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

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”?

It's really happening. Go ahead and let yourself believe - just like the hopeless optimists believe every season - this could be the year.

About three weeks ago I wrote an article declaring I would start Alex Wood over Clayton Kershaw in a game for all the marbles. Although Kershaw has improved his standing with me, namely by stopping his trend of giving up way too many homers, Mr. Wood has done nothing that

Fireworks, barbeques, hamburgers and Dodger baseball for the win. There’s nothing more patriotic than a Dodger win on Independence Day. So the Dodgers obliged America by defeating the Dbacks 4-3 to take a commanding 3.5 game lead in the NL West. The Dodgers barely hung on after taking a 4-0

Horrendous pitching from Kenta Maeda and the Dodger bats left hundreds of men on base spelled defeat for the Dodgers in San Diego as they dropped the series finale to the Padres 5-3. Maeda regressed back to being horrible as he allowed five earned runs on eight hits across 3.2

The Dodgers feasted on new-comer Dillon Overton of the Padres making his major league debut. Rich Hill also feasted the Padres hitters as the Dodgers breezed to 8-0 win and continued their attack on the MLB as more home-runs commenced. Maybe the Dodgers were upset that Dave Roberts was suspended

It was interesting to see how the Dodgers would rebound after Wednesday evening’s throwing debacle loss in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Dodgers ended up just returning to do what they do best, that is hitting baseballs over the fence. Clayton Kershaw won his National league leading twelfth
