The Dodgers have now dropped 4 of the last 5 and haven't scored a run in 17 innings.
The starting rotation is a shambles.
Beltre has cooled off. Werth is injured. Bradley has been in a funk. Green is becoming the new Eric Karros of the Dodgers. You can almost always pencil in an out for the catcher's slot with Mayne or Ross.
About the only thing that is still sort of normal is the bullpen. Considering that Mota (traded), Martin (traded) and Dreifort (injured) are gone, the "no name" bullpen still goes on with Brazoban, Carrara, Sanchez, Venefro and Stewart. The only big name is Gagne and he doesn't have much to do now that the Dodgers are losing games.
Last night, in post-game Dodger talk, host, A. Martinez asked, "Is it time to panic yet?"
Well, with only 2 1/2 games on the Giants, I think so!
Of course it is better to be 2 1/2 games up rather than 2 1/2 games behind like they were in previous seasons.
