The big news today is not the show of offense last night or the pending visit of the NL East leading Nationals. The big news right now is the expansion of rosters for the stretch run. This is welcome news to a lot of Dodger fans. With the bullpen struggling and key hitters slumping, it’s […]
What a week! Greinke gets shelled. Kershaw shows he’s human, but the team picks him up. Dan Haren doesn’t need any picking up at all while throwing seven scoreless innings! Baseball, huh? I may not know what tonight has in store for us, but I do know that I look forward to what you have […]
After a bizarre ending and Dodger victory last night, it’s time to start a new streak. Mattingly will put the ball in Dan Haren’s hand to keep up the winning ways. Can the team help lift him up if he stumbles? I sure hope so. Oh, and it’s Carl Crawford’s birthday! Watching all the social […]
(5:36 pm eastern) Update: I'm told the bubble machine will be back in #Dodgers dugout tonight. — Bill Shaikin (@BillShaikin) August 6, 2014 (original post) At this point, it may only be rumor, but several sources on social media are reporting that Bud Selig, Commissioner of Baseball and Decommissioner of Fun, has pulled the plug […]
Here we go again. Which Dodgers team will show up tonight? The club that struggled against the hapless Cubs and looked like the Bad News Bears against the Angels? Or will it be the team that ran the table against the Giants and Braves. I know which one I’d like to see. If anyone has […]
Post game note: Embarrassing. Live to fight another day. See you tomorrow! Will Zack Greinke help get the Dodgers’ rotation back on track? Can the team create the kind of offense that will be needed to keep up with Mike Trout and the Angels? After the disappointing series with the Cubs, can this team play […]
Post game note: Ugh. I know you can’t win them all, but do you have to lose like this? Doesn’t it seem like we were just here!?! It’s only been about 13 ½ hours since I wrapped up the last Best of Social! But it’s Sunday and that means we get a great afternoon game. Tonight’s […]
Post game note: Good grief… five hours to take down the Cubbies in 12 innings. Some great tweets and pictures from some great fans and a lot of ninja turtle masks on a special promo night. Special thanks to Hanley Ramirez for letting me go to bed and to @dannahyer for this tweet to cap […]
Post game note: Best part about that game… it’s over. Put the ball in Ryu’s hand and hope the Dodgers find their feet again. Another night at home in Chavez Ravine. The Braves are gone, but here come the Cubs. After three great games that showed the Dodgers finding ways to win in ways that […]
It’s a good time to be a Dodger fan. Seems every night they take the field, something amazing happens – so often, though, that it’s easy to take for granted. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to create this blog – to celebrate the moments that should have time to be appreciated. Last night, […]
