Chris Capuano (4-7, 4.74 ERA) vs. Andrew Cashner (8-8, 3.55 ERA)
Capuano goes tonight to try to prove he should remain the fifth starter over recently-acquired Edinson Volquez. But really, doesn't it just come down to who is the lesser to two evils? The fact that we're even having a fifth starter competition at this point in a season where we're 10.5 games up with only 28 games to play seems absurd. They're both crap; Cap as a starter (however oddly symmetrical his pitching stats above may be) and Edinson out of the pen. I guess we have to have something to complain about in an otherwise positive stretch run. We keep this winning up, and the Stat Lickers will start in again complaining when we get a reliever warmed up in the pen but don't use him.
Today is the last day before September call-ups. Ned says he expects to bring up 5-7 guys from the minors, but not make any more acquisitions. Also in the mix is the return of Matt Kemp. With roster expansion and a comfortable lead in the division, this should allow Mattingly to give guys some needed days off so they're rested for the post season. The day off and the off day seemed to be just what Adrian Gonzalez needed, and it showed last night.
Yes, I said it. Post season. Better get ready.

That image looks like the lesser of two weevils.
(And I thought the stilts over carp stuff was bad.)
No Ellises, as far as the eye can see
(cries)
Hey Dusty...
#whiff
While yall want to pile on a brother?
I hate bugs. Just sayin.
Well I like it, Dusty.
I'm lookin fo a hooooome,
Just lookin for a hoooome
Gotta keep pitching
We need a good one from you, Cap
Holy shit, the game's on! I've been in Netflix kiddie-show marathon hell all day.
There goes the no-no.
Back from getting ingredients to make a tomato risotto with basil, Vinny!
I'm at my ma's house giving the care giver a break. She asked me if her mom could spend the night and watch the game with us. I said of course, forgetting that they are pod ray fans. Our boys better come through tonite or the bitch in me may have to make an appearance.
I hope we don't lose the care giver in this ruckus. :o
I think the bitch in me is always evident.
Let us know if you need backup over there, Karen!
Nice play by HanRam.
I'd just like to take this opportunity to say, FUCK CASHNER!
I'd just like to take this opportunity to say, FUCK THE GIANTS!
@Dusty...Our caregiver is a nice young lady who takes very good care of my mom. But there are just some lines we don't cross in our familia.
I'm in need of a ruckus.
Come on Urine. Don't hold back.
I like that Karen's household has an omertà .
Free Drew Butera!
TFed blows. We should have gone out and gotten Kurt Suzuki or someone like that as a catching backup.
Grimace sighting. SD broadcast.
The pie rats picked up Justin Morneau? Interesting.
*sniffs glue and primo's cocaine*
boring game. we need runs.
Dusty, I'm placing an order for two bowls of risotto. My poor husband will be eating spaghetti with jar sauce.
when did Hova sign with the Pod Rays?
Cap strikes out Jay Z.
That's cold BJ. Risotto for you but damn spaghetti for hub?
Booooooooo!
You're not helping yourself, Capuano.
Looks like one of Cap's 5 run games.
The way he's looking, I should probably hope for only 5 runs.
Ho-hum. Just ANOTHER ridiculous Puig assist.
Puig being Puig...again!
Great throw Yasiel!!
damn! Had to go get a beer from the fridge and missed Puig's assist.
Just saw Puig's throw on replay. Dude throws nuclear missiles unlike Juan Pierre's scuds.
Tie going into the bottom of the 7th in Phoenix...tres y tres
@sanfran: I was gonna share. But now I just decided to call out for Italian. Channeling Lasorda
A woman after my own heart <3
Dammit, Puig.
Nice play, Yas
Great inning, Cap
I want the ShitBags to lose but can't pull the trigger on rooting for the gnats.
Attaboy, Dre!
Nice work, Juan!
Dre holds at third
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Great. It's up to FedEx.
Skip with halfaflare, 2 outs
FUCK!
yeesh
I need so much bed
Go snatch this win, ladies and gents
Gnite
Cap is still pitching?
Cap has only given up 1 run?
@53, I spit my beer reading that shit after I refreshed the page
Finally the lead off man gets on.
Alright, let's score these guys, Puig!
here we go y'all. let's get some runs for fucks sake.
fracking jints lose...bittersweet
Yasiel almost came out of his shoes on that one.
you're going to regret leaving Cashmutt in, Bud.
giants aren't good for anything.
Who's Michael young??
Cuz now he's a dodger
yes yes yes!
Agone comes through. 1-1
YAHOOOO FOR AGON!!!
GONZO!
the Texas Ranger?
The Dodgers got Michael Young?
The FUCK does LA need with another SS?
From the phillies
He played 3B. Hitting 276
I think he's more of a 3B at this point.
Why doesn't Gonzalez get to score on that!?!?
That's the wrong one, Phillies! Idiots. We want Utley.
Rancho Urineindo!
On second thought.
aww fuck. what a waste.
At least we're tied
It's time to watch the game with my hands over my eyes.
hova hova hova
UJTD!!
How about the Chris Capiano (per Prime Ticket)?
fair woohoo
FedEx, you coulda been safe if you'd hustled you worthless lump.
MEllis!
no. fuck no. mehllis
damn. would have been two on and one out for pooweeg here.
Late call...but a good one.
sit down.shut up.
two more outs.
Welcome Michael Young!
Jansen ain't messing around.
one out to go
Sittdown beeeyotch!
Right on, Kenley.
nasty curve. we make party!
I wanna have KJ's babies
Thanks for taking us through it, Vinny!
I want to make sweet, sweet love to Skip.
i'm going to make sweet sweet love to this beer.
ciao,y'all
Sorry, I checked out for a while. Michael Young?
Hanley insurance. Dee ain't going to cut it if Hanley goes down. He also spells Uribe. Do real downside for a rental.
Agree, Neeebs. People who whine about this pickup like to whine about pickups. Dude can spell our guys down the line now that we have a near insurmountable lead, can play a few positions, gets clutch hits, probably the best clubhouse guy out there...
People crack me up in their whinging on Twitter about Young. It's like, man , we have almost infinite money and a strong desire to win. What's to hate?
All the shit I hear from bitchy jints fans about our store bought team is really old crap.
Living here is great for so many reasons but I guess I have lost perspective of one thing-because LA ownership aren't "Good Guys" by any stretch of the imagination-that's that I want LA to win. Period.
Hadn't thought through the single-malts to we should have another SS or a better 3rd baseman...thanks for the wakeup, SOSGers
Right on, SFDodgerFan. All I caught from that was "aljsfnijdfngkjdsnfgjnds akjsndfkjan sajdnfkjasdnf single-malt akdsnfjandvjkn asjdnf oaksndfkjsn ksfn SOSG."
That's all I need to know.
PGT going up tomorrow morning!
