Re: Dodgers continue to surprise with Beltre 9th inning shot
7/24/04, 7:01pm

    Before the season began, I took a lot of heat for my prediction of the Dodgers winning at least 85 games by the end of the season with a second place finish behind the D-Backs (gee, what happened to those guys?).        
 Back in April, I felt that the Dodgers were better on paper than they were last year.  Despite the loss of Kevin Brown, they still had some of the best pitching in the league with Eric "Game Over" Gagne closing out their games.  They also had Shawn Green and Milton Bradley to carry their offense along with the speed of Dave Roberts on the basepaths.  While I was thrilled when the Fox people sold the team, I was pissed off that the Blue Crew didn't acquire Aaron Boone to play third base, which meant another underachieving year for Adrian Beltre.  Now, the Dodgers are in contention for the N.L. Pennant and Beltre could end up being the M.V.P.

GIVE IT UP FOR THE AZUL!!!!!!!!!!
