Ricky Nolasco (6-9, 3.75) vs. Esmil Rogers (3-4, 3.84).
What in the name of holy heck is going on here? The Dodgers are currently invincible — down 8-3 after Capuano and Marmol torched the place? No problem! — and are in position for their second straight sweep against an east coast team. They could use the momentum, too, because the Cincinnati not-nearly-as-sucky-as-Toronto Reds will be waiting at Dodger Stadium tomorrow evening.
The Blue Jays held a players-only meeting before yesterday's game, so they figure to be especially desperate today. No word if they've promised Esmil Rogers that they'll rename the Rogers Centre for him if he wins.

Let's wrap up the 2012 Marlins Reunion Tour with a win!
Ken Gurnick @kengurnick 2m
Matt Kemp disabled, Ted Lilly activated.
Beat me to the punch, Nomo...
Hmmm...I think I'd prefer cheerleader Kemp over Lilly pitching.
Can we trade Lilly for Kemp?
@Q7 - well said
dammit all, squeezing us again?
YAY PICKOFFS!
Got him leaning, Pretty Ricky picks off Reyes
oh man, it actually says "Astroturf" on the field. I didn't realize it existed anymore. I thought the only use for astroturf was to make a "yard" down at the trailer park
cheezus, ump, that was nowhere near the zone
Yeah, I'm only on Gameday, but this ump is screwy as hell.
Dre gets us started with single up the middle
Rogers tried to hit AJ and missed, then tried again and got him
Third HBP against us this series? When do we start throwing back?
That's it. I'm taking lip-reading classes.
Skip with a laserbeam up the middle, 5 hole on Rogers, so hard that Dre couldn't score from second, RA for Uribe
Good time for a gs uribe
Uribe with a looooong fly ball to the wall in center, Rasmus caught it running against the wall, Dre tags and scores from third
Wow, Uribe crushed that.
so close
holy damn, great running play by Uribe at third to get Encarnacion
We only got 1 run from bases loaded no out? Are we reverting to the May 2013 Dodgers?
Good inning, Ricky
38 pitches in 2 innings isn't great, but still
@Saxy - Uribe blasted one that Rasmus made a really good play on, inning-changing play
Crawpappy with a hard single up the middle
PUIG! Yas with a laserbeam off th wall in left, CC scores from first!
Nice RBI double by Puig there, but Psycho Lyons is (correctly) ripping him for standing there and admiring it instead of running.
Puig's gonna be hit next inning...
2-0 LA
AG gets him over with a grounder
Hanley, you're not THAT hot. That thing was two feet out of the strike zone. Especially this ump's strike zone.
yeesh - Hanley looked awful in that AB
that was poor, gotta get him home from third with less than 2 outs
Nice play by MEllis to get Izturis
hard liner to left but right at Skip
fly out to center, nice inning Rick
AJ gets on with a single up the middle. seems like there have been a ton of those this series
Skip draws the walk, first and second, nobody out
Uribe pops out to short, 1 out
Bill Plunkett @billplunkettocr 1m
Ex-#Giants closer Brian Wilson is scheduled to throw for scouts in LA area Thursday. #Dodgers will have scouts there. Had TJ surgery in 2012
MEllis Ks and lets the ump know what he thinks of his strike zone
oh no, please no Wilson
yeesh - Crawdaddy so far behind the fastball
2 on, no out wasted
I do like the fact we are getting on base though
Wow! Great catch by Puig against the bullpen wall/fence
Another great catch by Puig
Un'roided Melky pops out to short
hanley with a nice running catch in short left
ump goes ouch
Ump gets nailed
Shit. How many times have the Giants tried to leave SF? At least twice?
The ump looks like he's 19 years old!
Hey ump. Try standing behind the catcher and not off to the side. It will protect you and you'll actually be able to call balls and strikes correctly. Just a suggestion
throw strikes, Ricky
good recovery, Ricky
Rogers giving Puig something to swing at tonight
First and second, no out again, after AG's single
Hanley is off after fouling those balls off his leg
The Toronto D helps us out again, Rancho Ardiendo for AJ
I'd like a couple runs here please and a side of fries.
god DAMMIT
terrible K by AJ
terrible low strike called with the one-armed ump
Jesus. This strike zone is starting to piss me off. That must have been payback for the passed ball that hit him.
That was payback for missing that ball
take more pitches, fools!
Clean single here Skip.
Damn that was a big opportunity missed.
8 stranded.
ugh
this is going to come back to haunt us
nasty breaking ball from Ricky to get Not-Chico Lind
damn ump, you called that a strike before
Throw strikes, Ricky!
yeesh
just like that, all gone
2-2, only 1 hit for Toronto, Nolasco up to a million pitches
I don't like the commercial, but I think I have a bit of a thing for the sales girl in that Honda ad.
damn - Crawford just missed a Dre homer
this is headed down a super frustrating path
that was a halfhearted attempt on that grounder
Cmon, Paco, finish this inning
Somebody needs to tell these goddamn Canadians to stop interfering with the ball in play.
Ethier stays hot.
things are not breaking right tonight
cheezus, great pickup, awful throw by Hanley
another 2-out hit coming up
good work, Paco
throw strikes, Chris
o
ver
throwing
take it easy, Chris
finish this!
League? We lose.
With all these hits and so few runs, we definitely seem like the May 2013 Dodgers
as soon as Matt goes on the DL, the noffense returns
Steve Lyons said "one of the hotter daughters" instead of "one of the hotter Dodgers."
MEllis returned to earth tonight
Cmon Belli, keep it tied
what a wonderful way to start the inning
Melky, you can go to hell
PR Davis steals on the first pitch
that was brutal
what the hell was that?
Poop.
Belli, you gotta cover that
this'll be a fun plane ride home to then play the Reds
balls
Beli was due for a dud
League coming in. White flag.
Welp, back to hoping AZ loses.
well done, Brandon
Well, that coulda been a lot worse. HanRam still to come.
Puig walks to leadoff the inning, AG up
Lead-off base runner.
awful K
TURF!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
No way. We tied it?!?!
On that?!
@Sax a single by Dre that did a turf hop over Rasmus' head. Puig was running and scored from first
oops - i thought that said "on what?!"
Eric Collins had a heart attack on that scoring play.
League is still in
And the Dodgers get ready to give it right back.
jesus guys, do you not want to win this?
fuck, Urine.
That's on Gonzalez. Shit.
Makes up for it, somewhat, on that play. Lawrie 'roid-raging in the dugout.
Two scoreless from League? Even he looks shocked.
Great work, Brandon!
MELLIS BOMB
Mellis!
Uribe and Mellis combine to give us an extra inning lead. Who would have thought?
PUIG BOMB
PWEEEEEG!
"Well dere's always hockey, eh?" - Jays' fan
fuck yeah
2-RBI double for Ethier. This is ridiculous.
Still don't feel comfortable bringing in Marmol.
Holy shit!
That happened!!!
Why Kenley?
this fucking team
@Orel 7:49
"When you have glass, why drink out of plastic?" - Mrs. FB
We make party!
I'm saving up for FB's ticket.
Mrs. FB is a wise woman.
Cubs up 6-0! Cincy up 3-0 on the gnats.
Wow.
D-Bags get 2 runs. Now 6-2 Cubs.
