23 innings of no runs

Just when you thought the Dodgers' offense couldn't possibly get any worse, they do.

The scoreless streak is now at a whopping 23 innings as the Detroit Tigers dismantled them tonight, 5-0. I doubt the Tigers even needed to do so much as stretch to prepare for this one. That's how abysmal the Dodgers are these days.

Derek Lowe pitches his ass off again, but it doesn't matter. He goes 7 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, and he wasn't even close to getting the win. Nope, not when your offense is a complete disgrace and embarrassment to the league. It's another horrendous performance from the worst offensive team in baseball... by far.

I absolutely cannot wait for the day the Dodgers are fun to watch. And by fun I don't even necessarily mean win. Every damn game is the same old crap - weak, pitiful offense, while the pitching breaks their backs trying to carry the team, to no avail. These losers are harder to watch than soccer.

A grand total of 4 baserunners were on today. FOUR FREAKIN' RUNNERS. I honestly think Little Leaguers could do better. In fact, I know they can.

The bottom line is this team has no heart, no passion, and no desire to be a winning ballclub. They may talk like they do, but any team that hasn't scored 1 time in the last 23 innings is obviously just blowing smoke. They suck.

Brad Penny takes the mound Saturday afternoon, and it really doesn't matter whether or not he pitches well. The offense will inevitably let him down anyway. Eddie Bonine makes his first career start for the Tigers. So basically, it'll be his first career win.
