As I'm writing this, John Ely has somehow outdueled Dan Haren and is currently leading 4-1 in the 7th innning. I was already writing this game off as a loss and John Ely has somehow provided a miracle. He's only allowed 2 ER in his last 18 innings and the Dodgers have somehow gotten 3 quality starts in a row from their starting pitchers.*

Hey, Bill Plaschke, I dont wanna see anymore of your terrible "ace" articles. We have St. Ely!

*I know Bills technically didn't get a quality start last night, but I think he would have made it out of the 6th if Joe Torre would have let him so I'm counting it.
