Who Needs Singles?

The Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves last night 6-2 on 4 hits, all of them homeruns. Hanley Ramirez hit 2 and James Loney and Luis Cruz hit the others. In the top of the second the Dodgers hit back-to-back-to-back homeruns. All of these homeruns came off Braves starter Ben Sheets who is having an excellent comeback season. Beating the Braves is always a big deal for me. I live on the fringe of Atlanta Braves territory and the Braves are constantly thrown in my face. I refer to them as the "Buffalo Bills of baseball" for their inability to win the World Series in spite of having the best team in baseball for much of the early 1990's. The Dodgers blew one on Friday night and I need them to finish out the three game series strong this afternoon.
