Wow! I was up at BOB this weekend to see the games and I cannot believe how quickly the fans have turned. I guess if you had to look at the same wreck of a team day after day, you would get pissed too, I guess. As a typical Dodger conspiracy theorist, this winning streak now means that the Dodger brass will think the team is fine they way they are and will decide to make no moves while the Giants trade for the 1927 Yankees and the Pads get the 75 Reds minus Joe Morgan because Mark Loretta is on fire. That and the fact that Joe Morgan spent five minutes on NATIONAL FRIGGIN' TV talking about how he never knew any MLB players by the name of Elmer. WHO CARES! Anyway, enough pessimism, I will let the latest article from dodgerblues.com say it all...
Dodgers sweep the DBacks
It was 108 degrees in Phoenix on Sunday, so you can't blame 29,000 people for paying $20 to sit in an air-conditioned building for three hours. Although the fact that you need air conditioning and an ice water I.V. to keep from dropping dead might suggest that humans weren't meant to inhabit that hell hole of a place. For Diamondback fans, the hell hole is getting bigger and bigger each day. For Dodger fans, it's a beautiful sight. Sunday, the Dodgers continued to beat up on the lowly D'Backs, knocking them off 10-3 and completing a 4-game sweep. The Dodgers shouldn't be too proud, though, as Arizona has baseball's worst record. It's like stealing a box of crayons from a retarded kid on the school yard and running away pumping your fist. The real test is when you steal crayons from the big dude who used to kick everyone's ass at handball. You know, the guy who had the moustache in 4th grade. Although come to think of it, that guy never used crayons. But we digress. The Dodgers got eight solid innings from Jose Lima on Sunday, and production from pretty much the entire lineup. Every starter had at least a hit, and Jayson Werth had four—one for every inch of that beastly goatee on his face. Not to be outdone, though, Cesar Izturis tripled and homered—the home run coming on a 10-pitch at-bat reminiscent of Alex Cora's marathon at-bat earlier this season. You've got to give it to the little guy: he's no longer inept with the bat. He still looks a lot like a monkey, but at least he can hit.
