Where Has All the Offense Gone?
The Dodgers fall to the Cincinnati Reds tonight 4-0. That's the third time the Dodgers were shutout in their last four games. Through 7/23, LA was averaging 4.72 runs per game, tied for fifth in the NL. In their last twelve contests, they've scored just 34 runs (2.8 per game), winning just two. They're now 4 1/2 games out of first place, and may be tied with Colorado by the end of the evening. It seems just as Nomar is getting his swing back, the rest of the team goes south.
Little offense, perfect for Billingsley and my fantasy squad. Nomar has been quite disappointing this season especially since he lost his SS eligibility.
