Injuries Everywhere!

What is going on?!

On the heels of Russell Martin announcing he'd be out 4-6 weeks, Cory Wade is going to be out 2 weeks with a shoulder issue, and Casey Blake had to leave today's game because of a strained side muscle.

We're less than a week into Spring Training and everyone is breaking down! Luckily, Blake's injury doesn't seem serious, and Wade will be back before Spring Training is over, but I don't like the bad vibes we're starting this season with.

In other news, this headline from Dodgers.com forced me to come up with a bad joke, that I know I shouldn't share with the outside world, but I just can't help myself.


Well, sure, Martin is easy. Let's see him spell Mientkiewicz.

All-Star Game

Entertaining game, the American League won, so no homefield advantage for the Dodgers if they get to the World Series.

The only Dodger All-Star, Russell Martin, played a pretty good game.

He went 1-3, had a sac-bunt, and made a couple of really good defensive plays.

Now, after a long All-Star game, he needs to get home and rest up. The season re-starts on Friday.

Also: In not good news, Takashi Saito will be out six weeks with a strained ligament in his right elbow. Jonathan Broxton will be the replacement closer, at least for now.
