September 2, 2010POSTGAME NOTES: Lincecum goes retro and Ford goes a long way to show off his speed
Extra Baggs | San Jose Mercury News — By Alex Pavlovic How appropriate is it that Darren Ford was a Richmond Flying Squirrel 24 hours ago? And how silly do some of the suggestions for Tim Lincecum look after his eight innings Wednesday night?

- Cook’s ERA at Petco: It’s a beautiful thing All Things Rockies | Denver Post SAN DIEGO – Aaron Cook owns Petco Park. OK, so he doesn’t technically own it. But he pitches there better than any other pitcher in the major leagues. Yes, including the Padres’ pitchers. Cook, who’ll start tonight for the first time in a month, is 6-1 with a 2.15 ERA in 10 starts at Petco. That’s the lowest of any [...]

- Dodgers activate Rafael Furcal and start him; A.J.

He last played on Aug. 2 before straining his lower back. He also missed most of May because of a sore hamstring. He hit a home run in his final rehab game at triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday. When Furcal has played this year, however, he has been the shortstop the...
- Manny Ramirez talks and talks: Everything that went wrong in Boston was my fault Dodgers Blog | Los Angeles Times Manny Ramirez talked Friday back in Boston. Then he talked and talked. Almost talked like he was trying to make up for the last five months when he never said a word in Los Angeles. He said this all, surprise, in English. Just like the old days. He met with a group of reporters prior to his Chicago White Sox playing the Red Sox at Fenway. Here’s a transcript provided by the White Sox, so the evil Los Angeles press can’t be accused of twisting his words. The biggest revelation comes at the end when he admits everything that went...
