Quick turnaround

Not a big of day games after night games, especially NOON games after night games. But there is plenty of coffee in the press room, so I'm ready to go. Kind of ugly and gray right now, but I'm guessing it'll burn off and turn to sunshine by game time. Some kind of Disney promotion going on here today. ... If the Dodgers win today -- and they have their ace, Brad Penny, pitching against John Maine -- they will have swept three of their past four series and taken two of the three in the other one. It's too early to tell whether this team is really this good or not, but whether they are or they aren't, every one of these wins still counts, and every one of them will come in handy if this team finds itself in a tough fight for a playoff berth down the stretch. ... I'm working on tomorrow's off-day story today. Doug Padilla is covering, and a big welcome to Brent Maranto, an aspiring sportswriter who is here shadowing us today. We'll try not to scare him away from the business.
