I must admit after today's inexcusable loss to the Pirates that for the first time this year, I'm really concerned about the Dodgers chances in the post-season.
They looked awful all afternoon.
Last night, after their loss to the Tigers, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen ripped his team in his post-game news conference. In a nutshell, he said if the players don't care, to go play somewhere else. Well, I won't go that far, but against the two worst teams in the N.L., it seems the life has been suck right out of the Dodgers.
They've made bone-headed mistakes, bad errors, horrible base-running decisions. The defense has been horrid all week and the offense has sputtered. And the bullpen has looked about as bad this week as it has all season.
Suddenly, it seems as if there is no sense of urgency on this team.
That said, they're still going to be playing baseball in October, but I don't know if that's any consolation to the way they've played all week. Sure, anything can happen once they get there, but if they go into the post-season playing like this, it will be another quick exit for the Blue.
There's still time to turn this mess around. They've done it before. There's no reason they can't do it again.
