Stat of the day:
Your LA Dodgers are first in MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL in both Batting Average, and ERA.
I never thought I'd see that stat. Ever.
Very cool.

and very amazing
Slappy and Russ are gone on a total of 4 pitches. But O-Dog draws a 6-pitch walk. Blake up.
- Kyle... CrossRoads ChurchBlake way out in front on the curve ball, strike 3.
- Kyle... CrossRoads ChurchI'm as patriotic as the next guy, but couldn't we come up with something less hideous than those red hats?
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."Babe Herman:I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but couldn't we come up with something less hideous than those red hats?
Dave, you have some of the best sig lines ever. Gotta love this newest version.
I don't mind the hats. It's not like all the teams could wear Blue hats. Half of them already wear that. Now, with hats... who does that? That might be cool.
- Kyle... CrossRoads ChurchAn uneventful bottom of the first for Stults, unless you think a leadoff double and two walks, yet keeping them scoreless is eventful. 
Kemp looks lost at the plate these last few games. Just some terrible ABs.
- Kyle... CrossRoads ChurchSince I could only make it through the top of the first with the Rox announcers on MLBEI, can somebody give me an update on why Furcal is not playing. He's been hurting us, but we all know Castro is a late inning def. replacement, so it's odd he's starting two days in a row. Don't tell me Raffy's back stiffened up in the cool weather.
Yeah, and those red caps are horrible. What must the Big Dodger in the Sky be thinking?
Holy hell, these red hats...
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness - the blog! For Dodger analysis, reviews, and hilarity.Loney stole a base!!!
- Kyle... CrossRoads ChurchGreat, Vinny is saying that Furcal has "issues" with his back.
If he's hurt it again, that's a big problem.
On the other hand, it would explain why he's been so bad...

They used to be blue (I have one and wore it all day today) and those looked cool. These red ones are a bit overwhelming (the Reds, Cards, Phillies and Angels would all be fine). Better get used to them. Vin says they'll be wearing them July 4 and September 11, too.

He mentioned that at the start of the game and said Torre downplayed the concern. Torre downplays all concerns, so I don't know how to take that.

Question on April 6, 2009: What are the three things that could derail the Dodgers from certain success?
1) Manny spending significant time on the DL
2) Furcal's back repeating history
3) The pitching staff faltering
First one essentially happened. We're staring at the possibility of the second. As for the third, what a nice surprise.
- Kyle... CrossRoads ChurchMaking De la Rosa look good.
- Kyle... CrossRoads ChurchHe doesn’t believe in using oven mitts, nor potholders.
Bison knocks in the first run.
The guy they couldn't touch for three innings can't get anyone out in the 4th. Bases loaded.
suicide squeeze but fouled off by Castro.
So instead Castro singles in the 3rd run.
Afternoon, Gents. Took a peek at the game and saw Slappo triple home three....all is good.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Pierre clears the bases! I declare this one "over".
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness - the blog! For Dodger analysis, reviews, and hilarity.And he now walks the pitcher to load the bases again? After striking out the sides last inning? DeLa Rosa is something less than consistent.
Let the ersatz son in law play chef. He has been begging me for the chance to dazzle on the grill. He best not burn the ribeyes or there will little left to bury. Poor Paula, being a widow at her age.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Babe Pierre blasts a triple to the wall making it 6-0 and getting Jim Tracy a lot closer to taking over Clint Hurdle's office.
Mike Scioscias tragic illness:Pierre clears the bases! I declare this one "over".
Yes, that would seem to be the case. Did Hoffman get another rib? Damn, the kid knows what to do with runners in scoring position.

His long fly was the only one they got out this inning,
