WINNING UGLY, LOSING UGLY – WHO CARES?

Who the heck were those players wearing Dodger uniforms in the Rockies’ and D-backs’ series? Whoever they were, they certainly did not perform like a playoff caliber team. They struggled with pitching, struggled with hitting, and couldn’t play defense. My, my, my, that’s typically a recipe for baseball disaster!! Heaven forbid that team should have to play the mighty Padres in the playoffs. The Dodgers may as well go home now if that were to happen, as they would stand little, to no chance, for advancing past the vaunted Padres. Clearly the Padres have the better team! Don’t they? If I understood some of the comments last week, even though the Dodgers had, at the time, won 7 of the last 10 games they had played, even though they have the best record in baseball and have the greatest positive run differential of any team(apparently this statistic doesn’t mean much), they’re really not that good, or are classic under achievers. To some, the only reason they have any success is because they are playing inferior teams, they are lucky, and the opposition has routinely “given” the Dodgers their victories.
