No-No Means Nothing



A pretty amazing thing happened on Saturday night, as the Dodgers won a game without a single hit, beating the ANAHEIM Angels, 1-0. Matt Kemp reached first on an error, stole 2nd and continued to 3rd on a throwing error, then scored on a Blake DeWitt sacrifice fly. What makes it so amazing is that it's only the 5th time in 125 years that this has occurred! To me, this is one of the best things about baseball- on any given day, you may witness something that has never or rarely happened. Chad Billngsley (above) pitched a great game, and has been the most consistent Dodger pitcher the past month.

The Dodgers still stink, with no power and no run-scoring ability. But now that the D-Backs have collapsed, as i knew they would, we are only 2 1/2 out of first. I will be perfectly fine with sneaking into the playoffs with a crappy record.

I thought the acquisition of Andruw took care of the run scoring/power woes? Oh that's right, he is no longer on the juice, thus he is terrible. That division is terrible, remember when Arizona was going to win 150 games?

Funny... Maybe they need to have a few more no-hitters!!!
