Welcome Back ... Again!

Temporarily lost my domain name, had to retool and rethink. Now I'm back and I'm happy to say I'm as wrong as ever. As the Smoke and Mirrors Tour wraps up its 12th week, the Dodgers continue to have the best record in baseball, finding themselves 22 games over .500 and leading the now MIGHTY NL West by 8 games. Yes, the "mighty" NL West. Comprised of the Giants, who are, at present, the NL Wild Card team and the seething hot Rockies who are only a game and a half behind the San Francisco treat, the NL West is no lobger the push over division in baseball. True, the deadbeat Dads and the underachieving serpents of the desert fill out the division, but those three teams are among the best in the National League. How the Mountains are doing it, I have no idea, but they're doing it.

With Manny coming back any minute and the Dodgers looking for that extra starting pitcher (PLEASE let it be Cliff Lee and not Jarrod Washburn) and Andre Ethier coming off a 3 HR game last night, it seems as if they haven't missed a beat. Yet, they have very little hitting and are leading the Majors in team ERA at 3.63 with what I feel is evry weak pitching. They've yet to lose 3 in a row this year and they continue to fly high, in spite of some obvious weaknesses. I could specify those weaknesses again for you tonight, but why bother? They're a team that wins. So, in essence, what the hell do I know?
