As I write this, Matt Holliday has just hit a grand slam in Colorado to cut Florida's lead to 17-16 with none out in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Meanwhile, Arizona and San Diego were scoreless (and then some) through five innings. San Diego has pushed across two in the top of the sixth.
Colorado Springs Sky Sox: 4
Bottom of the 6th
This is all very small sample size.
Thank you, your honor.

Thats ugly.
That is a shift in philosophy for Colletti, who has refused to part with the club's top prospects since he took over after the 2005 season, filling most holes with expensive free-agent signings.
Colletti wouldn't name names. But while All-Star catcher Russell Martin is presumed to be untouchable, Colletti's comments certainly put in play other young players like Matt Kemp, James Loney, Andre Ethier and Andy LaRoche, as well as a possible veteran such as Friday starter Derek Lowe, who is likely to leave as a free agent after the season anyway.<<

I'll be rooting for Nomar Garciaparra from here on out.
Refusing to trade anyone for any reason is just as bad as making a panic move and trading a high ceiling prospect for a mediocre journeyman.
I mean, really, if the Dodgers could get David Wright (and a prospect) for any two of Kemp, Loney, Ethier, LaRoche, and Lowe, who wouldn't take that deal?
And now I'm off for the evening.
They had been down 13-4 at one point.
those guys are gonna be exhausted for tomorrows game, I'm tired just looking at the score.
Perhaps the Dodger offense is finally starting to hit its stride again.
AB - 89
HR - 4
RBI - 14
SO - 27
BA - .258
OB% .287
SLG .461
just from watching him he looked like he had a slightly above average glove.
I would not be P.O'd if we traded him, that dose make sense actually.
Furcal has missed how many games now? Dodgers can be 1/2 game out in a matter of minutes and would be in 1st if not for the Brewers bullpen. Nomar is adequate for a couple more months and there is Maza and always Martinez.
The point being, 2008 is just important enough to go trading players that can help your club for many years for a marginal SS (Wilson) or others like him, at best.
I can't think of many Dodger prospects that would be worth trading for Wilson. Maybe someone like Lindsey or Tiffee. If they had to, perhaps Greg Miller, but that's it.
Dodgers have enough to get through the season and can look for a SS then.
Don't go trading for one now when the cost is far greater then the return.
Make that just NOT important enough...
4-1 Pads. erase that it's now 5-1. The Snkes bring in another pitcher.
