Thank goodness the Dodgers finally got a win tonight, their first since the All-Star break. Chad Billingsley threw 7 shutout innings to notch his first Major League victory. It only took seven starts, but hey, at least it's out of the way now. Is it just me, or is Kenny Lofton a shitty center fielder these days? He badly botched a fly ball yesterday and there were a couple today I thought he could have gotten to or at least laid out for, only his old creaky body wouldn't let him do it. I say give him more rest now and keep him fresh for August and September, when we'll need his bat. Maybe he can re-discover how to play center like he did in his youth.

Now with some injury report: Jeff Kent went back on the DL and they brought Willy Aybar back up to fill his spot. Brett Tomko's getting ready to come off the DL and when he does, he'll move to the bullpen in a Gagne-esque starter-to-reliever move. Gagne sucked balls before he made the switch, but after, he became all-world. Tomko sucks balls now, but after he comes back as a reliever? Who knows, maybe he'll suck less balls. We can only hope. Cesar Izturis isn't injured, but left the team for the birth of his daughter.

Has anyone else noticed the fact the J.D. Drew hasn't homered in over a month? It's getting ridiculous now. He's been sitting on 9 homers since the 1st of June! Over 110 at-bats! What's happened to this guy? Is he afraid to swing hard in fear he'll rip an oblique like his teammates? Get some power back in that bat, asshole.

And one more thing. I heard a rumor that Ned Colletti is going after Aaron Boone. If you make that deal, sir, you are the biggest idiot in the history of baseball. No trade would be worse, ever. No matter who we gave up. I wouldn't even take Aaron Boone for free. Why not go after someone who hits higher than .240?
