Big fish to attempt frying

Big_effin_marlin Them Marlins of Florida are off to a strong start (and come Jorge Cantu-approved), meaning a three game series in Miami (kicking off tonight at 4:10 pm PST) doesn't look to be a tranquil swim in the beach front waters.  Even for a Dodger squad that may have recently found its center, despite playing those games in a region that's reputed for its "don't worry, be happy" in regards to winning.  Sinker ball specialist Derek Lowe will test his stuff (and a recently tight elbow) against Andrew Miller.   With any luck, he'll throw well enough to help create a situation where Takashi Saito gets a shot to close out the deal, because a lack of work is covering Sammy in rust.  Being unable to take the mound on a regular basis has been a frustrating situation for Saito (similar to Nomar's thoughts on a DL stint).  Should the dilemma continue, Saito could perhaps bend the ear of the Dodgers' resident sports psychologist for tips on maintaining his edge during a tough time.  Of course, if the shrink really wants to prove her mettle, she'll sit down with the Dodger third base coach and figure out what makes that cat tick.

If you wanna track down a front office type, have your calls forwarded to the Dominican Republic.

According to Mindy McCready, Roger Clemens has some 'splaining to do.  Maybe not in a court of law, but the court of public opinion.  Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean Clemens has done everything he's accused of.
