Welcome Back, Mientkiewicz
Doug Mientkiewicz singles in Wednesday's game.
From Dylan Hernandez at the LA Times:
Done receiving congratulatory high-fives from teammates in the dugout, Mientkiewicz ducked into the clubhouse and disappeared for 10 minutes. "I went and found a quiet place," he said, not disclosing the location. "It was in the building. I knew no one would find me. The emotions...
In Defense Of Casey Blake
The various pundits, kensai and me included, do a fair bit of railing against the moves made by the Dodgers. Hell, that is part of point of this site and its progenitor. That said, I was watching the FSN show "In My Own Words" on Casey Blake, and I found his story interesting. I decided to look deeper at his career, adding to what I already knew, and figured out that...
"You're the MVP." "No, You're the MVP."
Dylan Hernandez' article in the LATimes today illustrates the kind of selfless humility one loves to see from the National League's best team:
Pierre moved Rafael Furcal from second to third with a sixth-inning bunt and watched from the bench as Furcal was driven in on a double by Ethier.
"Juan P can do a lot of huge things, man," Orlando Hudson said. "There...
Kuroda Strong But Pads Trip LA Again
Los Angeles didn't resemble a pennant contender during their recent home stand, winning only three of seven from the two worst teams in the National League West, Arizona and San Diego. The Padres topped them 4-3 in the finale after Hiroki Kuroda (5-6) gave up four runs, three earned.

Kuroda suffered a frightening, gruesome looking injury on August 15 in Arizona, being beaned...

Dodgers-Padres: No Help for Kershaw from LA Offense in 2-0 Shutout Loss
The Los Angeles Dodgers couldn’t buy a run in a disappointing 2-0 loss at the hands of the San Diego Padres on Friday night.
Southpaw Wade LeBlanc fired a gem for the Friars, retiring the final nine batters he faced, as he used a devastating changeup to offset his mediocre fastball and stifle the Los Angeles lineup.
LeBlanc had a 9.58 ERA entering the game and the Dodgers...
Dodgers go cold against Padres’ LeBlanc
LOS ANGELES (AP) -Rookie Wade LeBlanc pitched two-hit ball over six innings, and the San Diego Padres scratched out a pair of early runs against the luckless Clayton Kershaw to beat Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0 on Friday night.
San Diego Padres (60-76) at Los Angeles Dodgers (80-56), 10:10 p.m.
