Game 95: Dodgers @ Arizona D'backs 0:8

A quick test of how observant you are: what is the reason for Derek Lowe's recent struggles? (hint: there are three Dodger-world submitted reasons here). It's becoming harder and harder to watch Dodgers hit. Let alone pitch.

Game report:

(1) If you did not submit the answer to the above, do not read any further :).

(2) It scares the living daylights out of me to think that the pitcher we were shut out by was *not* Mr. Webb. Mind you, we're facing him only tonight. Can you spell "doom"?

(3) What is the English name for the situation where you are trying to tell yourself that everything is going to be fine just to be scared less? Positive confession, is it? I'm trying to give a short piece of advice to Mark Hendrickson before this evening's ballgame so I need to be precise ;).

(4) Here's my list of prospects (from most to least willing) that I could offer for immediate starting pitching help. I mean real help. 1) Guzman, 2) Aybar 3) LaRoche 4) Either. Others are either untouchable, or non-factors for reasonably immediate plans of teams we'd need to trade with. What's your list?
