What a shocker that this investment on pricey starting pitching isn't working out.

And as much as I hate to admit it, shit like this is why I sometimes miss DePo as GM. If I've learned anything from the 2004 team, it is that if you don't have enough pitching and the available options aren't great, then you add more hitting. Well, that and having Adrian Beltre in MVP form didn't hurt, either.
Crying in April. I love it!
Uh, I don't believe it's unreasonable to panic when there are serious holes up and down the batting lineup - it is pathetic they still have neither a 1B nor a LF who can hit and those are the two positions whose market in hitters is supposedly abundant - and the pitching aside from Kershaw thus far has failed to carry the team.
And don't even get me started on Uribe.

There are holes in the lineup but I was talking about crying about the pitching. It will come. Billingsley and Kuroda haven't been that bad and Garland is still rusty. Dodgers definitely need a LFer though. Two games under .500 isn't time to panic.
Have you followed any of their last four games? They're not even competitive in pitching. They have been absolutely hammered by Pujols/Holliday/Berkman.
Blame Don Mattingly. He's never won anything, anywhere.
