It's way too damn hot in LA right now. Yesterday the high was 108. It should never be 108. This isn't Palm Springs. 108 is ridiculous. I feel sorry for all you folks without air conditioning. I would be wilting away and passing out right about now without it. For those of you with it, just wait till those rolling blackouts hit again. That'll be fun. On to the pitiful Dodgers:

Well, what is there to say at this point? The Dodgers lost again today, completing the St. Louis sweep. That's the second time they've been swept by the Cards since the All-Star break. The Dodgers have lost 10 of their last 11 and now sit tied for last place in the NL West with the Colorado Rockies, 4.5 back of the Padres. As the offense exploded today for one run on five hits, the Dodgers saw their playoff hopes slip even farther away.

This looks like the end for the Dodgers, who stayed afloat as long as they could, until they realized they were the Dodgers. Then they went back down the crapper. It feels eerily like last season at this point, with the team stinking it up and J.D. Drew hurt again. I should be bashing the team for its incompetence and inability to stay above .500 in the poorest division in baseball. But then again I should also be jumping in an ice bath to cool my nuts.
