They’re battered and bruised, bloody and staggering, and right now I can hear them screaming above the din:
“Adrian! Adrian!”
No matter how wobbly and beaten, sometimes a team just needs a big hug. Or at least their starting first baseman back.
Adrian Gonzalez, who’s never been confused with Talia Shire, has been out the last two days with a lower back issue. That the Dodgers lost both games is not entirely coincidental.
He is scheduled to return for Monday’s four-game series opener against the Giants, and make no mistake, the Dodgers badly need him.
