The Season is over...

Simple as that. They won't be going to the playoffs this year folks. Methinks that 5 1/2 games in the next 6 weeks is a bit too much for this club to overcome.

There are a few reasons this team will, most likely, come up short in 2006. They are:

Casey Kotchman getting sick and the revolving door at 1B that ensued.

Adam Kennedy playing much worse than anyone anticipated and Mike Scioscia not doing anything about it.

A much less effective bullpen than in years past.

and...

Not enough offense from 1B, 2B, 3B, CF and DH.

RIP, 2006.
