Chris Capuano (4-0, 2.21) vs. Jamie Moyer (pictured above; 1-2, 4.01).
Capuano, who shares the team lead with Ted Lilly for wins, trails Lilly's rotation-leading ERA by a little less than a run. I can't believe I just wrote that last sentence. But anyway, Capster's pleasantly-surprising start has been impressive to date. He's gotten into the sixth inning in all of his starts but the first one, and he's been reasonably economical in his pitch count, staying under 110 pitches in each of his six starts this year. But Capster has never faced off against...Hans Moleman! (Actually, I have no idea if Capuano has ever faced off against Jamie Moyer--I think the answer is "no", but I don't know for sure.) Can Cap fight off the guy with the wrinkly face? I hope so.
Oh, and SoSG Alex Cora will be in attendance tonight (field level, third base side), trying to see if he can extend the SoSG attendance streak to 9-0. No pressure, AC.

"Janine! Sorry about the bug eyes thing."
The DC streak stops at 1.
Hairston goes to the DL, Sellers gets the call. Free tattoos for everyone!
Here you go, Marla: A DC-centric image relevant to tonight's pitching matchup.
is AJ out?
AJ is such a crappy catcher, he needs two straight days of rest.
epale everyone!
btw, not tonight Cargo, ok?
in the other hand, Comedulce (Bob Abreu) go and smash'em!
Clippers with the 6pm friday start? Brutal.
Too late, K. You mentioned Cargo's name, which automatically switches him into God Mode.
Juan Rivera ruptured hamstring. Dammit.
MDIL claims Cap usually pitches to Treanor.
On my own damn sofa, at long last, Vinny!
Marco Scutaro is leading off for the Rockies? How did people think these guys would be better than us?
There are no bats in the Rockies' lineup besides CarGo. Even Tulo has had a pedestrian season so far.
Of course, that just means Tulo will murder us.
Making a gin and tonic, Vinny!
Ha! I'll take that!
Saturday:
Preferred Field Box 45
Row E
Seats 4, 5, 6
$22 each plus assorted gouging fees!
(the K and the G&T)
See what I mean?
I think Dee should bunt.
Nomo, it ain't so *blushes*crosses fingers*
See knew it.
MELLIS POWER
OLD MAN ELLIS!
Take that old man!
wow, listening to Vin narrating a HR!
I am starting to think Left field is cursed. The curse of Mannywood starring Johnny Depp.
That was a weird inning.
Or maybe our GM signs old left fielders.
Listening to Vinny on a Friday night on the radio reminds me when I had to search stations to get a good Dodgers signal back in my childhood. . A Las Vegas station always came in good at night. In the day time good ol Visalia helped me get my Dodgers fix.
Hell yeah, Paul.
That AB was kind of sad.
Wow, the Angels are getting spanked.
1-0 good guys
If Moyer were 60 years old, we'd have this game
Bunts!
This is sort of embarrassing.
Beer & Skittles reference!
Dre!
Bobby!
Abreu breaks through!
2-0 Dodgers
MELLIS DOIN WORK
Looks like the Clips are going to join the Lakers in playing a Game 7.
"In comes Treanor. In comes Capuano."
Don't hear that often.
I <3 Mellis
*squares around to drink booze*
Wow, Mellis with 3 RBIs.
Dre!
Woot!
Dre making things happen!
Apodaca!
Had to be said.
Fuck the Clippers.
Had to be said.
*late love to Abreu "El Comedulce"*
i'm trying to get a cab :( it was supposed to be girls' night out :(
DreBI! 5-0 Dodgers!
bring him in, Comedulce!
We want pictures, Karina!
@Orel you'll have'em if I can make it :(
We wouldn't be standing you up if you were here, Karina.
OT I love Josh Hamilton
cc Czar
55!
Can you drive 55, Marla?
My car can only go 38
ARI 5, SF 1, top 8
Looked out on the replay. Loney didn't come off til he went by.
Hey I have a signle again! Hey we are winning by more!
Holy shit Cappuccino has been lights out again. Good for him.
Lot to like about this game so far.
Pastes over the things I don't like about it.
That was signal. Whatever autocorrect. Dutchbag.
Wow, Robert De Niro did a Time Warner commercial.
Whadya gonna do?
I am about to put on the Cutting Crew and get this party started.
I like Josh Hamilton's game.
I can't identify with his christianity or his sobriety, though.
Shit!
Cap gives one up. 5-1
Looks like Cap will finish at seven innings.
Pulgas 0-3 tonight, hitting a cool .194.
Tad Hamilton is the better bunter.
This pass the mic GBA is kinda weird.
I'd love to win a date with Tad Hamilton.
The Clippers lost.
HA-ha!
Dre Day bishes!
Andre Motherfucking Ethier, ladies and gentlemen!
Andre really wants a big contract.
Beast mode never sleeps.
Looks a little tired though.
Kemp does look like he's moving better in the outfield, though, and it's a cool night.
Andre uses dip? That's new isn't it?
I guess that's where the smokey flavor in his swing comes from.
SF lost to the Snakes, 5-1. As of this second, they are 5.5 GB the Dodgers; 'Zona is 6.0 GB.
everyone wants to win a date with Tad Hamilton, Dusty :)
Imagine how good the Dodgers would be if they didn't have the worst fans in baseball.
CC: Hank Schulman
Tad Hamilton gave me syphilis.
We Javy problem.
Javy can't pitch the 8th!
Javy still kind of Javyish.
Was Dre dipping? Didn't notice. I know he's always gone through about 45 sacks of sunflower seeds per game. Are you sure he didn't just have a mouthful of those? Though that would be weird.
That's why he's pitching the 8th.
Nah looks liked dip to me. I've noticed this year he switched from pumpkin to sunflower seeds though.
Can you imagine life before HD television.
FUCK YOUR MOTHER CARGO!!!!
But hey, Elbert to the rescue!
Never thought I'd say that, either.
Surly factor: 7.5
SUCK.
IT.
CARGO.
Damn straight, Nic. I'm going to quote you on that.
Bryce Harper goes 0-for-5 in the Nationals' win tonight, lashes out in the dugout with a tantrum, and the bat comes back to hit him and gash him below the eye. He'll need stitches.
How will he paint the eye black now?
Cargo boom when I rig it with plastique.
I said earlier "not tonight" :)
Are you serious, Sax? Wow.
I was listening to the whole game (CIN broadcast) and they never mentioned it but probably didn't have the view for what went down.
Pretty shitty given the fact that Nats totally dominated the game and got a solid win to keep pace.
Hey, we're still winning!
URINE!!!!!!!
Uribe? Uribe.
Figures he hits one out when the game is already over.
I'll take that! awesome!
Kevin Kennedy thinks Uribe is a great RBI guy.
Coffey is for closers.
And even Loney gets a single. Multi-hit game for Loney!
7-1 Dodgers, B8
I like to think I had something to do with Urine finally getting one. (See Twitter.)
Did I hear MVP chants after that Urine homerun?
@NicJ, i love me the Mamet
Prediction: Coffey will need help getting out of the 9th.
@Paul. No, after Urine's HR, they were chanting "extra cheese"
Wow, Urine and Loney putting up offense? What's going on around here?
Gordon HR right here, to get ahead of Pujols again
If dee gordon were a little faster, he'd have made that
that's genius Nomo "uribenacci"
If Woody had gone to the police, Sax would have been arrested and I wouldn't have to deal with his constant hypotheticals.
Predictions: Coffey will need help getting out of the bullpen gate.
Bustin out the Asahi beer and edamame
I'm more afraid of Helton than I am afraid of Cargo
@NicJ 9:39p: on second thought, you may have had an extra "c" in that last word there
I think Helton is older than Moyer. #MarkGraceTime
here comes the gidp
That's a nice snag
Nice catch andre
Hurry this up, guys. I have tickets to see Avengers again.
Fuck Gnomes, save some seats for me
Don't do it, Nomo, it's a trick!
Damn you.
why can't it be easy?
Coffey sure does take up a lot of space on this roster.
It would be nice to have a couple of arms in the pen.
I miss seeing Dan the Del Taco guy
Dotel might be available.
We make party!!! Not you Belly.
Dan!
Dotel. That's rich.
So is Dotel.
Big Crapuccino does it again
We winnnnnnnnn
We win!
Capuano now 5-0 despite big Crapuccino trying to give the game away.
At least he wasn't a walkiatto.
Amirite?
Good win fellas
PGT up!
Needs more Van Slyke.
