--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.

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)

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)

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)

So our beloved Dodgers fell short of the prize again. A heartbreak for sure, as many of us have yearned so badly to see our Blue back in the World Series, but honestly I think we once again exceeded expectations and there is a ton of positives to take away from this year. Remember, if you take away Schmidt, Pierre, A.Jones salaries that we h ...(more)

We have all been complaining at Colletti for not making the best offer for Lee and how the Phils got him for so cheap and look at how hes pitched for them. But once again it seems like our attention is focused on the wrong person, and we need to focus our pitchforks and torches at another culprit.
The latest news is that the D

After last night I can barely bring myself to write this. I've been doing my best all day to just not think about baseball. Not just the Dodgers, but baseball in general. I might skip watching tonight's game. I haven't made it final, but I think I might just skip it. I'm getting older and the stress these games are causing is just foolish ...(more)

I believe this team made it to the NLCS for the second straight year.

I believe this team is going to be competitive for the considerable future.

I believe that we got beat by a better team.

I believe if the above statement is true, I can live with the loss.

I’m okay… I was sad for about thirty seconds… but then I realized something, the one t ...(more)

the game was over?!?!?!?! How do Dodger fans feel about that? He went into the clubhouse and was showering while the Phillies came back to win it. I would be irate. I am not trying to "troll" but how do the fans take that one?

Any dodger fans attending this game?  I am!!  I know that we blew it big time last night and that pretty much shattered our hopes and dreams of reliving that moment from 88' but if we pull a win out tomorrow night we will be flying back home to LA where anyhting is possible.  Not very likely but also still very possible.  
Anyways, anybody else besides me willing to show t

Was Sherrill pitching that bad in the 8th that he had to bring in Broxton??  I understand wanting to give it to your closer, but let your set up man do his job!! By bringing in Broxton, he had to sit in the cold and wait for the top of the 9th.  Let him stay warm and throw in the pen.  That's why you got Sherrill!!!!  I have all the respect for Joe Torre, but I think he over ma ...(more)
