The Dodgers lost to the Diamondbacks today in Tucson, 6-3, at Kino Veterans Stadium. The game was going well enough for Tim Redding, who allowed three hits in three scoreless innings, but then the fourth inning started. An infield single by Chris Young was followed by a home run by Juan Miranda and another single by Cody Ransom. Then, Redding left the game with a lower back injury.
There is no truth to the rumor that Redding's back injury was related to his fingers hurting earlier:
Redding did head back to Phoenix to get his back further examined, per Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times. John Ely will try to bust through that wide-open door to fifth starterdom tonight.
Redding was followed by Rubby De La Rosa, who pitched three scoreless innings in his own right before allowing three runs of his own in his fourth inning of work.
Hector Gimenez threw out Justin Upton trying to steal second base in the sixth inning, the first caught stealing for Gimenez this spring.
The Dodgers play Seattle in Peoria tonight. A separate game thread will follow.

Gibby and D2X
The two best #23s of the 1980’s?
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
Can’t think of anyone better off the top of my head.

So there we go. And I’d expect that his production, even missing 1980 and 1981*, would rank him ahead of Gibby too. Too bad he didn’t get the Cubs gig.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
That really seemed shitty
he won manager of the year several times, seemed to be being groomed to take the gig, and then they don’t give it to him? Ouch.
These hands will always be rough
Mike Quade needs 256 wins as a manager to tie Frank Quilici for first place among Q managers.
Sandberg wouldn’t have had a prayer managing long enough to surpass Casey Stengel’s 1905 wins.
That sounds like the kind of rationale that has gotten the Cubs to where they are today.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
It seems like Quade is pretty awesome since he’s smart enough to kick Carlos Silva out of the rotation.

Yep.
There’s really no reason to have Silva in your rotation.

Q?
I’m not going to argue Quade wasn’t the better choice, I just got the feeling, albeit from afar, that Sandberg had been lead on, which sucks for him. I don’t know what more he could have done as a manager to get the job and they still didn’t give it to him.

From the outside, it certainly seemed like Sandberg was being groomed for the Cubs job. I was shocked when Quade was announced as the manager.

That’s my sense too. Friends of mine who were Cubs fans were also convinced it would be Ryno. It smacked of Scioscia all over again, but even more dramatically so.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
On that note, would it be more of a parallel if Ryno were to lead the White Sox to a title or, say, the Brewers? I’d think since the Sox have their own history, whereas the Angels really didn’t, that a team like Milwaukee is on similar standing.

sending you a picture of the guts of my computer. The problem isn’t the length, it’s that there is a metal piece next to the video card port that I think might get in the way if i have a double-slot wide card.

True or False: The last time the Dodgers had a fifth starter that was both healthy and pitching well was in 2006 with Greg Maddux. Am I forgetting anybody?
Note: I am assuming that in 2008 Kershaw counts as the fourth starter, since he in fact pitched fourth-most innings on the team.

End of 2009 with Wolf/Bills/Kershaw/Padilla/Garland?

I will still be in first place after these games.
After Ohio State beats Kentucky…. not so much. This is like having the Sword of Dick Vitale hanging over my head.

Good news for IDJ
per Tony Jackson:
Barring an injury, infielder Ivan DeJesus has made the club and will be in the big leagues until Blake returns from back injury, a team source said on the condition of anonymity. DeJesus, who will be making his major league debut, likely will get the bulk of the starts at second base during that time, while Juan Uribe will move to third.
The best part of that is it could be the quickest refutation of a “so and so will never do X” comment ever; as I said the other day DeJesus would never start at 2B on opening day for the Dodgers. Ha!

He'll be at third
when Uribe pulls his taint muscle

It's insane, this guy's taint!
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Might say Uribe’s taint (is) misbehavin.

Mahay Day...now be on your way
Dodgers non-roster reliever Ron Mahay, whose escape clause calls for a decision Friday, was told he won’t make the Opening Day roster and the club is awaiting a decision on whether he will accept an assignment to the Minor Leagues.
I'm liking the Dodger news today!
Except I don’t wish injuries on anyone, so I feel bad for ya Redding…
But I like the Tony Jax news about IDJ and I like that Mahay is probably soon away, and that the news sounds encouraging for Elbert too. w00t!
