Dodgers Make Late Leap


Up until the 8th inning of tonight's game the Dodgers were beating the same dead horse, and little of anything else. Literally GIDP'ing themselves out of the game the Bums appeared to finally realize that Colorado may never lose again, and promptly shifted into high gear scoring four runs in the 8th frame on their way to victory. Sure a throwing error and an infield grounder contributed to the cause, but when your offense isn't firing on all cylinders you have to take advantage of what you're given. The Dodgers certainly did.

An infield grounder and an error (even if the AZ scorekeeper wants to pretend Buckner got a hit) helped the D-Backs, so why shouldn't we use it too? Fairness I say, fairness!
