The nine-game road trip kicks off today. Here’s the lineup:

Furcal, SS

Hudson, 2B

Manny, LF

Ethier, RF (you Ethierholics are all coming to Carne Asada Sunday with Andre, right?)

Loney, 1B

Martin, C

Kemp, CF (simply on-fire)

Blake, 3B

Kershaw, P (tough act to follow after his last outing)

And by the way, in case you guys haven’t seen it yet, there’s a contest online right now where you can get season tickets for the rest of the year (at least starting after May 10, when the contest ends). It’s called Paint the Town Blue and I’d imagine those of you coming to this site are the perfect people for this.
