The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently 32-38 and in second place in the National League West.

To be six games under .500 and in second place just a few games behind the division leader must be nice in what has been a terrible division this year.

The loss of hot-hitting shortstop Rafael Furcal for more than the past month and a half has really hurt the Dodgers, as they can’t seem to find an answer at the position.

The ineffectiveness of pitcher Brad Penny after a 16-4 season has also really hurt the starting rotation.
