Despite a shaky start to the 2009 season, Monday night's starter John Lackey looked like a legitimate ace, as the Angels defeated the San Francisco 9-7, their fourth straight victory.
While inconsistent at beast to start off the season, Lackey looked like his old-self, as he pitched seven strong ... 16Jun2009 |

With Titles being handed out in the NBA (yawn) and the NHL (in spectacular fashion) last week, it seems appropriate to discuss SoCal baseball with the World Series in mind.
Let's Get This One Out Of The Way

Dodgers Help Lower Phillies' Team ERA
The Dodgers offense has finally slowed down a bit from its torrid pace. Whether it was with Manny Ramirez or without, they seemed to be able to string hits together at will and score runs in bunches. Facing a Phillies' pitching staff that boasts the second worst ... 8Jun2009 |

Tonight, Kelvim Escobar is expected to make one final Minor League start for Triple-A Salt Lake, and if all goes according to plan, he will start next Saturday in Detroit against the Tigers.

Wanted: Season-Saving Rally Monkey
Ervin Santana's much anticipated return to the Angels has not gone as the team hoped. He is 0-2 with a 9.50 ERA (31 runs allowed in four games), but he isn't much worse than the rest of the Angels right now. Hovering just one game over .500, the injury-riddled ... 1Jun2009 |

On Pace For 64 Homers (That'd Be The Record, Right?)
The bad news for the Padres is that they are second-to-last in the National League in runs scored and batting average. The good news is that division rival Arizona is last in both, and Rockies are equally inept. The Padres had lost six straight ... 18May2009 |

Signs Of Things To Come?
The big story in baseball last week was the Manny Ramirez-suspension of course. You've already read, heard, and seen all the angles of this one, but what we're left with are questions about how the Dodgers will fare for the next two months without Manny. On paper, they're still the most talented team in the division ... 11May2009 |
