Stop that skid

Plenty more on the game coming up tomorrow morning, but it'll be nice for Dodger fans to put head to pillow knowing the losing streak is officially, mercifully, blessedly over at four thanks to a 6-5 comeback win over the Padres at PETCO Friday night.  And it came courtesy of some serious glove work and a four run ninth off uber-closer Trevor Hoffman... on Trevor Hoffman Night, no less!  It's never a bad thing when irony injects itself into the sports world.  And while last night was dedicated to Nomar bobbleheads at the Ravine, Garciaparra celebrated tonight with four hits and a pair of RBIs.  We can all forgive him for being off by a day.

really crazy season so far. with respect to betemit, little has an interesting decision. he has to try to get kemp up to the big leagues somehow. if he can put him on the dl, that would be best. would be tough to trade a guy like betemit for value at this point.

who would have thought hendrickson would be the second best starter on this team at this point? we need one more pitcher between wolf, schmidt, and lowe to get into a groove. when schmidt gets back, we should test out his arm in long relief. if wolf blunders, i think we should move billingsley back into a starting role where he's more comfortable.

i really like grady little's approach of stick with what's working and don't repeat what's not working and be willing to make adjustments on the fly. the more and more i see how he makes decisions, the more i've become a huge fan of grady little.

martin is the best young catcher in the game why would u walk Gonzo to get to this stud?? Its only a matter of time before everyone else sees what dodger fans see every game. Way to go Marky that head doctor fixed u good!!!

LUKE, GRADY IS A MORON.
STICK WITH WHAT'S WORKING, GEEZ, BETEMIT SUCKS.
GIRARDI OR HERSHISER SHOULD BE MANAGING THIS TEAM.
WE WOULD HAVE A HELL OF A LOT BETTER CHANCE.
