Angels 1, Dodgers 0

| | Comments (3) |

And hold the phone on what I reported earlier today about Pierre, because he may NOT be the everyday LF. In fact, he may be headed to the DL. Or not. He isn't flying to Houston with the team tonight, and he will have an MRI tomorrow. If it shows nothing, I'm guessing he'll fly to Houston on Tuesday and maybe play that night. If it shows something, he'll probably go on the DL for the first time in his career, and the Dodgers undoubtedly will recall Jason Repko from Vegas and put him in the leadoff spot until Furcal is activated in a week. Torre said after the game that Delwyn Young is the most likely candidate to lead off tomorrow night, when the Dodgers will operate with 24 players, but he didn't commit to that. Said Matt Kemp is a remote possibility, too. If you didn't see it, Pierre stole second in the sixth inning, sliding in headfirst as always, and Erick Aybar fell on the back of Pierre's left knee. Pierre rolled around in agony for a few minutes, then tried to walk it off, then tried to talk Torre into leaving him in the game, but that wasn't going to happen. ... Dodgers fall to 38-43 and stay 2 1/2 behind the Snakes. Meanwhile, the Giants are creeping up again. They're just 2 1/2 behind the Dodgers, whom they will host for three starting Friday.

I felt bad for being happy about the injury for about 15 minutes. Then I envisioned Matt Kemp sitting on the bench while Pierre got 2 infield singles every other game, and I got over it.
