MCH Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Again, I "somewhat" agree with that. The only reason Arizona is in the lead, is because their young guys have been outperforming our young guys. But now, our young guys have been stepping it up. Kemp is hot, Loney is coming around and Martin is being Martin. With the addition of Ramirez, we're the favorites in the West. We'll know more once we play a few teams like the Cardinals and the Cubs, but the Dodgers have a shot at winning their first playoff series in 10+ years.

More over, I'll somewhatly agree with your somewhat agreement. The Dbacks have legit starters, that's why they're in the lead. Kershaw looks as advertised, but I wouldnt' count on a rookie down the stretch. Is Penny back yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said he felt fine and was hitting 96 on the radar. With a rotation of Billinglsey, Lowe, Penny, Kuroda and Kershaw we should cruise the rest of the year. Bills/Webb and Lowe/Haren favor Arizona but you match our #3's and #4's up with theirs and I believe we win the overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yeah, that's a solid rotation but I'm not a big fan of Kuroda. Penny's coming off an injury and Kershaw is a rook. I think that can work against them. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that can work against them. We'll see. Kuroda's hit or miss. He'll come out and pitch 2 hit ball one day and then give up 5 runs in the first inning the next. Kershaw is the real deal. The boy is solid. He'd have 4 W's already if our offense would've showed up on the days he pitched. Honestly?? I'm excited. With Manny swinging a hot bat, the whole team seems energized. Did you see the "bat rubbing" episode yesterday?? Classic stuff......stuff that playoff runs are made of.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic stuff......stuff that playoff runs are made of.:D Kemp's hot too like you said. He played a big roll in my victory this week.:D But no, didn't see it, what happened? btw- best thing about the Dodgers is Vin Scully (spelling??). Love that guy's voice.

Love Scully....plus Kemp being hot made the loss a little easier to take.:D As for the "bat rubbing", it was in the late innings of the ball game. Manny was like 3 for 4 with a 436 ft HR and 3 RBI's and he's in the dugout holding his bat. Well, Kemp is in the hole standing with his bat and he reaches his bat over and starts rubbing on Manny's bat. You know, kind of joking around saying, "Give me some of that luck you got going on.". Well, he gets up to bat that inning and knocks it out of the park. Everyone in the dugout is just rolling.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
