From the medical journal Duh, pitcher Chad Billingsley is not likely to start on Tuesday for the Dodgers, two days after getting scratched with right elbow inflammation. But his injury could cause him to miss just one start.
Cole Hamels is not traded to the Rangers, Pirates, or Tigers for naked pictures of Kate Upton, yet. But Joe Blanton pitches eight solid innings and Ryan Howard hits a home run to right the world for Phillies fans.
The Dodgers dug themselves a hole on Monday night, and Joe Blanton and the Phillies made sure they didn't climb out of it, delivering a 3-2 defeat to the Dodgers for their third straight loss.
The Dodgers got some relatively good news regarding Chad Billingsley on Monday, as a second MRI confirmed inflammation in his elbow but nothing more. Manager Don Mattingly said, "We're just really happy there's nothing serious on the MRI."
What a difference a month makes. On June 7, the Dodgers beat Cole Hamels and the Phillies 8-3 in Philadelphia to complete their first four-game sweep in the city of brotherly love since 1946. The Dodgers after that sweep were 37-21, three and a half
