Tonight brought the first visit of the Zinzinatti Reds (as the venerable Vin Skully calls them) to Chavez Ravine. The Reds had only won three road games up to this point, and sat 16 games behind the Cubs. How would they fare running into the buzzsaw known as Clayton Kershaw? Kershaw,

The Dodgers returned home after holding us hostage for the longest game of our lives. Seven hours and seventeen innings later the boys in blue finally emerged victorious by scoring four runs in the top of the seventeenth inning to defeat San Diego. It was Yasiel Puig’s two-run single that

Kenta Maeda is becoming "one of those" Dodger pitchers. When he pitches, people are starting to wonder which Maeda will show up - the awesome one, or the dreadful one? Now that I think about it, the Dodgers overall, are "one of those" teams. Here's what happened today in the crazy universe

We can see it. At least half the crowd in Chavez Ravine can see it. But I don't think Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts and his "advisors" can. This team, run on the same strategies that they've tried night after night, is headed straight for Nowheresville - and last time I

Dodgers vs Padres. Game Two. The returns of Adrian Gonzalez and Matt Kemp. Exciting stuff. Alex "Who knows which way he'll bend?" Wood on the mound. Exciting in an entirely different way. Cut to the third inning: 3rd inning Padres Alex Wood strikes out the side. It looked like Strudy Wood was on, as

All of the good feelings from Justin Turner’s two-run eighth inning go-ahead home run were immediately erased when Kenley Jansen chose a horribly bad time to have his first blown save of the season leading to the Dodger’s 7-6 loss to the Padres on Friday evening. The good thoughts were

The Dodgers opened a weekend series against the San Diego Padres tonight. The big question on everyone's mind wasn't "How will the Dodgers' offense do?" Nope, we were all wondering what ridiculous getup the Padres would try to push-off as a baseball uniform. A: They threw us all for a loop

The Dodgers travel into San Diego for a weekend set and what better way to get well after suffering another pathetic series loss than to play the lowly Padres. After the Dodgers rolled over to the Angels in the Freeway Series, it’s just a hop skip and a jump down

It is truly a shame that the Dodgers are wasting Clayton Kershaw’s unique talent and another epic campaign by surrounding him with the mediocrity that they have placed around him. Kershaw is having another magnificent season and this may be his greatest one yet. He’s struck out 10 or more batters

The final game of the Freeway Series of LA vs OC (who think they're LA), saw Ross Stripling take the mound for the Dodgers, trying to earn a split. The only thing that split was the Dodgers' chances for a win. 1st inning Dodgers Chase Utley got on with a bunt single

Wednesday night’s 8-1 loss to the Angels was a total disaster. Mike Bolsinger pitched ok, but the Dodger’s defense in conjunction with their subpar relief pitching did them in during that fifth inning meltdown. The offense was as useless as ever, scoring just the one run and doing virtually nothing else. Does

The Freeway Series shifted to Anaheim and saw the return of Mike Bolsinger to the Dodgers' starting rotation. Manager Dave Roberts was hoping to get 5 or 6 innings out of Bolsinger, and give the rest of the Dodgers' starters an extra day off. Too bad Roberts didn't wish for some

The Dodgers evened the Freeway Series on Tuesday night with a 5-1 win over the Angels thanks to another masterful performance from maestro Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw now has 88 whiffs and 4 walks on the season and has struck out 10 or more batters in six consecutive outings. My god that man

The time has come to drop the dead weights out of the Dodgers' lineup, drop others down in the batting order, and to knock off the ridiculous platoons. It's time to move forward with the players that deliver with enthusiasm, with power - and how's this for revolutionary baseball thinking?
