Lull talk

With no free agents left and a trade seemingly unlikely, it looks like the Dodgers we have now are the Dodgers we are going to get, more or less.

I don't think they're the class of the NL, but who really can make that claim right now? Cardinals have lost some key pieces and past Carpenter, they are very suspect pitchingwise. They can afford even less now to take the hit of losing one of the big 3.

No one in the East or Central looks overwhelming in any way. The playoffs look like a true crapshoot, so getting there will be a big part of the battle. Of course, no one saw the White Sox coming last year...so who knows.

Do we really have to wait 2 1/2 more months???
