Wakeup Call: Diamondbacks 9, Dodgers 3
Another Bad Penny outing, more lousy relief, and another game in which the bats were stymied.
And on top of it, a half game back of the Phillies for the Wild Card.
I was there for it, through six and a half anyway, leaving early as I felt increasingly bad with laryngitis, the first time all year I've exited before the game was over. The fact that I didn't miss anything was pathetic; the fact that it was my last time to Dodger Stadium this year felt oddly like, well, see you next year, guys. Fans always say things like, "they look flat" and "they don't want to win," which is BS, because of course the players want to win, else why are they in the show? (Offer void if your name is Hal Chase.)
Maybe this scrap heap just isn't up to it, you know? And that's okay. They gave us some great moments.
They could fool me. The season still has plenty of outs left, plenty of innings for magic and drama and suchlike, but the clock's a-ticking.
