Show's pretty much in a holding pattern right now. I'm in need of promos and matches from several people and can't do a thing without 'em. If I can't get the show finished today, we're probably looking at Thursday as the next possible release date... but the Dodgers play Game 1 that day too so...

Really would like as much stuff in today as possible!

How in the world are the Dodgers 12-15 this month? They're very streaky. Kershaw and Grienke in a short series would normally be a death knell for an opposing team in the playoffs, and I think you'll get past Atlanta, but St. Louis will be tough.

If they get to the World Series and play the A's, I'll have a ticket ready for you in Oakland. In exchange for Dufresne being the Eternal AWA World Champ, of course.

Injuries mount. The streak came when they were playing with a full squad minus Kemp. Then they get Kemp back but they've had injuries to Hanley, Ethier, and Puig among others this month. The last couple weeks you can chalk up to them choosing to rest starters a lot and to try and heal those injuries.

If Ethier can't play in the first round too, I'm concerned. Kershaw and Greinke give them a shot to win the first two... but looking at a lineup with Schumaker in CF over Kemp is nerve-racking. If it was Ethier, I'd be stoked and ready to go. But one slugger can make a big difference in a short series, I think. They've been having trouble putting runs on the board for September. They may need to create runs - get 'em on, move 'em over, get 'em in style, instead of playing for the big innings by swinging big on every at-bat.

I was actually more concerned about Atlanta than St. Louis but... well, we'll see, I guess.

A few things left to come in. I'm still guessing Thursday since I'm not expecting the rest of the stuff tonight and I'll be out tomorrow night.
