Now, that explains everything :)

The widely enjoyable prose of John Hill over at the Dodger Hill offers this explanation as to why the Dodger hitting went south after the series in Pennsylvania:

"Grady Little announced that
due to any “oversight”
the Dodgers left their bats
in Pittsburgh. “It explains a lot,”
Little was quoted as saying.
He also stated that he hoped
that the hitting would improve
now that the team had something
to swing. Owner Frank McCourt
reportedly has fired the
equipment manager as well as all
the bat boys in response to
the debacle".
