15May2012Matt Kemp didn’t want to do it, but happily the Dodgers training staff erred on the side of caution and didn’t want Kemp’s Grade 1 Strain become a Grade 3. This will force him to rest, because I think Matt only knows one way to pl...

2May2012403 foot HR by Dee Gordon? He has evidently been eating his Wheaties. What a Beast! Let’s just hope he doesn’t start trying to do that…. I don’t put too much stock in the fact that Lindblom and Jansen got rocked a little...
