Maligned Dodgers Redeemed in Thrilling 13th Inning Victory

Dave Roberts is Sticking With Matt Kemp

Doc Goes Against The Grain
As much as Dodger fans would like to be reading about how Kenley Jansen returned this week and saved the bullpen, everyone knows by now that’s not what happened. Jansen lost two games when entering in the 9th inning, each in a tie game, and blew a lead over the

Scott Alexander Ruins Another Game For Dodgers, Wastes Kershaw’s Gem
I’m almost at a loss for words. The Dodger’s bullpen misery continued on Monday evening as Scott Alexander once again deconstructed on the mound allowing the Giants to score four runs in the top of the ninth to erase what was a 2-1 Dodger lead handing the Dodgers their fourth

I've never seen a Dodgers pitching staff bitten by bad luck and injury as this one. Tonight Kenta Maeda joined the club as the latest starter to leave a mound surrounded by trainers, coaches and groans of misery from the dodgers faithful. Unable to complete the second inning, Maeda was lifted

You know how $1 dollar Dodger Dogs sounds like a good idea at first? You feel happy and good and munch on a whole buncha dogs, because they're only a buck, right? Then, around the 6th inning, you start to lose that hot dog glow, and everything just kinda sits
