So its April 20th and the Dodgers are a Major League best, 11-5, WITHOUT much of anything from Juan Pierre and Jason Schmidt. If you would have told me this in March I would have laughed at you. Of course we started this hot a couple of years ago and then went into the tank BIG TIME. Lets see where we are come May 20th.
Regardless, nice roadtrip and we come home to the Pirates. Anything less than a sweep will be a disappointment. Jim Tracy was a nice guy and a decent manager but there is no reason that LA should not kill PIT.
Wolf, Penny and Tomko have all pitched pretty well so I like our chances of expanding our lead on the division.
On a side note, Boston vs. New York for 3 games in Boston this weekend with Schilling, Beckett and Dice-K going in the 3 games. This should be quite a fun series to watch for any baseball fan. The Yanks are like a beer league softball team that can score 10 runs a game so as long as their pitcher isn't a total gas can, they can win any game. Now they will have to face 3 of the league's best pitchers so it will be very interesting to see the outcome. Of course if Manny does not start hitting, Boston will have a hard time producing enough runs to stay with NY. Looking forward to it though!
