KempTonight, the Dodgers will start a new series after a day off. They are seven games below .500, six games behind the D’bags and Jints in last place, and looking up. No place else to go, right?

The good news? The Marlins are (statistically) worse than we are. So maybe we can make a little headway over this weekend. (I’ll miss Mother’s Day at the stadium. It’s been a tradition for quite some time, and the only day I can get Zach out to the ballpark with me.)

ImageWhile his boss, Stan Kasten, was on the pregame show saying, “We’re just off to a slow start,” (Ya think?) Matt Kemp was keeping things in perspective.

Learning that there was a young Dodger fan in the San Francisco audience who was dying of cancer, Matt went over after the game and met the kid, taking the jersey off his back and the shoes off his feet and giving them to him.

Even after having been swept by the Giants, Matt said, “Some people have to face much worse in their lives.”
