Right back in the lineup even though Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp both had nice games Wednesday, Luis Gonzalez went 0-for-4 Thursday against the Phillies.
Gonzalez is batting just .224 with one homer in 107 at-bats since the All-Star break. He's even stopped walking, with just five base on balls in the second half after he had 41 in 293 at-bats before the break. Especially after factoring in defense, the Dodgers would seem to be quite a bit better off with both Ethier and Kemp playing regularly right now. Blame Grady Little for continuing to sign play Gonzalez, but also blame GM Ned Colletti, who gave the 39-year-old a $7.35 million contract when there was very little upside to the move. Plus, Colletti had to know Little would stick with him far too long if he wasn't any good.

Colletti learned the trade with the Cubs and then Brian Sabean so they knew he was a maroon when they hired him.
That's right, we like our faith based team building here.
Wasn't De Podesta the idiot who traded away Paul Lo Duca and all those "Lo Duca intangibles." And what to the Dodgers have to show for it? Brad Penny? Ok, he's 4th in the league in ERA and has 14 wins, but where was he 3 years. No where, that's where. He also didn't resign Adrian Beltre to $60 meeellion deal. What a dope.
