STGT: vs. Cubs, 1p

Matt Kemp gets a lucky glove on the ball in yesterday's game.

From Dodgers.com:

Chad Billingsley starts against the Cubs on Thursday, but two of the relievers that follow him -- Jeff Weaver and knuckleballer Charlie Haeger -- appear to be in a battle for the swingman job Weaver filled last year. Haeger's ability to pitch on consecutive days could allow the Dodgers to keep an 11-man pitching staff and an extra bench player. Manager Joe Torre said Manny Ramirez will make his defensive debut this week, and it could come in this game. Ramirez has been exclusively a designated hitter in games so far.

Wow, that actually looks like a real lineup.

Let's score some runs, boys.

Manny supposed to get ~4 innings of work at LF.

I tried really hard to find something to like last season, but Eric Collins is...not good.

Who are the two guys on the Dodgers announcing team? Eric Collins and Psycho?

Josh S. said...

Haeger slacks. (I'm overdue for bringing that one back.)

Tied 2-2.

Josh S. said...

I heard the Dodgers go ahead 3-2, but I somehow missed the other 4 runs when it became 7-2.

Ayala pretty much sucks.

Kyle Baker said...

The Collins experiment needs to end.

I have the Dodgers beating the Cubs to play Old Dominion in the next round.

Hey, how come no one is mentioning Guillermo Mota? He of "we're carrying 12 pitchers and Mota right now."

Maybe I should say that no one is complaining about the lack of Mota (the pitcher, not the. . .you know).
