Chad Billingsley pitched a superb game going 7 innings with only 4 hits and no runs. The Dodgers seemed poised to win again with Jonathan Broxton getting on the mound. People were already closing the book on the Mets who left 23 men on base all game. But Broxton did not have the stuff today giving up a double then a home run to Carlos Beltran. To tie the game then leaving Broxton in in hopes of saving some face. Then Carlos Delgado gets a single then a sac bun and a intentional walk later Broxton gives up a single to Fernando Tatis and the Mets move into the lead.

Then comes the in my opion best closer in the mlb Billy Wagner. He stuck out the side and the Dodgers lose another heartbreaker. To fall below 500. The good news however is that the Diamondbacks are within a slump as well. Leaving the dodgers on 3 and half games behind first place. Someone is looking down on the dodgers and guiding them threw because I don’t know how any teams could lose this much and still have a shot at first place.

The Dodgers will figure out how to kill the rest of the day. Then tomorrow they will face off with the Mets for the last time in the series. I believe Hiroki Kuroda will take the mound tomorrow he will be opposed by Claudio Vargas. Kuroda’s main task will be keeping clam threw the 5^th inning. He tends to get there with strong pitching but when he arrives in the 5^th he starts to take on water.

Also again the name of the game will be hitting as in every game. James Loney needs to get on the ball going 0 for 4 today the whole team needs to step up. Going 1 for 4 is unacceptable especially when the entire team is 1 for 4. No one will pick the dodgers up to help them instead the coaching staff will stand on there throat and force them to become better. Not at all the all star break yet but seems like this season if not saved soon is already over…
