Clayton Kershaw will oppose Cole Hamels of the Phillies tomorrow at Dodger Stadium. Kershaw proved himself to manager Joe Torre during the clincher against the Colorado Rockies. The main reason why Kershaw has been given these chances is the concussion and neck issues that Hiroki Kuroda has been suffering from since mid August. Meanwhile in Denver, GM Dan O'Dowd and manager Jim Tracy are looking for contracts for the 2010 season. Clint Hurdle was fired in late May and Tracy did an amazing job of leading the Rockies...
