Why a picture of some crappy book by Darryl Strawberry? Only because the same picture of Charlie Haeger is being used all over the internet right now, so I thought I'd pick something that wouldn't appear on any other site. Alright, on to business...
Charlie Haeger, welcome to Dodgertown. After a serviceable start in his first outing (7 IP, 3 ER) Haeger comes back to shutout the Cubs (7+ IP, 0 R, 3 H) his second time around, virtually solidifying a roster spot for the remainder of the season. Even if he gets moved to the bullpen over Vicente Padilla (which for the record I'd be 100% against, and just might leave a flaming bag of dog poop on Joe Torre's front porch if it actually happens) it appears Haeger's cheap motel nights in 2009 are over.
--------------------------------
Speaking of over, Matt Kemp hit his second inning home run over EVERYTHING. From Ken Gurnick...
The home run Kemp launched -- measured at 449 feet -- sailed into rarefied territory for Dodger Stadium, completely clearing the back-left corner of the Dodgers' bullpen and bouncing off the elevated walkway behind it.The ball was hit so far that I lost sight of it from my seat in the infield reserve level. Good times at Dodger Stadium on a Saturday afternoon.
