The triumph of hope over reason

Being a Dodger fan the last few years has been really tough. The team has good pitching but in an offense minded era the Dodgers seem to always fall short as the season winds down and the pitching staff wears out. With a little over a month to go in the season, Dodger faithful are still holding out hope that they will make the playoffs as a wildcard. We are heartened that Adrian Beltre's bat is getting hot and though Shawn Green's power numbers are down, he is making now making more contact and getting RBIs. We hope that Burnitz and Ventura will give us some left handed offense to perk things up.


This year, I've gone to six games seeing them win three and lose three which is about right as the team is playing slightly above .500 ball. I hope to make it out there for another game or two.


Nomo and Brown have been pitching pretty well. Perez seems to be getting better lately. Ishii is still out with knee trouble but his fill-ins have been doing not too bad. And the bullpen continues to be amazing.


Go Dodgers!
