Maybe Prince Fielder’s buddy Matt Kemp is a better recruiter than we know.

Man, what are all of the folks who voted him MVP thinking? Hell, if this is true, what the hell was he thinking?

The Angels win the Albert Pujols sweepstakes, inking the best hitter in baseball to a 10-year deal worth more than $250 million. They also land pitcher C.J. Wilson.

With the Dodgers locking up Matt Kemp with a new deal, maybe they’ll consider Prince Fielder with another 1. It’s not like Frank McCourt will be on the hook for all that cash.

Thanks for coming. It’s been unreal.

He gets our vote in the NL and we don’t believe it’s close. Thanks for playing Ryan Braun.

Centerfielder Matt Kemp became only the 2nd Dodger (Raul Mondesi was the other) to reach the 30-30 club with his homer tonight in the club’s victory over the Rockies. We’ve believed he’s had 40-40 potential since he reached the Majors, but he might not have enough time to pull it off this season. Kemp needs 7 more stolen bases along with 10 homers in the next 32 games.

Phillies 5, Dodgers 3.
Don’t be fooled. The Phillies celebrated as they flew from San Francisco to L.A. yesterday evening after taking 3 of 4 from the Giants in a heated series. That probably led to some players up in the club, particularly some of those relievers. Hey, Roy Halladay sometimes is off his game.
Still, they had enough in the tank to take care of the woeful Dodgers.

Where’s Bill Cizek when you need him.
The Dodgers fired hitting coach Jeff Pentland after last night’s loss to the Giants. How about canning GM Ned Colletti? He’s the 1 who signed leftovers such as Juan Uribe, Tony Gwynn Jr., Marcus Thames and Dioner Navarro. Colletti, with an assist from the wonderful baseball writers at the former world champion, also was the 1 blaming Matt Kemp for last season’s woes.
How about taking some responsibility for your own shabby work?
Granted, the Dodgers don’t have much to work with since Frank McCourt has no money, but blaming the hitting coach before he can finish his 1st season is just bush league.
