...manager Joe Torre heads west from you-know-where to take over in L.A., where he he'll try to heal a Dodger clubhouse in which the vets like Jeff Kent and Nomar Garciaparra and young guys like Matt Kemp and James Loney have previously failed to get along. New centerfielder Andruw Jones hit just .222 in his last Atlanta season - he'll need to get his bat back if Torre can work his magic once again...
...three straight blowouts to No. 14 San Diego (19-9, 1-1 WCC).
