Welllll. . .although I have to agree that Guerrero deserves to be in the
running for the MVP, I wouldn't say that he has single-handedly carried the
Dodgers.  After all, the Dodger pitching staff has the best ERA in the major
leagues (which is saying a lot considering the 1985 Cardinals are ALSO in the
major leagues!) and the Dodgers have been among the top three teams in batting
average in the NL for the past month or two.  Now, I don't want to get
involved in the discussion about statistics that's been going on in this
newsgroup, but it's JUST MY OPINION that the Dodgers aren't a one-man team.
By the way, are they making fewer errors now per game than they were at the
start of the season, or is it just my imagination?
