Now that had to feel pretty good for the Boys in Blue. Sweeping San Francisco after the Giants had pushed them around all season. Going up by a season-high 6½ games.
They should feel good about it, just not too good. Not like their work is done, that the four-game series they’re about to start in San Diego on Thursday is just so much required work.
Right now the Dodgers are feeling very good about themselves, but they need to build on it, continue to push themselves, continue to develop that newfound swagger.
The absolute last thing they need to do is head to San Diego feeling so satisfied about their sweep of the Giants that they don’t give the Padres their proper due and get surprised by a San Diego ambush.
