Samardzija in high school and later as a Cub
Chris Capuano (3-6, 4.54 ERA) vs Jeff Samardzija (6-9, 3.75 ERA)
Dodgers go for a franchise record 13 straight road wins and a shot at taking the four-game series in this, their third game of the stand at the Friendly Confines. The last team in the franchise to have won 12 road games in a row was called the Brooklyn Robins in 1924.
Here's hoping the team doesn't lay an egg today. Signs look good, as Cap has feathered his nest with a 7-0 and 1.55 ERA in his last nine starts against the Cubs. And, really, who hasn't?

AGon had played in 72 straight since May 12. Day off. Well deserved, holmes!
"Samarsda" - Kevin Kennedy on DodgerTalk yesterday.
Interesting facts re: the last game in the Brooklyn Robins 12-game road win streak:
Time of game: One hour, 20 minutes.
Attendance: 3,500
Both pitchers (Doak and Cooney) went nine innings.
There was only a home plate and 1B umpire.
Robins had two guys named Zack in the starting lineup.
Gotta keep pitching. Keep it going, Cap!
Gotta keep FB saying "gotta keep pitching"!
Oh, I thought he said "Gotta keep bitching." I was like, that won't be a problem.
Gotta keep pissing. Drank too much.
@Nomo
I have that covered, too.
I am so absolutely stoked for this game. Can't start soon enough.
Fun stat from Jon W.: If the Dodgers win today, they'll have gone 30-42, then 30-7.
Per Dad, "Legend: if your a baseball player you NEVER look at the horses B___s on the way to Wrigley or u lose!"
I would like to take this time to thank FOX for sparing us from Collins and Lyons today.
Shitty steal attempt.
Dre with warning track power
Just saw Dustys comment re winds blowing in. Guess the winds knocked down Dres would-be blast, and halted Crawfords would-be SB
Whole lotta nothing in the first, but they're making contact. (Hanley aside.)
Where are we in Cap's pattern? Is today his 5ER day?
Tomorrow is the long-awaited Barney-Fife matchup.
0-0 through 1.5.
I'm stuck at swim class so you guys need to update me!
(Yes, my backstroke needs work)
@BJ: someone stole your capital R
If they're going to interview David DeJesus this long, they could at least put up a photo of his wife.
4Ks for Samardzjia through two innings
@Gnomes: holy smokes on that picture.
At least I feel better that she is looking at her boobs, too.
Why is Puig bunting? At Wrigley?
@Sax: I make typos when I'm mad.
I make martinis when I'm mad.
Hello, here is a picture from Hanley's instagram:

throw strikes, Cap
woop! 543
did anybody else notice Puig's Al Sharpton medallion yesterday? Eric B would be jealous
1-0 through 4.5. Cap's pitch count so far is good
@BJ: 388 on Candy Crush
Anyone going to the soccer games today?
Are they on TV at all?
@Sax: 383. Was stuck on 382 until an hour ago!
FedEx with a double, Skip makes it to third, held by Eli
attaboy, Carl!
Monday still saying "Samarzda"
@Sax: just hit 384...it's ugly
Judging by the frequency of the commercials, men who watch baseball have E.D.

Didn't mean to write that twice. Phone choked. Lol
@BJ: 382 killed me as well. I lost a week on that one
I love Puig. He just doesn't give up
Didn't need to hear that Sax
League didn't give it up. Impressive.
Hey, does anyone know if Fox Sports is starting a new network?!
HOW DARE GUERRIER BE EFFECTIVE!
Hadn't heard, BJ.
Me no sabe,BJ.
Paco baby!
@BJ re FS1: I think I read directv, dish, and time Warner cable aren't carrying fox sports 1, with two weeks to go until launch. Good luck, guys
TWC doesn't carry anyone, and now no CBS or kcal. Glad we have Uverse
EK giving Donnie the MVP? What a blow job. Makes me miss Lyons.
Lyons wants to take Donnie's pants off
Thank ewe!
WOOOP!
attaboy, Cap! Attaboy, Kenley!
win
I am too drunk to do a PGT. And I don't have a computer with me here at the cantina.
Shit, this does not speak well for this PGT.
Dbacks, rays, giants, and Red Sox all tied at 1.
Rockies lose, D-Bags lose, Vagiants lose. San Diego down 2-0.
We now lead the NL West in +/-. We're at +13 while the D-Bags are at +12!
All other teams in the NL West lost!
Why don't you slackers not have a blog and don't blog about that blog!
I was able to pull it together somewhat and do a PGT!
