The good news is that this was the first-ever meeting of S.F. and L.A. in the spring in 30 years. Seriously. The Dodgers used to be in Florida. FLORIDA. Really. Who practices on the East Coast of the United States when playing on the West Coast of the United States. Dodgers. That's who. ;) Jon teased Ken Levine by saying he was "once a well-known radio broadcaster, and now works for the Dodgers". Ken Levine caught it. Jon said, "well, it's the Dodgers; what do you expect?" Jovial, but classic. I did hear from guest Charlie Steiner that the Dodgers extended the contract to Manny Ramirez (for those of you following big-name signings). I'd be happy to see we do not get him.
Some notable players: Ishikawa and Aurilia.
The bad news is that it was just spring training. It was entertaining, but our pitching and eventually the Dodger fielding just blew up. 6-0 L.A., then we took advantage of backup fielding and cut it to 6-4. Then 6-5. Next 10-5, though Velez made a fantastic throw from the outfield behind 2B (he also hit well after finally coming in). Of our recent bullpen signings, Howry did well and Affeldt--well, I hope Affeldt was just trying to fine-tune a particular pitch in a particular location, because they lit him up. I'll spare you the rest of the details:
FINAL
L.A. - 16
S.F. - 7
Oy.
