The Dodgers were unexpectedly short a couple of players on Monday. Eyewitnesses report seeing steam coming out of the manager's ears. Either he was angry or his brain tea was ready. Mmmmm brain tea.

Luckily for the eight remaining Dodgers, their opponents (Hazbeens) took pity and waived the auto-outs after the first two innings. On defense, the players were busting their asses running all over the field, trying to cover all the gaps. It was chaotic, but they did remarkably well. In fact, the only truly head-scratching moment came on offense when Rob decided to delay tagging up at third on a deep fly ball by several seconds before lazily trotting home. His ploy to confuse the Hazbeens as much as he confused his own team failed and he was thrown out at the plate.

The Hazbeens were an ideal team to play under the circumstances and hopefully the Dodgers will get a chance at a rematch in the playoffs with a full roster.

Wednesday's game was winded out and postponed until the 28th.
