Tweets Of The Night: Dodgers Lose Tonight And Series To Red Sox

The Dodgers find themselves in an unfamiliar place as it’ll be the first time since July 7 that they’ll play the rubber game of a series.

After taking game one of the series behind a strong outing from Ricky Nolasco, the Dodgers were done in by one inning yesterday afternoon as Hyun-Jin Ryu gave up four runs in the first inning.

Chris Capuano is on the mound tonight and hasn’t fared too well in his last three starts, while Jake Peavy will pitch for the Red Sox. Peavy has been solid with the Red Sox and  is 13-2 with a 2.27 ERA in his career against the Dodgers, including a 6-1 record at Dodger Stadium.

With the series on the line tonight, let’s get to the tweets of the night.

The #Dodgers drop their first series since losing 2 of 3 at Pittsburgh on June 14-16. The 18-series unbeaten streak is a franchise record.

Mike Napoli is a #SteakAndEggs man. Sent a ball halfway up the LF Pavilion. 8-1, #RedSox.

Jake Peavy is batting for himself in the top of the eighth inning with runners on first and second. Lines out to Marmol. #RedSox #Dodgers

Shane Victorino homers to left field, nearly the same spot as Saltalamacchia. They’re not saying “Victorin-ooooooo”. #RedSox 6, #Dodgers 1.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia takes Chris Withrow deep. Two-run shot. #RedSox 5, #Dodgers 1.

Had no idea that Mike Napoli is Amish.

I hate Victorino. I hate hate hate him. Ok maybe hate is a strong word, but I strongly dislike him, and his gross scraggily beard

Through 3.5 innings, #Dodgers trail 3-0. Nick Punto will lead off the bottom of the inning for the Boys in Blue. #BOSvsLAD

Xander Bogaerts doubled to rightcenter scoring Will Middlebrooks with his first MLB RBI. 3-0 Red Sox.

— Nick Cafardo (@nickcafardo) August 26, 2013

No way Bogaerts should get an RBI for that.

Jake Peavy strikes out Carl Crawford, and the Dodgers have no hits through three innings. Flea is here.

#Dodgers down 2-0 heading into the bottom of the 3rd. #BOSvsLAD

— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 26, 2013

At least Capuano got out of it. Hope the offense came to play tonight. #Dodgers

Chris Capuano gets out of the inning on a 6-4-3 DP. #RedSox 1, #Dodgers 0.

Mike Napoli’s RBI ground rule double gives the #RedSox a 1-0 lead in the first, one out. #BOSvsLAD

Pedroia was out. But that was about as close as it gets. #challengeflag

— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) August 26, 2013

Dodgers had asked Crawford if he’d mind waiting till off-season b4 formal intro at Dodger Stadium, cuz Victorino was here
