Eddie Murray & Bruin Basketball
Just when you thought the Dodgers were through, they announce yesterday that they've hired Eddie Murray as their new batting coach.
It's a great move. Who wouldn't want a Hall 0f Famer, ex-Dodger, switch-hitting, one of four players in history with 500 home runs (504) and 3,000 hits (3,255), an eight-time All-Star, a three-time Gold Glove winner as part of the coaching staff? This just may appease all the angry, disgruntled fans that have been complaining about McCourt hiring all the wrong people. Incidentally, McCourt will be interviewed on "Mason and Ireland" on ESPN 710 (Los Angeles) today at 3 PM.
There are still a lot of questions with Furcal's recovery from knee surgery, Gagne's recovery from elbow surgery, Drew's recovery from shoulder surgery, Lofton's durability, Garciaparra's consistency, and just how strong our pitching really is. But I must admit, the Dodgers look a lot better than they did 3 months ago. I still don't trust McCourt, but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Tonight the #11 (AP) UCLA Bruins play Washington State who is 4th in the PAC-10. The Bruins, even with the critical loss of Shipp, have been playing with passion this year and hopefully on their way to a winning season and and good show in March.
