Is Dodger season cursed already?

Latest bit of bad news: Starter Chad Billingsley will undergo Tommy John elbow surgery and is out through the start of next season. That's on top of Zack Greinke breaking his collarbone after a run-in with Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin, and Chris Capuano straining his calf (he had been subbing for Greinke). At least Ted Lilly is scheduled to make his first start in nearly a year on Wednesday, but who knows how effective he'll be after shoulder surgery. Even Clayton Kershaw isn't showing his normally strong stuff. As if all that's not enough the club can't seem to score very many runs, which won't get you very far when your pitching staff is in tatters. Yes, it's a long season and yes the Dodgers have a loyal fan base, but this can't be what the new owners had in mind when they shelled out $2 billion+ to buy the team last year - and then went on to assemble the second-priciest payroll in baseball. A cautionary tale for rich guys thirsting to buy a professional sports franchise. Keep smiling Magic.
