Well, at least we're beating the Giants......sigh


The Dodgers can't seem to score

Apparently, the Dodgers were so excited about Bonds hitting 756, A-Rod hitting 500, and Glavine winning his 300th that they wanted to break a record too. They decided that Orel Hershiser's record of 59 scoreless innings... Someone should politely let them know that it was the OTHER team that the Bulldog kept from scoring.

All sarcastic kidding aside, the Dodgers are currently up to 28 consecutive scoreless innings, and have been shutout in their last 4 out of 5 games. They have fallen from first place to fourth in less than a week, meaning the only team worse than them is the miserable Giants (who everyone, myself included, will now return.to not-watching, since Barry has broken the record).

Having moved to the Eastern time zone, and being a busy dad, I can't really watch their games any more, so I have to keep up with them from reading box scores the next day. Part of me is somewhat thankful, seeing how bad a picture the box scores have painted of late. Here's to hoping this year can end with a bit more of a consolation than the fact that we ended up better than the Giants, and at least we didn't let Barry hit 756 in Dodger Stadium.

UPDATE: My reverse-jinx plan has worked! Clearly, someone (perhaps all) at the Dodgers reads this blog, and was shamed by my scathing sarcasm. This led to the Dodgers offensive reawakening in a 5-4 victory over Cincinnati.
