Post-Game 72 Thread: Kissing Your Sister

DODGERS 3, ANGELS 1

Well, this one counts in the win column, but that's about it. We feel like making party, but it just doesn't have that make party feeling. In fact, it feels more like kissing your sister.

Nonetheless, we'll take it! We'll take anything we can get. Except Kevin Youkilis, I sure hope.

Chris Capuano continues to dominate, raising his season record to 9-2 and maintaining a stellar 2.60 ERA. All Star Game, anybody? On the offensive side, Dee Gordon, who hadn't had a hit since last Sunday's walk-off single to beat the White Sox, tripled, singled, stole a base, and scored twice. Non-bunting works -- who knew?

Tomorrow we move to the rubber game. Dodgers seek to even up the season series in the final game  the matchup for the 2012 season. All in a day's work, folks. Now let's all get out there and enjoy a Saturday night propelled by the spirit of victory. And by other spirits we may pay premium price for at swank bars.

Game 64 Thread: June 13 vs. Angels, 7p

Nathan Eovaldi (0-2, 1.93) vs. C.J. Wilson (7-4, 2.39).

No support is exactly what the Dodgers have given young Nate Eovaldi this year — in his three starts filling in for Ted Lilly, the Dodgers have scored a grand total of three runs. That works out to...oh...let's see...carry the one...ONE RUN PER GAME. Let's get this kid some runs!

(Oh, and Nomo and Sax will be at tonight's game. Post a comment if you want to meet up.)

Game 62 Thread: June 11 vs. Angels, 7p

Chris Capuano (8-2, 2.82) vs. Garrett Richards (1-0, 1.13)

Welcome to LOS ANGELES, Angels! Let us know if you need directions to anything as we know you are unfamiliar with LOS ANGELES. We're glad to have you here and we hope you enjoy your stay.

Last week, Richards filled in for the injured Jered Weaver and earned his first career win by going eight innings over the Mariners (4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 Ks). Let's hope that win was his last. Dodgers return from what most would consider a successful road trip, having gone 7-3 and swept the Phillies after getting off to a rocky start in Denver. But the visiting road team Angels have a head of steam themselves, seeming to have righted their ship after a poor start to the season. Angels now stand at three games over .500 and three games back of AL West-leading Rangers. Let's put a stop to their momentum now and send them all the way back home!

Sax's note: Mrs. Sax and I really need two more Dodgers t-shirts, so we will be there tonight! Oh yeah, and GO KINGS!!!
