Not quite an off day
Yes, we are devoid of a baseball game tonight at the stadium, but it’s still a very exciting night. Eric Gagne is hosting his annual bowling tournament tonight and Lucky Strike in Hollywood and there are still a couple spots left if you’re interested in trying to bowl a strike alongside some of the game’s best strike-throwers. Okay, bad pun but it’s a Monday morning.
There should be about a dozen players there, as well as several Hollywood celebs like Freddie Prinze Jr. and James Van Der Beek, among others. It’s a great night for giving, as proceeds benefit the Dodgers Dream Foundation and Eric’s other favority charity, the Mattel Children’s Hospital.
Otherwise, we’re all playing catchup here at the ballpark today, as off-days at home are few and far between. Tomorrow we’ll be back at it, as Odalis Perez will be activated from the bereavement list. The rotation still hasn’t been set for the weekend in SF, but we’ll have Jae Seo, Brett Tomko and Derek Lowe against the Astros.
And for all the underdog fans out there, we wish good luck to the Clippers tonight in their series opener. Derek Lowe showed up at Dodger Stadium wearing a Clippers’ beanie two days ago, so you know the support is there from our side.
Inside the Dodgers 
It’s really going to **** if Barry Bonds passes Babe Ruth this weekend against the Dodgers.
Is Gagne still going to bowl left handed as planned? And what inspired him to put on a bowling tournament?
Hey how about asking Gagne to do another Bowling night in Yorba Linda ( Orange County ) ??? A number of players have homes out this way and I know he could get a great response for his charities !!!
Nice article on Olmedo Saenz on Dodgers.com. He also had a great catch in foul territory, I think Saturday, that led into ESPN’s web gems. He’s a very solid player.
I think Michigan boy Derek Lowe might actually support the Clippers throughout the playoffs, unless of course they wind up facing his beloved Pistons at the Finals, lol.
