Worst case scenario is we win 2 of 3 from the Mets and the Yankees sweep these pathetic Braves and pick up a game on us.
I like your Dodgers and remember, anything can happen if you make the playoffs. EVerybody starts out 0-0. So be grateful you play in the piggy NL West. Its like the gerbil tank of baseball. Be glad you dont have to compete in the AL East with 3 real teams (Blue Jays, Yankees and Red Sox) or the AL Central (Tigers, White Sox and Twins).

Gander, I really like the matchups for the Sox this week. I doubt they will sweep the Mets, but two of three is certainly within range. They will be patient with Glavine and Pedro, work them, and see what comes out. Glavine and Pedro havent been challenged by patient teams much this year, especially playing in the hack NL East. I think tomorrow's game with Lester going is a toss up because our bullpen will be taxed from today.
