Former Dodgers announcer Vin Scully said thanks, but no thanks to a request by FOX to join Joe Buck in the broadcast booth for part of the game.

--To most people around the world, Paul Allen was the co-founder of software giant Microsoft. To sports fans, he was a benevolent owner of three professional sports franchises in the Pacific Northwest – the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers and as a part-owner of Major League Soccer's Seattle Sounders FC. Allen died Monday of complications from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which he announced had resurfaced two weeks ago after being successfully treated in 2009. He was 65.
