Garbage time
The Dodgers' season has hit (they hope) rock bottom. They are getting pounded by eight runs, they have the Mets and Angels coming to town this week ready to hand them a few more beatings, and then they hit the road. Meanwhile, forget that mini-rally in the first inning. Since then, the Dodgers' offense has been just like it was last night. Halladay has retired 16 of 18 since Pierre bounced out to end the first inning with the bases loaded. It's so bad that Grady is experimenting now. He has Wilson Betemit at SS. Furcal, Martin and Pierre are all out of the game. So is Schmidt, who gave up six runs on nine hits over four-plus innings and never got above the low 90s
