The Peterson Principle 7/2/12

Wow! Alert the media. Sound the alarm! The Dodgers just scored a run… You knew the Dodgers offense would struggle without Matt Kemp in the lineup but did anybody predict this bad? This is a slump of epic proportions.

Do they play the high school baseball All-Star game in October? Or the basketball All-Star game in August? What would happen if they did? I’ll tell you what would happen. It wouldn’t work.
