Doug Padilla: Go fish on Salmon inquiry
While reporters often speculate, manager Mike Scioscia usually doesn't play along. Before Friday's game aginst the Yankees, Scioscia was asked if Juan Rivera might be playing in center field Saturday. It was a logical assumption because the right-handed hitting Rivera would spell the left-handed hitting Darin Erstad with the lefty Randy Johnson on the mound for the Yankees. That would give Tim Salmon a chance to make his first start at home as the designated hitter. Or maybe Rivera will replace Garret Anderson in left. Anderson is batting just .167 (3-for-18) against Johnson, while Erstad is hitting .250 (5-for-20) against the big lefty. Or maybe Salmon waits until Sunday since he is batting just .176 (9-for-51) against Johnson.

Blog is a good idea, but how about a daily posting and get Dodger info on here?

Doug,
You need to cut the cord with all your White Sox stories. It's getting old. We know, we know, you used to be Ozzie's pet. Let it go.
