Still A Little Cynical

And why wouldn't I be a little cynical after watching the Dodgers' lifeless 3-1 loss to the deadbeat Dads Wednesday night? The great Kevin Correia shut them down. Kevin Correia. But even worse than their newly minted lackluster offense and the latest Wall Street Journal article that predicts their eventual downfall due to being 28th in baseball in "pure power" numbers, was another horrific performance by young Clayton Kershaw, now 3-5 on the year. Though Clayton's ERA is not terrible, @ 4.50. he's really only had 2 strong outings all year and he just can't stop walking guys and throwing too many pitches. I suggest they send him down to Albuquerque until after the All Star break to get that problem worked out. Hopefully, Kuroda can stay effective because the team has no one except Billingsley on whom they can rely in the way of starting pitching. We'll see what happens tonight in Texas, but it doesn't bode well, seeing as how the Blue have historically been awful in interleague play and Texas's offense is stellar. Furcal, Martin and Loney need to hit or the dramatic drop from the precipice is, as I've been predicting, not far off.
