Projected by most teams as a pitcher when the Dodgers drafted him out of high school, James Loney has always joked about his desire to step on a major league mound. "I thought about it a little bit," Loney said. The Dodgers exhausted seven relievers on Thursday, including knuckleballer Charlie Haeger, who is scheduled to start against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. The only reliever who didn't pitch was Jeff Weaver and that was because he unavailable after having appeared in six of the previous seven games. Manager Joe Torre said that had the Dodgers tied the score in the 11th inning and sent it into the 12th, he would have surveyed the position players to see if any of them would volunteer to pitch.
