The Major League Baseball all-star game is done slightly different these days. The way the rosters are built is not the same as it was years ago. The MLB all-star rosters for the July 17th midsummer classic at Washington D.C. were announced this afternoon. We learned that only two Dodgers

The Dodgers rebounded from a tough stupid loss on Friday with a 3-1 win over the Angels to even the Freeway Series on Fox Saturday baseball amidst sweltering heat conditions in Southern California. It wasn’t the heat coming from the sun, but from the golden right arm of Ross Stripling who stifled

The fireworks started early at Dodger Stadium this holiday season. The Dodgers hit ten home runs in their three game series against the bucks. They also scored 32 runs in the series off a beleaguered Pittsburgh staff. They didn't hit any long balls on the fourth of July, but still

Ping, Ping, Ping! These sounds echoed throughout the night at Dodger Stadium as they routed the Pittsburgh Pirates 17-1, in what seemed to be a never-ending day of batting practice.

I never thought I would see the day when the Dodgers would play an entire game void of anything to complain about. I didn’t think it was possible in this season, but gosh darnit the Dodgers certainly did that in Monday evening’s 17-1 whitewashing of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates

At least once a year, the Dodger Stadium marketing team offers up some type of chotchke that I absolutely, positively must have. My Dodgers collectibles showcase already has more than enough bobbleheads, so it was pretty easy for me to resist this year's crop. Then I saw it. I didn't even

The Dodgers bats went silent for the 2nd night in a row against the Rockies Cy Young pitchers. This time German Marquez faced Kenta Maeda. Marquez would go on to dominate the Dodgers and the Dodgers fall below .500 at home. The action for this game didn't start until the
