The Dodgers have completely decimated themselves these last couple weeks. They went from a decent lead (for the NL West) of the division to fourth place, six and a half games out. The pitching rotation is broken with Schmidt and Wolf on the DL and Tomko and Hendrickson being, well, worthless. The few decent pitchers that are left haven't gotten anything in the way of run support. Meanwhile, Grady Little has done his best to make a comeback improbable. Dodger Blues put it best in their "Asshole of the Moment" feature:
They do this to me every year. I still blame the Braves.
8.13.07 - Grady Little
Andre Ethier is the only Dodger hitting worth a shit, and where does Grady have him in the lineup? Eighth—so the opposition can pitch around him. It's no different than buying a rose bush, putting it under the sink, and then wondering why the leaves are turning brown. Idiot.

Yeah, I've stopped paying attention to them because of how atrociously bad they've been playing. At least the Mets are still leading in their division. That gives me something to watch.
Thank God. I mean, as painful as watching the Padres pathetically try to score runs has been, I can at least console myself with the knowledge that the Dodgers are even worse.
