Fred's Ramblings

Considering the Los Angeles Dodgers have many of their starters in a season long slump, they have managed to win 20 out of the 29 games played thus far. It doesn’t help that they have now lost series to some of the poorer teams on their schedule, i.e. Arizona, and Pittsburgh. Which leads me to believe that their pitching staff has kept them in the games. Not only have the starters done their job, but the often maligned bullpen has also stepped up and got the job done. The bullpen did not live up to their role in the last game of the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and it will be interesting to see if the recent injuries to the bullpen staff will play an important part down the road. We can also assume that the hitters will come alive and start to look like the World Series team they have been picked to be. Time will tell…it would be nice to see them playing for the World Series title in October…or is it November again this year?
