Ain't got the blues

The Dodgers did it again last night, coming from behind to beat the Padres 3-1 at Petco Park. They seem to keep finding someone to keep them in the ballgame long enough to hand things over to the bullpen. In the absence of übercloser Eric Gagne, Yhency Brazoban has been impressive as the Dodgers' closer - in 7 1/3 innings he's given up just 3 earned runs and has struck out 8.

Just one random thought on the game - I've nothing against honouring US military personnel, if that's what clubs want to do, but the idea can get taken a little too far:
