Matt Kemp Has Crazy April, May Begins with New Dodgers Owner

Today's edition of TDB's podcast talks about the history that Matt Kemp and the Dodgers got off to in the first month of the 2012 season. The Guggenheim Baseball Management group were officially announced as the new owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers this morning, thus ending the Frank McCourt era. While his name is likely to be synonymous with baseball fodder for the rest of time, it's a pleasant realization that his circus of a life will no longer prevent the focus of media from being on the Dodgers as a team.



Today's game with the Colorado Rockies is the second of a three-game series and six-game road trip with the Rockies and Cubs. The Dodgers look to make up for last night's 7th inning failure with the bases loaded and zero outs, and even the series in the hitter friendly confines of Coors field. Conversely the Dodgers hope that fly-ball-out veteran, Ted Lilly, can continue the fantastic start to his second season as as Dodgers starter. Mattingly has to be hoping that James Loney can start to tap into whatever has led to his career success at Colorado because another 2-run output by the Dodgers certainly won't win a game for a Lilly-led ball club.

Tonight's start is set for 5:40 PM PT.

Cheers.
