Ground Zero

3 games, 3 losses, at least two in heart breaking fashion. Where do we go now?

In case any of you missed the debacle last night, LA cruised into the 9th with a comfy 5-1 lead, about to salvage a game in SD and go back to LA only .5 back. That was before Jonathon Broxton and his gas can came to the bonfire. Here's the recap:

Geoff Blum started the winning rally by beating out an infield single to second base. Terrmel Sledge reached on an error by first baseman Garciaparra, who fielded his grounder but had the ball pop out of his glove. Marcus Giles singled to left to load the bases, and Paul McAnulty hit a chopper and outraced Garciaparra to the bag for an infield single that brought in the inning's first run. Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run ground-rule double to right-center, Josh Bard was intentionally walked to reload the bases and Mike Cameron's single to center brought in McAnulty to tie the game. Kevin Kouzmanoff struck out for the first out, bringing up Branyan, who walked on a full-count pitch to score Gonzalez. Broxton faced nine batters, allowing five hits and walking two. Thanks Nomar and thanks Jonathon!!!!!

So now we come home for 3 vs. Toronto, including the GREAT Hollywood Stars game (including the loser from Dawson's Creek, was he ever a star???) and Carne Asada Sunday. Yes folks, you can pay even MORE to the Dodgers to have some cheap ass Mexican grub after the game hopefully served by Tomato Saenz. Its not like he's playing or anything.

What is up with the NL West? SD and AZ are playing out of their minds. Normally having the Dodgers 8 games or so above .500, this early, I'd be STOKED but now we're in 3rd place? Yikes! Here's hoping we can do to Canada this weekend what the Ducks did to Canada in the Cup Finals. America Jr. Sucks!
