But has anyone noticed that on this homestand, the Dodgers have scored runs in four of the 34 innings in which they have batted? They have scored a TOTAL of nine runs in the four games, with five of those coming IN ONE INNING. It’s certainly not panic time, not with an 8 1/2-game lead in the division — the Giants gained a game by virtue of Randy Johnson winning his 300th tonight — but it’s a disturbing trend, to say the least. My buddy Kevin Baxter pointed out in today’s L.A. Times that the Dodgers averaged 5.6 runs a game before Manny got suspended and that they are still averaging 5.3 runs a game without him. But lately, they have really hit the skids. And don’t forget that before they exploded for eight runs in the series finale at Chicago last weekend, they scored a total of three runs in the first three games of that series. They have now been shut out twice in the past six days.
I can't speak for the Dodger offense, but I know why my ears don't work. Tre Cool, and his maniacal drumming. Billie Joe Armstrong, and his shrieking voice. Mike Dirnt, and his thundering bass.
I'm deaf. The only noise I can pick up is the ringing in my ears after rocking out with Green Day at the Henry Fonda Theatre last night. Huge band, less than 800 people in the venue, almost 30 songs, time of my life.

Ha, I thought Greenday had died...Just as the bats did in yesterdays.
Yay!!! (You should wear ear plugs though when you know you're gonna get rocked too hard!)
