Aaron Harang (5-4, 3.76) vs. Garrett Richards (2-0, 0.86).
The good news is that Aaron Harang identified a mechanical flaw after giving up a career-high eight walks in his last start, in Oakland.
The bad news is that he was working on his car at the time. So while fixing the leak in the exhaust manifold of his 1968 bitchin' Camaro has done wonders for his ride, we're still left to wonder how he'll fare against an Angels lineup that is finding its groove.
The Dodger bats, who scored a relatively explosive three runs yesterday, will be further tested by Garrett Richards, who was called up after Jered Weaver had gone on the DL, and stayed up when Jerome Williams went down. Dodger bats and new pitchers: usually a pretty bad combo. Let's hope we can fix that today.

Let's hope Harang isn't a 1977 Mustang.
I'll listening to this while driving down I-5 today!
Nice Dead Milkmen reference, Orel!
Today's game interferes with the Euro 2012 QF match. Of course, this only matters to Stubbs, Karina, Greg No Photo, and me.

NO URINE!!!! Oh happy, non-fat days!
Darwin alert:
A Chinese football fan died at his home after going 11 nights without sleep as he watched every single European Championship match from Poland-Ukraine.
Jiang Xiaoshan died from exhaustion June 19, after reportedly staying up every night to watch the Euros with his friends.
After watching Italy defeat the Republic of Ireland, the 26-year-old fan went back to his home in Changsha, took a shower and fell asleep. Xiaoshan never woke up.
Sources claim that the combined effects of alcohol, tobacco and sleep deprivation were to blame for his untimely death. Xiaoshan’s friends were left shocked after learning of his death, stating that he lived a “relatively healthy life.”
It is not the first time fans have suffered health issues watching international tournaments from different time zones. Several people were admitted to hospitals during the World Cup tournaments in 2006 and 2010 due to exhaustion.
Because of the time difference, all the European Championship matches are played in the middle of the night in China.

Go Dodgers! Forza Italia! Is the Great Ragu in the game?
epale everyone!
@Paul indeed FORZA ITALIA!
@Dusty: What is this Euro 2012 QF that you speak of? Some political convention?
Viva La Roja! Sur Americana la mejor.
Viva El Flaming Menudos!
James Loney: Professional Escape Hatch.
I think even this crowd is chanting beat LA.
@Paul yes, they are
@Neeebs I'd say it is La Vinotinto
it is very weird that Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim doesn't have a radio broadcast in Spanish.
Holy shit,the Angel Dog is fucking awful. Not sure how they get away with calling it food.
Heard in the Dodgers Spanish broadcast:
A day like today, but in 1955, Sandy Koufax debuted as a pitcher for the Dodgers. This same day, in 1955, too, Jaime Jarrin arrived to the USA as an emigrant.
nice moment in the broadcast :)
Take a picture, Gnomes!
2-0 dodgers early on
I gotta keep my eyes on the road
Damn.
boooooooooooooo
Vin talking about Ethier and skid marks.
I hope he's referring to Andre's fly ball attempt
Pull it together, Harangutang.
Fuck. 2-2 tie
And THAT'S why you need to score more runs per inning when you've got runners on.
(arm falls off)
@DKnobler Still don't know where Youkilis is headed. But do know it's not the Dodgers.
There sure is a lot of gimmicky bullshit between innings here.
@nomo- yeah, it's almost like going to a minor league park. Gotta keep the peoole engaged I guess.
Me, 30 seconds ago: "James, don't swing at the firs...FUCK."
Loney has discovered a mechanical flaw as well. The flaw is he sucks.
what a waste
James Loney has no fuck to give.
Nice inning, Aaron.
good inning, Double-A
what a Kennedy
gotta keep taking against this guy
damn - looked safe on first look
and on subsequent looks too
Dee, until you can bunt that well, you should never bunt ever
Why does it feel like we're losing?
SF 2, OAK 1, bot 3
The Angels love hitting into DPs almost as much as we do.
wow, great double play, Elian
A rabbit is loose! And Dee Gordon get on with an infield single. If you see my missing rabbit, please let me know.
Now don't get caught stealing, Dee, PLEASE!
It's not Elian's day with the bat.
Ahora tomariendo vino blanco. Pinot Grigio. Viva Italia.
Youkilis traded to White Sox.
Dodgers stuck with Loney (You Kill Us)
can a team set up a video camera in the camera well that can record a pitcher's move to first from the same angle as it is seen by a runner on first and first base coach?
Youkilis to the White Sox.
AIRMAIL!
Cue the Yakkity Sax!!
Wha? LOL
Gordon should steal third.
Abreu to walk to set up another Loney DP
sorry, Loney is after Rivera
son of a
Dodgers have hit into five DPs in this series.
FORZA ITALIA!!
Angels have hit into four.
I hate Trout.
Try the Salmon.
nice work, Matt
Knew that would happen.
Pujols with a slow grounder for a single. Trout rounded the bases twice before scoring.
fuck
Italy not just won, they won over penalty kicks! so I guess I can't complain about the Dodgers today
@Paul *high five*
Pujols, you're no Trout. Rivera guns him down at third.
lucky
Don't like the Salmon either, more of a Piazza guy.
Why would you try to go 1st to 3rd on a flare to left?
Go home Michael Jethro Scioscia.
stupid wild pitches - unacceptable
this better not turn into a run
ok lets score a run or two
I have seen no evidence that beer is cheaper here, Arte.
Rivera leads off the sixth with a double!
Can't wait to see how we strand him!
that's a good start. Let's not W this O
Even when Loney hits it hard, he hits it at somebody.
Loney has seen three pitches today.
He hit that one pretty well though.
damn, that would have been a run
O is knocking, boys.
Loney avoids GIDP! We make sarcastic party!
Wotcher, y'all.
Sac fly by ex-Angel Kennedy scores ex-Angel Rivera, giving the Angels an ex-lead.
Epale, MR. F!
Nice work, Adam
This is the first fighting back we've seen in several days from this team
we should be working more walks from this guy. Seems like lots of 3-ball counts that turn into ground outs
Do Mr. F, Mr. C and Mr. LASC hang out at the same bar?
Richards at 96 pitches.
wow - nice catch, Adam
unlucky chopper for a double
Finish this off, Aaron. Don't let this get away from you
Let's score some runs!
Loney saved Herrera's bacon there. Nice to see his glove isn't slumping.
Gordon finally lays down a good bunt.
damn - that will give him confidence to keep trying that
Nice bunt by Dee.
Vin says it. First bunt single since May 8.
Wot? That's insane.
Tough day for Herrera.
damn - Elian can't lay off the high outside stuff
Richards got a standing ovation from large groups of Angel fans. I must have missed something.
Angel fans love their QualityStart™s!
lotta those Angels need haircuts
Only one verse of Take Me Out to the Ballgame?
nice teamwork, J and A
Budget cutbacks after the Pujols signing, Nomo.
sorry, that's Josh, not Aaron
keep fighting, Josh
damn
They need the time to sing Build me Up Buttercup, because it's 1995, apparently.
When did we start getting Coffey up during tie games?
Damn. Again.
4-3 Angels. Game over.
son of a
goddammit
Oh, how I hate two-out madness.
When it goes against us, that is.
stupid HBP - unacceptable
time for a home run to put this game to bed
Lindblom runs out of gas fast.
ARGHHHHHHHH
Lindblom is not somebody we can depend on anymore. I think he was overused and lucky early and now it's all catching up to him
NOW it's game over.
I'm sticking it out, though. I'm not THAT guy.
That's happening to the entire team, FB.
Way to represent, Nomo!
SF 2, OAK 1, bot 8
I don't know why I'm so irritated. We're already lucky to have won one in Anaheim.
Oakland threatening in the bottom of the 8th, apparently.
Just be happy this is the last day of inter league.
Why is Abreu trying to bunt?
Reddick grounded into a DP to end the inning.
Looking like the giants will be 2 back.
I know whatever didn't work this week, will succeed tomorrow.
Glad we're missing Cain.
Its just too bad we are also missing Kemp.
Right now we are missing competence.
We should be ok up there. (Zito, Vogelsong, and the ghost of Lincecum)
Here's our look at the game: IDJ walks, Hairston AB. Two out.
Hope we don't cure Lincecum.
That is not a very promising look.
at least Kennedy is out of the lineup
Guy Fieri to shut us down the rest of the way
Bullshit call?
WHAT?
Looked like a bullshit call from the upper deck, at least.
Now would be a good time to go streaking, Nomo.
Shawn "White Flag" Tolleson
Oakland beats the Giants!
holy shit, Oakland walkoff HR
I LOVE (L)A's
Walkoff HR after being down to their last strike
Oakland walks off!
Eyes on the road, Sax.
goddamn Callaspo
I remember there was talk of signing him a couple of years ago from KC. He would have been an Angel Berroa for us though
Wow, Hairston handles the hot Pujols shot!
Orel, you nasty!
What? What'd I say?
let's go down with a fight at least
any phrase with Pujols in it sounds nasty to me
why exactly did SD let this guy go?
Frieri + Pujols = Frijoles?
Haricots verts single!
Jerry working hard against Pontiac Fiero, maybe we can tire him out
Tony with no chance
TGJ Ks. C'mon Mr. Misty.
Makeup call!
the ump gives a strike and then takes one away
Treanor bloops out.
Don't bunt here, Dee.
@Fred's Brim there's no way Callaspo can be an Angel Berroa, he's "crafty"
stoopid Ned
Well, we'll only be tied for first after the Giants sweep us. Time for a nap.
Interleague is over!!!!!!
get the fuck out of my face, interleague, and take a D sandwich for the road
Now the Dodgers can go back to winning and the Angels back to losing.
Finally home. Turns out it sucks getting out of the Angel Stadium parking lot too.
Just got home. Nice comeback by the A's!
