I'm hoping to sneak in a real post before heading off to tonight's game, but in the event I don't, you don't have to be left empty-handed.
First pitch is at 7:10 p.m. AST (Alvarez Savings Time). The change of starting pitchers from Kazuhisa Ishii to Wilson Alvarez may get us an extra hour's sleep tonight, don't you think?
Among other things, Adrian Beltre is showing some heart, isn't he? And Paul Lo Duca has rallied to put Dodgers in the top two spots in the NL batting race. (This is the only moment you'll see me care about batting average - when the Dodgers are on top of it.)
If I can write something original on these open chat introductions, even something short, I feel less guilty about running them.
