Dodgers don't need to fight for it: they're legitimately Los Angeles' team. :victory:

Not sure how far Anaheim is from LA but the fans there can't like the fact that they're not good enough to be the team's city. :bleh: Guess the Clippers also play 2nd fiddle to the other LA team. :hehe:

I suppose you could say the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants played second fiddle to the Yanks all those decades... :sweat:

But the dopey Angels can't make up their mind what city they're representing: they started off as the Los Angeles Angels in the 1960's, then became the California Angels later... Talk about wishy-washy. :shakehead:

Sox all over Phillies, 12-2. :victory:

Dodgers get pummeled by the Angels, 10-1, continuing their awful interleague play. :shakehead:

Good outing from Lackey, :victory: their starters have been pitching great the last few weeks, if they all pitch like they should they may have the strongest rotation in either league :woot: and they've been doing it without Beckett.

Seems like a repeat today: 10-2, BoSox. :victory:

Hang on a sec,

Dice-K placed onf 15 day DL

BOSTON (AP)—Red Sox right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka was a late scratch before his scheduled start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday and was placed on the 15-day disabled list just before the gamefs first pitch with a strained forearm.

Matsuzaka warmed up in the bullpen and walked to the dugout about 15 minutes before the scheduled start.

Guess that means Beckett will be coming back any day, :doh: shame it happened after the way he's been pitching recently. :shamefulcry:

Yeah, ouch if you're a Philly fan, :beaten: outscored 22-4 in the 2 games. No one, yet, is talking about the Orioles, they're not far of the pace of the '62 Mets as far as setting the record for most losses in a year. :rofl:

Dodgers lose again, 4-2. :shakehead:

Sox couldn't make it a sweep as a 9th inning rally fell short as they lose to the Phils 5-3, :puppydog: 9 hits and 3 BBs and only 3 runs will normally put you on the losing end. Speaking of losing, O's did again today to the Mets 11-4, not even halfway thru June and they're already 23 games behind. :beaten:

Angels sweep the Dodgers out of town. Now a 9 game road trip that includes 3 next weekend at Fenway. :sweat:

Tampa lost, so we missed a chance to pick up a game on them. :shakehead:

Dodgers are so incredibly mediocre when it comes to interleague play... Awful. :bleh:

In the year of pitching, almost another no-no at Wrigley tonight as Ted Liily held the White Sox hitless until the 9th when Juan Pierre singled, :usuck: Floyd of the Sox was almost as good as the Cubs squeak by them 1-0. :sweat:

Slow, slow night in MLB, only 4 games scheduled. :muack: Interleague again this week, Sox are home to face the D-Backs, think some of the luster has worn off on it, looking at some of the matchups makes you wonder why? :bleh: Braves face the Rays as Kawakami looks to improve on his 0-8 record :doh: and someone in the scheduling department heard about the Dodgers interleague woes as they get to face the Reds. :hehe:

That doesn't mean anything: I think the Reds took two of three from the Dodgers earlier this season. :sweat:


On a happier note, the Angels got pummeled by the Brewers, 12-2. :mrgreen:

Reds have so far been a solid team this year, still in first. :applaud: Dodgers are probably wondering though why couldn't they have the Orioles in interleague play like the Giants do right now. :grumble:

Never overestimate the Dodgers. :beaten:
