Mattingly: L.A. Belongs To DodgersDespite the big offseason moves of the Angels, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly says that Los Angeles belongs to his team. "It's kind of like Mets-Yankees," said Mattingly, who spent his entire playing career with the Yankees. "The Yankees are the team. (The Mets) are going to have their years when they play well, but the Yankees are still the team. I don't want to badmouth the Angels at all. Mr. (Angels owner Arte) Moreno has done a great job down there in Anaheim, and (Angels manager) Mike (Scioscia) does a great job. But we're the Dodgers, and that isn't going to change."

We're not going to sit here and have a bar-top conversation." Ethier will be a free agent after the 2012 season. "I can't tell you anything about any of that," he said. "All I know is what's going to happen right now in front of me. I can't change anything from the past, I can't change anything that's going to happen in the future. I can change it by the way I play, but I can't do anything else. Today is today, that's all I can handle."
