News item: Clayton Kershaw set for MLB debut

he's also a Cyclone - so expect explosive, mind-altering pain-explosion of shoulder and/or elbow after four+ innings to get excited.

Four+ innings?

Try warm-ups.

no - it's almost imperative that there's at least some reason for optimism so that we hold on to him during the inevitable years of recuperation....

I see a line like this:

4.1 2 2 1 3 7

and

notes:

Matt Kemp's double in the third was his 7th double in his last 31 at bats

Skip Schumaker has now hit safely in 7 of his last 8 games

Clayton Kershaw had to leave the game in the 4th inning after apparently a small pipe bomb(s) exploded in his elbow/shoulder area. This has the hallmarks of an Al Quaeda attack as the bone fragments seem to fly from both parts of his arm simultaneously. Witnesses said they heard the sound of what sounded like an e-chord being snapped and ligaments apparently of Kershawian origin were seen near a Dodger Dog stand.

Andre Ethier started in his 8th consecutive game

ALbert Pujols hit safely in his tenth consecutive game when he singled in the seventh inning

It was Chad Billingsley bobble-head day
