Diamondbacks 9, Dodgers 8
The boys blew a five-run lead in the late innings, but Andruw Jones went 3 for 4 with a double, a two-run homer and a stolen base. Chan Ho Park pitched three solid innings, shutting out the D-backs on two hits. Problem is, he actually pitched FOUR innings, and the fourth one wasn't too good. He gave up back-to-back, one-out walks, then a three-run bomb to Chris Snyder, the first earned runs Park has allowed all spring. Snyder hit another three-run jack later in the game, and Rudy Seanez's gopher ball to Justin Upton turned an 8-7 lead into a 9-8 deficit. Dodgers fall to 9-14-2 for the spring. Home against the Angels tomorrow.

Is Sobrino Favorito serious? If so, I feel bad for Angel fans everywhere when they're this pumped up about Cactus League games.

Toby, just ignore Sobrino Favorito. He is an Angels FANATIC who needs to get a life. Two years ago, when the Dodgers actually swept a series from the Angels (three of the roughly five wins they have against the Angels since I have been on the beat), he was so inconsolable that we had to talk him off the edge of a cliff. If the Dodgers win today, I'm sure it'll be a similar scenario.
