Yankees pitcher Chien-Ming Wang ... told Taiwanese reporters Thursday that ... he would not be opposed to going to the Dodgers. Diamond Leung also calls Wang "a non-tender candidate" in his blog entry , but I would imagine that the Yankees can afford to pay him a few million dollars - he made $5M in 2009 and is arbitration-eligible for the third time - as an insurance policy, to see if he...

Pitching Stars Hong Chih Kuo He's one of the few arm in the vaunted Dodgers bullpen that actually came through in this series. He threw four innings and allowed a mere two hits and one run. Kuo struck out six and walked none. He did give up a homer in Game 5, but it was essentially meaningless. Like i've said about him many times before, when he's healthy, he's arguably the best reliever in the entire...

Happ , Cliff Lee , Clayton Kershaw and Randy Wolf ) are likely to start the majority of games in the NLCS, which begins tonight in Los Angeles -- and that's not to mention the solid lefthanded relievers...

Floating out in the commentariat netherworld are two ideas suggesting that the Dodgers have an advantage over the Phillies in the NLCS. First, there's the 3-0 advantage. This argument notes that the Dodgers easily swept the Cardinals , finishing their series on Saturday. In contrast, the Phillies needed another game and two more days to defeat the Wild Card team. Thus, the Dodgers are at an advantage...

My general opinions haven't changed much from my Divisional Series playoff roster , but I believe that it's difficult to change much between playoff series unless there's an injury, so you'll see a roster here that's a lot more in tune with what the Dodgers already have. Starting Lineup C-Russell Martin 1B-James Loney 2B-Ronnie Belliard 3B-Casey Blake SS-Rafael Furcal LF-Manny Ramirez CF-Matt Kemp...

Pitching Stars Vicente Padilla What can I say? To date, Padilla has made the best start out of everybody in the postseason. Probably one of the most surprising ones too. Clayton Kershaw Pressure? What pressure? He allowed 2 earned runs over 6 2/3 innings, and went toe-to-toe with Cy Young candidate Adam Wainwright. He played a significant role in making it possible for that magical finale to happen....

Clayton Kershaw on the mound. AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill The kid gloves come off today for starter Clayton Kershaw. The 21-year old phenom with that devastating 12-6 curveball that Vin Scully called “public enemy #1” will be at the adult table in game two of the National League Divisional Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. While such a daunting could give a kid a case of the butterflies,...

Browse more photos » Last night, the Dodgers were able to utilize their top four relievers to close out the game. It wasn't the conventional way of course, as Randy Wolf was pulled in the fourth inning, but the Dodgers have to be happy any time they have a lead after five or six innings and can...
