More on Bennett's mechanics at Inside the Dodgers; apparently this took up a great deal of time at Torre's postgame press conference. Help for Dodger fans who may not get this reference. It's the song they play at Angels Stadium before every game.

15 Mar 2008 21:56:01 PDT

Written by Jim McLennan
The game was totally sold out. I don't think I've seen so many scalpers at a Spring Training game before. That was probably no surprise; we bought our tickets a couple of months back, and even at that point, the best seats remaining were in the last section bleachers, out by the AZ bullpen.
