Dodger (and Yankee) update

Lost amidst the things going on in my life recently is the fact that the Dodgers have sucked ass lately. We have lost 6 games in a row and 9 out of ten. We have been shut out three times in a row for the first time in more than forty years. (In fact, we've been shut out four of the last five games and have lost 1-0 twice. We haven't scored a single run for more than about thirty innings or so.) The Dodgers are now in 4th place, five games behind the Diamonds for the division lead and three games out of the Wild Card lead (with tons of teams ahead of us). Meanwhile, the thrice-damned Yankees have continued to kick ass and are six games out of the AL East divison lead and -- even worse! -- just half a game out of the AL Wild Card lead. That sucks! This must be because of all the bad karma I've accumulated...
