Dodgers Thoughts | ESPN Los Angeles — The analogy doesn't quite work, but the above was the best I could come up with for the latest result. Los Angeles got a rare first-inning lead on Andre Ethier's two-run homer, but gave it up for good on a three-run homer by Houston third baseman Chris Johnson in the sixth inning. The Dodgers lost their sixth straight game and fell to 69-72. Only four Dodger teams have finished below .500 since 1988. According to my research on Baseball-Reference.com, no Dodger team has ever entered September with a winning record and finished the season with a losing record.

Not even when 16-year minor leaguer John Lindsey finally gets his first major league at-bat. Somehow they find a way to lose, again. Manage to turn a promising game into another forgettable loss. This time Lilly made one mistake and Chris Johnson crushed it for three-run homer to lead the Astros to a 3-2 victory Thursday, handing the Dodgers their sixth consecutive defeat. That matched their season...
