Turned out to be a great series for our pitchers winning the last two
games by shut outs.  Sort of reminds me of last year.  Nice to
finally win a series again and get back on track.

We needed that great performance last night as well as the offense
waking up like it did.  Nice that Roberts was back in there even if
he went 0-5.

Well, it does look like the saving grace for us is going to be the
fact that we are in a weak division.  If that's the case we need to
at least win against division teams (as we have done a good job of
this year) so we really need to get it going again tonight against
the Diamondbacks.

Really a great game pitched by Weaver (he's been very solid lately)
but we lost the game yesterday and the series to the Brewers.  Yep,
the Brewers.  We actually have the same record as them now and are
only three games over .500 as we slipped out of first place.  The
problems again, no offense.

Good pitching by Perez last night but the offense didn't show up
again.  Hopefully we can win today and finally win another series.

Toronto GM J.P. Ricciardi on May 24 refuted a radio report that said
the Blue Jays would send slugger Carlos Delgado to the Dodgers for OF
Juan Encarnacion and pitching prospect Brian Morris, the Toronto Star
reported.

Nice win yesterday beating the Brewers 5-3.  We really could use a
good series before we play Arizona for the first time this year.
Lima got the win in relief and Gagne finally got another save.  Nice
game hitting from Cora and Izturis.

Nomo's going to miss his next start due to his cut fingernail or
something.  Lima is going to get the start instead.  Lima's been
great out of the bullpen.  I would use this as an opportunity to
recall Edwin Jackson and give him a start.  Throw Nomo on the DL for
15 days (retroactive) and give his surgically repaired shoulder a
little early rest.

dan

We head to Milwaukee now with Ishii getting the first start.  We
really need to win 2 of 3 there and get back a little on track.

dan

I agree, I could care less how many games we win as long as we make
the play-offs.

I agree that the Brown trade was the right move.  He was making a
load of money and is still injury prone.  Plus we got a guy who
should be a decent pitcher (Weaver) in return and a good minor league
prospect.  Plus the money that we freed up to trade him should leave
us room to pick up a good player around the trade deadline.  Plus I
don't think Brown wanted to be here anymore.

Just one run again yesterday.  This offense is beginning to resemble
last year's squad although definitely think there is more talent on
this year's team.

Perez pitched a great game in the first game but no offense again.
Finally broke the streak today beating them.  It's about time.

dan

Definitely right about Beltre.  You can see him pull up in pain when
he just stops from going to his left when it's a hit to the SS.
Problem is that taking time off probably won't help.  He needs
surgery.

Last night really sucked again although Ishii didn't pitch all that
bad.  Some poor defense cost us two runs and obviously no offense.
Sort of figuring out how important Roberts at the top of that line-up
is to our offense.
