Dodgers vs Padres. Game Two. The returns of Adrian Gonzalez and Matt Kemp. Exciting stuff. Alex "Who knows which way he'll bend?" Wood on the mound. Exciting in an entirely different way. Cut to the third inning: 3rd inning Padres Alex Wood strikes out the side. It looked like Strudy Wood was on, as

All of the good feelings from Justin Turner’s two-run eighth inning go-ahead home run were immediately erased when Kenley Jansen chose a horribly bad time to have his first blown save of the season leading to the Dodger’s 7-6 loss to the Padres on Friday evening. The good thoughts were

Wednesday night’s 8-1 loss to the Angels was a total disaster. Mike Bolsinger pitched ok, but the Dodger’s defense in conjunction with their subpar relief pitching did them in during that fifth inning meltdown. The offense was as useless as ever, scoring just the one run and doing virtually nothing else. Does

The Freeway Series shifted to Anaheim and saw the return of Mike Bolsinger to the Dodgers' starting rotation. Manager Dave Roberts was hoping to get 5 or 6 innings out of Bolsinger, and give the rest of the Dodgers' starters an extra day off. Too bad Roberts didn't wish for some
