Dan Haren (1-0, 0.00) vs. Max Scherzer (0-0, 0.00)
It's April 8th, so it must be Interleague Play!!! (Yeah, still not used to that.)
With our own reigning Cy Young winner on the shelf, it's up to Dan Haren to take on AL CY winner Max Scherzer (of nightmare-fueling bobblehead fame). It's not as lopsided a match as one might think. Neither has allowed an earned run this season. Haren has a win and Scherzer doesn't. Suck on THAT, Max! SMALL SAMPLE SIZES AND ANTIQUATED PITCHER STATS RULE!!!!
Can the Dodgers lineup follow up Sunday's home run derby with something reasonably resembling offense against Scherzer? I'm guessing yes, but I'm also thinking Matt Kemp will be back on the bench for some inexplicable reason. UPDATE: Nope! Kemp is IN the lineup, along with the newly called-up Tim Federowicz. Puig is still nursing his thumb boo-boo and remains day-to-day....wait for it...Aren't we all?
And what of AL MVP Miguel Cabrera? (Jeez, don't they have enough awards?) Here's hoping Haren can hold that Tiger.

Tiger by the Tail
I have to confess friends...I've gone to the dark side. Couldn't go without my Dodgers any longer and gave in to the pricks at TWC. I know, rats and sinking ships and all that shit.
Don't hate me. I was jonesing bad.
"My name is Karen, an I'm a Dodgerholic."
I am currently working a 12 step program.
The first step is admitting I have a problem.
Nough said.
I gotta say it's a good day when Ice Cube throws out the first pitch and reads the lineup.
Dan Haren's a pimp.
If I weren't here I would think it was a TV trick that Dee G hit a HR.
Of course I couldn't watch it on TV so I couldn't be tricked.
The Goodyear Blimp is there again? Cool!
No Rodger game on TV again. Is this 1974?
Karen so did we. They got us by the Lasorda blue balls.
I wonder how D'backs fans feel about their team trading Scherzer to the Tigers.
Probably how we felt after the Piazza trade, and the Pedro trade, and the Konerko trade to a lesser extent, and the Santana trade sort of...
Iphone gameday says 2-1 blue. I have no idea what's going on. Why don't I have an AM radio in my house. I'm not paying $20 for the iphone at bat this year.
Argggh
Kenley K of Cabrera was sweeeet. And then, poop sandwich.
I still love you Matt.
Is everyone hibernating or are there blog problems tonight?
Rally!!!!
Neeebs...I've spent most of this game dozing. Guess that doesn't say much for excitement level.
I'm following the game on gameday. So not cool.
I woke up just in time!!! Party time all you good Dodger fans!!
Phew!
Delayed gratification. Dodgers win.
1:35. Tomorrow's gonna be a long day!
Way to rally BJ! And Dodgers!
BJ...I was just about to say to you "Is this why we crossed over to Darth Vadar land??" Sure glad I didn't!!
Er, I should have used a comma there.
Thank you, Rajai Trumbo.
