apologies to the faithful few...

i know that the countless readers are clamoring for more posts. However, as the NBA, NHL and EPL seasons draw to a close, its been difficult to find time to watch as much baseball as I would prefer. My limited experiences with the dodgers this year have been severely lackluster. I've had the displeasure of attending 1 game this season and Tiny Tim Lincecum squirted all over the beloved blue from the mound and the batter's box. One can only hope that as the summer months approach, the dodgers will get their proverbial poop-makers in gear.

With that said, I look forward with great anticipation to another year of .500 baseball and watching Carlos Santana tear the cover off the ball in Cleveland.

Last Night

I went to the game last night.  It was 9-0 after the top of the second inning.  That's all I have to say about that.

Runs Lost - 5.1.10 vs. Pittsburgh

Bottom of the 4th

With the Dodgers already leading 3-1 heading into the bottom of the 4th, Blake Dewitt walked and Jamey Carroll followed with a single to right to lead off the inning.  After Carlos Monasterios failed to get a bunt down and struck out, Reed Johnson doubled to right, scoring Dewitt and moving Carroll to third with one out.  Russell Martin followed with a smash right at thirdbasemen Andy LaRoche, and Andre Ethier flied to left to end the inning.

The Dodgers finally got healthy against the Pirates this weekend, winning the last three games of the series after the terrible opener on Thursday night.  They were able to put together a good number of hits with runners in scoring position, and Ethier's four homeruns in three games sure didn't hurt either.  Good weekend, and let's hope they can keep the momentum going tonight against Milwaukee.
