Take The C Out Of Closer And It's Loser: Giants 6, Dodgers 5
So with the Dodgers. Oh, I so want to hear Grittle weasel his way out of this one. What kind of aw-shucks smokescreen will he trot out? That the loss was somehow on the offense? Coming into the ninth without having to face Bonds and a three run lead, Baez shouldn't have needed any help. Instead, he leaves a greasy smudge on the scoreboard with a "BS, L" mark behind it. And it's not as though Little didn't have plenty of time to make a decision; the Giants nearly batted around in the ninth. After the tie, he had no excuse, and you could argue that having taken the game to a 5-4 score, Baez shouldn't have been allowed to face Ortmeyer, either.
At least the Dodgers are hitting. The bad news might be that another strong outing by Sele means he's cemented his position in the rotation, one that will inevitably result in a month's worth of losses before he gets demoted to the bullpen and starts making petulent comments about his role there.

Also, there is a headline on the Dodger page of ESPN that reads "Giants rally past Angels; Bonds 0-3". Wow, and for a minute there I thought it was the Dodgers who just lost a sure win.
: 5/13/2006 08:13:00 PMThe Angels lost a one-run contest and are averaging 12 hits and 8 runs a game in this series. "Little Leaguers" is over the top.
In other news, is Kendry Morales showing signs of coming around? He did have a slow start last year as well, but not this slow of a start. He is 7 for his last 13, though. One can only hope.
