I agree its only the lowly giants, but the whole point of opening day is HAVING faith, if not for only one day. The D-Backs have a lot of potential in their lineup made of uber-prospects, but more questions at pitching (besides a solid 1-2, they let go a 30-40 save guy and their best hitter may be their #4 started in Micah Owings), where as the Rockies have a picture perfect lineup, but only one certainty in the rotation (Francis) and as proven in the world series. The Dodgers have proven durability in the rotation in Penny and Lowe, an Ace in waiting in Billingsly, an innings eater in Kuroda, and I don't even think about a win in the 5th spot so if we do its pure glory. Plus a 1-7 lineup that has the proven ability to score more runs than we did last year - which is what we really need to get us over that hump. Even the giants had faith until the 1st inning.

Yes pitching does win championships, but I don't know about the Dodger pitching staff. It's easy to be overjoyed about today's victory over the Giants, but we have to remember that it's the Giants.

I'm now more excited than ever for the pessimistic posts to come about the LA team, being reported on the LA blog. Pitching wins championships. Dodgers over Tigers in the World Series.

the last time joe torre started on a new team, they won the world series. the last time grady little left a team, that team won the world series. fuck the cubs and their 100 years. how about the dodgers and our 20 years. cub fans are fine being loveable-losers. it gives them something to talk about. dodger fans need another title.
