--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.

To borrow a recent rant from Beck, I can only take so much before blood starts shooting out of my eyes!  How much losing do we have to do before you guys GET REAL?  Yes, I agree we have to look at contingencies like Harden and others, as landing an ace like Halladay doesn't come easy.  But... NEITHER DOES WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!  Gosh Darnit, let's at least go for it!  ...(more)

Okay so I believe that we should only make a trade for Halladay if it centers around Russell Martin. Bills is still a good pitcher and has tons of upside and could become the ace. You don't trade that away...even if at best he becomes a very good #3. If you trade Russell Martin it is easier to trade for a guy like Torreabela or o ...(more)

A little while ago, I brought up the idea of Dan Uggla coming to LA to play 2B. Well apparently Cincy is looking to dump salary and Brandon Phillips is going to be available. He is owed 19.85 million over the next 2 seasons , which a little less than 10 million ...(more)

The Dodgers have focused on acquiring Roy Halladay from the Blue Jays, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

I just posted my support for pursuit of Halladay via trade, but I also know that may not happen.  In fact, knowing the Dodgers, it probably won't happen.  So, if we are seriously looking to bolster the front end of the rotation, I ask, what about Rich Harden?  I know, I know, he's an injury risk.  But he's also as domi ...(more)

Jason Schmidt will likely retire, reports Ken Gurnick of MLB.com. Schmidt filed for free agency on Wednesday, but said he isn't planning to pitch next year and is likely to retire. Schmidt went 2-2 with a 5.61 ERA in four starts in 2009, but was hampered by problems with his surgically-repaired right shoulder in August.

According to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, Orlando Hudson says he hasn't had any contact with the Dodgers since the season ended.

Hudson said he "wouldn't close the door" on a possible return, but that seems highly unlikely after the team soured on him down the stretch. The newly-minted Gold Glove second base

Watching Lee dismantle the mighty Yankee offense just like he did the Dodgers it's hard not to wonder "what if" it was the Dodgers that picked him up at the trade deadline. Would it be the Dodgers up 1-0 in the World Series? I say with absolute certainty YES IT WOULD HAVE!! That acquisition meant so much more than just adding a dom ...(more)

Do you think he'll take the mound again for the Dodgers?


1) Sure thing
2) Mebbe
3) Unlikely
4) I'd be surprised
5) No farging way



I'm saying I'd be surprised. He can't, or won't, throw inside; mebbe I'm wrong, but if I'm correct he's carrying a bad package.

Manny picked up the $20 million dollar option for 2010. Thank you Manny for deciding quickly so the Dodgers brass can move on to other pressing needs. I think, like all of us, he knew that he was not going to get $20 anywhere else and I think he may have a small chip on his shoulder about fading down the strech. He may play is ARSE off for a ...(more)
