The apologists should be out in full force on this one. Oh the excuses they will make. They’ll say that it’s early and to be patient. They’ll ask you to tip your cap to Clayton Richard (Clayton Richard!!!) because he pitched a great game. They’ll tell you that the Dodgers

Were you at the game yesterday? Did you watch at home or in a sports bar surrounded by fellow Dodger fans? Did you jump up from your chair (like I did), or yell out loud inside your car when Joc Pederson hit that grand slam? If you missed yesterday's exciting Opening

You know if the Dodgers were somehow able to win the World Series on opening day, they would have seven additional championships by now. Monday afternoon’s win now gives them seven consecutive wins on opening day, and third consecutive opening day win over the Padres. It always helps when you

The results today didn’t matter and the Dodgers certainly played like the results didn’t matter. On Vin Scully’s final day the Dodgers did not give him the win that he deserved. The Dodgers had already decided that these final week of games are worthless and not important. So they played

Today marks the final game of the regular season between the Dodgers and the Giants and also marks the final game of Vin Scully’s brilliant career. We’re witnessing the end of an era and it’s sad. Dodger baseball may never be the same and I think I can speak for

Vin Scully only has one more game to call in his professional career, and he was the only reason to keep watching this game. He called a better game than the Dodgers played, as the team blew a chance to knock the Giants out of playoff position, losing 3-0 to,

My god Brandon McCarthy is bad. The Dodger’s “experiment” of using the tall veteran right hander as a reliever failed miserably in Friday evening’s 9-3 loss to the Giants in the opening game of the final three game series. McCarthy allowed 6 runs and was unable to retire a single batter

It's the final series of the 2016 campaign, pitting the NL West Champion Dodgers against the wildcard-seeking Giants. "Don't look at me" Madison Bumgarner was also seeking his 100th career win.

The Dodgers are on the verge of being swept by the lowly Padres and only rookie phenom Julio Urias stands in the way from keeping the club from suffering such an embarrassment. These final few games may seem meaningless after the club clinched the NL West title, but they are

The Dodgers dropped to two games behind the Nationals in the fight for home-field advantage in the playoffs after losing last night, with the number of chances to gain ground dwindling. Tonight it was Jose De Leon's chance to bring the Dodgers closer to their final goal of the regular

The post clinch celebration hangover hit the Dodgers hard yesterday as they suffered a 7-1 loss in the opening game against the Padres. That’s probably to be expected. Other than home field advantage in the NLDS these games are pretty meaningless for them. Of course as I was on my return

As much as some of us may have wanted the season to end on the dramatic, division-clinching note from Sunday's game at Dodger Stadium, there remains a weeks worth of baseball left to play. The Dodgers traveled to San Diego and opened a three-game series against the Padres, with Kenta
