Final Notes on Dodger Opening Day & Tonight's Linuep


Clayton Kershaw's performance on Opening Day was awesome!  Nine strikeouts, no runs & only on walk through seven innings was just what the team needed going against the Giants & Tim Lincecum.  The team won and that is what counts but there was one statistic that jumped out at me after the game.  The Dodgers were 1-11 with runners in scoring position stranding nine runners.  They definitely had plenty of chances to break the game open but just couldn't come up with the clutch hit.  Hopefully, this doesn't become the norm.

Juan Uribe was scratched from tonight's game due to still being sore from getting hit by a Tim Lincecum pitch in yesterday's opener.  Aaron Miles will get the start at 3rd base in his place.
Tonight's lineup:
Furcal
De Jesus
Ethier
Kemp
Thames
Loney 
Barajas
Miles
Billingsley

True to the Blue!
