The Dodgers lost again in Philadelphia on Wednesday evening by a score of 7-5. They’ve now lost four in a row and continue to be awful with no end in sight to this current suckfest. They’ve been terrible for a month now and I just don’t see anything changing anytime

Chances are, Pedro Baez sealed his 2017 fate in his abysmal outing last night against the Philadelphia Phillies. Baez's 2/3 of an inning was a microcosm of his season: There was frustration and angst mixed with flashes of hope. Dave Roberts, his manager, faithfully stuck with him through all of

At this point I’m over it. The Dodgers are going to clinch the division at some point over the next 11 or games but that doesn’t mean they’re World Series ready and it doesn’t even mean they are postseason ready. Because right now they can’t beat the worst teams in

Whew! What a season it's been for the Dodgers and their fans, and we still have a couple of weeks to go. This roller coaster season has been full of surprises - especially the kind that no one could have seen coming. The crazy, record-breaking winning streaks followed by a

The Philadelphia Phillies are one of the worst teams in baseball. They have a 59-91 record after tonight’s game and one of the worst starting pitchers on the mound in the series opener. The pitching match-up was Clayton Kershaw against Nick Pivetta. So let me set the stage for you.

You know this was a winnable game until the Dodgers brought in the middle relievers in the fifth inning again. The game was at least within reach but when you’re forced to use a parade of middle relievers starting with Ross Stripling in the fifth inning then you get what

It looks like the Dodgers have their swagger back as they defeated the Nationals 3-2 to win their fourth consecutive game. The one-run victory gives them a series win and pushes the boys in blue to seven games in front of the Nationals for the top spot in the National

The Dodgers are certainly an interesting club wrapped up in an enigma. For three weeks they lost almost every game. They lost in many different ways. Some days they hardly showed up and were blown out. On other days the bats went cold and on other days the starting pitchers

As the Dodgers fly into Washington D.C. to begin a three game weekend series they’re enjoying a rare day off on Thursday. The schedule has been brutal for the Dodgers who have played the majority of their games over the last month on the road. August saw the Dodgers home

The Dodgers are seemingly back to their winning ways, and that is thanks to Yu Darvish stepping up big against the hated ones. After pitching so lousy that talk of Darvish slipping downward in the Dodgers' postseason pitching plans began to swirl, the ex-ace showed signs tonight that he's still

We witness miracles rarely, but tonight on Tuesday September 12, 2017 (The year of our lord) we witnessed one. The clouds parted, the skies opened up and the oceans rumbled. Birds sang and soared through the night. The traffic on the 405 came to a halt. The Dodgers finally won

It's my job to observe and comment. I'm tasked with analyzing and opining. I'm a guy who loves to talk and write about baseball, but this team has left me speechless. How does one describe the worst slide in the history of a franchise? When it immediately follows the most

Dear Dodgers, I've been your fan since the days that my only knowledge of you was hearing the not so far away cheers from the stadium as I played in Elysian Park when I was a child. If you put a drop of Tommy Lasorda's Dodger Blue blood next to a

There are three things you can count on this life. Those three things are death, taxes, and the Dodgers losing in the first inning of a baseball game. That happened yet again on Sunday afternoon as the Dodgers lost their tenth consecutive game to the Rockies 8-1. The Dodgers continue

The Dodgers found another way to lose on Saturday night. Alex Wood gave up runs early, and the defense wasn't sharp. The offense is starting to show life and the bullpen has been solid lately. Instead of Dave Roberts worrying about why fans are booing Pedro Baez. Roberts needs to
