| Sports: Christensen Still Going Strong |
| Dodgers center fielder McKay Christensen had
another strong week last week, getting 6 hits in 17 at bats (.353) --
not quite the performance in two games the previous week, but still a
strong performance and an argument for keeping him on the team.
Meanwhile, starting pitchers Roy Halladay and Jason Johnson had good
outings last week, but ended up with no decisions after their teams
lost. And senior pro Bruce Summerhays tied for 6th place in the State
Farm Senior Classic, his third top-ten finish of the year. |
