Dodgers on Top

For the second day in a row, the Dodgers score seven runs as they down the Diamondbacks 7-2. While Ethier starred Friday night, Manny Ramirez showed why the Dodgers traded for him as he homered and doubled, driving in five of the team's runs.

Chad Billingsley continued his great pitching down the stretch, shutting out Arizona for 6 1/3 innings, striking out nine. He lowers his ERA to 3.02. Maybe some of us should start taking a look at him as a Cy Young candidate.

Webb gives up all seven runs for his third poor start in a row. With Webb, Haren and Johnson in trouble, Zambrano and Harden not particularly healthy, and Ben Sheets iffy, could the Dodgers and the Mets be the teams that emerge with the the best pitching in the NL playoffs? Fox would love to see a Mets/Dodgers LCS, and Manny against the Red Sox would bring a lot of eyeballs to the World Series.
