Shock & Awwww

Drafting on my own post from this morning, the bad news for the Dodgers just got worse. All-Star reliever Eric Gagne will miss the remainder of the season due to Tommy John surgery. It will be the second such surgery for the 29 year old pitcher. According to Vin Scully, reserve catcher Paul Bako will also be sidelined for the season due to an ACL injury.

I don't wish injuries on anyone, but these setbacks definitely aren't good news for the playoff aspirations of a team already mired in a seven game death spiral.
