COMMENTS:
- Welcome home, Dodgers, says Eric Stephen of True Blue LA. Just check your speaker volume before exploring Eric's post.
- A win tonight would "almost certainly" give the Dodgers their first perfect April at home, writes Jon "I know Alyssa" Weisman at Dodger Thoughts.
- Who is Josh Geer? Just another rookie pitcher...the Dodgers haven't seen before. Uh-oh. (I know it's not Geer's first major league start, but still.)
- Scott Elbert has been optioned to Double-A Chattanooga, presumably to make room for Cory Wade, writes Tony Jackson.
- Going to tomorrow's game? Ready your Elvis costume: The theme of the post-game fireworks show is "Vegas Night" (this guy can wear the same outfit!).
UPDATE:
More roster moves, via Dodger Thoughts:
The Dodgers purchased the contract of Jeff Weaver and activated Cory Wade, while optioning Blake DeWitt to the minors. Doug Mientkiewicz was transferred to the 60-day disabled list.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 454 of 454hahhahaha a pitch out for loney
yeah i saw that, but the other are supposed to get out of the way.
Gameday is getting very weird.
martin should have a great dentist visit this time around.
I'm running a pool. Number of games before Torre puts Martin in the #8 hole?
ok ok
Geico! Ever seen molasses round third?
I just dont think Torre understands the concept of wanting to get your best hitters the most plate appearances.
Nice snag of #400, Koufax.
Alright Kemp!
all in a nights work orel
hiroki!
a hero sighting
i need a hero!
Whoo Bison Strength!
keep em coming
more insurance, I think this one's on ice
haha stults is pinch hitting?
maybe stults can hit better than he pitched last night
Eric Stults? Juan Castro can't pinch-hit?
Another run, 8-5!
This is the risk of trading a bench player for a bullpen guy. More pitchers, less hitters.
way to go eric
stults is no Darren Dreifort.
Stults is no Micah Owings.
Pitchers can't bunt with two strikes, they're supposed to swing.
lets see if broxton can find the plate tonight
The heart of the Pods is coming up.
pitching outside again.
didnt we learn anything about walking this chump in front of gonzo?
What is Broxton doing? When will he learn he needs to go inside?
lets see if he still looks better against a lefty.
walks the righty, strikes out the lefty, wtf.
that looked nice
Brox prefers lefties?
Broxton loves the right side of the plate. He pitches inside to lefties and outside to righties. The inside pitching heavily works in Broxton's favor.
y doesnt brox throw a change up?
ive always wondered that.
He does. Sometimes that fastball hits just 95.
Okay Brox, let's see you get a righty.
if he added a nice circle or straight change, hitters wouldnt be able to sit on a fb, the sliders nice, i just think a change would make him that much more effective
brox has been great this year. aside from the last outing.
Alright, Broxton, another save
game
I believe Brox K'd the side.
whats broxton intro music?
Good job, everyone!
nic isnt it big john?
if you read this whole thread it goes from chaos and hate to love and rejoice. haha
O-Dog is such a motormouth!
Sweet victory.
i dont know every game i went to last year didnt require a broxton.
I was worried there for a second. Sounded like Charlie Steiner was choking.
