Oscar Martinez
I was born in the shadow of Dodger Stadium and immediately drenched in Dodger Blue. Chavez Ravine is my baseball cathedral, Vin Scully was the golden voice of summer all my life, and Tommy Lasorda remains the greatest Dodgers manager ever.

With Offense MIA, Dodgers Shut Out 0-2

Kenta Maeda and the Dodgers Rise Above Cheaters to Win Game and Series
I tell ya, this game had everything! Where do I start? For one thing, the Dodgers came limping into this third and final game of the series against the cheatin' Cardinals after barely winning an extra inning nightmare, followed by getting stomped in a game that had no business being that

Two Stupid Decisions by Dave Roberts Lead to Extra Innings Mess
Don't get me wrong, I'm usually a cheerleader for Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, but not tonight. In this first game of a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals, the skipper messed up big time. He made two ridiculous - and monumental - decisions that cost the Dodgers a nine-inning

Joc Pederson and Adrian Gonzalez Bust Out of Their Slumps Big Time
If the internet and Twitter were running things, Joc Pederson would be taking his at bats in the Show Me state, and Adrian Gonzalez would be literally delivering butter and eggs to a supermarket near you. They've both been mired in season-long slumps. Young Joc had a wonderful Opening Day with

Now THAT’S More Like It, Dodgers Beat SF 6-1
The first two games between the Dodgers and the Giants were played under miserable conditions, and they both ended with equally miserable results for the boys in blue. But that was all in the past. The swirling, unmerciful winds were gone. The cold, unrelenting rain was gone. The sun was

Dodgers Crushed Early, Attempt Comeback, Fall Short 10-7
