Weirdness...

It's been a weird couple of days in Dodger land. Monday, Nomar was plunked three times in one game, tying a major league record. Interestingly enough, it's the third time this particular record has been tied this year. Toronto's Reed Johnson has already managed to do it two times this year. Johnson's been plunked thrice twice!

And on top of everything else, just when many of us thought the Dodgers' pitching situation couldn't possibly get any worse, who trots into tonight's game but Giovanni Carrara, who I last saw pitching for the Pirates' AAA team against the PawSox back in April. He'd come into a 0-0 tie in the tenth inning, loaded the bases, and then gave up the game winning sacrifice fly. I mean, the Pirates are by far the worst team in the National League, and they decided that he wasn't good enough to pitch for their minor league team, so they released him. I have no idea why Neddy signed him. He's already given up a run in his first inning of work. Fortunately, LA still has an eight run lead. ::Crosses fingers...::
