Let's Have Fun At The Old Swimming Hole
I think too much has been made of the Dodgers celebration at Arizona when they clinched the National League West last year. The Dodgers had their first series at Arizona this year and that is all you heard from the media and from the Diamondbacks' players was about the Dodgers celebration. I have great respect for Diamondbacks Manager Kirk Gibson and he has a special place in Dodgers history for he competitive nature and his desire to win. That might be why I enjoy watching the Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks more than I do the San Francisco Giants now. The Dodgers pulled off a three game sweeep of the Diamondbacks last weekend 6-0, 8-6, and 8-5 due in large part to the bat of Adrian Gonzalez and Matt Kemp even had a two homer game thrown in. Infielder Dee Gordon also had 4 steals in one of the games. I never saw any history on that but I would have to believe the Dodgers have not had anyone do that since Dave Lopes in the 1970's.
