LOS ANGELES — It says a lot about the Dodgers’ 2012 season of transition that the top five moments took place off the field and not on it.
On the field was a disappointment, the result of too many injuries and not enough production. For the 2013 Super Bowl 49ers Paypal third consecutive season, the Dodgers failed to make the playoffs, even with a midseason influx of established stars.
Oddly, the bargain roster played better in the first half than the upgraded version in the second half. The club spent all but nine days in first place before the All-Star break and only nine days in first place after the break. It wasn’t until a late September 7-1 run that the new-look roster showed what it was capable of, but that was too late to catch St. Louis for the last Wild Card spot.
In fairness cheap jerseys paypal , 2011 MVP runner-up Matt Kemp was never the same after suffering a May hamstring injury, and neither were the Dodgers. Kemp was injured again running into the fence at Coors Field on Aug. 28, ultimately needing shoulder surgery.
