Because them winning a game at least means that the Padres doesn't go three up on them.<BR/><BR/>I don't have any hopes of them actually winning the series!<BR/><BR/>As for picking a game they might win, that is very hard. Today's game might have been a slim possibility, but with the Dodgers flying into San Diego very late and with the team's habit of just mailing in performances after a bad travel day ( see day game earlier this year against the Padres, for instance ) that hope is out the window. Not to mention that Schmidt is so very much a complete unknown, coming off injury.<BR/><BR/>The middle game, against Maddux, may be the best hope. If Maddux has one of those games where every hit seems to fall in and he bleeds off 5 runs just like that, usually on singles ( and boy, do we have the single-hitting lineup or what ) we could pull that game out.<BR/><BR/>The game against Peavy? Just chalk it up to a loss already, and be glad that we get to save our two best guys, Penny and Lowe, for the next series.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe Kuo will be lights-out and the team gets a run or two it can make stand up, and we scamper out of San Diego giddy with a pinched series win or series sweep. That's the beauty of baseball, the 3-0, 2-1, 1-2 and 0-3 possibilities are not and cannot be determined ahead of time.<BR/><BR/>Dodgers, let's go. And let's not get swept.Griffsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17649213121101944676noreply@blogger.com
