Lit Up Again

I had to borrow this title from the rock group Buckcherry but in Coors Field, we are talking about a completely different kind of lit up. Chris Capuano got lit up for the second start in a row (4 1/3 IP, 5 runs), Brandon League came in and poured gasoline on the fire (1/3 IP, 2 runs) and the Dodgers never really in the game after holding a 2-1 lead in the top of the third inning. The Dodgers wasted a 4 hit, 2 RBI night by Adrian Gonzalez and 2 RBI by Matt Kemp. It is about time to call it quits on the Brandon League experiment. He lost his closers job about three weeks ago, His ERA has ballooned to 6.37 after yesterdays outing and it will be interesting to see what happens since the Dodgers claimed Carlos Marmol off of waivers from the Chicago Cubs. Marmol has always been an enigma as he has had great stuff, he just has had a hard time harnessing it. Maybe the Dodgers should have traded League for Marmol.
