I don't know how much more miserable I can feel about this 2011 season, but every day it seems to exceed my expectations and get even worse. This 2-4 homestand was exemplified by today's "contest": Ted Lilly looked like he was rolling (through the first four innings), before getting slammed by HR to Geovany Soto (solo), Carlos Pena (solo), and Marlon Byrd (three-run dagger). The Dodgers got a run in the sixth only when Tony Gwynn Jr. led off with a double, moved over on a Aaron Miles single and was sacrificed in by Jay Gibbons--which was lucky because Matt Kemp followed with a GIDP. Aside from that the Dodgers managed only four other hits, none of which advanced a single base from there.
Off the field, the news got worse (I mean, look at all the sad-faced headlines on the Dodgers website's headlines; it's pathetic). Jonathan Broxton went in for an MRI (perhaps this is good news at this point), Juan Uribe was hit on the hand and had to leave the game (x-rays are negative, and he's supposed to be back Friday), and Andre Ethier was a late scratch for the game, which put the hitting streak in carbon-freeze stasis. And if we can't beat the Padres or the Cubs in a series, all the half-price food and drink in the world ain't gonna save us.

Magglio Ordonez badge (DET, HR) hits Sax's case! Badge #58.
"And if we can't beat the Padres or the Cubs in a series, all the half-price food and drink in the world ain't gonna save us."
F*cking CLASSIC.
McCourt looks to on the ropes.
At least that is something.
Aubrey Huff badge hits Jason's case.
Jason hits computer monitor until case disappears.
@Jason: That is one of my biggest problems with the mlb.com badges: you can't get rid of the ones you don't want. I got dorks all over my case that I want to jettison.
Including Huff, btw.
Because if we were allowed get rid of the less desirable ones, people would hoard nothing but Jeters.
Jeter hoarders never prosper
Today was my first day game of the season. Half-priced food doesn't suck. A hot dog, nachos and a large coke for $8.50. The line-up on the other hand...

Half-priced beer would save us, though. Alas....

Hey, it's a picture of Mr. C on the headlines graphic! Or wait, is that Sax?
And, of course, may the fourth be with you all.
