After spending two days listening to the baseball world debate the definition of a bad slide, the Dodgers walked into Citi Field on Monday and spelled it out in crooked numbers.
Bad slide: Their pitching rotation after Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke.
On a night when thousands of New Yorkers vengefully chanted for the appearance of public enemy Chase Utley — "We want Ut-ley!" — the Dodgers handed them Brett Anderson and Alex Wood, and they all went home happy.
Two days after Utley's rotten slide broke the leg of Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada, Anderson and Wood threw a body block on the Dodgers' season, combining to allow 10 runs in a 13-7 loss to the Mets in Game 3 of a National League division series.
