Gander,as far as who wins the NL West goes,it makes a big difference.The Dodgers can't hit good pitching on the road.That is exactly why they struggle against St.Louis.They were competitive in 3 out of the 4 games AGAINST THE METS a couple weeks ago(and took 2 out of the 4 games.)They would have a chance against the Mets,but virtually no shot against the Cards.Dodgers bullpen is struggling (middle relief) now.Tomko has blown games in 4 of the last 5 games that Grady has been dumb enough to use him in.Tomko got into trouble Monday Night against the Padres,and made decent pitches to get out of it.Should have gone out on a high note,and retired that night.The guy is a joke.BTW,the Padres are too good to miss the post.Phils or Dodgers will stay home.I am going to the stadium tonight.Hope Maddux can stop a carefree Pirates team.
