Except that the article isn’t a wild assertion.
With a record of 20-8, the Dodgers at that point had an 80.3% chance of winning the division.

They’re too busy gloating over Jason Kubel.

And…. once again, Dave Cameron was right, and all his detractors are lining up to concede and apologize. Right?

Right?

Okay re-hash time.

Rockies have a 25% chance now. Not like it matters, outside of first round home field.

So um…
LA 71-50
COL 67-53
SF 66-55

Since the ASB:
LA: 148 RS, 134 RA
COL: 165 RS, 124 RA
SF: 114 RS, 119 RA

So I doubt SF catches up (I throw them in because they still have an okay shot at the WC if the Rockies don’t keep rolling), but if we can say for LA and COL that this is their “true” level of play for the rest of the season, then COL goes around 26-16 the rest of the way, and LA goes around 22-19. So yeah, looks like the NL West race isn’t over.

Probably doesn’t matter though since LA and Colorado both look healthy for the postseason imo.

Still over? Tell me when this gets back on, because it seems like it might be a good show to watch.

The amusing thing is that I still think the division race is over. The Dodgers can stay afloat for 50 games without Manny. Like Dave said, they only need to go .500 and they’ll win 87 games. You don’t think that this team can go .500 without Manny in that atrocious division? Not to mention that when Manny gets back there’ll still be about half the season left…

Maybe it’s not so hugely obvious as it was before, but I still think the Dodgers pretty much have the NL West wrapped up.

That Dave Cameron sure is an egg-sucker. And also thin-skinned. Perhaps uniformly ugly, too? Regardless, he is rash and over-reactive. Good jinxing, egg-sucker!

“Things could go wrong.”

Never has an opinion piece contained a more ominous hedge.
