On the plus side, the Dodgers were hitting
But on the minus side, their eleven knocks amounted to little more than bupkis during a 4-1 loss to the Astros. After James Loney's first inning sacrifice fly sent Andre Ethier home, the Dodgers found themselves unable to make the most of any other time a Blue runner was on the bags. Whether you're talking a fifth inning fiasco that stranded Blake DeWitt on third with nobody out, Jeff Kent on second a frame later with one out and two ensuing K's or "pick your shined Dodger," the hits created were the equivalent of empty calories. They'll make you feel good for an instant, but you can rarely make a nourishing meal of them. Nor anything healthy, whether food, box score or otherwise.
More to come later.

That was hilarious. Repko comes up and doesn't miss a beat. He immediately starts playing "Dodger baseball"!
The Dodgers should have set a new major league record for involvement in 6 straight shutouts, if Oswald had not hit 2 batters. Even with bases loaded and 1 out I was surprised when Loney hit the sacrifice to drive in a run.
The score should have been 4-0.
It's so disheartening. Every time a guy gets on base you know he is just going to stay out there.

I'm glad I'm not wathching these loosers any more.
Miss the good ol days with good ol people like Kirk Gibson. Do the Dodgers have someone like that on this team? I don't know for sure. I don't watch any more.
Hey but this is still my team. Even if they're sucking right now. Maybe a spark can ignite this team.
Don't they Have Torre and Jones this year? You never know with these guys around. That's for sure.

AJ hit a TOWERING homer to left field last night, that would have been out in a real ball park as well.
Oh... it just landed.

Not surprised the blue lost again. I will just close my eyes and dream of a real Dodger team not romp o room ball.
