Just a quick one, because it's late and the news is comin' in the mornin'

For those of you who figured the Blue were done winning for '07, shame on you for your lack of faith.  With their 8-3 victory over the Giants Friday night, the Dodgers not only gave themselves and their fans something to smile about, but ensured they'll finish the season no worse than a .500 team.  Small victories both (the latter not really constituting a victory, per se), but about the best that can be had now that the damage has been done.  The big news, other than James Loney's 15th home run of the season (giving him 32 RBIs in September and the fourth highest single month total in team history), was the performance of David Wells. 

Granted, as a society we've been saying this for about the last six or seven years now, but it's never been more true that Friday night could very well have been Boomer's last appearance on a big league mound.  And good for him, he went out a winner.  Six innings, three runs (two earned), and a scattered- when you win, they're scattered- seven hits.  Good enough for his ninth win of the season, and fourth as a Dodger.  Not surprisingly, Wells spoke at length to the media after it was done, and we'll try to get that to you this weekend. 

More on the game tomorrow.
