Dodgers Bullpen

Of all the strengths the Los Angeles Dodgers 2009 team has, the one that might stand out above the rest is their dominating bullpen. If you fall behind the Dodgers early, you can pretty much kiss that game goodbye because they've got the best collection of talent in one bullpen of any team in baseball. This is a picture of Hong-Chih Kuo stretching out in the outfield before the Dodgers August 23rd game against the Cubs. Kuo's responsibility is usually the seventh inning. He's a lefthander with overpowering stuff. He comes in throwing gas and gets the job done in a hurry. Kuo's role may sound small, but he is dominant at it, and it takes 25 guys all doing their part well to win a championship.
