3-22-06 DATELINE VERO BEACH

I was able to bail Anew out of jail and we arrived at Dodgertown at about 10:00 AM.


Here is Anew stalking the players…


Jeff Kent coming at ya’


Traditions Stadium in Port St. Lucie


Joel Guzman looked awesome in batting practice but looked totally helpless in his one at bat.

Dodgers lost 2-1.

Highlights:

Tomko - Pitched 6 strong innings.  Aybar’s error allowed his only (unearned) run.

Furcal - 2 good hit and one SB

Gagne & Kuo looked good, Brazoban looked bad.

Alomar looks fresh and gunned a runner out with a tremendous throw to 2B

Nomar?  I’m lukewarm.

Mueller - looked like  a pro.

Blake DeWitt had a nice opposite field hit

Lofton - Looks very good.

Aybar’s 2 errors allowed the only Mets runs.

We watched a minor league game for a while and talked with several other Dodger fans.  Anew talked to Terry Collins for a while.

Tomorrow it may rain.  We’re heading to practice in the early AM.

Billingsley and Miller are pitching a minor league game tomorrow.

Jeff Kent was tutoring Russ Martin for a long time today.

JD Drew was mashing and looked healthy.

Izturis is probably ready.  His arm looks great.  He’ll probably start the season on the DL, but he’s ready.

More tomorrow.
