A day after the Dodgers exploded for eight runs, Cincinnati Reds’ starter Bronson Arroyo (W, 14-7) and his Rockettes-style high kick out of the wind-up confounded the Dodgers for seven innings in their 5-2 loss. “He teases you a lot where he very rarely throws two pitches the same speed,” manager Joe Torre said about Arroyo.

Even my cat has more fight in him. more ›

1. Two words: Hall of Fame shoo-in Greg Maddux (328 wins) is pitching like a HOF shoo-in. Two earned runs in 12 innings isn't bad for an old man who looks like Ferris Bueller. 2. When Rafael Furcal is hitting homers (three in the last 12 games), the big Dodger in the sky is smiling down on you. 3. Just like "Moneyball" says, spending big bucks on closers is silly. Much love to Game... more ›
