Welcome to the Road trip Round up, where we’ll be breaking down the high and low points of the Dodgers’ recent road trip, which featured two 3-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Dodgers began the road trip with a two-game lead and fly home tonight with a three-game lead over the hated Giants, so if I were the kind of Dodger fan who only viewed things through blue-colored sunglasses, I might be tempted to call the trip a success – but I’m not that guy.
The truth of it is, after taking two games from the Phillies, the Boys in Blue proceeded to be painfully swept by the Pirates, giving ammunition to the “Fire Mattingly” and “The Dodgers can’t beat the tough teams” camps.
