9/25 6-4 W over the Braves
We batted around in the first and put 5 on the board. Guerrero with his 41st error. Welch goes 8 for his 18th win. Howe gets his 34th save.


9/26 2-1 L against the Reds
Pena goes the distance, gets PoG, but the offense can't pick him up. Smalley hits number 24. Guerrero with 2 more errors, now has 43. Are they really going to stick with him?




9/27 6-4 W over the Reds
The Dodgers hit 4 homeruns, Baker (12), Stubbs (28), Brenly (15), Kittle (13). Doc Medich pitches into the 8th, and Minton looks bad in relief once again. Howe closes out for his 35th.


9/28 5-4 L to the Padres
Fell behind early, but another Kittle would homer and tied it up. Valenzuela gave it right back in the bottom of the 8th. Dusty would get us within striking distance with a 2-run homer, but Kittle would strike out to end it.


9/29 9-7 W over the Padres
This was a crazy game. We claw back from down 4-1 to make it a 1 run game. But Neidenfuer lets 5 baserunners on and gets really roughed up for the first time this year. Head into the top of the 9th down 7-3 and the rally begins. Topped off by a Sid Bream, pinch hit, Grand Slam. The first homerun of his career, and the first hit of his career. Not a bad way to start Sid! John Franco gets his first career win. Howe shuts them down for his 36th save.


Steve Garvey got back into the lineup as Greg Brock is sitting for a few with some knee soreness. That doesn't bode well for longevity when you're only 26. LA will finish the year off with a 3 game homestand against the Giants, who we have a losing record against, next. We just need 1 more win to better the record from 1982.


9/30 4-1 W over the Giants
We pick up win number 106. Roy Smalley goes deep 2 times and knocked in 3, he's got 26 now. Bob Welch goes 7 strong for his 19th win and Howe gets 6 outs (4K's) for his 37th save.


10/1 9-2 L to the Giants
Pena was ineffective today, walking 5 and giving up 7 hits. No real bright spots. There was a Dave Stewart sighting, as he pitched 2 scoreless.


10/2 3-1 W over the Giants
Doc Medich dominated allowing 4 hits and a run over 8 and a third. Roy Smalley went deep again for his 27th and Howe cleaned up the last 2 outs for his 38th save.


So the 1983 Los Angeles Dodgers are the NL West Champions with a 107-55 record. That is tops in baseball once again. A damn fine year for a fan, and once again, very high hopes for the playoffs.
