Blah blah Red Sox whatever. Will A-Rod be a Dodger?

It took me a few beats to work out why exactly the Dodger Stadium crowd was cheering a double by the Braves.

Realizing he had the perfect game going made Blake Dewitt's sepctacular play in the 7th on Blanco's bunt even more extra awesomer than it already was.

The Dodgers desperately need to make a trade for some starting pitching soon. It was good to see Kuroda at his finest, but their rotation is barely hanging on. It's going to hurt, but they're going to have to make the tough decision and trade one or more of the brigade of awesome young players.

ETA: Oh, and under the heading of, "the defense steps up when the pitcher is pitching well," since when is Angel Berroa able to cover as much ground as he did on that play in the 9th?
