When the Dodgers clinched the NLDS victory over the Padres in game 5 last year, the celebration was raucous and loud. This year’s celebration was a bit more tempered, but just as exciting nonetheless. The Dodgers survived 11 grueling innings to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 in game 4 of

When you have a chance at closing out a series in the postseason, you do it. The Dodgers couldn’t do that on Wednesday, losing to the Phillies 8-2 in game 3 of the NLDS at Dodger Stadium. After the Dodgers took both games in Philadelphia, the Phillies fans were going

Well I had the recap all typed up when the Dodgers were up 4-1, and it looked like it was going to be an easy win. Then the Phillies started to rally in the bottom of the ninth and the Dodger’s bullpen started to implode. We’ve seen this play out

The Dodgers began the NLDS knowing full well that they would have to steal one of these two games in Philadelphia to have a good chance at winning this series. Despite falling behind 3-0 early, the Dodgers and starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani rallied to score two in the sixth inning

How’s the gaslamp quarter doing after tonight’s NLDS game 5? It’s probably quiet as a mouse. How’s Los Angeles doing after tonight’s NLDS game 5 between the Dodgers and Padres? Pretty darn good. That’s because the Dodgers silenced the Padres and their trash talking with a 2-0 win at Dodger

I’m sure you can hear a pin drop in the gaslamp quarter tonight. The Padres and their UPS colored fans packed Petco Park fully expecting to close out the NLDS on Wednesday night. San Diego gave the ball to their ace Dylan Cease, who was pitching on short rest. The

Before the game we learned that Dodger’s game 3 starting pitcher Walker Buehler was robbed of his watch at the Santa Monica pier. I feel like Dodger fans were robbed of all joy in this depressing loss. Teoscar Hernandez hit an exciting grand slam home run in the top of

I’ve repeated myself on this blog countless times about the importance of having great starting pitching but the Dodgers don’t seem to understand this. For the third consecutive postseason the Dodgers are trying to win the World Series with extremely poor or non-existent starting pitching. When has that ever happened?

The Dodgers opened their five game National League division series on Saturday night against the San Diego Padres without franchise ace Clayton Kershaw. The club announced before the game that Kershaw would not pitch again due to his toe injury. The Dodgers may not have Kershaw this postseason but they

The Dodgers won 100 games again this season. Fans boasted. Dave Roberts felt confident. Fans once again drank the swill. This year would be different. This season feels different they said. This team fights, this team has heart. They destroyed the Dbacks in the regular season (they didn’t actually, an

If winning 100 games in the regular season and looking like jack asses in the playoffs is exciting for you, then these Dodgers are perfect. It’s not for me, and I’m not excited for this brand of terrible baseball. As predicted by me, and many of you, the Dodgers lost

I feel sorry for the Dodgers fans who drank the swill this year. If you did, I’m sorry to tell you this, but pitching wins championships and the Dodgers entered the postseason with one of the weakest staffs in 50 years. If you think a staff with old and injured

We've made it. The Dodgers open their National League Division Series on Saturday night against the Arizona Dbacks at Dodger Stadium. The Dbacks finished with just 84 regular season wins, but snuck in as a fifth seeded wild card. They swept the Brewers to advance to the NLDS. The Dodgers

The Dodgers have done it again folks. They’ve snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The 2022 Dodgers that won 111 games, and ranked as one of the best in history are officially eliminated from the postseason after losing to the San Diego Padres in the National League Division series

I’m so disgusted with this team, it’s hard to find the words here. The Dodgers demonstrated some of the most pathetic and pitiful offense in recent memory, losing game 3 of their NLDS to the Padres at Petco Park 2-1 on Friday night. Except they have demonstrated this before in
