Back after a long absence, Dodgers get back on track against Cubs

Haven't been able to post for a long time, but I'm back for those of you that might see this, and I'm going to post more frequently.
Dodgers starting pitching is definitely lacking durability as of late, especially with the struggles of rookie John Ely, who was considered "the real deal" after a dominating first few outings with the club. Now, his record is 4-6, and his ERA has spiked to well over 4, and has been sent down to the minors. However, since his return from the disabled list, Vicente Padilla has definitely been picking it up. Since his return, he is 3-1 with a 2.38 ERA, compared to 1-1 with a 6.65 ERA before he went on the DL. So obviously, the Dodgers rotation has been streaky. So, if Ely can find what's wrong in the minors and return to his early 2010 form, and Padilla keeps this hot streak up, our rotation could be in good shape for the long haul, even without a trade deadline pickup. We'll see how it goes.
