Deck the Cards

What a tremendous series that was this weekend. Disappointing as it was to lose that last game, I think the Dodgers made a major statement against the best team in baseball this season, even if that team was without one of its league MVP candidates. The Dodgers came from behind in all three games, winning two of them (although the Cardinals tried their hardest to let LA win on Saturday, dropping balls and hitting batters and missing bases.)

The Giants are still six back in the loss column, but the Braves moved one game ahead. On top of that, the Dodgers are finally getting some good news on the Brad Penny front. We might see some action out of our designated playoff stopper before the end of the season after all.

The wild-card battling Padres are next up. Is three out of four to much to ask?
