--CF Andruw Jones returned to the lineup five weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, but the result was pretty much the same as it was before he got hurt. Jones went 0 for 5 with four strikeouts and is hitting .159 for the season. He is striking out at a rate of once every 3.2 plate appearances for the season.

--IF Nomar Garciaparra returned for the first time in more than two months. Garciaparra played seven innings at shortstop, the first time since 2005 that he has played the position where he became a Rookie of the Year and All-Star. He went 2 for 4 at the plate with two doubles, a walk and two RBI and fielded two groundballs flawlessly.

--INF Mark Sweeney, who was in danger of being released, was instead placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring he said he has been battling for three or four weeks. Sweeney stopped short of blaming the hamstring for his .094 average, but manager Joe Torre said it had an effect. Sweeney is hitless in his last 18 at-bats.

--OF Jason Repko was sent to Class AAA Las Vegas to make room for CF Andruw Jones to come off the disabled list.

--RHP Derek Lowe won his second consecutive decision on the road, the first time he has won two consecutive decisions on the road since May 5-June 22, 2007. Lowe is 2-4 on the road this season. He lasted just five innings, giving up five runs (four earned) on eight hits, but the Dodgers broke through for five runs in the sixth to get him the win.

--OF Andre Ethier singled, doubled and homered, the second time in the last three games he has fallen a triple short of the cycle. Ethier now has a five-game hitting streak, during which he is batting .409 (9 for 22). Of his past 10 hits beginning June 27, seven have gone for extra bases, including three doubles and four home runs.

BY THE NUMBERS
5 -- Times in the modern history of baseball that a team has been no-hit in a game but still won, a result that means the game doesn't go on the books as a no-hitter. The Angels' Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo combined to no-hit the Dodgers for eight innings on Saturday night, but the Dodgers won 1-0 on an unearned run after Matt Kemp reached on an error, stole second, took third on another error and scored on a sacrifice fly.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"In reality, it's a catch between patience and being aggressive. There is that fine line. There is a time to be patient and a time to be aggressive when you're an offensive player. There is a time to be patient when you're coaching, too. There is a time to be aggressive and take some action, because you can't wait too long." -- Dodgers second baseman Jeff Kent, on the inability of the club's young players to adapt to a more patient approach to hitting.

Not many things gaul my as much as seeing Andruw Jones crank dongs this year for the Texas Rangers. After his stunt, er, stint in LA last year and some $25 million and change leaving our pockets for this sack of garbage, it was more palatable thinking we'd signed a washed up ...(more)

No its not cause the Mets are a decent team lol.

1. Kershaw  had a great game on the road where he isn't that effective.

2.  Claudio Vargas showed he could pitch - even though it was one inning

3. McDonald was effective as w

Allstar game is around the corner and trade dead line is looking good. Dodgers needs to attatain some talents. What trade should we do and why? what holes could be need to fill and whats the price?

In my view we need to attain one true starter. I'm Thinking haren from AZ. We got some decent talent and they need some young chea ...(more)

Hey everyone...haven't posted in a while, I've been busy enjoying the Blue destroying everything in their path.

Just wanted to get everyones opinion on what we would have to sacrifice for Roy Halladay.  The guy is a sure-thing ace, and would REALLY boost the rotation, giving us a devastating 1-2 of Halladay, Bill

(POLL) As Manny is set to return this week, who will hit the bench?  It's probably a toss up between Andre Ethier and Juan Pierre (.329 average), but both offer an offensive component that is key to our team.  Pierre has truly turned into a great leadoff hitt ...(more)

Andre Ethier beats the Rockies last night with a walk-off HR. This is just days after hitting three out against the Mariners. I'd say he's found his power stroke.
Ethier had been struggling a bit at the plate.

We have the best record in baseball and we need to the have the most All Stars at the All Star game, we all need to go on and vote for Matty Kemp, get Kemp to the ASG!!!!


Iam disspointed in a few things regarding the ASG.

1.) I really think Casey Blake is deserving to go, him and Hudsen were the glue ...(more)

If I remember correctly, the team with the best record last year at the A-S break was the Tampa Bay Rays. And they were poorly represented in the All-Star game.  This year, it's the Dodgers as the best team and again, poorly represented. The fan-voting thing is stupid in my opinio ...(more)

If the Giants where in the NL East they would have been in 1 st place(37-31) .. The Phillies in 2nd (36-31).. and the rookies in 3rd (36-33) and the mighty Mets in 4th (34-33).. one game above .500..

The Dodgers have won 52 games and there are 6 more before the break.  What if they won the next 6 (purely hopeful on my part)... but that would put them at 58.  The record for the most wins in a single season is 116 by the 2001 Mariners and 1906 Cubs.  With Ma ...(more)

The Dodger offense in June looked like the Dodger offense last year before Manny arrived. Struggling to score runs. Total lack of power. for the month, the Dodgers were 13-11, mostly because the pitching staff in June was electricly good.

Thanks to Juan Pierre

Wow!  The Dodgers bats have gone silent.  Including todays game the Dodgers bats are almost non existent.  Although we won today it was not because of the hitting of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Going back some 8 or so games including todays game here are the following stats.

(POLL) Just a thought.  I believe that the majority of baseball fans do not care.  Or, when asked by a media source they suddenly care in order to look morally correct.  But I think this caring about steroids thing is brought on by the media.  They created this frenzy, and market it by saying blurbs about Manny or Sammy or whoever comes up next in their media coverage.  But this ...(more)

Does anybody know if there's a problem with Martin?  He's batting .236 and he's 1/19 for .053 in the last 7 games.  These are the numbers he usually puts up at the seasons end not the beginning of the season.  He looks good on the defensive side but, his offense really sucks.  I just wonder how much longer Torrie will allow him continue before replacing him with Ausmus who ...(more)
