3/13/11 LA Dodgers 3, Chicago Cubs 4

Cashman Field, Las Vegas, NV
(Las Vegas Exhibition Game #2)

Second game of the Las Vegas Exhibition series, this time hosting the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. Another one run game, lower scoring than yesterday, but this time the W ended up on the right side!



Zambrano was great, 5 IP, 6H, BB, 3K, only 1 run! Kyle Smit needs to gain a few pounds!! Jeff Baker is good at baseball!!!

Starting for the Dodgers today: Rubby De La Rosa, I saw him start for the Chattanooga Lookouts this summer. Jerry Sands and Dee Gordon were also in the Lookouts lineup for that game, and made appearances in this one as well.

Dodgers' relief 1st baseman Gimenez hits a HR in the 8th inning that "killed" the inflatable cow on the RF wall.

Watching the game on WGN, I got my first glimpse of Trey Hillman in a Dodgers uniform. Ewwwww.

BIL Tour: 8/24/10 Mobile Bay Bears 2, Chattanooga Lookouts 10

AT&T Field, Chattanooga, TN

First game of the tour was an exciting one; the challenging Mobile Bay Bears get way behind the Lookouts in the 3rd inning, charged with 4 errors during their frame while the Lookouts scored 7 runs (none earned). Craziest play of the night was during this inning, where the Lookouts sent Corey Smith all the way home from 1B and 3 BayBears at the plate still couldn't keep Matt Wallach from crossing home plate on a 2-6-2-5-1 snafu play... The shutout ended in the 8th, when Rubby DeLaRosa gave up back-to-back singles to start the inning, both scored.

MOB 2 6 4
CHA 10 11 3

The official scorer ruled Mobile's Jake Elmore's single a hit, I called it an error...SS Dee Gordon could have made that play when he was in T-Ball.

Program with scorecard = 25 cents. Cheapest EVER.

Two BIL firsts: we saw our first BALK and went home with game-used balls signed by Manager Carlos Subero.
