Dodgers came home slept threw the day after traveling threw every known time zone in the us. The Dodgers instead of eating hotel food had a nice home cooked meal and headed out to the ballpark. Where they preceded to destroy the young Rookie Greg Reynolds as they produced six runs on seven hits in 5 innings as the young rookie fell to 0 and 3. Hoping to not being out dueled by a kid Derek Lowe pitched a very strong game returning to good form. Pitching 8 innings with 5 hits and 1 run only with proctor finishing up the 9^th.

Seeing Derek Lowe Return to a form unseen since his days in Boston brought a glimmer of hope for the rotation. Another thing unseen in a little while was run support brought on by Matt Kemp who lit the Los Angeles Sky on fire with 2 doubles and home run. Jeff Kent not to be shown up got into the home run action blasting one putting him ahead of Andruw Jones with his 370^th home run. Only one starter did not have a hit and surprise surprise it is Chin-lung Hu great glove not bat but a work horse. Filling the void left by Furcal and Kent (when he takes the day off) him and maza play partially well however there non existences of bats are a cause for concern.

It’s hard to call the dodgers losing streak over I hear people saying the Mets are fine now. I guess you have to beat up on a team lower then you to make you feel better. Which is exactly what the dodgers did tonight against the Rockies. The Rockies who have the worst road record in the league hate to leave there stadium despite it being a hitter ball park they’ll take the home runs over loses. A team that was in the World Series last year now given the fact they are plagued with injuries are still very bad. I told the world not to believe the hype that the Rockies were not what everyone thinks they are. I even wrote that in another blog before the year…of course I also picked the Royals to win the central.

Who cares a win is a win they’ll take it however they can this one was by pure force. Chad Billinglsey will take the mound tomorrow where he hopes to pitch another gem. The gem has a potential to turn to a piece of coal should the dodgers not be able to provide run support like in NY. Billinglsey who I can honestly say I never liked to the mound is very good. Now I never not liked him as a person but as pitcher last year I did not like him but now I’m coming around. He’s a strong young with a fastball of gold. However when he gets behind he tends to go to the fastball to often. Usually losing control and just throwing for speed which tends to get him in trouble.

But for now we and the dodgers soak up the glory that is a win. Sleeping a little easier yelling just a little lower and hitting just a little harder…
