Keep your head up Joe Maddon.

The Dodgers showed they still have some life in them by beating the San Diego Padres 6-3 and move within 1 1/2 games of the NL wild card. David Wells beat his former team by outpitching Greg Maddux to improve to 3-0 since joining the Dodgers.
Nice pick up Ned Colletti. That is the type of move you have to make in order to keep your team's hopes alive for the postseason.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are next up for the Dodgers, and the Padres will play the Giants.
My Phillie Phanatic dream is still alive, as the Phillies won to keep up with the Dodgers and stay 1 1/2 games out of the wild card. They will face the New York Mets this weekend.

And I know I promised not to talk about the NL Central for a while, but I am breaking my promise: the Cubs won on the Brewers off day to give them a 1/2 game lead in the division.

And finally, guess what? The Yankees and Red Sox series if here! Tune to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN News, ESPN Classic for full coverage this weekend. They also bought out a time slot on the Food Network and will be showing a showdown between the Soup Kitchen International's clam chowder and the Christopher's Restaurant and Wine Bar's chowda'!
