Dodgers-Giants Recap

The Dodgers managed to take 2 out of 3 from the Giants, falling to the mighty Barry Zero and then coming back today and jumping all over Matt Cain. Baseball makes no sense sometimes. Actually, most of the time. Few notes from the Dodger games:

• Batting Matt Kemp lead-off is effective: he reached 6 times (2 steals) and looks more selective at the plate.
• Saito is not a shut-down closer anymore.
• Hung Chih-Kuo is flat out dirty.
• Giant fans will take any excuse they can get to chant "BEAT LA".
• B Zito is not quite dead yet.
• Furcal is never, ever, ever going to play again.
• Nomar scares me at short.
• I'm not scared of the Padres, Rockies or Giants at this point and only like 61% scared of the D-Backs.
• 1/2-game back, baby.
