Game 103: Dodgers vs Washington Nationals 13:1
What a relief. However, I refuse to get overhyped, at least not until the Dodgers start showing some consistency hitting-wise. Last night wasn't bad, I'm willing to admit it. Thirteen runs on twelve hits, every starter but pitcher (Billingsley) getting a hit with Andre Either, Russell Martin and Cesar Izturis getting multiple hit games.
Some thoughts from the non-excited me:
(1) I'm still very much against trading Izturis. If we're prone to be sellers at the deadline, having already moved Perez and Baez, Ned Colletti should try his hand with Tomko, Cruz, Lofton and Martinez in this order.
(2) Is this a coincidence that the most thought of "potential" acquisition for the Dodgers: Alfonso Soriano is in town this weekend? I just hope he does not stay here past the couple of games against the Nats ;).
(3) Add some orange here and there and you could not tell the difference between the Nats' visitor jerseys and the Giants' ones. I was rubbing my eyes at the start of the game, 'cause I thought I got it wrong with the schedule.
(4) Exactly, how hot is there in SoCal at the moment? The weather.com says 77F, which I guess means cooler than a couple of previous days, but how are you supposed to paly professional baseball (especially day games) in such cruel conditions? Luckily today's game is at 4:10 p.m. with Derek Lowe trying to top Michael O'Connor.

Hi,
I think you've done a very nice job with your blog I have had a chance to browse your site and I think many people would enjoy reading it. I would like to link to your site from my site.
For the past few months I have been working on my site www.writeonsports.com. It is still in the process of being developed and will be finalized in the next month (or so). The premise of the site is to provide a centralized area where independent people, who like to write on sports or read about sports, are able to find articles/authors they enjoy. As part of my website, I am going to provide a "sportsblog library". This will provide readers a searchable data base to find the sports teams that they enjoy reading about. I would like your site to be part of the sportsblog library. If someone searches for the Dodgers they would be able to find a link to your blog.
I am not looking for a straight listing of all the blogs that relate to each team; I am looking for a place where someone can go and find a well written blog that offers information to the knowledgeable reader. I think your site provides such a quality. As such, I would like to invite you to be listed in the sportsblog library.
Anyway, I look forward to your response and I hope you will accept my invitation.
Thanks,
David Crowe
