Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Chris Capuano (10-8, 3.29) vs. Wade LeBlanc (1-1, 1.50).
Hello, second place. Did you miss us? Because we weren't gone long.
I don't like pitchers named Wade. Last time we saw one, he knocked us into second place. Will today's Wade bog us down further?
And speaking of LeBlancs, have you seen "Episodes" on Showtime? Matt LeBlanc is doing a great job on that show.

I like seeing Cruz back in the lineup. And I like not seeing Loney in it.
Wake your lazy asses up, people. There's baseball to be watched!
LA Times website current headline:
"Chihuahua fire in northeast San Diego County near containment"
How hard is it to put out a chihuahua fire?
Ahora quiero Taco Bell.
Me, too, Nomo. You making a run?
Double for HanRam. MEllis at third. 2 outs but we have somethin cookin.
Or not. Ethier with a room service fly ball to CF. At least we got to Matt LeBlanc.
Gorkys: Park your ass back on the bench. Struck out on three pitches.
Dylan Hernandez just tweeted some breaking news:
"Joe Blanton unravels and Jerry Hairston Jr. is injured in #Dodgers' loss to the #Marlins on Saturday night: lat.ms/QqniqG"
Ball just isn't carrying out of the Yard this weekend.
MMT was in the Yard last night according to Steve Lyons.
5-4-3 DP - side retired.
RANCHO Alert!
Bases juiced for Matty.
Aaaaaaand Matty strikes out.
Now HanRam with a chance to do something here. He's been killing Marlins all weekend.
Full count for Hanley. Whatcha gonna do?
TheWhite already on 50 pitches.
Sac fly to LF for Hanley. Cap tags up to score. 1-0 Blue men.
Dre with a chance to make this right.
Noffense strikes again. Lots of chances and we couldn't taken advantage.
(walks away from computer)
*Cracks open first beer*
It would be nice if Kemp could heat up again.
Dusty: Dylan always links to the Times stories on the day they run.
At Nomo:
Yeah, I picked up on that. But as I've noted before it's extremely lame to tweet a link to a story that describes what happened in the game the day before. Bad use of social/new media!
C'mon, Cap, we're due for something special.
Should've started Loney.
MMT in tha heezy!
Capuano is having a decent day on the mound when one considers the box score.
Dammit, there went the no-hitter.
Do I get a dammit for the dammit comment? Whoa....meta
Quite a game that Capuano is pitching here.
Heath Bell is way fatter now. But then, Cuban food is REALLY good.
Even as a non-no-hitter
Second and third with one out. Let's go, Blue!
The orange adds 10-20 pounds.
Top 8, 1-0 dodgers.
Here comes Hanley.
I don't think that qualifies for a DAMMIT. It's like when we all say FUCK when the bullpen coughs up the lead.
Hey, Rockies at Giants is the free game of the day on MLB.com!
My flight is delayed. Boooooooo
Still think your cows are better, Carlos?
Boom Hanley!
3-0 LA
Charley just had a heart attack with that Ethier foul ball
Apparently Kemp had to hurdle Reyes as he left second toward home?
Jose Reyes is weak sauce.
Ethier singles in Hanley!
Hanley goes through the stop sign yet again!
Heath Bell is awesome
(for us that is)
It took us this long to figure out Heath Bell?
Radio segues out to 25-to-6-to-4
And here comes the scary as shit ankylosing spondylitis commercial
"Insist on hand-grown California avocados."
As opposed to the machine-grown avocados of Nevada? I don't get it.
Luis Cruz doubles where Juan Rivera could only K
5-0 Dodgers
Keep them coming, Dodgers
Or to
Still, four runs in the eighth inning ain't bad.
Chris Phi Beta Kapauano is dealing today!!!
2-hitter now, that's it, pull him
Pretty sweet highlight for Ramirez, knocking in two runs. You can even see the Kemp hurdle.
Twitter afire with jinx talk. The jinx only applies to speaking directly to the pitcher. Everyone else can say what they want. (Unless you're being a cock about it, like Dylan was.)
Think of it this way: During every successful no-hitter in history, someone somewhere said out loud that a no-no was going on.
^ Except maybe the first ever no-hitter. No one knew what it was yet.
Wow he's making look easy today.
Alex White vs Barry Zito today
Not happy about this delayed flight
Hanley Ks to end the top of the ninth.
That K was for you happy Miami fans.
Gorkys should change his name to Giancarlo.
Capuano out for the ninth. 8.0 IP, 10 Ks. Well done, Cap!
One out
So the Dodgers wind up 3-3 over the last six anyways.
MAKE SUNDAE PARTY!
PGT UP!
