Sweep?

We swept the Astros!  We AREN'T the worst team after all!

Between a heavy workload, family obligations, and- if I'm being honest here- Dragon Age 2 on the PS3, there hasn't been much time for updates in the last week.  At least some of that will change in the next week or so, seeing as how I've almost finished defeating the Tevinter Imperium.  Damn video games.

So what have we missed?  Well, the Dodgers were swept by the Phillies, and then responded by sweeping the Astros.  Neither of those things should be surprising- the Phillies are the best team in the NL, by a wide margin, and the Astros are by far the worst.  Seriously, they're awful.  32 games out of first in a solid but not great division.  Their winning percentage is lower than Matt Kemp's batting average.  So while it was nice to see the Dodgers reel off three straight wins (including one for Hiroki Kuroda, hopefully saving him from being the unluckiest pitcher in Dodger history), don't read too much into it.  I'm fairly certain that the Chattanooga Lookouts could take 2 of 3 from Houston at this point.

Tonight marks the start of a 10 games in 10 days road trip, with stops in Milwaukee, Colorado (the battle for third place begins!) and St. Louis.  Randy Wolf & Ted Lilly face off in Game 1, which should be fun for anyone not named Ted Lilly or Randy Wolf.
