And they're going over how to pitch to Loretta.The guy is sporting a slash line of 1.67/.215/.183 since July 1st, what's there to go over?
-------------------------------------------
Not counting the two run home run he allowed to Kelly Johnson on August 7th, Hong-Chih Kuo has given up all of one run since his return from the DL back in July. His ERA over that time is a cool 0.81.
Not to be outdone, George Sherrill has allowed zero runs since coming to Los Angeles via trade at the end of July.
-------------------------------------------
Today's win over Colorado places the Dodgers four games ahead in the NL West, with a seven game pad on San Francisco for the Wild Card. That's something I think most of us would take at this point in the season every year going forward. The Dodgers made a statement the past two games, but with all the Michael Vick boners popping up at ESPN it's doubtful anyone outside of Los Angeles even noticed.

How about Torre letting Broxton hit with two runners on base in the eighth inning of a one run game so he could pitch the ninth? I thought that was a pretty gutsy move and it worked out well.
I guess he figured a one run lead was safe with Broxton coming back out in the ninth. It usually is.
tim- It was the only move. Unless he hadn't double switched.
Even if Sherrill is available, Broxton is your best reliever, he has to pitch the 9th in that situation if he's got a pulse.
