In order to tie Washington for first, second-place UCLA must win their next two conference games and UW must lose their final game. However, this may prove more of a challenge than it appears.

The LA Dodger fans that think the signing of Manny Ramirez will instantly turn that team into a World Series contender are on crack and have forgotten that the Dodgers lost Derek Lowe, Brad Penny and Takashi Saito. That's their #1 and #2 pitcher and closer from last year for all the band wagoners from last year that are rummaging the house for their Lakers Car flags right now.
