Penny came through last night, time to see what Hendrickson can do. While I can't say that I supported the trade, I confess that I'm hopeful for Hendrickson. We'll see. Ethier, Angel Killer, stays in the lineup with Hall taking over catching duties to match up with his old battery mate.
And: hooray! Grittle finally listed to those of us praying he would get Lofton out of center field. I'm sure it's only a stay, not a pardon, but I'll take it. Enjoy Matt Kemp's defense.
Go Blue.
