"Look, what makes rock bottom? We won two out of three in Atlanta and I didn't hear the question. How many games make rock bottom? I mean, losing 2-0, 1-0, is that rock bottom?"
(Manny Acta, via Washington Post, 7/27/2008)
Dodgers 2, NAAAts 0: Road trip from hell ends with a whole lotta zeros, but they're not rock bottom yet, says Manny! To recap, the last 18 innings have looked like this: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.

So,if we know that a trade like Rauch for Benaficio means that management is writing off this season, it probably got back to the club house too. With Lo Duschka and Flop both well aware that they will not ever get traded, everyone over thirty knowing they are not part of our The Plans for the future, it leaves very few members of this team with anything to play for. Brace yourself for a long hard August/September because things aren't going to get any better.

Yep, it'll be a long, hard last two months, to be sure...
