Monday night’s Pirates/Dodgers match-up was kismit in the making. Before the game I wrote this article because we weren’t sure if scheduled starter Brandon McCarthy was going to be able to start after we discovered that he suffered a dislocated non-pitching shoulder injury over training in the weight room. McCarthy was originally

It was a west coast style run scoring party at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night which led to the Dodger’s 13-5 pummeling of the Giants to even their three game series at one game each. The Dodgers were originally down 4-0 after the second inning after Alex Wood exploded. In

The Los Angeles Dodgers befuddle me. I don't mean I disagree with some of their decisions. I'm not talking about the minutia of pitch counts or whether or not a strategic bunt is necessary at a particular time. I mean they make decisions that absolutely defy logic, common sense and

The 2017 season is about a month old and so far it’s been one long month of suck for the Dodgers. The club is now 10-12 after losing to the Giants on Wednesday night in extra innings and have yet to win their second series of the season. Let me

The Dodgers will welcome the Rockies into town tonight as they close out the home stand with a two game series against Colorado. The Dodgers got a split with Arizona after losing the last two games of the series in the same pathetic way they lose most of their games. The offense

I would love to take responsibility for the Dodger’s latest loss on Monday night, after I screwed up the pregame the other day by arrogantly proclaiming a Dodger sweep. I had mistakenly forgotten that this series was a four-game wrap around and not a three-game set. Alas I can’t take all the

So the B-team did alright in Saturday night’s rousing 8-4 win over the snakes. Kike Hernandez had the game of his life, doubling, scoring a run and making two fine defensive plays. The Dodgers scored five of their eight runs off a lefty and the bullpen was fantastic bailing out yet another

The Dodgers defeated the Snakes 8-4 on Jackie Robinson night scoring 5 runs off a lefty and stopping the usual story of the club being unable to hit lefties. Well, at least for tonight. The new Jackie Robinson statue was unveiled before the game in the reserved level during an

The Dodgers certainly had a productive day on Thursday afternoon’s series finale against the Padres. The Dodgers defeated San Diego by a 10-2 score as Yasiel Puig homered twice and Brandon McCarthy turned in a quality start. Everybody contributed. Corey Seager went 2 for 3 with 2 runs batted in. Puig drove

Thursday afternoon’s 10-2 Dodger win was quite a game, and not just because Yasiel Puig blasted two monster home runs, or Brandon McCarthy tossed 6 innings of two-run ball. It wasn’t even because Corey Seager notched two more hits. Nope, the incredible event happened in the bottom of the sixth when

I always like to keep an optimistic outlook, but prepare for the worst. Perhaps that’s what the Dodgers are doing with wonder kid Corey Seager’s latest oblique injury. The club has so many injuries from day-to-day that it can be hard to diagnose or determine timelines for return. Initially Seager’s

Nobody likes to be negative, but as a writer I have the responsibility to bring all of you the truth, no matter how non-positive that may be. One undeniable truth is that every season there are several players in spring training and during the regular season that make the Dodger

The Dodgers had a remarkable season in 2016. Despite being unable to win a National League pennant and that nasty World Series drought reaching 29 years and counting, the Dodgers still had an incredible season for all accounts. The club set the record for most players on a disabled list,
