Box Score Bytes - Game 31

- How much does Moyer really have in the tank?  Look this was a fabulous story and all but in reality this was just that a nice story.  I really don't think Rox envisioned Moyer to be really be a everyday guy for a couple of months.  This was just an insurance policy...

- Are the fielders just in awe of the 49 year old?  Because in 7 starts Rox have committed 13 errors.  Yikes!  Season total is 26 errors.  No love for the senior citizen...

- Capuano is 5-0?  He was my sneaky pick when I did fantasy baseball years ago but really he was out of baseball in 2008 and 2009 and now sits at 5-0 (for god's sake he had two tommy john surgeries!).  When the Rox struggle at finding a stable pitching staff all you have to do is look at the Dodgers and really you don't need a bunch of aces.  Dodgers are doing it with smoke and mirrors with only one true ace in Kershaw followed by 33 year old Capuano, 34 year old Harang, 36 year old Lilly, and 27 year old Billingsley.  Now that the Dodgers have a owner's group willing to sign paychecks the Dodgers should be good for a very long time.  Thanks for playing Rox...thank goodness for two wild cards because that is the only way we will ever sniff the playoffs.

- 12-31-5 is the all time series win/losses/ties at Dodger stadium.  Losing the first game makes it tough to come back and win the next two...
