I’m confident, if not completely sure, that Ellis is the first catcher ever to get three assists in one inning on strikeouts that required throws to first.
- Via David Brown at Big League Stew, "Odd report: Stan Kasten, Ruben Amaro are candidates for commissioner." I do not want Stan to leave the team. I feel that he's one of the smartest executives in the game, and would prefer he remain Dodger Blue.

- Check out this scouting report on Erisbel Arruebarrena, via Chris Blessing at RotoScouting.com. He's got a great glove and plus bat speed; unfortunately, his swing needs some work.
- True to the Blue shares some pics and autographs he got from the Dodgers Old-Timers game a couple of weeks ago.
