Kuroda likely to rejoin Dodgers for LCS
options
 

It appears as if righthander Hideki Koruda will be added to the Dodgers' roster for the National League Championship Series.

Koruda was left off the Division Series roster after a small herniation of the cervical spine was found in his neck. Kurada had been struggling with neck pain at the end of the season.

He pitched in Arizona in front of manager Joe Torre and Torre indicated Kuroda could be ready for the LCS.

Torre did not announce a starting rotation during a media session tonight following the team's workout at Dodger Stadium.

Kuroda last pitched Sept. 28 in an 11-1 loss in which he allowed seven runs (three earned) in four innings.

He faced the Phillies once this season, allowing no runs and two hits over six innings in a no-decision in June.

After late-night starts and daytime weekday starts, the Phillies will face the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series with six of the potential seven games starting in prime time in the East.

TBS announced the complete schedule this afternoon. Chip Caray will handle play-by-play with analysts Ron Darling and Buck Martinez, and reporter Craig Sager.

Games 1 and 2 and 6 and 7, if necessary, are in Los Angeles. Games 3 and 4, and 5, if necessary, are in Philadelphia.

Game 1: Thursday, 8:07 p.m.

Game 2: Friday, 4:07 p.m.

Game 3: Sunday, 8:07 p.m.

Game 4: Monday,  8:07 p.m.

*Game 5: Wednesday, Oct. 21: 8:07 p.m.

*Game 6: Friday, Oct. 23, 8:07 p.m. 

*Game 7: Saturday, Oct. 24, 8:07 p.m.

    Finally, some decent start times for the defending world champions. I the previous starts were disrespectful to the team and not fair for its fans.

    I would rather chew tin foil and scrape my face with a cheese grater than listen to Chip Caray...TBS should have the local in market broadcasters do the games in each home game city...give me T-Mac and Sarge...send Wheels packing with Chip Caray

    Are those TBS announcers awful or what?! Chip Caray? I guess genetics don't help when it comes to announcers. Also, have you noticed that part of their "drama" includes keeping the viewer in the dark as to who's warming up in the bullpen?

    I know it all com,es down to money but TBS should never be allowed to bid again. Terrible announcers behind the plays slow on their color commentary. Almost zero insight in to the game cheap graphics the same amount of camera's as a Braves telecast. And hasving to switch between TNT and TBS. They suck. Next Versus will get the world series Stick to the major networks boys.

    Why not play the freakin Yanks at 6 eastern and the Phils at 9 eastern on Friday night. The next day is Saturday MLB, it doesn't take a rocket scientist.

    After the last series, I really don't understand why anyone is complaining about the LCS schedule. Go Phils!

    Can't believe TBS is doing this series too???? So who is second game started: Happ, Martinez or Blanton? Does Choly want a right hander after Cole or should he just pitch the best pitcher which would be Happ?
