Breakeven: Dodgers 8, Giants 3
The Dodgers guaranteed themselves a .500 season with this win, one that came, oh, about ten games too late. With one more, they will lose the first-round draft pick compensation, but at least get to say they had a winning season. I have to admit that given how lousy this club has been, they should get some kind of a prize for it, and no, that doesn't include the loser's dividend.
In keeping with the let's-pile-on-the-kids meme that's been making the rounds lately, Steve Dilbeck got one in yesterday's Daily News that I somehow missed:

With a very limited free-agent pool awaiting this offseason, Colletti's best move would appear to move one or two of those highly regarded prospects for someone with power still in his 20s.It certainly sounds like Colletti is actively shopping the kids, and if he is, shame on him. But what if that isn't the story? What if this is just some clever spin to get the fans talking about the Dodgers again after the team's been eliminated? That would be dirty pool... if it isn't a trial balloon. Fortunately, Ross Newhan is still around to slap the Dodgers upside the head and hopefully knock some sense into them. I'm hoping it takes."Yeah, if we can pull it off," Colletti said. "That would be the optimum."

Colletti was interviewed on the Petros/Money show yesterday. He spoke at length on various subjects, but he did his best Bill Stoneman impersonation, stating that they would virtually never make a 3-for-1 trade, and that to trade any prospects, it would have to be for a marquee player who'd be around for multiple seasons. He hinted, without mentioning names, that the Dodgers would be interested in A-Rod if he opts out of his contract.
I really think this "trade the kids" crap is coming from the know-nothings (i.e., crotchety old newspaper writers who still don't know OPS from OP shorts).
