Juan Uribe manages Dodgers for a day
Juan Uribe put on a pair of aviator sunglasses in order to look more like a boss than he already does. He also changed jerseys — going from Don Mattingly's No. 8 to Tommy Lasorda's No. 2 — to complete his look as skipper for a day. He even made real pitching changes. It might have seemed like a farce, but the Los Angeles Dodgers were being earnest (if not serious) by putting Uribe in charge and having Cy Young contender Clayton Kershaw act as pitching coach. It all worked out, too, as the Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 10-5 at Dodger Stadium on Sunday in the regular-season finale . The Dodgers start the playoffs Friday. The Rockies finished a mostly forgettable season 66-96. The record book (probably) will list Mattingly as the manager for Game 162, but if he was, he was in the wings pulling the strings.
