Chris Capuano (3-6, 4.63) vs. Todd Redmond (1-1, 4.32).
The first-place Dodgers haven't lost in nine days, and are 4-0 since the All-Star Break (one of four undefeated teams since the break, along with the Rays, Orioles, and Mariners). So if there's any way to push the baseball gods about as far as they can go, it's by starting Chris Capuano, who won his last start (July 11, a 6-1 victory where Cap went 6.1 scoreless innings with 8 Ks), but hasn't lasted seven innings since May 18 (the only time he made it all year).
As for the Blue Jays, still playing on that shag-carpet-like worn astroturf: I guess they've got a diamond, and they've got nine men. So "let's play ball", with all the baseball gusto that Canada's last remaining MLB team can muster:
Oh man, I think I'm gonna puke.
197 comments:
Marmol called up. May God help us all.
^ Well, that's another way to push the baseball gods.
Does League now think, "Yes! I'm not the worst guy out here anymore!"
A bullpen with both Marmol & League?
Where's Jeff Shaw when you need him!
Cmon, Cap, keep the good pitching going
At least Dominguez doesn't get the stigma of getting demoted for Marmol.
Ken Gurnick @kengurnick 1m
The Dodgers have changed Dominguez from optioned to the 15-day disabled list with a left quad strain.
I've been mesmerized by the GIFs of Greinke's sweet swing all day.
Wow, that song is horrible!
@BJ: Don't you know it. My trip to Skydome (1992) suffered from permanent aural damage thanks to that song. Will have to tell you about the experience someday. I still have nightmares.
Let's do this, party people. Let's break 200 comments today.

Redmond's on the mound, ready to go.
The mound is surrounded by green carpet.
Crawford, batting .284, grounds to first.
Puig Ks
A-Gon grounds to short for the 6-3 out.
Easy 1-2-3 inning for Redmond there. No pressure, Cap!
Pressure cap.
Reyes pops to short (Punto). 1 out.
Roof is open today.
Speaking of Ryan Braun, here's Melky Cabrera!
Melky grounds to Punto, who throws a bit wide left but A-Gon snags it. Two out.
Cap walks Bautista, ball 4 was way inside.
2-0 to Encarnacion. Cap already looks wild.
Encarnacion weakly flies to Puig in right.
0-0 through 1.
SF already up 1-0 on Cincy at AT&T Park. They're playing a weird doubleheader today in which Game 2 is a makeup game for a Cincinnati rainout, so Cincy will be the "home" team.
MLB giving the Giants yet ANOTHER advantage.
Ramirez called K. 1 out
Ethier hits it on the button, but flies to right. Two outs.
Mellis Ks.
0-0 through 1.5.
This is not good, guys.
0-0. We still in it.
Redmond is perfect through 2. A NO-HITTER.
Omg. Y'all gotta go to AM570 and watch the Japanese animation on Braun. Too fking funny
Psycho just did a little bit from the hotel suites up in center field. Nice.
Federowicz breaks up the no-hitter!
@BJ, give me the link to the animation please
Yes BJ. The link.
Bill Plunkett @billplunkettocr 1m
Carlos Marmol on waiving no-trade rights for deal to #Dodgers: "This is a good team. How could you say, ‘No?’ It’s better than Chicago, no?”
DT @gggiants 9m
The Giants still have the Dodgers in 2nd place on their standings flag pole.
2-0 Jays.
Puig single.
2 on, 1 out for Dre.
KRod traded to Orioles. Kinda glad we didn't get him; I'd rather not have wifebeaters on the team.
LasordasLair @LasordasLair 51s
yesssss! Ethier ground rule double scores Gonzo, 2-1 Jays in the fourth.
Missed the scoring. got sidetracked watching Looney Toons.
2-2 after a MEllis RBI single.
Fuck Gogo Inflight. Missed a bucnh of the game.
Bless Gogo Inflight, for I can now add masterful insight in this space during the game.
Love the Capriati bit!
De La Rosa HR means 3-2 Jays.
Then Davis double. Damnit.
I can't get the link. Got it off Facebook. Go to 570 Facebook page
Going swimming. Will keep hoping till I return
4-2
4-2 on a sac fly.

Sonofabitch, Capriati, get your shit together.
Just read how now Kemp is saying Braun should give up the MVP. Or KemVP or whatever we called it back then.
Dustin Nosler @FeelinKindaBlue 3m
Carlos Marmol up in the 'pen. This will get messy. #Dodgers
score some runs!
Puig HBP.
Puig steals second but Agon will strikeout
AWALK.
DO IT HANRAM! Bring 'em in.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bautista HR makes it 5-2.
so is Ned on the horn for another starter?
oh god, Donnie has thrown up the white flag
Marmol Time!
(cries)
Please tell me it's not Marmol. Or worse, League.
he's got a mild version of the yips, doesn't he?
Fuckinhell, what is happening?
ump has a wide strike zone
Gameday scout: Carlos Marmol is having trouble locating his slider, missing the strike zone with his last three.
The Marmol will destroy us all.
2 on. 2 out.
throw strikes, stupid
2 more gins ordered.
In play. Out(s)
Okay maybe destroy us all was a bit hyperbolic.
Jerry gets us a run closer!
JHai Kid!
HaiRston HomeRun!
FedEx's double chases Redmond
Bill Plunkett @billplunkettocr 1m
How starved are Blue Jays for starting pitching? Todd Redmond just got brief standing ovation. Leaving after 5 2/3 IP, 3 runs, 7 hits
Super Secret Dusty Fact: When I fly home from a trip, I like to rock a lot of Katy Perry re-mixes.
Please don't tell anyone!
Tell me there's some here who doesn't do the same.
Who the fuck is Brett Cecil?
this dude's strike zone has an extra 3-inches around it
I have extra three inches.
Around my mid-section.
shit. i have to wash my vehicle. i don't want to go outside in this heat.
(cries)
*listens to Katy Perry re-mixes*
(cries)
SINEAD!!!!!!
Great pickup Ned.
how many pitchers can we designate to "low-leverage" situations?
Can we send Marmol back to the minors and never call him up ever again?
heh League is up in the pen
Rancho ArDREendo
take a pitch, Dre
Rancho Ardiendo for Ethier.
Dre walks and Puig scores
Rancho MEllisendo
Nice work, Dre.
@FB
Your Sister's Def.
Basehit ties it up!
Mellis single! Hairston HBP! Rancho Ardiendo again!
MELLIS!
damn ump
sheesh - FedEx looked mortal on that one
Well back in the game at least.
SAFE you sumbitch
you've been fucking us all game
You on point, FB?
@DB Punto nailed the pitcher with a line drive, he recovered to scoop it home, the catcher never really caught it cleanly and trapped it against his chest protector but didn't really have control until after Dre slid through him
All the time, Dee
keep them at 8 fellas
@FB
Thx for that re-Capriati. I'm now following this GT under protest.
uhh League coming in
keep them at 12, fellas
8-6 jays. Sorry i am caught at a dinner
You're like butter, FB.
"ReCapriati". Nice.
Keep them in double digits, League.
cmon, Brandon, finish off this inning
Did that for you, Saxy,
not no parkay, not no margarine
Strickly butter.
crap, Hairston's throw was a little high pulling AG off first
Yikes. We cannot afford to give League more outs to work with.
FedEx throws out Izturis at second
Aaaaand there's the obligatory League hit.
Favorite baseball references in classic hip-hop?
#KeepMyBasesLoadedLikeThe NewYorkMets
#GotMoreHitsThanSadaharuOh
followed by a terrible throw by FedEx
Fer fucks sake.
League Ks him to keep them at 8
Clueless Magic @CluelessMagic 6s
By my calculation we'll need at least 3 runs the rest of the way.
#threepointshot
CIN up 9-2 over Hated Ones.
Lincecum's hair: dirty
Babe Ruth was good against the white boys but he couldn't hit a *player* like Doc Gooden
Puig walk. Was that a good at-bat?
How did Crawdaddy get on?
Ageless Darren Oliver still in the league.
CC singled to center.
FUCK YEAH A-GON!!! You True Blue, mang.
AG you magnificent son of a bitch
A-Gon the Conqueror!
DRE!
Dre with the liner down the line barely gets over the wall
Dre Day!
(dry humps Dre)
@DB AG's homer was a blast to dead center, Dre's was a low liner that barely snuck over the wall
I f*cking love this team. So much.
Dre Day, indeed.
We gots this, lads.
Landing now so can't see the end. But surely we gots this.
Good to be back in LA (throws sign)
Gnats lose 9-3. Now they go on the "road" for the second of a double header.
@DB you should hit the airport bar to watch the end of the game
Cmon, Beli, we need a clean inning
and Collins immediately jinxes Beli
oops, 2-out single given up by Beli, Batista up
FB nervous
What the hell? I left the office to a 8-3 deficit and get home to lead? I love this shit! I'm drinking a beer!
Come on Belli, bring it home.
cmon, Beli, finish this!
Huge K of Joseph the Baptist!

Thata boy Belli!
Jansen cometh
Kenley coming in
cmon, Kenley, how about a clean inning

Encarnacion flies to shallow center

Don't worry about the base runner. Get the next guy out.
Don't lose this kenley
Fuck Adam Lind
Damn. Ground rule double.
Throw strikes!
Fuck 3-1
Jansen making this harder than it needs to be
Well that sets up the double play.
Get ahead of this guy.
One more Kenley.
10-8, B9, 2 out...
Come on kenley!

DodgerzGM @DodgerzGM 30s
Who would have thought the Dodgers would win a game where Capuano, Marmol and League all pitched?
that was crazy
how did we win that?
Looks like i missed one hell of an ending to the game. Fuck. We won though.
We make partay!
Still 7 posts away from 200.
Cubs up 1-0. But I think it is illegal for them to win two in a row.
Gnats in a doubleheader. Hopefully they lose this one, too.
I hope the seagulls shit on them too.
A-Gon HR
Gnats up 3-0.
Oops forgot to link:
http://t.co/tMeGpsfKsE

Arizona ties it on a Prado HR. 1-1
Rox lost
Gnats lead is now 4-2.
Now 5-3 gnats.
And 7-1 D-Bags
10-3 douches.
Reds have had runners the last few innings, but haven't come through. Lead-off guy got on now in the 8th.
PGT up!
