A freeway crash for Dodgers

After watching the Dodgers mail in their third straight “Somnambulists’ Special” against the Angels, two thoughts spring to mind:

1. Grady Little’s got the guys playing as if it’s October and it’s the National League playoffs.

2. Instead of Troy Glaus, maybe the Dodgers should think about trading LaRoche, Kemp and Billingsley for Mike Scioscia.

Of the Angels’ sweep over the Dodgers last weekend, Mike Scioscia, in analyzing the outcome, emphasized this point: “We had a lot of good first-to-thirds.” How impressive (and rare) is that kind of analysis?

So let me get this straight: One local team plays one of its best games of the year (the Angels’ 9-1 win Friday) and all Bill Plaschke can come up with is that Brad Penny is to be congratulated that he didn’t act like a 3-year-old when he and his team had an off game? So, is the next column about how Phil didn’t smirk too much as the Clippers beat the Lakers?

Interleague play, it doesn’t get any better than this -- getting to watch the Angels play and have Vin Scully announcing the game.

With Juan Pierre’s on-base percentage hugging the .300 line and opponents hitting .306 against Brett Tomko, I suggest letting Pierre hit only when he can face Tomko. This remedy would also prevent Pierre from hurting the team with his glove in center field. Thankfully, only 4 3/4 more years on Pierre’s contract!

Is there anything wrong with Ervin Santana pitching only at Angel Stadium and letting Dustin Moseley take Santana’s spot in the rotation for road games?

Santana wins, Moseley wins, the team wins and the fans win.

What I’d like to see is for any fan who catches one of Barry Bonds’ homers, from now until he breaks Hank Aaron’s record, to simply throw it back onto the field. I realize that expecting a fan to do that for the record-setting home run ball might be asking too much, given how much it will be worth. But what better way to demonstrate the disdain many of us hold for the manner in which Bonds has conducted himself over the years, not to mention the possible use of chemical enhancements to achieve the record?

Hey, I’ve got a great idea! When Barry is due to break the home run record, why don’t Bud Selig, Hank Aaron, J.A. Adande, Bill Shaikin, Ben Bolch, Bill Plaschke and all of the other naysayers stay home with their soapboxes and pulpits? That should leave plenty of room at the stadium for real baseball fans who would enjoy watching history being made.

“McCourt has made parking better than ever at stadium” has to be the least credible headline since “Dewey Defeats Truman.”

Was parking better when Scott Avenue was open for entry and exit? Yes. Was parking better in 1962 when L.A. County’s population was 6 million instead of nearly 10 million? Yes.

But there can be no doubt that the loathsome Mr. McCourt has made parking more expensive than ever.
