This is real sad

we just proved that we cannot compete with other playoff teams.
If we can't beat the dodgers with their rotation then we better find some help through waivers.

I wouldn't worry a whole lot about that series. The Goobers have been winning with a dinged up rotation most of the season. Just before the AS break, they took 5 of 7 from SF. They've had a pretty soft schedule since the AS break, but still stumbled against the Reds.

The Cubs could use another good arm. Lieber and Wood have been carring the load. If one of the other guys (Bere, Tavarez or Tapani) step it up, you may be in good shape. I hate to say it, but you should have a few easy games against the Rockies before SF comes to town.
