Thank God for the crappiness of the Washington Nationals. The Dodgers' 8 game losing streak came to a quick end this weened when they swept a 3 game series with the Nats. Everything is suddenly looking a little brighter for the Dodgers. J.D. Drew seems to have his power back, Danys Baez is out of LA, and we have a little momentum. Of course this brief course of winning has made Ned Colletti somehow think that we're still in this thing. Let's hope he doesn't trade away the whole farm to get an over-the-hill guy like Greg Maddux. And oh yeah, Nomar's hurt again. Big surprise. Now the Reds come to town, and the Dodgers have a chance to gain some ground in the Wild-Card. Bronson Arroyo will go in the first game for the Cincinnati, with a 20% chance he shows up sober enough to pitch.
