Chris Capuano (7-2, 2.50) vs. Kyle Kendrick (2-4. 4.02).
After losing six of our last seven, I had prepared myself for a total meltdown in Philadelphia. The fact that we will leave Philly not having lost this series, and enter a weekend series with Seattle still in first place, is a pleasant surprise. Elian Herrera has been a wonderful surprise in these first two games. Dee Gordon's run-scoring triple Monday was also a great surprise. Juan Pierre's botched catch at the wall yesterday was not a surprise, but was awesome. Basically, two games into this four-game series, I'm shaking my head, but smiling at the same time.
And that brings us to Capuano, whose last outing was disastrous. In Kendrick, we face a pitcher whom mlb.com says "has not surrendered more than two runs in any of his starts," though the baseball-reference.com gamelogs say a different story. In fact, that 3.0 IP, 11 H, 7 ER outing @ Arizona on April 23 sure stands out as a surprise. Maybe tonight will be pleasant, as well.
Oh yeah, and GO KINGS!!!

Hi everyone.
Wotchepalehowdy!
Epale, y'all!
The wheel of employment fortune seems like it's done grinding me into the ground this week, so I'll be back at it.
Give me a "Y", Stubbs
@Sax
_ _ _ _ Y _ _
Buy a vowel?
(I tease because I love)
The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills, Franklin.
@MR. F
Worse at bringing storylines to resolution: George R. R. Martin or Robert Jordan?
I would definitely watch Wheel of Fortune if they used an actual Rota Fortunae.
I misquoted.
GO KINGS!
Finally! A puzzle I can solve.
Answer sent.
RIP Ray Bradbury, or as they said on Mars;
"Fuuuuuuuuuuck."
Hey Stubbs, you have seemed to forget there are ladies around
@Karina
I should be more polite, you're right. Getting out from underneath the thumb of The Man makes me a little twitchy.
I'm glad Ray got in a few years to laugh his ass off at those Camel ads that were biting his style.
I dunno Franklin. I'm not done with WoT. I'm only on Book 6, actually. GRRM does have the advantage of being alive, though.
That works for me, Capster.
@MR. F
Indeed. However, I got fed up with him while he was still alive, so I'm counting it. I bailed after Winter's Heart.
Only getting seeing 10 pitches an inning is a bad plan.
Gahd, I AM twitchy. getting or seeing. Either one will do.
I actually heard that Sanderson's books are pretty good. I dunno. I haven't gotten to the bad part yet, so iono.
Victorino, refer to me at 3:58pm.
Dammit. Solo Victornio homer makes it 1-0 Phillies.
Kennedy leading off. We got this.
I make fun of him, he doesn't get out...
I can live with that arrangement.
See?!
What was the injury delay?
1st and 2nd, still none out. Two runs already in.
@Sax
I'm gameday-ing, as well. Must not have been too serious.
'Dre time!
Damn!
Ethier fly ball not deep enough to score a run?
C'mon Ajellis!
Sheet.
Not that I'm going to throw the 2 runs back.
Ah, dammit. AWO.
Werewolves of London.
2-1 LA through 4
Shit. Tie game.
booooooooooooooooooooo
2-2 B5 none out
@Orel 5:02p: what is AWO?
Criminy, Cap, calm down
@Sax:
Another
Wasted
Opportunity
Cap having trouble putting away the pitcher here
Kendrick sacs a RISP
Goddamn it Cap, you had him and let him get away
Oh balls.
Can't I leave y'all unsupervised for an inning or two?
Two-run HR by Rollins makes it 4-2 Phillies.
Scoreless at Staples after one period.
Fuck. Kennedy Ks.
All up to Hairston, now.
Gift run!
YES! Deeeeeeeeeeee!
Deeeeeeeee
I suspect almost everyone is watching the Kings game
Stop fucking bunting Dee
One more run would be swell
Rancho Loneyiendo
Another freebie?
Very well. Bring on bottom 9
6-4 Dodgers heading into the bottom of the ninth. Jansen in for a third straight save?
Shit. 0-1 NJ.
DAMMIT
Devils score.
Kings tie it! That was fast!
Ruiz.
Go. Away.
W00T!
Crap. let's buckle down and finish these yahoos.
KJ might be a be a bit gassed
Whew!
Forget Ruiz.
The batter is the runner who matters
Crap, crap, crap
Thome K. Uno mas.
You know what? After eleven pitches, I'm glad Ruiz got hit.
Yeah, I hate that guy.
Saw that coming. Don't fuck this up.
Uh, yeah.
He's completely gassed.
*clenches*
Thank god!
Meanwhile, the Devils net another.
Woooooooot!
Wow.
Game 5 has not been the Kings strong suit in the postseason.
Game 4, perfect in game fives.
Woop! Go Blue!
^er, game 4, that is.
Stoopid fat fingers.
Three straight one-run wins against the Phillies. Is this real life?
Alright. Regroup and bring it home next game.
Con of a sunt.
KingsFail
Booooooooooo!
@Orel it is! not only that, we could get better than that, too :)
Indeed Karina. According to @truebluela, "The Dodgers have never swept a 4-game series in Philadelphia. Ever."
@Orel, I'm not expecting this to be the year, either.
Multi-PGT up!
100, fer chrissake!
