REMINDER - John Wooden and Vin Scully conversation to be rebroadcast for the first time, Monday night on Prime Ticket "Scully & Wooden For The Kids", the fund raiser for the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA conceived by the Los Angeles Times sports columnist T. J. Simers that was held on June 13, 2008 at the Nokia Center in Los Angeles will be rebroadcast for the first time ever on Monday night, some time following that evening's game (between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals) and post-game show. Set your DVRs now people; those of us that missed this the first time should not miss it again. This information from a programming note that I saw after the Wooden tribute on Prime Ticket late last night, after the Dodger game. UPDATE: Houston Mitchell with some details at The Fabulous Forum.

"When [Josh Lindblom] gets back, we're probably going to transition him back to the bullpen,'' [Dodgers Assistant GM for Player Development DeJon] Watson said. As reported by Tony Jackson of ESPN Los Angeles. He further quotes Watson on Lindblom: "I think he is better suited to the bullpen. It's just his delivery and his stuff, and I think this will give him a chance to help our big league club at some point this year. We just want to get him back to where he was at the end of last year." Jackson also reports the Lindblom is "getting the same, weeklong break from throwing that Watson gives his starting pitchers after 10 starts." Tip to commenter Silverwidow in last night's game thread and to Jon Weisman of Dodger Thoughts for the link.

Pitcher of the Week Alberto Bastardo-LHP-Chattanooga Lookouts Throwing fourteen strikeouts in as many innings, Alberto Bastardo allowed only five hits and one run in his two games Monday and Saturday. Monday night, Bastardo took his third win of the season with seven strikeouts and threw another seven Saturday night, taking his fourth win. In Monday's game, Mobile was scoreless, and on Saturday Bastardo pitched six innings before losing a hit to Carolina. Bastardo earned a 0.00 ERA for the week, tying three others in the league who only threw for half as many innings. He is working his way up to being one of the top pitchers in the league overall this season if he continues with this hot streak. Bastardo, born in Maracay, Venezuela, has been working his way through the Los Angeles Dodgers organization since 2006.

Inland Empire 66ers Outfielder Kyle Russell is the California League Player of the Week for May 17th-23rd. Russell won the award for the second time this season hitting a home run in four consecutive games. He also scored nine runs and collected 15 RBI’s during the week. The 66ers leading hitter went 11 for 25 (.440) in six games, and took over as the California league leader in Home Runs (10), while also moving back into the top five in RBI (Tied for 3rd-38), top 10 in runs scored (Tied for 7th- 32) and top 12 in batting average (12th-.335). During the hot streak Russell also helped lead the team to a winning road trip, which wraps up tonight in Rancho Cucamonga. If the 66ers can defeat the Quakes they will have won five of seven games on the road trip and taken both series at the Epicenter from their I-10 rivals. Russell and the Inland Empire 66ers return home on Wednesday, May 26th for a four game series with the Bakersfield Blaze. The series will feature national performing act the Inflatamaniacs on Friday the 28th, also a Toyota of Redlands 50 cent Friday, and a Saturday Fireworks Spectacular on May 29th.

Can we stop claiming that we are going to win series and then get utterly blown out?

"Why is it? Because he got a new deal? Can’t tell you. But you know, it’s below-average. If this is the last day of the season and people are voting for GM of the year, his name is not even on the ballot. It’s a shame that he would go from where he was a year ago to revert back to when a player goes down and you’re not sure if he’s going to sign an Ortiz, or if you’re going to get Nick Green." by Little Blue Bicycle on May 4, 2010 5:50 AM PDT

Dodgertown.net for Sale PRESS RELEASE -Dodgertown.net- LA's ONLY DODGERTOWN DOMAIN GOING, GOING, ... LOS ANGELES, April - 2010 /Dodgertown.net/ -- Dodgertown.net, the only pure Dodgertown name on a prime domain extension not owned by the city of Vero Beach, Florida, or a business in Vero Beach, is now available for lease or purchase from its Los Angeles owner. -As the first integrated spring training camp in major league baseball, in 1948, in Vero Beach, the Dodgertown name is culturally significant in American history. -In 2008 the Dodgers' played their last spring training game in Vero Beach, moving "Dodgertown" to Los Angeles. -In fall of 2008, Dodgertown became the first, and only, baseball stadium complex to get its own ZIP Code: 90090 Currently the Los Angeles Dodgers are conducting a multi-year multi-million dollar marketing campaign to rename Dodger stadium from "Chavez-Ravine" (named after rancher, Julian Chavez, who owned the land in the 1800s), to Dodgertown. In addition to radio, tv, print and billboards the campaign slogan, "This Is My Town, Dodgertown", is also printed in big bold letters across L.A. Dodger game tickets. Note: the ad campaign is run under the "Inside Dodgertown" moniker, which diminishes the power and defeats the purpose of the Dodgertown campaign. After all, the ads and game tickets do not say "This is my town, Inside Dodgertown". And, the zip code is not for "Inside Dodgertown, California". "The name deserves a better 'home' and its 'home community' deserves to own its name", said Dodgertown domain owner C. A. Rallins. "I am an Angeleno and I would love for the domain name to stay in Los Angeles". "The question now is who wants to pay for the privilege to be the Mayor of Dodgertown?" DODGERTOWN.NET -- Purchase price: $500,000 -- Lease price: $5,000 per month during the season. $1,500 per month over the off season. ---- CONTACT: Claude -- 213-254.5506 EMAIL: crallins@gmail.com Website: http://www.Dodgertown.net [ Resource: Reported Domain Sales Prices for 2010 -- http://www.dnjournal.com/ytd-sales-charts.htm ]
