Sending Blake Dewitt down was an unfortunate numbers game for the Dodgers this week. Relying on Nomar Garciaparra to be your everyday 3rd baseman is a potential death sentence.
Not that anyone is dusting off the bugle for the boys in blue at this point, but last year's Gold Glove catcher, Russell Martin, just ditched the tools of ignorance in favor of an infielder's glove (I'm doubting that whoever's mitt he did trot out to 3rd was one he'd ever tried on before which has to be comforting seeing as how he's not played that position in 5 years). Add to that Andruw Jones' unique ability to leave a game with a calf injury suffered by his own batted ball and it makes for one of those nights where you wish it was raining and none of this had ever happened.
Hang in Blue Crew lovers--we may be in store for one heck of a roller coaster season. Paging Andy LaRoche! Mr. Laroche please pick up a white courtesy telephone and get healthy already will ya???
