Lights out, jello's jigglin' and the butter's gettin' hard

I am officially putting the Dodger season in the refrigerator. When you're going into a stretch of pivotal games that can put you over the hump to get into the playoffs by starting against the Rockies at home (the same Rockies that had won 14 road games all season) and wind up losing 2 of 3, you're going nowhere. The only thing left to determine now is the date the Dodgers will officially be eliminated. If anyone actually reads this column, feel free to add your comments on when that day will be. Only because the NL West is so dreadful, they will survive into relatively late in the season and be elminated from the NL West crown on Sept 26. From the WildCard, they'll be eliminated on Sept 17. My predictions. What are yours?

The other thing that's come to an end is Bradley's career as a Dodger. That goes in the refrigerator as well. I feel for that guy. He's very passionate and above average baseball player. But the crap he puts people through just isn't worth an "above average" player. Good luck. Maybe the Nationals'll give him a chance (a la Guillen), but I seriously doubt the Dodgers will have him back.

Peace Out.
