Joe Torre announced today that the opening day starter for your Los Angeles Dodgers is Hiroki Kuroda on April 6 in San Diego. Kuroda who went 9-10 with a 3.73 ERA last season only went 3-8 on the road. One of those road victories however was against San Diego. If the rotation goes as planned, Chad Billingsley would be the starter for the home opener against the San Francisco Giants on April 13.

LA Lakers defeat San Antonio Spurs 102-95. The Lakers started out strong in the first quarter shooting 64%, but the mileage from the road trip started to show in the second half. What was once an 18 point lead dwindled away to just two points with two minutes left in the game. But the Lakers withstood everything the Spurs threw at them giving them a crucial road win. The Lakers have yet to lose to the same opponent twice, and the win gives them their 20th Pacific Division title. They are the first Western Conference team to clinch a playoff spot, and with the Spurs now 8 1/2 games out of first place look to have firm control of the best record in the West.

The Dodgers first half was, as Project Runway 4 winner Christian Siriano puts it, “A hot tranny mess.”

Angels defeat Twins 9-1. Catcher Mike Napoli and first baseman Casey Kotchman had solo homers to demolish the Twins. Jon Garland pitched eight innings for the Angels giving up six hits and one earned run in the fifth on 95 pitches. 95 pitches! For today the Angels pitching gives a sigh of relief.
