So the regular season is over, and despite a tie-breaker that gave the division championship to the Padres, the Dodgers will be playing on into October. I think they have as good a chance as any in resent history, so let's hope they make the best of it. It's especially fun that we're playing the Mets also, because the only time I can remember the Dodgers winning the series, they had to win a big series against the heavily-favored Dwight Gooden/Darryl Strawberry Mets in 1988.

On a similar note, the Durham Dodgers have hit a rough spot and we've gone on a slide that has taken us far below the .500 mark. We play again tonight at 7:45, and if we can just string some hits together maybe we can right the ship.
