The Lakers pretty much demoralize the poor Utah Jazz in the Western Conference Semi-Finals last week. The Jazz had no answer for Pau and Bynum (when he was involved) and poor Deron Williams just could not beat the Lakers by himself. So the Lakers swept them in four games and have a week off to prepare for the Suns.
On a rubbing salt in the wounds kind of moment, poor Carlos Boozer who probably played his last game for Utah had his Escalated backed into by the Lakers media bus as they were leaving the arena on Monday. First Pau owned him then the bus backs into him, I think his reaction was like “Are you serious?”

Going to the Grand Prix on Friday is a fun experience. You can walk freely around the track and through the Lifestyle Expo because usually there are less people than on Saturday and definitely on Sunday. If you go into the pits the drivers are usually more willing to sign autographs and talk because they have not yet gotten into “race mode” yet. A fun thing to do is watch the Pro/Celebrity practice and if you get over by their pit area early enough you can get some autographs and pictures with the celebrities. Here is a list of all the Pro/Celebrity drivers:
Chris Ashworth North Hollywood Toyota – Vice President

Dave Pasant Retired Insurance Executive

The Los Angeles Dodgers start their first homestand of the year tomorrow against the Arizona Diamondbacks. With a big question about their pitching staff and some tough road loses.
Clayton Kershaw takes the mound for the Dodgers vs a good young pitcher for Arizona in Ian Kennedy. On a side note Ian Kennedy is a local guy who grew up in the Southern California area and then attended University of Southern California (USC), so we will root for him except in this case because he is pitching against the Dodgers. The hope for LA is Kershaw will be able to pitch into the 6 or 7 inning and give the bullpen some much needed rest. The D-Backs do not have the most potent offense, however they did put up 13 runs on Sunday in the fourth inning and have young players like Justin Upton and Stephen Drew that pose a threat.
What will Joe do with the offensive line-up tomorrow? Ronnie Belliard is tearing the cover off the ball and Casey Blake is also off to a pretty hot start, should Belliard move to second base ahead of Blake DeWitt. Since Ian Kennedy is a righty it would make since to start Blake who bats left handed, so what will Joe do to increase the offensive output.
Reports are Either’s ankle is feeling better which means he will get the start in right field tomorrow, giving Garrett Anderson and Reed Johnson their places back on the bench. High Fives go out to both who filled in admirably for Either and Ramirez. Looks like so far Ned has done a good job with those pick-ups.
Good luck to the Boys in Blue and if you need tickets for the homestand take a look here. Los Angeles Dodgers Tickets at Dodger Stadium
