Dodgers take control
The St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers tussled last night for the 2,002nd time in their histories. The two clubs have been squaring off in the National League since 1892, when the St. Louis team re-entered the circuit following a decade spent in the American Association. (1886 World Series Champions, you'll recall.) At various times, the Cardinals have been the Brown Stockings and the Perfectos; informally, the Browns, Swifties, El Birdos, and Redbirds. The Dodgers have been the Robins, Bridegrooms, Superbas; informally, the Trolley Dodgers and the Bums; and there's a rumor back east among sentimental middle-aged white men that they once called Brooklyn home rather than Southern California.
Dodgers centerfielder Matt Kemp helped the Dodgers take a commanding lead in the 117-year-old series last night with his 10th inning 2 run single in St. Louis. The Dodgers now lead all-time 994 to 992, with 16 ties thrown in. The Dodgers were fast out of the gate in the 19th Century, but since 1900, it's been all Cardinals-- 956-931.

The new season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" will feature a "Seinfeld" cast reunion.
