Man I hope Billingsley can keep rolling.

BTW, I just realized that Bills has more wins as a Dodger than Honeycutt does, and he did it in less than half the games.

Those who can't, coach.

Kevin Brown started out 10-0 or 10-1 cant really remember.

I was wondering how long it's been since the Dodgers were 11 games over .500 - to my surprise it wasn't that long ago.

"The Dodgers now have the best record in baseball at 19-8, their best start to this point since 1983, the largest current lead in baseball at 5 1/2 games, the organization's largest lead since 2004 and they are 11 games above .500 for the first time since 2007. "

This part of the article was a bit of a stretch: "The only disclaimer: The Dodgers haven't played a team that currently has a record above .500. Not a one. That includes a stunning 18-6 record against the NL West and 3-1 against Arizona. "

Part of the reason no team that's played the Dodgers has a current record above .500 is because -- they've all played the Dodgers! The Dodgers have only played THREE games against non-division teams so far.

They're gonna need to do something about the pitching staff though once we do start playing playoff caliber teams. So, Pedro. Just ****in do it.

Also, not sure what his deal is injury-wise at the moment, but Ben Sheets is also a free agent.

He was about to sign with the Rangers but then he needed elbow surgery. I believe he is rehabbing now.

Let the reliever throw the first two-and-a-third, then bring in Weaver. He always sucked out loud in the first two innings anyhow.

Hope he's able to keep the sexy home winning streak going, though.

nice outing by Weaver, just what the Dodgers needed.
