Lamar Odom is still a free agent since he was dumb enough to turn down not one, but two offers from the Lakers. I'm convinced Trevor Ariza's agent is somehow behind this.
The Los Angeles Dodgers start a three-game set with the Florida Marlins tonight at Chavez Ravine. The Dodgers have the best record in baseball at 61-34, and lead the National League West by nine games.
What a game it was on Wednesday night for the Dodgers. They beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-2, but the story of the night was Manny Ramirez, who hit the game-winning pinch-hit grand slam. Manny wasn't in the lineup because he got hit by a pitch on his hand the night before, yet the sold-out crowd of 56,000 was treated for a pleasant surprise when he came to the plate as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning with the bases loaded in a tie game. And what do you know, on the very first pitch Manny blasted a line-drive into the Mannywood section. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Wednesday night was also Manny Ramirez Bobblehead Night, making him the first Dodger ever to hit a home run on their bobblehead night. Dodgers play-by-play announcer Vin Scully said that it was the loudest he's heard Dodger Stadium since Kirk Gibson's legendary home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. Hollywood could not have wrote a better script.
The St. Louis Cardinals made a huge trade today, as they acquired Matt Holliday from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for some prospects. Holliday is a three-time All-Star and will provide protection in the lineup for Albert Pujols. This move should all but assure St. Louis of winning the National League Central.
I'm on vacation in San Diego with my family right now. I've always said that San Diego is the best city in California. The weather is perfect, so are the beaches and the bays, and the scenery is amazing. (If you know what I mean)
Less than one month until I go back to ASU and it can't come soon enough. ( Well 28 days to be exact, but who's counting?)
