Seriously, what is the deal with Blogger? I haven’t been able to upload a pic for the past three days. Who reads blog posts without any photos? Nobody, that’s who. Anyway, The Dodgers swept the visiting Reds earlier this week thanks to some solid pitching from Kuroda and Billingsley (who is starting to resemble the pitcher that we all hoped he would become–3-1 for the month with a BAA of just over .200) and a Reds defense that left a lot to be desired.
Thanks to the Marlins handing Brandon Webb his first loss of the season last night, the Dodgers climbed to within three games of the front running Snakes and welcome the Cardinals into town tomorrow night for a three game set. Also, speaking of the Cards, if you missed Pujols’ line drive off of Chris Young’s face from last night’s game, MLB.com has all the bloody details and video here. Classy move by Pujols and A Gonz to stop for a moment of prayer after the ball knocked Young to the ground (and subsequently out of the game).
