The pushback series

This current home series against the Cincinnati Reds can be referred to as the pushback series. The Dodgers are trying (and successfully, so far) to push the Reds back in the Wild Card chase. Whoever is going to finish second in the National League West standings will benefit from whatever the Dodgers can produce against the Reds this week.

While I don't obviously think that LA will ever need these wins to clinch the Wild Card ('cause we're gonna win the pennant, baby!), it sure feels good to make some more room between the NL West teams and Cincy. Especially, if we could sweep the Reds tonight, plain and simple :).
