Dodgers open at home today *

Jamie McCourt will be staying away from Dodger Stadium today, though she claims to be part owner. David Kipen has a fun Op-Ed piece on the origins of the interlaced LA logo the Dodgers have used since 1958. The team is 2-4 on the season with eight errors so far and isn't scaring anybody, except perhaps the manager.

And, in honor of Opening Day, here's L.A's own Batting Stance Guy, cracking up Manny Ramirez with a display of "the least marketable skill in America."


* Home cooking: The Dodgers won 9-5, getting home runs from Manny, Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp and Casey Blake. Clayton Kershaw started and walked five more batters but hung around into the sixth inning and got the win.
