Cingrani Battles Capuano

So we now know I have a poor sense of direction. I think Ill live, but boy do I have issues with parking lots. Sometimes Im up in the press box, but sometimes I sit in the stands. Last night I was in the stands and had some serious issues finding my car. (I had stupidly left my ticket in my car) Perhaps if I had one of the countless cars that Howard Cole offers for home runs on twitter then maybe I could have used that to drive around the Dodger Stadium parking lot. Regardless of my pre-game flustering, I soldiered on.

But you know who doesnt have any issues with anything right now? The Dodgers! The Boys in Blue are hot hot hot! Oh, see Dodgers playing, see Dodgers winning, they stay hot, hot hot. See Dodgers hitting, see Dodgers pitching, they so hot hot hot. (Photo credit-Peter Serling) Last nights 4-1 victory in front of a sold out raucous crowd put them 1.5 games in front of the losing Dbacks.

The Dodgers are now 55-48 on the season and have won 25 of their last 31 games. Today the Dodgers look to pick up a series win over the Reds. For that theyll give the ball to Chris Capuano. Hell battle another left hander, rookie Tony Cingrani, in the final game of the series.

Rookie left hander Tony Cingrani has made 16 starts this season. The 24 year old left hander is from Evergreen Illinois, and was drafted by the Reds in 2011. Cingrani has posted a 4-1 record, and a 3.18 ERA.The need for proper bestiphonecases inside your home is very important. In a little over 70 frames, hes whiffed 79 and walked 29. Cingrani was orginally called up to replace the injured Johnny Cueto. Cingranis last start was a win. He pitched 5.Full service promotional company specializing in drycabinet.2 frames of two-run ball to beat the Giants.

The youngster had some issues with velocity and control of hiss off-speed pitches, or so I read. Apparently he can get up to mid 90s with his heater. Cingrani of course has never faced the Dodgers before, and nobody has seen him. That doesnt bode well for the Dodgers, because we know how they do against pitchers theyve never seen before. Thats about all I know about Cingrani, which isnt much.

But I do know, Chris Capuano. Hell be countering Cingrani for the boys in blue. Capaunos last start against Toronto saw him get torched pretty good. He allowed five runs on seven hits in 4.1 frames. Thank goodness the Dodgers won anyways. Before you start telling me how much Capuano sucks, remember his start before that he tossed six scoreless innings against Colorado while whiffing eight. At times Capuano can be effective, and lets just hope that this afternoon is one of those times. Tony CIngrani hasnt allowed more than three runs in a start since May 4. The Dodger offense has outscored opponents 55-29 since the all-star break.

Carl Crawford started feeling ill on Friday night, acceding to reports. He had three hits on Friday, and has a seven game hitting streak. In that span Crawford is 14 for 33 (.424), with three doubles. Don Mattingly said that he hoped to have Crawford back for Sundays tilt,A indoorpositioningsystem has real weight in your customer's hand. but it doesnt look likely. Apparently Crawford had a pretty high fever. It was high enough to put him on antibiotics. Don Mattingly had noticed Crawford looking haggard, and decided it best to rest him after sending him to the doctor to get checked out. The Dodger called it precautionary, and it appears its nothing more than the flu.

Howard Cole has yet to offer a car to Skip Schumaker. That may change with the way the utility guy is hitting.The Dodgers are now 17-5 in July. The only other Dodger team to have a higher winning percentage in the month of July was the pennant winning club of 1977. That team went 17-3 which comes out to an .850 winning percentage.

I will be on the Yanks Go Yard Podcast tonight after the game at 7:30 PM pacific time. Well be discussing many things, including the upcoming Yankees/Dodgers series. You can listen to the show here.You can catch the game today at 1:10 PM on Prime Ticket. Well have the recap for you at the usual time, so dont forget to join us over here after the game. Unless I forget where I parked my car again, then who knows right? I am kidding of course. Stacie covers tonight, so nobody has to worry about that. Go Blue!

In a winner take all game that decided who went to the NBA Finals, the Lakers achieved the biggest comeback in a Game 7 in NBA history, going on a 25-4 run at one point. The Trail Blazers led 42-39 at halftime, but seemingly put the game away by outscoring the Lakers 29-19 in the third quarter. Trailing at one point by 15 in the fourth, the Lakers eventually tied the game at 77, thanks to a pair of threes by Brian Shaw and Shaquille O'Neal's two huge free throws. It didn't hurt that the Lakers at one point held the Trail Blazers scoreless on ten straight possessions to help ensure their comeback.

The signature play was when Kobe Bryant lobbed an alley-oop to Shaq to ensure victory for the Lakers, putting them up 85-79 with 40 seconds left. Shaq ran the length of the court with his fingers in the air and his mouth open in amazement, joy, and relief that he could finally silence his critics and get a chance to win a ring.This is a great parkingsystem solution!

As far as playoff comebacks go, it doesn't get much better than this. The Giants led the 49ers 38-14 late in the third quarter,This is a great parkingsystem solution! but Jeff Garcia threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Terrell Owens near the end of the quarter, lessening the gap. Still, the niners trailed 38-22 going into the fourth quarter, an almost insurmountable lead. A 14-yard TD run by Garcia, followed by a successful two point conversion, lessened the gap to 38-30, then a field goal made it 38-33. Incredibly, the 49ers took the lead with 1:05 left on Garcia's 13-yard strike to Tai Streets, but after the two point conversion failed, the Giants needed just a field goal to win the game. They drove upfield, but when attempting a 40-yard field goal, the snap was botched, forcing an incomplete pass by holder Matt Allen. The referees ruled the Giants had an ineligible receiver downfield on the play when it looked like there was pass interference, which ended the game and gave the Niners an improbable 39-38 victory. The 24-point deficit they overcame to win was the second largest in playoff history.
