Dodgers 6, Phillies 3
August 7, 2004: The Dodgers lead the Padres in the NL West by five games. They are at home, playing the Phillies, and once more Odalis Perez is on the mound with a shutout. Green robs Doug Glanville of an RBI single with a fantastic catch.
And then he wails one out of the park.
Was last year's failure more important?
Let us now praise famous... centerfielders. Bradley's stellar centerfield defense is simply jaw-dropping. But besides that, it seems to me that he and Hee Seop Choi have something in common: both were players out of place in their former homes. Call me provincial, but I just don't think Cleveland was ready for Milton. And Choi -- well, aside from the fact that the Cubs aren't exactly known for their Asian scouting (from what I understand, they backed into him at a Florida training camp for Korean players), Dusty Baker seems to have a standing policy to prevent any rookie from ever playing the minute he stops producing.
OP was brilliant, Brazoban pitched like a rookie, and Dreifort's contract can't end soon enough.
So there.
