Let me first start off by pointing out that I am huge supporter and fan of The Los Angeles Dodgers, but I think there simply needs to be some acknowledgment of just how great of a franchise The Dodgers have turned themselves into and still maintain the best record in the National League despite the Manny Ramirez suspension, and their pitcher, Hiroki Kuroda, being beamed in the face by a line drive, just as he had battled back from an oblique strain which sidelined him for two months. Granted the Giants have some quality pitching, but that lineup is a joke offensively. I hate to burst the bubble of any Giants fans out there, but this team is not going to catch the Dodgers and is unlikely to even get the wild card spot. Face it, this season was a good run, as many experts didn't even expect The Giants to finish the season with a .500 record. The Giants are lacking two power bats in their lineup to be considered serious competition, but in the off season, maybe they will acquire someone to fill that void, until then, a post season birth is highly unlikely. Well...theres always next year right? The Dodgers record against their own division is 36-17 which is the best record in the Majors. Stats do not lie and that equates to ownage.
