UCLA Bruins: A Cross-Town Option for Your Baseball Jones

UCLA's baseball team kicks off NCAA Tournament play Friday. The Bruins finished second in the College World series in 2010.

Maybe you’re feeling a little ambivalent about the Dodgers these days.  There’s the McCourt mishegas, the Bryan Stowe incident and the simple fact that the Dodgers are languishing in the cellar of the National League West.

Well, here’s a cross-town option that may fit the bill. 

The UCLA Bruins.

The Pac-10 champions (33-22) enter the first round of the NCAA playoffs this weekend.

They’ll play up to four games at their own Jackie Robinson Stadium in Westwood, depending how the four-team, double-elimination goes.  And, if all goes well, they’ll move on to the Super Regionals and the College World Series in Omaha.
