Taking The Extra Base

A Look Around The Dodger Blogosphere

Jon Weisman's book, 100 Things Dodger Fans Should Know And Do Before They Die, was highlighted by KCAL Channel 9. A great gift for any Dodger fan. Buy the book! Video link

Congratulations to the wonderful Dodger blog True Blue LA, which recently surpassed the 1,000 member mark. Co-moderator Eric Stephens points out that the Dodgers have drawn the most walks of any team in baseball with 217. The Dodger walk gap is +17, which is good for just under half a win.

Orel of Sons of Steve Garvey blog fame, had a great time in the Dodgers press box for a recent game. I may try this for a game or two later in the season, so thanks for helping blaze the trail Orel and not spilling any Nachos in the blog spot.

Tony Jackson over at LA Dodger Talk, says "that Jason Schmidt’s rehab has been shut down because of “discomfort” he felt in his shoulder". Can we just give up on Jason and make him a special assistant to the General Manager? I'm sure Bill Mueller, Lee Elia and company are getting lonely.

Are wedding bells in store for Casey Blake and Mike Scoscia's Tragic Illness blog? Apparently not, but MSTI does a great job pointing out how Casey Blake has been carrying the load since Manny was suspended.

And last but not least, Blue Heaven, shows off a recent college baseball workout (video) for some of the MLB scouts in attendance.
