For most teams in baseball, sitting where the Los Angeles Dodgers are right now would be a thing of beauty, and of excitement. For most fans of the Dodgers, coming off their first series loss of the year, and to the San Diego Padres no less, it’s anything but fun.
The Dodgers have the best record in baseball, but it doesn’t feel that way. Many players are on the injured list, and other key players are not pulling their weight. The team to the south seems to be having more fun, and wants it more. Losing three of four to them feels like Doomsday, at least according to the Twitter timeline.
