I guess we all knew it was too good to be true. It had to end eventually, and this weekend, it did. J.D. Drew's consecutive games played without an injury is over at 41. He sat out both Saturday and Sunday's games with a sore shoulder, the same one he had surgery on this past offseason. The Dodgers are being overly cautious, but my bet is that this ends up being a chronic thing that eventually sidelines Drew for the rest of the season. Do we really expect anything more at this point? This guy would go on the DL with a papercut. Even worse, Jeff Kent sat out today's game with a sore wrist, meaning the Dodgers had to bring up Matt Kemp from AA-Jacksonville or risk only having 3 outfielders on today's roster. At least Gagne's expected back in less than a week.

The Dodgers dropped 2 out of 3 to the Nats this weekend, promptly halting their 7 game winning streak and bringing Brett Tomko and Jae Seo back down to earth. We all knew Tomko couldn't possibly be this good for the whole season, so his mediocrity was pretty much expected. Seo on the other hand, has been borderline shitty the whole season. He stays afloat with quality starts here and there, but he gets rocked way too often. At least Odalis Perez isn't still pitching. Now the Dodgers go off to face the Braves, probably without the heart of our lineup. In other words, we're screwed.
