Dodgers see four-game road winning streak end
Los Angeles Daily News — DENVER - Dodgers starter Chad Billingsley picked a bad time to see his 92-inning homerless streak end.
Los Angeles Dodgers August 29, 2010Game 130 Thread: August 28 @ Rox, 5p
Sons of Steve Garvey — Chad Billingsley (10-7, 3.70) vs. Jhoulys Chacin (7-9, 3.98). COMMENTS: Four-game win streak, tie with the Rockies for fourth place in the NL Wild Card hunt, and a dramatic victory last night. I'd like to feel more confident about this resurgent Dodgers team. However, Billingsley, who delayed his start one day due to an issue with his right calf, will be pitching in Coors Field, not exactly the most hospitable place for shaky pitchers. That doesn't exactly build up my confidence level much, even if we are facing Chacin (1-2 vs. the Dodgers this year). At least I can take solace in the ...
Los Angeles Dodgers August 28, 2010Dodgers: A change in the rotation
Dodgers Blog | Riverside Press-Enterprise — MILWAUKEE --With Chad Billingsley still feeling the calf soreness that led to his early removal from Saturday's game with Colorado, the pitcher's next start has been moved back, Torre said. Carlos Monasterios will now start Thursday's series finale with the Brewers, while Billingsley will pitch Saturday in Colorado. "It may not make a difference," Torre said, "... but as long as we needed a fifth starter one place or the other, we just decided to give him the extra two days." The calf problem did not originate on Saturday, Torre said. "Unbeknownst to me, two starts before the last one, he's ha...

Mike Scioscia's tragic illness — In a game mostly notable for the returns of Manny Ramirez (to the team) and Jonathan Broxton (to the 9th inning), it was the return of a long dormant offense which was the biggest surprise of all. Home runs by Ryan Theriot (!), Andre Ethier, Jay Gibbons, and Matt Kemp powered Chad Billingsley to his [...]

Redleg Nation — Johnny Cueto returns after missing a turn due to his suspension; the Reds didn’t miss him, did they? Well, it’s good to have Cueto and his 11-3 record and his 3.38 ERA back in the fold. He’ll face Chad Billingsley and the Dodgers, in game two of this key west coast series. As [...]
Cincinnati Reds August 21, 2010Game 124 Thread: August 21 vs. Simply Reds, 7p
Sons of Steve Garvey — Chad Billingsley (9-7, 3.66) vs Johnny Cueto (11-3, 3.38). The Reds are rolling, riding a seven-game winning streak (and a 4.5 game lead in the Central), after last night's 3-1 win. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have floundered since the All-Star Break, driven partially by Vicente Padilla, Manny Ramirez, Jeff Weaver, and Rafael Furcal all sitting on the DL, all having trouble holding back the years. And Joe Torre has to play with the few cards he's been dealt; we're not getting any 11th hour waiver-wire help, since money’s too tight (to mention). I’d love to think we could hold the Cincinnati “j...

In related news, the Dodgers have activated Manny Ramirez and inserted him into tonight's starting lineup. Tony Jackson of ESPNLosAngeles.com has details. The Dodgers haven't actually outgrown Ramirez - they need anything resembling a bat, however antique (as Jay Gibbons batting cleanup today tells us) – but we'r...
Los Angeles Dodgers August 21, 2010Dodgers get Zach Lee ... will they lose Logan White?
Dodgers Thoughts | ESPN Los Angeles — Larry Goren/Icon SMI Logan White has supervised Dodger drafts since 2002. Pretty nice 28 hours that Logan White just had. Monday evening, White 2003 draftee Chad Billingsley finished his sixth consecutive quality start, with an ERA of 1.33 in that span. Tuesday evening, White 2006 draftee Clayton Kershaw threw seven shutout innings in the Dodgers' 6-0 victory over Colorado and moved up to third in the National League in strikeouts. And in between, White converted his bold first-round selection of Zach Lee into what might be the coup of the 2010 draft. Lee's reported $5.25 million deal ...

- Dodgers' Web musings: Thoughts now turn to next season and the need for a major bat Dodgers Blog | Los Angeles Times Things are so bad for the Dodgers these days -- hey, I’m not even talking divorce court -- they’re almost as far out of the wild-card race (eight games) as the division lead (nine). They are down and not getting up. Further evidence for the bleeding-blue faithful is offered by SI.com’s Tom Verducci, who wrote that since the formation of the eight-team playoff format, only one of baseball’s 112 teams made the postseason after starting Sept. 1 more than 3½ games out (the ’07 Rockies were five back). Which immediately turns the mind to … next season. And a pair...
