There was a power surge in Los Angeles last night against the Atlanta Braves and in came in the form of three homeruns in the eighth inning of a 6-3 win. Andre Ethier, Alex Guerrero, and Jimmy Rollins all hit one out to bring the Dodgers back from a 2-1 deficit in the 7th inning. The Dodgers had only scored 9 runs in their previous 8 games.
The Dodgers versus the Braves takes on a special significance for me because I live in Braves country. It was real bad for me when the Braves were going to all of those World Series in the 1990's. I never heard the end of it. It was just as bad when they were National League West rivals. The Braves had some great teams in the 1990's but only won one World Series during that time. I got to refer to them as the "Buffalo Bills of baseball." That is a title that they still retain.
