If Ford can pardon Nixon...

alt Another sweep, more players on the DL, a possible trade for Scott Rolen... hey, a pardon for Pete Rose!

Well, not yet, but Commissioner Bud Selig is said to be seriously considering erasing all the admitted wrongdoings of Mr. Rose.

That was the last nail in the coffin that was the Cincinnati Reds’ three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Manny’s slam on Wednesday night sealed a 6-2 victory and stretched the Dodgers home winning streak against the Reds to 11. Bronson Arroyo loaded the bases in the bottom of the 6th inning, and with his pitch count up to 100, Dusty Baker decided to pull the plug and replace him with Nick Masset. With one out, the hope was to induce a grounder for a double play. That did not happen. One pitch later, it was over. Dodgers fans could officially leave the park early and beat the traffic.
