Game 90: Dodgers @ St Louis Cardinals 0:5
Why is it that the Dodgers get outblanked by other teams this season so much? Another gem at the wrong side of the matchup, even though I half-expected Cy Young Carpenter to give the Cardinals a good shot at the win.
Is this, as Dave Schmidt somewhere suggested (AFAIR), about time the Dodgers started to think SELL at the deadline rather than buy? If they'd be thinking sell: I would recommend they get some prospect pitching for the guys such as Tomko, Hall, Perez, Lowe and Furcal. At this point I would much sooner trade Raffy than Cesar, to be honest.
Right, second game in a row that I did not see (but I will tonight's - much better time over here):
(1) Why is everybody saying that if we ever traded Cesar Izturis than we'd have to call up Adam LaRoche. What happened all of the sudden to the promising future at 3b for Willy Aybar and/or Guzman? And if the third is somehow open, why would we not move Nomar over there and have the future infield of (left to right): Nomar-Cesar(Raffy)-Willy-James Loney?
(2) With all the recent difference in performance between the Dodgers and the Cardinals, St. Louis has like four wins more than us. Geeez, big deal. We need someone to step up for sure, and for that reason I'be looking to the likes of veterans like recently absent-minded JD Drew and/or Jose Cruz jr.
(3) I'm not sure I'd take the soft approach to Perez's venting, the way Little and Colletti did. If Odalis is never faced with reality, he's going to whine louder and louder with sympathetic audience.
(4) Tonight (our time) I get to see Mark Hendrickson wearing the Dodger blue for the first time. Hope he stops the bleeding against very hittable Jeff Suppan.
