Post game note: Another painful game to watch, but made worthwhile by the intense drama in the bottom of the ninth. I really enjoyed watching Joc Pederson’s final at bat and wasn’t overly disappointed at the result. Good lessons learned, but I like the way he stood in there. In my house there is one […]
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 […]
After a string of agonizing, embarrassing games against the Cubs and a heartbreaking, humiliating pummeling by the Angels, it was sure nice to see a Dodger victory last night. And I did actually get to see it, courtesy of MLB network. One of the best things about a big win, is reading all of the […]
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 […]
As you lucky West Coast Dodger fans are sleeping comfortably, those of us on the opposite coast that stuck it out to the end are tired. Damn tired. But now so tired that I can’t continue to revel in last night’s big win. Just like I said about the previous game, these are the games […]
Post Game Note: Damn. Welcome back, Matt Kemp. Time for bed. That win last night had me smiling all day. That was really something. The Braves are a team that I was always surrounded by as a kid growing up in the Southeast. So, I’ve always been a bit more anxious when the Dodgers play […]
