Game 48 Thread: May 28 vs. Brewers, 5p

Aaron Harang (3-2, 4.36 ERA) vs. Shaun Marcum (2-3, 3.93 ERA)

This Memorial Day, the Dodgers break the seal on a four-game series with the Brewers. Earlier this season we dropped two out of three on the road to these guys, but hey, that was back when we didn't have all these minor leaguers and all these old farts starting and winning games for us.

It promises to be a respectful time at Dodger Stadium today, with the team taking time to honor those whose service we pay tribute to today, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

"...throwing out the ceremonial first pitch will be U.S. Marines Sgt. Michael Mejia. A Marine since 2003, he served two deployments in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Making a full recovery after stepping on an improvised explosive device (IED) in combat operations, Mejia spent seven months in the hospital in recovery and is now back on full duty as platoon sergeant."

Sons of Steve Garvey thank Sgt. Mejia and so many others for their service. Now let's honor them all with a great win today in a game that has demonstrated the strength of the American character for generations. Be safe out there, enjoy the holiday, and most of all: Play ball!
