Alexander: Take a deep breath, Dodger fans

LOS ANGELES — It seems like the All-Star break came at a very good time, for both the Dodgers and their fans.
After a period where people in L.A. got so used to walk-off victories that it seemed as if they could be dialed up on demand, some harsh reality intruded this weekend.
