Chad and Casey do America

We all know about the Lakers big W last night, so I'll only say a few things. First, we really have got to stop relying on the 3 point shot. Second, all 5 Lakers have to crash the defensive boards, especially in the fourth quarter. Lastly, great win.

Now for "the other" LA team. We now know why Billingsley has such thick legs--he's been carrying the Dodgers pitching staff on his back all year. This dude is a meast (man beast). After struggling to get through the first 3 innings last night, he finally settled down and got the win. The dude is not getting nearly the recognition he deserves. He's been overshadowed, and rightfully so, by Zack Greinke of Kansas City. However, his numbers are pretty staggering. He leads the NL in wins, has 63 Ks in 61 innings, and is sporting a 2.51 ERA. We've watched him transform from a baby-faced, thick-bottomed, middle of the rotation guy, to a potential all-star starter. I would really, really love to see C.C. Sabathia and Thick Billingsley kick box.

There's no debate that the Doggies are the NL's best team thus far. They've won series' against Philly, Florida and NY in the past week, PWNing the NL East. At this point haters can stop attributing our fast start to a weak schedule-- we're very, very good. Tonight, DreamWeaver gets the call as the Dodgers go for a sweep of the mighty metropolitans.

On another note, Manny looks terrific for a man in his second trimester.
