edit... he looked really good in a huge situation

Hey I'm happy- I have Jansen on my fantasy team and I needed the save :)

Ha!

Big sigh of relief. Still have to win at least one more of the next two and hard to feel good unless Dodgers can take both. Tall order, but slightly less daunting if Jansen's got things working.

Yeah I think if he had blown that save and they lost, that division would have been close to over. I mean, Arizona would have been 3 up with 27 to go. If Arizona had been able to go just 14-13 the rest of the season, LA would have needed to go 18-9 to beat them by just 1 game. And mentally Jansen blowing that save would have been devastating given how they got the lead...

One thing I'm amazed at that I heard tonight. The 10 game road trip for the Dodgers coming up is their longest of the season.

And like I said earlier- I really think Lovullo blew this tonight. Why did they have Greinke start the 8th? Especially given they had a guy on 1st with 1 out when he comes to bat in the 7th.
