Bad, bad loss, a loss that might have been avoided if one play had been made that wasn’t and a couple of decisions had been made differently. The good news is that the wildcard race — which is looking more and more like the Dodgers’ only avenue into the playoffs — didn’t change, although it did tighten up a bit in the Dodgers’ rearview mirror. The boys are still a very manageable two games back of the Pods, so no reason to lose hope just yet. Dodgers are 74-67 and now trail the Snakes by 4 1/2 in the NL West, with the Rockies just a half-game behind in fourth place. Early game tomorrow thanks to the good folks at the Fox network.
