Quote of the Day
"After the game yesterday, Donnie (Sutton) was bragging a little bit about how well he pitched. I just needed to remind him that there are other pitchers on this staff as well. Maybe not as tanned as he is, but still pretty damned good. I am just a little upset that Tommy (manager Tommy Lasorda) wouldn't let me go out for the ninth. I was ready to go." - Los Angeles pitcher Doug Rau.
