Go Dodgers!

Nomo with his wicked split finger. Brown with is high speed fastball. Ishii with his curve. The bullpen of Moto, Shuey, Martin and Quantrill have been amazing. And of course, closer Gange has been lights out. Pitching is strong right now.

On offense, we really do need to see Green, Jordan and Beltre perk up.

Still got to watch out for the D'Backs... they aren't doing too bad even with Shilling and Johnson out. If they get back as strong as they have been in the past, it is going to again be a three way race.

Last year, the Dodger starters wore out by the end (Brown got hurt, Ishii got hit in the head, Ashby's blisters...) and certainly that is a fear again this year. Dreifort is already done for the season with surgery. You just worry one or more of the other starters will go down and because the Dodger offense is so anemic the margin for error is very small.
