From the press box…

The last post was brief, as we had quite a bit going on during pregame and I had to throw something up there quickly from Grady’s office. Though you’ve probably read Ken Gurnick’s notebook already, Kent doesn’t think his injury is that serious and the MRI didn’t show any structural damage. But, he thinks it’ll still be a few more days to a week and we couldn’t afford to play short-handed all week.

Also, as you have probably seen, Ramon Martinez was still too sore to start, so Aybar moved over to second, Saenz went to third base and the lineup shifted around.

Meanwhile, Joel Guzman is now here and he just appeared in the dugout. He’s wearing No. 50 and his fellow rookies are making this big league thing look easy. A three-run rifle down the left-field line by Matt Kemp for his first big league homer and a solo shot by Russell Martin a few minutes ago gave the Dodgers a 4-0 lead.

And it’s great to see so many people taking a shot at a chance to win four baseline seats by guessing the first three picks in the upcoming draft.

J.D. Drew just hit a three-run bomb…7-0. Let’s hope we don’t see Gagne on the field tonight.
