At Least They Scored, Finally.

The only positive spin I can find to put on this slide is that Colorado was even worse through the first 21 games (8-13) last year, and still rebounded to make the playoffs.
Do I think the Dodgers have the potential to rebound, win 18 of 19, the way the Rockies did? Yes. Will it require firing Joe Torre? I hope not. Will it require better pitching performances? Absolutely.
As currently constituted, these Dodgers aren't good enough to be a playoff team. Not only are they missing Eric Stults, Randy Wolf and the first half of 2009 Chad Billingsley, but it looks like last year's bullpen miracle workers are regressing to the mean of what they were: Journeymen pitchers who had never had such a great season before.
