Matt Kemp comes back today :woot:

Meanwhile down below the Orange Curtain, the Halos have won 7 in a row. Texas coming to town this weekend could be a big series. Darvish scheduled to pitch Saturday.

You could call it the Red Curtain, since the Angels wear red and the OC is republican. :mrgreen:

Dodgers lose to the Brewers again, 2-1. :(

Hideki Matsui made his debut with the Rays last night. Went 1-for-4 with a home run. :woot:

Seattle is pummeling Texas in the 8th, 21-7. :sweat:

Dodgers lose, 6-2, to the Brewers and get swept in the four game series. :(

The Dodger bump in the road (four straight losses) is turning into a sinkhole: they're getting pummeled by the Rockies, 11-3 in the 8th. :(

EDIT: 13-3, now. :sweat:

Dodgers finally end their losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Rockies. :victory:

Went to the Angels/Rangers game last night to see Darvish in the flesh. Pretty much as advertised, he went 6 1/3, struck out 7 and I think there were only about 3 hard hit balls off him all night.

Deserved to win but the Rangers commited 3 errors, the biggest one by Mike Napoli, usually the catcher, who for some unknown reason was playing first base. :headscratch:

I can understand wanting to keep his bat in the lineup, but isn't that what the DH is for?!!? :shakehead:

I was watching the game with my brother on Fox Sports West and we were wondering the same.

Dodgers lose again, 3-2, to the Rockies.... Now it's on to Philly. :sweat:

They're always talking about Japanese players adjusting to the U.S., here's an article about former Dodger Brad Penny who tried (briefly) to hook up with the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/sp20120515jc.html
