Dodgers are Impotent

By my math the Dodgers have scored either 0 or 1 run in 12 of their last 22 games. No positive way you can put a spin on that, my friends. I watched most of the game at a sports bar downtown in hopes of taking a drink every time they scored a run off of Detroit's Armando Galarraga. And I stayed sober just like the old nun.

On the heels of this current slide comes word that the Dodgers may be looking to shop Matt Kemp. I'm pretty sure if they keep him he never reaches his potential and ends up playing in Japan by 2012. If they deal him however he will go 40/40 every year as a perennial All-Star. Out of the list of names Rosenthal lists as potential suitors for Kemp, Matt Holliday is the only one who appeals to me (yes I know his OPS is way better at home)--Jason Bay has been barely above average for 3 straight years before putting it back together this season and while I love Magglio Ordonez he probably only has another 2 great season left in him before beginning the twilight of his career. Who knows what Neddy is thinking though. The lesson, as always, never trust a man with a mustache.
