Pennant fever has swept across southern California and the only known cure is more Dodger Baseball. The Dodgers are on fire and playing the best stretch of baseball we’ve seen in some time. As a matter of fact over the last 50 games the Dodgers are 36-14 which is the

Pardon me while I try to type this and dodge the firebombs and peanut shells coming at me from all directions. I know I brought it upon myself. To suggest anyone other than the sacred Kershaw should start a monumentally important Dodger game is the highest offense possible. It's blue

Opposing fans in stadiums around the country love to "Boo" Yasiel Puig when he comes up to bat. There are other Dodgers who do more to win games on the road, more often than Puig, but for some reason, fans in those other cities just love to aim vocal missiles

Maybe you noticed Enrique Hernandez, the Banana Kid, making a fashion statement with the home whites at Dodger Stadium. Kike rocked the tight pants last night, and he ripped a solo home run against the Reds in last night's game. Will the home run pants be back tonight? Or were they

Last year the Dodgers were the worst team in baseball against left handed pitching. So management decided to sit almost every one of their regulars when a southpaw was on the mound. The lineups they put out on those days consisted of most of their bench players and backups. Utility

We’re getting later into the season and the trade deadline fury will be upon us sooner than we think. The pitching market is already starting to develop and as you would have thought the Dodgers will likely be major players in such potential dealing. Don’t get me wrong here, the

2017 has been a tale of two seasons so far for the LA Dodgers. Overall, the return in a long stretch of divisional games is poor. Having won the National League Western Division for the past four years, expectations were high. Results suggest that complacency was as well. 33 games so

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

The Dodgers begin a three game set with the Cardinals on Tuesday afternoon. The pitching match-up for the first game will have Lance Lynn battling Clayton Kershaw. Mike Leake will take on Rich Hill in the second game, and Michael Wacha is scheduled to counter Kenta Maeda who will be

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

Brilliant is the word used to describe the Dodger’s signing of Brandon McCarthy by some pundits and analysts. Moneyball fan boys and protectors of Andrew Friedman’s wallets hailed the move as genius. The Dodgers had signed McCarthy to a 4-year 48 million dollar contract during the winter of 2014 and

They say when a door closes, a window opens. Yesterday the stoic Butter and Eggs Man, Adrian Gonzalez, stepped off the field and on the disabled list for the first time in his career. However, fans of Gonzalez weren't too sad for too long, because Cody Bellinger stepped right into place

I thought it was pretty hilarious when Oscar called Adrian Gonzalez a file cabinet. Well the Dodgers finally placed the file cabinet on the disabled list as they activated Joc Pederson from the 10-day disabled list before their three game series in San Diego. Of course it’s important to remember that

We all know it. We can all see it. I know the Dodgers can see it. After going 0 for 4 at the plate and failing to stop a ball that sparked San Francisco's winning rally last night, I think Adrian can see it himself, as well. The writing is on

The Dodgers optioned Scott Van Slyke to make room for fellow outfielder Franklin Gutierrez who was activated from the disabled list on Tuesday afternoon. Gutierrez was battling a hamstring injury and the Dodgers needed roster space. So they bid adieu to Van Slyke. The move definitely made sense. As I

The 2017 season is about a month old and so far it’s been one long month of suck for the Dodgers. The club is now 10-12 after losing to the Giants on Wednesday night in extra innings and have yet to win their second series of the season. Let me
