Russell Martin dropped to sixth in batting order
Los Angeles Times Staff WriterRussell Martin wasn't hitting when he batted in front of Manny Ramirez, and moving up a spot into the No. 2-hole didn't change anything, so Dodgers Manager Joe Torre moved his All-Star catcher into the sixth spot in the lineup Saturday. But that didn't...Tags: Baseball, Nomar Garciaparra, San Francisco Giants, Manny Ramirez, Russell Martin

Ned Colletti, Dodgers won't pay the price on this one

Ned Colletti's rope seems to be getting shorter
This could be Ned Colletti's last trade as the Dodgers' general manager.

Letters: Everyone needed a break
Manager Joe Torre's record for the first half of the season is a mixed bag.
