Aaron Harang (3-2, 3.83) vs. Trevor Cahill (2-4, 4.01).
5: The number of consecutive games the Dodgers have won (for the third time this season, per @truebluela).
4: The number of consecutive games in which the Dodgers have scored exactly six runs (6-5, 6-0, 6-5 against the Cardinals — game set match! — and 6-1 against the Snakes last night).
3: The number of consecutive starts in which D'backs starter Cahill has not earned a win.
2: The number of series the Dodgers have to complete (including this one against Arizona) before Matt Kemp is scheduled to return (on May 29, which is Game 2 of a four-game series against the Brewers).
1: The number of games the Kings have to win to move on to the Stanley Cup Finals. This will serve as your Kings Playoff Game Thread as well. Go Kings!

0: Number of times Dodgers have lost with Kennedy batting fifth.
Blast off!
KEG LEG HAH!
I think Donnie is sending me anagrammed messages in his linups.
Post needs to be corrected.
Number of Games in which the Kings need to win to be the STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS.
Ugh, if the Kings lose today...
1-0 Dogs
those red Coyote jerseys are stupid, trying to look like the Red Wings
Coyotes have probably outplayed the last two games and the start of this one. We have a lot of rope to work with but it's gm getting shorter.
On the sofa, Vinny!
Short-handed goal!! 1-1
Nevermind I don't know what I'm talking about.
GO KINGS!!!!
great deflection through the 5 hole
heh heh meatballs behind the yotes bench
Have they ever put a face to the chick with the huge rack behind the Coyotes bench?
Tone gets us going
Gordon in the 8th spot, interesting
ugh, Tony thrown out at second
Herrera hustles again and nearly beats the throw. He's gonna get one soon
Wow, Bobby with an excuse me swing, nearly beats the throw from third
Kings powerplay for 3.8 and then 1:56.2 in the 2nd
That was less than graceful.
wow, great pickup and throw by Dee, bad turn by Herrera
fudge, catch that
Watching the Kings and taping the Dodgers, Vinny!
On a barstool and not on the sofa, FYI, Vinny!
is this going to be one of those games?
we need those wild-ass kids behind the plate again
sheesh, AK Ks and Dre is thrown out at second
What's up with the squandered baserunners?
James with a slow chopper to end the inning
@Stubbs Donnie doesn't like them so he sends a lot of runners when he shouldn't
Well, of course that would happen.
DEEE!
can Harang get down a bunt?
Oh, hell. I don't like the smell of this one.
what a waste, Aaron
it's legal to practice bunting after spring training is over, right?
@Stubbs - funky, indeed
Buck funting.
At least the Kings tied it up!
what the hell? I turn away for a second and it's 3-0!
I think Harang is distracted by the hockey game
K+CS to get out of the inning.
Lets get something on the board
what the hell? I turn away for a second and it's 3-2!
Kings that is
yuck, terrible AB from Herrera
Dayum, they're not giving up.
Harang needs to get his shit together if we're going to get back in this.
the more I watch Harang, the more I am amazed by his 9 consecutive strikeouts
how did he beat that?
Kings 3, Coyotes 3, 2nd intermission thingy
I think Konrad Schmidt was an extra on Hogan's Heroes
Hank White strikes out
Has Hank White ever faced Joe Table?
and Harang gets Cahill to strike out too
@Orel, 0-2 with a K
Very nice, FB.
Le sigh
I have seen enough of this one - this kid needs some ZzZzs
I hope we can keep it close and get into their bullpen. Gnite all
Bloomquist starts the bottom of the 5th with a double.
Night, FB!
Now's a good time for me to try to break my record of 13 straight comments.
Man, Harang fooling no one. 4-0 D'backs.
BLOCK
Mattingly in with the hook. Q*bert in.
DAMMIT
Well, so much for all those happy surprises.
Giants won. They're heating up a little.
Good thing we let Harang hit last inning, amirite?
Gameday has crapped the bed. I'mma go look at fasciotomy pics.
Well, the Harangutan was going to show up eventually, I suppose.
Sac fly. 5-0 D'backs.
Something brewing? Dodgers with men on first and second, no out. Abreu up.
Abreu Ks.
WP advances the runners. So it's like Abreu hit a sac fly.
"Live by the sword, et cetera, et cetera." —Vin
Cahill's specialty pitch appears to be the knuckle-curve.
Ethier sac. 5-1 D'backs.
What's it like to be really pissed you only hit a sac fly then you have to high-five everyone in the dugout?
AK draws the BB. Men on first and third, two out, Loney up.
PHEW
re: Kings
shot goes off Quick's head
tied at 3, 5 minutes left
Is this a game for you, Stubbs?
It amuses me more than the futility I'm consuming on Channel 9
I can't imagine being a big hockey fan. Super nerve-racking.
Of course Loney tags it straight at Overbay, who was on the line because he was holding the runner at first.
How is Canada so mellow, then?
Beer. Lots and lots of beer.
*bangs head on desk*
*cracks a Molson*
What? D'backs scored again?
5-4 DP!
Is there sudden death in the playoffs?
I am not qualified to answer that question
Is beer good?
#AJ2KC!
Dee Gordon bunt results in a throwing error to second. Dodgers with first and second, no out. Seems familiar.
Beer is a Platonic Good.
Sands double! 6-2 D'backs.
Hey, we didn't fuck it up this time!
We didn't fuck it up again!
Mojo risin!
Josh Bell taketh, Josh Bell giveth. Error puts men on first and second for the Dodgers, still no out. 6-4 D'backs.
Come
On
Bobby!.
Abreu single! 6-5 D'backs! Still no out!
Mojo risin!!!
Babbah!
I'm confused. Is this the Dodgers we're watching?
Let's have another!
Breslow, Sweet Chariot
Andre singles! Rancho Ardiendo! Still no out!
Rancho Of Jesus.
Rancho R. Diendo
Dodgers are now in another one run game. Losers.
Kings applying pressure!
Hello, not-unattractive blonde behind the Coyotes bench.
Back to the Dodgers. De Jesus up.
Sac fly ties it!
Tie game, bishes!
Loney DP to end it. Back to the Kings.
FJL GIDP. Great.
That wasn't the first word that came to mind.
AJ will lead off the 8th. Let's do ALL THAT again. Except the shitty Loney part.
If we score 5 runs next inning, we can do the shitty Loney part again, for all I care.
RESUME RUN SCORING!
Someone asked if I was trying to get Nomo trending on Twitter. I guess the pseudonym thing doesn't translate.
Coyotes with the power play.
@Nomo: I find it strange there are readers out there more familiar with our Twitter feed than the blog.
Lost glove!!
Erm, 140 characters are insufficient to convery the concept of a septumvirate.
Forbearance is the watchword. That triumvirate of Twinkies simply overwhelmed my resolve.
That was less successful than last inning.
Lindblom in.
Brown swept the leg.
KINGS!
Kings!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, bollocks.
That was the emotional equivalent of a conflicting edit.
PENIS
Kings win, Dodgers give up the lead.
Kings up in dis biiiiiiiiiiiiiish!!!!!!!!
@Paul
Did you think Brown did anything wrong on that play?
Well, if we have to take a split, I'll take that one.
I see we're still trading Dodgers losses for Kings wins. That's cool, only four more.
DAMMIT?
Elian walks!
Looked low to me.
Abreu walks! Ethier up!
That was damn lucky.
Andre has a sunflower seed shell or some shit on his lip.
Holy Shit, Mr Clutch?
HD is a miracle
No DP, No DP, No DP...
Fuck, Ethier Ks.
Ugh.
Ethier doing his best James Loney impersonation...
C'mon, IDJ!
Jesus saves?
IDJ!
IDJ IDJ IDJ!!!!
HOLY FLYING FUCK!
Holy shit. I cannot believe today.
DeJesus Colorado!! What a hit.
OF JESUS CHRIST!!!
CHUY!
13 is my lucky number. IDJ, Wow!
C'mon Loney ground out already. let's get Jansen on the bump
I like how Vin said the Dodgers wanted Loney to come to the plate.
Stop reading the GT, Loney!
Well, SOMEBODY had to score to get Loney up there. That must me it...
Doh-n Stop, Bee-lee-vin, hol un to tat fee-ee-len...
Whoops!
K-WP. Bloomquist at first, no out.
DP, por favor
Well, that kinda sucked. Clench up!
*clenches*
C'mon KJ!
Damn, that is some gnarly neck ink.
1 down
Dos mas.
4K inning still in play.
KOO-bell
The snake rattle continues to be obnoxious.
Yikes.
DP here.
meatball up... bad idea Jansen
Get a leash on that thing, Kenley.
*sweats*
off the plate?!?!? WtF?!?!
At least the strike zone is consistent for both teams.
GEDP!
WHEW
N e 1 else distracted by drunk white tank top?
WHEW!!! Hi Fives!!!
Oh good lord!
WIN(S)
OH MY HEART!!!!
*unclenches*
