It seems like I owe Brock Stewart a huge apology. I thought he was going to get hammered by the Cubs in the Dodger’s 1-0 win on Sunday afternoon. The kid stepped up to the plate and gave the Dodgers 5 shutout frames. His stuff was dazzling and the Dodgers eked

The Dodgers opened a weekend series with the 81-win Chicago Cubs tonight. To show just how serious they were taking the juggernaut Cubbies, they sent Bud Norris to the mound, and gave starts to Kiké Enrique Hernandez, the Traded Flop, and the newest Dodger, Carlos Ruiz. Yay? 1st inning Norris quickly found

After much anticipation, trepidation, and just plain impatience from the Dodgers Nation, Rich Hill's infamous blister finally healed, and he took the mound tonight at Chavez Ravine. It was a heck of a request to ask Hill to make his Dodgers debut by facing the Giants in this tough NL
