow.
Collins did not explain that double switch very well.
Luke Roy has been killing us.
Collins did not explain that EVERYTHING very well.
OH THANK GOD JUST WHAT I WANTED ADAM KENNEDY TO STAY IN THE GAME
No walkies, dammit!
Lead off walk. We are in trouble.
This is a loss.
(cries)
The pinch runner is in to run? You don't say, Lyons.
Thanks, Cesar!
but but but this is the new Matt Guerrier, the one who was trying so hard to impress last year after he got his big contract and this year he'll be better because he isn't or something
LOLBunts.
Back in my day,pitchers would pitch twenty innings in a game,drink a keg of beer after, then start the second game of a double header the next day.
This is what, Collins' fourth season? He still sounds out of place to me.
oh fuck
Yep. Loss.
And Ajellis just about throws away the game.
but what kind of beer?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
(sobs)
Has anyone pointed out yet that Kennedy has more buttons on his uniform unbuttoned than buttoned?
Burgermeister
Damn it all!
I want seven infielders!!!!
Fuck stay away from the mound Donny!
more optimism, gents! (though i suspect my hameday is way behind)
Capuano threw this game away when he gave up a mammoth HR to a guy hitting sub-Loney.
Empty net time.
There's no way this can possibly fail.
Roenicke is a wiener
Huh?
Fucking Kottaras.
BOOOOOO!!!
Collins shit his pants.
Walk him.
*
K now just get the double play. It is sooooo easy.
How could this possibly go wrong?
why do you walk Weeks if you don't care if he steals 2nd? to load the bases to set up an actual double play?
HE WAS OUT!
Kings give up a goal and dodgers lose.
That's how.
Matty didn't set up that throw very well
He tagged his ass before he crossed the plate.
Pretty weak ass throw from kemp.
AJEllis, this one is on you.
Should've won both of these games. Motherfucker.
I hate all ball players with the last name Morgan!
ASS
