A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #3....led by 2011 NL MVP Runner-Up and Rihanna's EX....CF Matt KEMP and RF Andre ETHIER.....the BOYS in BLUE are at the Top in the SHOW

CHAVEZ RAVINE and its Tenants have that look again like they want to be part of something special. Right out the gate at 6-1 (3-0 in Chavez and 3-1 Away from Chavez)..the BOYS in BLUE..the L.A. DODGERS have their mojo back and its not like they don't have talent in doing so.

2011 NL MVP Runner-Up CF Matt KEMP (who inked a 8 yr/$160 Million deal before the 2011 MLB Winter Meetings ) is leading the way once again and he has a host of players following his lead in RF Andre ETHIER, 1B James LONEY, and Left-Handed Ace Clayton KERSHAW.  The DODGERS have plenty of veteran leadership in Journeymen like 3B Juan URIBE, Utility IF/OF Jerry HAIRSTON Jr., Utility IF Adam KENNEDY, and RHP Aaron HARANG.

Led by Skip "Donny Baseball"...Don MATTINGLY and Pitching Coach and former Dodger Great Davey LOPES, 3B and Expos Great...Coach Tim WALLACH...DODGER TOWN USA has never looked better.

KEMP and ETHIER have combined for 4 bombs, 19 ribbies, 11 runs, and 4 Two-Baggers in just 7 games as well as a combined .360 plus Batting Average. Then you put all that speed and fundamental baseball with some pop....you have a team that can methodically wear your staff down and get to your pen early and do lot of damage.

RHP Billingsley is out the gate with a vengeance after an injury plagued season a year ago at 2-0 with a stingy 0.63 ERA in 14 1/3 innings with 15 K's and only 1 pass with Opponents ONLY hitting .163 against him.

Behind the BOYS in BLUE Starters you have 26 year old Closer Javy GUERRA and he has had 5 Saves in 5 Saves Opportunities and his ERA is at .071 having struckout 5 in 5 Innings pitched.

I know its early but the GIGANTES, 'DRES, ROCKIES, and D'BACKS have their work cut out chasing the BOYS in BLUE.

Look for KEMP and ETHIER to be starting NL All-Stars in the Outfield in the Mid Summers Classic 2012......ROYALS Stadium in K.C..
