August 1st Can't Come Soon Enough

As if the Cardinals 10 runs didn't echo loud enough, Joe Torre was busy making a statement of his own. Here's hoping Colletti and Co. weren't watching.

The problem, for the second game in a row, lied with the offense, not the person on the mound. Even if that person was Mark Loretta.

Tonight's game represented a personal low for the season. That confession withstanding, I also acknowledge that while the Dodgers are going through a tough stretch of games they also sit at 62-38, far better than most would have predicted at the onset of the season. The recent thumpings account only for a small amount of turbulence in what has otherwise been an enjoyable ride. Despite dropping three straight for the first time all season the Dodgers record in the past ten games is still a very respectable 6-4.

Stay the course, Ned. There's no need to do something drastic.
