1) Guillermo Mota is three strikeouts away from giving the Dodgers two bullpen teammates with 100.
2) If you remember, the initial report from Bob Nightengale regarding the Jim Tracy-Dan Evans feud said that among other things, Evans wanted Tracy to play Robin Ventura more, but that Tracy didn't want to.
It's interesting, amid the Times finally reporting today on the feud (with the principals saying that it was overblown), to note that out of the past eight games, Fred McGriff has started one game at first base, while Ventura has started six.
