West Coast Swing

The Bucs and Dodgers face off in LA tonight, with Ian Snell and Hong-Chih Kuo taking the mound. The Dodgers are in the thick of the NL West/Wild Card race being 1/2 game up on the Padres in the West (with the Pads having 1.5 on the Phillies in the Wild Card race). They got that lead in most improbable fashion, as I'm sure you know by know. Down by four in the bottom of the 9th last night, the Dodgers hit four consecutive solo homers to tie the game up, then got a walkoff from Nomar Garciaparra to win in the bottom of the 10th. That's just plain crazy.
