Dodgers Set For Finale Against Braves

PrintThe Dodgers, who have lost 10 of their last 16 games, will face Javier Vazquez and the Braves today in the finale of both their four-game series and the Dodgers' seven-game homestand.
Eric Stults is here, arriving this morning, and today's starter was greeted warmly by teammates in the clubhouse.
There is no word yet on the corresponding roster move to add Stults to the 25-man roster. Tony Abreu is here and was at his locker, so I doubt he will be optioned. James McDonald's locker was fully stocked, with nameplate and everything, so I doubt he will be optioned either. Scott Elbert's locker, by contrast, no longer had his nameplate and didn't have any uniforms for today.
Joe Torre will meet with the media at 11:20, and I will have more for you after that.
As soon as I see the lineups, I will post them.
Get your guesses in for "Just A Bit Outside" here.
Game Time: 1:10pm
TV: Prime Ticket

J-Mac is definitely still here. He is “up” for bullen use today (per Ken Howell).
Sherrill, after two straight days, will not pitch today.

Sometimes between innings Castro or Loretta have to warmup the pitcher (if Ausmus is in the bullpen and Martin just batted and is putting on the gear) and they made a mask/helmet just for them with the number 14 on one side and 5 on the other. Pretty cool.

the dodgers lead off hitter Rafael Furcal
is the only regular dodger starter with an OBP of under .350 and hes at .330…
i know he has gotten on base in 18 start games.. but he has gotten on base once in more then half of them. Put Hudson and his better OBP leadoff and put furcal 8th.
The Braves lineup for you guys:
McLouth CF
Prado 3B
Anderson LF
Escobar SS
McCann C
Diaz RF
LaRoche 1B
Johnson 2B
Vazquez P
