LAst Night's Action: Colon Trouble

Dodgers 5, Phillies 4 - Los Angeles recovered from a shellacking to take the series from Philadelphia 2-1. Andre Ethier and Luis Gonzalez both hit jacks and the team got strong support from the bullpen. Russell Martin stole his 17th base, one shy of the team's all time record for a catcher. Could he be a five tool player?

Devil Rays 7, Angels 2 - The Angels have lost 11 of their last 17 (including two in a row to Tampa Bay), yet still clutch the top spot in the AL West. Bartolo Colon's record fell to 6-5, continuing his recent frustrations after starting the season 5-0.

Elsewhere - ESPN is opening an LA Bureau, but that's not the only thing we learned in a leaked internal memo from the sports broadcast giant ... The Masters Athletics World Championships learned the hard way that geriatrics should not be throwing javelins near other people ... Thanks to Larry Brown for organizing an LA sports blogger mixer last night and to Scott Schmidt for telling us about it.

Tonight's Action - Meet the Mets, meet the Mets! Step right up and greet the Mets! Tonight at 7:00pm at Dodger Stadium ... If you're up for some early action, the Halos are in Tampa starting at 9:00am Pacific time ... The Countrywide Classic continues at UCLA through the weekend.
