At least for another day, Rox win 6-1 in spite of Ichiro going 2-for-4. And Dodgers take 2 of 3 from Texas.

I was worried after the first inning, but Billingsley didn't let Furcal's two-run error upset him.

Yow, had no idea he took over the league lead in batting average.

And in hits as well.

Dodgers beat A's 5-4 in 10 innings. Rox streak ends as they get pounded by Tampa Bay 12-4.

Yay!

Once again, I didn't realize that the game was on the tube... Especially since it was a home game... But I did catch everything from the 8th inning on.

This time it's the Dodgers turn to lose 5-4. Kuroda made two mistakes and they were both deposited in the bleachers.

Yup.... Dodgers can't always come back from a one-run deficit.

At least the Padres and Giants lost as well.

Dodgers win another close battle with the A's, 3-2...

Next up: The despised Angels of Los Angeles/Anaheim/So Cal/Orange County/Disneyland...

With the win, Joe Torre passed Sparky Anderson for 5th on the all-time managers win list.

Could be interesting in Boston, Braves vs. Red Sox/ Kawakami vs. Dice-K (but I still hate interleague play )

Trivia tidbit: Sparky and I have the same high school alma mater (but not the same year, mind you... )

Well, it wasn't all THAT interesting. Dice-K got the crap beat out of him again, 4 innings, 6 runs, all earned, Braves won 8-2. Kawakami gave up just 2 hits in 6 innings for the win. I think we might see Dice-K going on the DL. Whether he's got anything physically wrong or not is a whole other issue.

^ Yow, he's gone from the penthouse to the basement in about a year's time...

Dodger pitching can't hold a lead and they lose to the (hated) Angels, 5-4.

Tonight the Weaver brothers face off, Jeff pitching for the Dodgers, Jered for the Angels.

Jonathan Broxton tries to lose the game for the Dodgers, but they hold on, 6-4.

Matsuzaka back on the 15-day DL. Did the Sox blame the WBC for this?

Jeez, I guess Ichiro IS on "performance enhancers..."

Good question because Iwakuma (who should have been the WBC MVP IMHO) is on the DL in Japan with elbow problems.
Wouldn't be surprised if pretty soon we start seeing contracts that have a "No WBC" clause.

Ehhh?

Broxton tries to blow another game, giving up two runs in the bottom of the ninth, but the Dodgers survive, 5-3.

I sure do miss Takashi Saito.

Angels throw six wild pitches and get hammered by the red-hot Rockies (winners of 17 of their last 18 games), 11-1.
