A surprising factoid...

As I write this, the Colorado Rockies lead the National League in ERA (4.08). They have also allowed the fewest runs in the NL.

Losses in the last two games aside, the Dodgers have kicked major butt ever since their horrible showing right after the All-Star break. We propelled ourselves to first place, where we'll hopefully stay. (It's also worth noting that our run differential has been among the best in the league the entire year, so our immediate future looks bright. Where are my shades? I gotta' wear them.)

In a final baseball note for now, it may surprise some people that David Ortiz does not currently have the best offensive stats in the American League. That honor belongs to the incredibly awesome Travis Hafner, who was gypped of a spot on the All-Star team this year.
