The Dodgers are having a fantastic season. They have the best record in baseball right now and are on pace to win 111 games. They’re arguably having one of the greatest if not the best season in franchise history. They have a 9.5 game lead in the NL West. They

At some point the Dodgers will lose and it will suck. Until then the Dodgers can’t lose even when they try to lose. For example before Sunday afternoon’s 3-2 win over the Marlins, the Dodgers wrote in two automatic outs in the bottom of their lazy getaway day lineup. Kike

The trade deadline is just a couple of weeks away and we’re well on our way to hearing way too many rumors about who the Dodgers might be interested in picking up to bolster their roster for the stretch drive and the playoffs. One of the most interesting rumors is

After last night's dramatic come from behind, ninth inning win, I suspect more than a few Dodger fans would have appreciated a plain ol' fashion steamrolling, right from the get go. With 10-0 Alex Wood taking to the mound, that looked like a pretty good bet. The start of the game

"What a team! What a team!" That was the rallying cry often heard from Kirk Gibson during the Dodgers' last trek to the top of baseball's highest peak, the World Series. It rang true then, and just under thirty years later, those words ring just as true for this squad

The Dodgers were down to their last strike three times in the top of the 9th, trailing by a run. These Dodgers fought back and won the game 6-4 coming into the second half of the season. I'm not surprised. Today Yasiel Puig was the hero as he hit a

The six Dodger all-stars won’t have to go far as the boys in blue open the second half schedule with a three game weekend series against the Marlins in Miami. The Dodgers enter the second half with the best record in baseball (61-29) and a 7.5 game lead over Arizona

Last November the Dodgers traded veteran infielder Howie Kendrick to the Phillies for Darin Ruf and former farmhand Darnell Sweeney. The move was met with much skepticism as Kendrick was an integral part of the last two postseason runs for the Dodgers. Not only that, but the Dodgers had traded

It's time for me to recap five of my favorite moments from the first half of the season. Let's see if any match up with yours. Here we go, in no particular order. April 25 Dodgers vs Giants The day Cody Bellinger got called up. At this early point in the season the

So Cody Bellinger didn’t win the 2017 home run derby, but he did perform pretty well. The rookie slugger hit 15 home runs in the first round to beat Charlie Blackmon by an inch, (literally) and advance to the second round where he hit 12 long balls. Unfortunately he was

The July 31 non-waiver trade deadline is fast approaching and there will be a lot of talk about who the Dodgers should acquire to bolster their roster for October. There’s already discussion of them acquiring Justin Verlander, or Sonny Gray. The Dodgers currently have a 7.5 game lead in the

With all of the Dodger’s accolades and records being broken they have yet to obtain one meaningless statistical notch. They’ve swatted home runs out of ball parks at record numbers. They’ve walked more times than your neighbor’s dog. Their pitching staff is the best in baseball and Alex Wood has

If I were to tell you that the Dodgers were on pace for 120 wins this year, what would you say? Better yet what if the Dodgers didn’t lose again for the rest of the season? Would you ever get bored of the Dodgers winning? Would the Dodger’s domination start

You’ll have to excuse me as I write this recap because I might be a bit delirious. It is 108 degrees out here in Southern California. A massive heat wave has swept across the southland. No word from meteorologists on whether that’s caused by a high pressure system in the

Remember that saying that “you can’t win them all”? Oscar had spoken about thinking up a catchy headline for Thursday evening’s recap with something along those lines before the Dodger’s beautifully timed four-run come from behind win in the bottom of the ninth inning against the dbacks in the series finale. The

It's really happening. Go ahead and let yourself believe - just like the hopeless optimists believe every season - this could be the year. The Dodgers are putting together something special, and it feels wonderful. Tonight the Dodgers sent the resurrected one, Rich Hill, to the mound with orders to complete
