Chris Capuano

Here we are, just over one-quarter of the way through the season and the Dodgers are riding high.  Injuries have been a factor, but the motto has been “Next Man Up.”  Last night, the next man was Andre Ethier, Matt Freaking Treanor and...

Matt Kemp carried the team is April, but has tanked in May.  His batting average is all the way down to a Superhuman-esque .375, but now the other guys are picking him up. Mark Ellis is still looking like an excellent addition to the team with a .38...

Gary A. Vasquez-US PRESSWIRE Sure, it’s only the Padres and Pirates, but why let that get in the way of a celebration? The Dodgers swept the Pittsburgh Pirates, winning Wednesday 4-1 and Thursday 3-2 for six wins in seven games. *On Wednesday,...

Yuck, huh?  What a crappy night for Pittsburgh Sports. The Pirates need to start hitting.  I know it’s obvious but that’s all their is too it. Neil Walker has just 1 hit in 13 at bats.  Unacceptable. Jose Tabata has 3 hits in 18 at bat...

I didn’t see anyone else mention this, so I will at the risk of The Little Freaking Punk at TheLFP calling me an A-Hole, I will report it. Hiroki Kuroda’s line on his first start:  5.2 IP/8 H/6 R/4 ER/1 HR/ 4 BB Of course, one of the guy...

BOXSCORE What I mean by that is that the Offensive Stars in each of the three games this season have been different.  Opening day it was Matt Kemp.  In game two it was the former Mr. Softee, Andre Ethier, and last night it was AJ and the kid (Dee G...
