1) The first five hitters in the lineup each got one hit, two of them homers, and as a group drove in three of the team's four runs.
2) The bullpen didn't allow a single run in three innings.
3) Wilson Betemit. He'd be starting on any other team in the NL.
4) Matt Diaz. Soft contacts are one of the greatest inventions of the late 20th century.
5) Brain McCann. Need I say more?
I would list more, but I didn't watch the whole game. In fact, I went to bed after the grounds crew covered the tarp. They don't get to do that very often in L.A., so I was kind of expecting some impromptu slapstick entertainment. Where's Vince Coleman when you need him?
