or at least is sure seems that way. His ERA's gone up over a run since the break, and he's allowed 6 of his 15 HR in his last 5 starts. That's a sign he's keeping the ball up, probably meaning his back is yet again bothering him. The Dodgers are toast without him healthy in October, if they get there.

And Bulldog, how bout that Mulder performance tonight!! StL better be careful or they're not even gonna make the playoffs, let alone beat the Mets in a 7 game set...
