UPDATE: Kinda cool, Kinda horrible. From @DodgertownUSA:
From @truebluela:
Alvin & The Chipmunks just sang "America The Beautiful" at Dodger Stadium. Ellen DeGeneres called it the best vocal of the night
From Dodgers.com:
For the Dodgers, right-hander Chad Billingsley will be making his fifth and final preseason start as he hopes to build on his strong Cactus League showing in Arizona, where he had a 1.84 ERA over 14 2/3 innings. The Dodgers are expected to rest a few regulars during the day game including Manny Ramirez while catcher Martin is expected to serve as the club's designated hitter to get more at-bats before the Dodgers play in Pittsburgh on Opening Day.

@MLASF
Apparently, you'll be enjoying the breakfast of champions a lot more this year. Monasterios is officially in, per Torre.
I must warn you, I'm about to become very excited...
CARLOS MONASTERIOS HAS MADE THE TEAM!
AFJ:LAJOKAJHOHAKFHGFKJASHFKJHASG
A round of Monasteri-O's for everyone!
MLASF is making his Monasteri-O-face.

1 spot left, hurry. Please haha.
Never mind, just filled it.
Not at Dodger Stadium? See what you're missing — post updated.
Simon Manny. Nice.
This hasn't started too well.
Well, it could've been worse. Torii Hunter awarded the RBI of shame.
The RBI is so shameful, it doesn't even exist at all.
MLB providing free trial of At Bat. Looks pretty good so far.
@MLASF
Indeed. Actually, that term was shamelessly lifted off of Jay Jaffe, and I have proudly made it my own.
Vin Scully providing some light at the end of the spring training tunnel.
Belly #2 legging that one out.
Ausmus legging an out.
"I think they showed Fernando on the screen" - Vinny explaining the large cheer that seemingly was for Johnson at first thought.
So DeWitt can hit. Who knew?
How the hell didn't Carroll score?
Everyone's safe! Except for Carroll. Because he scored.
I forgot that I'm in SoCal, so I can actually watch the games on TV.
I'm feeling OK with not winning the Pineiro sweepstakes this winter.
XP!
XBXP
Martin!
Vin seems resigned to the fact that it's only a spring training game.
Remind me where Ethier has been? He didn't play yesterday either.
[Weird to type Ethier and either in same sentence.]
Abreu looks like a fucking pumpkin head.
Is Chad two innings ahead of his usual 5th inning meltdown? For one, he's telegraphing his pitch location. I can tell if the ball is going to be outside based on where he lines up, and for Ausmus to snag it, he has to scoot out and the batter knows not to swing.
Damn.
This game means nothing, this game means nothing, this game means nothing, this game means nothing, this game means nothing, this game means nothing, this game means nothing...
Jesus H Christ.
Please stay confident Chad. This is just an exhibition.
Fuuuu-UUUUCK this game. I'm going for a walk.
Did Vin's comment about the Yankees and Red Sox playing every day have any undertones?
Well, everyone's decided that Chad's going to suck this season. Awesome.
I've only decided that he's sucking today.
That was a short walk, by the way. Forgot my phone.
"Fuuuu-UUUUCK this game. I'm going for a walk."
so your gonna have Chad pitch to you then DB?
Who the hell is Corcoran?
I may have mentioned that I really hate losing to the damn Angels.
XP!
XP!
XP!!
Can't really complain about a line drive hit straight to the LF.
This game certainly is not a pitching clinic.
Those Lakers promos they run during commercials...I love LA stuff...gets me a little weepy. Hearing Chick's voice is what does it, but also the Big Shot Rob moment, and Fish clutching the trophy.
I want there to be one of those with the Dodgers. I mean, a modern one.
Why has Nick Green played center recently?
The new kcal dodgers promo is pretty cool. Minus the Eric Collins call of a matt kemp play.
Fernando Rodney = the REAL Flat Breezy
re new Dodgers promo:
Ironic to hear Broxton talking about sealing the deal.
Broxton better watch out with the seal deal. Might lose a hand.
At least Kuroda looks good.
DSB in full effect.
If the Angels can get a come-from-behind victory at home, I demand equal compensation.
Carroll looks hot today.
I love that story Vin just told about how there are more Dodger fans in the OC than Angel fans in LA...as someone who works in the OC, I hear it all the time about how the Angels are the best team in Southern CA. Yeah right
@GLG
From someone the works in LAC; You poor, poor bastard. I wouldn't last a week in such conditions.
Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday, Real baseball Monday,
Hell, real baseball tomorrow, if you're willing to stomach Yankees/Red Sox.
I'm still looking for an answer as to the earlier question I posed: "Who the fuck are Man United?"
@MLASF:
"Carroll looks hot today."
You got a little man-crush?
Fat Martin sucks too.
I'm a sucker for the wide eyes.
FROM NOW ON THEY COUNT
What's that like 5 losses in a row? I guess that makes us due for a win.
Okay, I have to say something. Where the hell did the media love affair with Ubaldo Jimenez come from? Seriously, his ERA was 3.47 last season and everyone's tabbed him to be the runner-up Cy Young winner behind Halladay.
Well now inmust look for something to do before the kings take the Ice.
@Mr. C - It does try the patience but I am quick to point out that the Angels were cellar dwellers until they got former Dodger greats Scioscia and Hatcher to run their team. That usually shuts them up
@dusty
Re: Utd
I don't know, but if I had the wings of an sparrow and the arse of a crow, I'd fly over Old Trafford tomorrow and...
@Nic - It's called Final Four basketball.
The rox are the sexy team this year. It's the same reason everyone always includes "plus they'll have Jeff francis back this year" ignoring the fact that he is coming of surgery and hasn't pitched for over a year.
And that Francis is starting on the DL.
@Nic You could watch the new episode of Doctor Who as I am
Did you like it, GLG? I'm losing my shit over how good it was.
