#100: DODGerING the Playoffs

Wheeewwwwww, that was a close call. The Dodgers almost made the playoffs. While not mathematically eliminated, getting swept in a 4-game series by the Rockies just about stuck the nail in the coffin. With 6.5 behind the Padres for the wildcard and 9 games left, you can start packin' boys. At least falling out of contention saved themselves from embarrassing 1st round exit by whomever they would've played. It's a good thing though, I would have hated the Dodgers to be mistaken for a team with heart, pride and toughness. Now that the truth has unfolded, we know that they're just a bunch of overpaid bums that will amount to nothing unless major changes are made. Ned Colletti and Grady Little are just the tip of the iceberg. The offense is filled with minor leaguers and has-been veterans in Kent, Nomar and Gonzo. The pitching needs to be rebuilt around Penny and ...I'm done, can't rebuild Chavez Ravine in a day (or an offseason). One way ticket to Anaheim please.
