1 run in 2 games. Wow.

So much for getting back momentum after a big Monday win.

The Dodgers continued to show their incompetence by losing to the Colorado Rockies today, 2-1. Combine that with a 3-0 loss the night before, and the Rockies took 2 of 3 in this series. The Dodgers woes just won't go away.

Today was pretty much your blueprint Dodgers game. Good pitching, but weak hitting. And by weak I should say "none." 6 hits and 1 walk is all they could gather, as well as 7 K's. There's really not a whole lot else to say about this game other than, "They sucked."

The big blow was Jeff Baker's 2-run homer in the 2nd. Geez, a 2-run shot against the Dodgers is like a 7-run homer against normal teams. You would think the Rockies just sucked the life right out of Dodger Stadium, which they pretty much did. When the Dodgers can't even get 1 extra base hit or stolen base, it's no wonder why they went down as easily as paper in a fire. Just pathetic.

Clayton Kershaw pitched slightly over 100 in 5 innings, but still only gave up 2 runs. He did walk 4, which is something he'll straighten out over time. The 5 K's were nice. Aaron Cook may as well have been a combination of Cy Young, Walter Johnson, and Nolan Ryan today by completely dominating anybody in a white jersey. Brain Fuentes got the save with a perfect 9th. He probably only threw fastballs the whole time. No need to mess around when the other team sucks so bad.

And what do you know, the beatdowns just keep on coming. The Chicago Cubs are in town for the next 4. You know, that team with the best record in baseball. Ya, them. Splitting with them would be a minor miracle. Their best chance will have to come Thursday night when Chad Billingsley gets the call, but he is facing Ryan Dempster, who's been fantastic this year.

Sigh... I don't even know what else to say.
