Welcome To The Playoffs Jon Garland

From Ken Gurnick...
Starter Hiroki Kuroda has a herniation of his cervical spine and will not pitch
in the first round of the playoffs, Dodgers manager Joe Torre said Friday.

Add Kuroda to the ever-growing list of sore Dodgers including Casey Blake, Ronny Belliard, Manny Ramirez, Hong-Chih Kuo, Orlando Hudson and Andre Ethier. Ok, so technically Ethier isn't hurt, but his recent slump (1-29, 0.34 ERA) has at least a few people wincing in pain.

Kershaw, Bills, Wolf. Order TBD.

I don't see where Garland fits in, I'd rather go with a 3-man rotation in the NLDS.

How Padilla is getting the start (at least for now) on Sunday is beyond me.

Fucking Joe Torre.

I think he's at least getting named to the roster.

A 3 man in the NLDS is one thing, but what if Kuroda can't go in the NLCS and beyond?

Greg Zakwin said...

Maybe in the NLCS, but I definitely wouldn't start him in the first round.

Torre must have a chubby for Vicente.
