Who's yer daddy!?

I noticed that Sim was properly contrite this morning in discussing the Dodger-Padre series this weekend. I'm not sure what I can add to the discussion, but I'll resist the overwhelming temptation to gloat; it's only three games and the season is far too young to get crazy.

My wife and I were out of town part of the weekend so I, unlike Sim, missed the entirety of the series but what I caught on ESPN recaps and the morning box-scores. Two things stood out: First, two complete game--shutout!--victories from "suspect" pitchers, Derek Lowe and Jeff Weaver. Second, the Dodgers outscored the Friers 18-3 in this three-game sweep. Ouch.

There's still plenty of time for pitching arms to tire and bats to go quiet, but I must say this is the most heartening and exciting start to a Dodger season in 20+ years! I for one, am loving it!
