The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
What happened
The Dodgers took three of four, and the 2-8 loss on the 17th was the week's hinge — the point where fans stopped arguing about the roster and started arguing about the Castellinis. The 6-2 win sandwiched in between, and a 6-4 night against the Cubs, bought nothing; Chicago answered 5-2 and 9-1. Someone counted the blowout losses and found a franchise record. Someone else noted they were eliminated when April became May. At 72-84, the hot dog jokes are doing heavy lifting.
