	I am upset by the sayings that the Dodgers won the NL West
only because it's the NL Worst. C'mon, the Dodgers are playing in a weak
division, but that does NOT mean they cannot beat the Mets nor the 
Cardinals. I can easily say the Mets and the Cards are closed to 100 wins
because they play 18 games against a team called Pittsburgh.
The Dodgers are 7-5 against both the Mets and the Cards
in the regular season, so what make you think they would be blown out 
by either team?

	May I refresh all the weak memories from the East? The Lakers
played in the weakest Pacific (Pathetic) Division last season, but
who beat the Celtics to win the NBA championship?
