Hee Seop Joy: Dodger 6, Rockies 3

My wife, who went to Arkansas State, tells me U. Arkansas had a great cheer at the football games: Woo! Pig! Soooey! Not only is it great because it's simple, but it's great because you can get it down no matter how smashed you are. (Not that she would do anything that unladylike, of course.)

Hee Seop Choi now gets that kind of a cheer, and for the same reasons, the Dodgers have a new star du jour. "This town ain't big enough for the two of us" threats may, for the moment, be cast aside with the victory, the sweeter for it having come from a player until recently a castaway on his own team. Choi more than doubled his RBIs on the season with the slam.

Through four, OP and Jennings had remarkably similar outings if judged by hits, walks, and runs, but OP struggled mightily in the first, tossing 27 pitches. He settled down increasingly after that, though, only giving up three hits and one walk. You'd be hard-pressed to remember that this victory brings him to .500 against the Rockies.

The Rockies' pen, porous as ever, continues its woes, with Jose Acevedo giving up a pair on a Drew homer, though Chin-hui Tsao, whom I incorrectly remembered from last year as a Dodger-killer, provided a nice (for the Rocks) scoreless eighth.
