Chris Capuano (1-3, 5.60 ERA) vs. Jered Weaver (0-1, 4.91 ERA)
The Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles take their California adventure on the road to a decidedly different city and county, with a two-game set beginning tonight in Anaheim, California. Fresh off a two-game home minnie-sweep of the Angels, the team has to feel good about their chances for building a little momentum, though Angel Stadium hasn't always proven to be the happiest place on earth for Dodger success. Weaver of course is coming off an elbow injury (after landing goofy on a play) that has kept him out for much of the season, and one would have to be in fantasyland to think he could just bounce right back from something like that. Nor, however, will we really know what to expect from Capuano; we've seen some great moments with Mr. Capuano but he faces an uphill battle against a team that can put up some big thunder offense.
Speaking of injuries, Kemp was hit in the elbow/forearm with a pitch yesterday, which may give Mattingly ariel excuse to sit him for a day without the threat the kind of clubhouse drama we've seen recently that seems more like Toontown. We'll have to see how Mattingly tinkers with the lineup as a result.
It autry be a good one.

"Crazy? She's fucking Goofy!"
Hope the Dodgers don't play like pooh.
Hope pooh-holes plays like pooh.
Wonder how Donnie's going to handle the bullpen tonight. Not that it Matterhorns.
Hey I know Jerad's brother Jeff! It's a small world after all.
Er, make that Donald Mattingly.
If Cap gets in trouble you can call Donald Captain Hook.
Or should I say I hope Cap doesn't get the hook early.
Darn it. I will never be as clever as Grant Brisbee.
Pressure is on Jungle Cruz with HanRam coming back soon.
There autopia way for us to get some mid-season bullpen help.
Maybe we can just tinker Belli's delivery.
HAH! Nice one, Paul.
Eeyore on fire, Paul!
Dinner hit 3 homeruns today? Guess he wished upon a star.
Pluto back in the lineup. Hope he neverlands on that bruised back he got from that weird play the other day.
Urine: made of Flubber
On the sofa, Vinny.
Angels in the Outfield:
Trout
Hamilton
Shuck
Get on with it!
I think Kemp is going to hit a homerun tonight.
Not a good at bat.
What was that circle jerk pre-game shit? Play the damn game already. Jesus.
He goes by Savior Colorado these days.
Not the start I was hoping for.
I've gotten a little spoiled the last couple of games. Our start tonite, however, has brought the fear back. Anaheim is not the happiest place on earth if you're a Dodger fan.
So far.
So hoping that Trumbo drops a fly ball so I can go all Amazing Trumbo Drop on yall.
Hamilton looks like he got high and taped Joe Blanton's pubes to his chin.
Steve Sax would be proud of him.
I'm mulan over just turning the game off already.
Too many Angels free basing.
Captain Ew.
I will take it.
That first inning made me Grumpy.
OMG! He got out of it.
Seems like Capuano had 101 pitches that inning.
SVS gets a Fast Pass to the visiting dugout.
That darn catcher doubles to right.
Not feeling very Pollyanna about this one anymore.
Hopefully that one run won't Mater.
That was a fucking epic GT, Dusty. Golf clap!
As for that Mellis-less lineup, I can only hope Mattingly's Pixar smart.
Cheers, Sax.
I might have to hang it up tonight after my Mater comment. I was even booing myself after that one.
I'd feel much better about this game if were facing Dream Weaver.
I'd feel much better about it if Dream Weaver were pitching for us.
Or if Dream Weaver were here sharing his bong with me.
45
I'd be Lion if I said I thought this was going to turn out well.
I think it's time to mention Dream Weaver Jr. hasn't allowed a hit. We have to get the jinx juju flowing.
Do we have any hits yet?
@ Orel
Not a one. Jr. is pitching a no-hitter.
Gritty recovery by Cap! Blows the DP but still gets the runner at first.
Thanks, Karen. Just what we need.
Is the lineup card exchange still going on?
That ball was foul, but I'll take it!
Sit down you asshole.
Jared Weaver has a no-hitter through four? Wow!
Dre's double breaks up the no-no.
I don't know what to be more amazed by, Dre doubling or Vin missing the call!
Good work, guys!
Gameday radio about a minute behind gameday pitch action
I love you, Vinny. You just talk about the no no all you want.
And Eithier doubles!
Thanks Vin!!
And there goes the no-hitter! Andre double
Lotsa cheers for the dodgers at Anaheim stadium...
Kemp 0-for-1 and swinging at everything. 0-2 count
God almighty Kemp is terrible.
Godawful at bat by Kemp.
Come on Matt, a three-pitch K? Not good.
Dammit.
"Struck out on three pitches, and only one was a strike." -Rick monday
Van Slyke pulling a kemp here, 0-2 count
That wasn't much better.
Nice hit!
Skip!
Note to Dodger "hitters":
Lil Weave is throwing every pitch low and outside. STOP FUCKING SWINGING AT THOSE!
Schuuuuuuu
The angel stadium waterfall, on MLB.com gameday, does not seem to be moving.
"Trout's line was way upstream"-Vinny
Steal second, skipster!
I see my hitting advice has paid off!
Jellis! Setting us up for a Cruz homer!
Dream Jr. a little shook up.
Ahhhh.
You just pitch your heart out, Jr. We need the runs.
Pretend you're up the 5, Carl!
Rally killer.
My mom just said "Who could get just 1 run on 4 hits except the Dodgers". For some reason Her dementia isn't as bad when I come down to her house and we watch the Dodgers game together. Isn't that great??
Thank you Dodgers.
A.J.'s got a gun!
Great anecdote, Karen!
Great story, Karen. Your mom speaks the truth!
Looks like Trout beat him by a hair. I wonder why Cap didn't just tag Trout with his glove hand along the base line?
Crap.
That could have been much worse. Mumbo Trumbo HR makes it 3-1 Angels.
Thank goodness for Josh Hamilton!
Well so much for us tying the game.
Trumbo HR. well, that's not good. 3-1 Angels through 5.
Jesus Colorado, Kemp is just the shittiest of the shitty right now. There has to be some sort of intervention by the team, like when we did an intervention with the entire Flaming Menudos that time.
Kemp looks like me at a dry Wedding reception. Lost.
Shocker, Kemp swung at a pitch off the plate away. And missed.
What is a dry wedding reception? that does not compute.
Slider does not compute for Kemp.
Release the Puig!
I just released a pug. I misread your comment, Paul.
Of course a .215-hitting catcher would get a double right here.
Methinks Cap is about done
Very smooth, Skip. Let's see how many runs that error leads to.
Skippy, Robin us of an out.
Shake it off, Skipper.
Oh-Oh, were getting into the bullpen from hell.
We need a pug at second.
Javy barely gets us out of the inning.
Javy's like, remember me?
It was a fun two game win "streak".
Remember way back when Javy flirted with being our closer. On all that is holy, what the hell happened?
Kemp Kemp'd. Not sure what the issue is.
Great, Kemp's hurt! Again!
Karen, you been hanging out at the docks? Because you're cursing like a sailor. Keep it up!
I'd say I hope Kemp is okay but he hasn't been for awhile.
What, so "fuck" isn't a curse word?
Hey Dusty, what is the beer price range at DS?
Well then FUCK, FUCK, FUCK this game.
And the angels and the horses they rode in on.
Well, maybe not the horses.
Beer?
AGon with a meaningless homer.
Agone gets us 1 precious run.
Phantasmic, A-Gon!
@Dusty: Yeah, I need it for this BLS thing.
Fuck fuck fuck. A pox on all your houses!
Forgot all about that shit, Orel.
Just tuned in. Not good
Pitch in what you can, Dusty. I'll send you what I have tonight or tomorrow morning.
Wow, SVS with a meaningless homer too!
SVS gets us a bit closer. 4-3!
SVS gets us another run.
I wanna have SVS' babies.
PGTUP!
I'm going to have to spend more time on the docks. I Can't think of any naughty things to say after another debacle.
At least SVS continues to look pretty good.
