This video clip ran in the L.A. Times on Thursday and it is simply too incredible not to share: Dodger Players Honor Vin Scully “He knows things about me that I don’t even know about myself.” – Matt Kemp Priceless.

(Read More)MVP Lost? – Maybe Not
It’s simple really. Cold, painfully, depressingly simple. Matt Kemp will not be the 2012 NL MVP. Matt Kemp will not go 50-50 or even 40-40 this season. Matt Kemp probably will not play in the 2012 All-Start Game and he more than likely will not win a Gold Glove or a Silver Slugger award this […]
(Read More)Kemp Re-injures Hamstring – Return to DL Imminent
In only his second game back from the disabled list, Dodger center fielder re-injured his left hamstring while running from first to home on an Andre Ethier double. An extremely disappointed Kemp told members of the media that he felt the hamstring go after rounding second base but managed to scored when Brewers center field […]
(Read More)Mattingly Shakes Up Batting Order
Dodger manager Don Mattingly made several adjustments to his line-up for Wednesday night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers, some anticipated, some not so much.

I have to admit that when Kennedy, who also managed in the Dodgers minor league system, first added this segment to […]

In fact, during Scully’s incredible 63-year career with the organization, the humble legend has declined numerous […]
(Read More)Down on the Farm – Quakes Crack the Nuts
I know… I know… it’s a dumb title and one that has undoubtedly been used countless times, but what else can you say about a 12-2 shellacking, which is what the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes did to the Modesto Nuts (Rockies) on Monday afternoon. The Quakes collected 16 hits on the day with every Quakes player in […]
(Read More)Dodgers Place Lilly on 15-Day Disabled List – Call Eovaldi Up from Chattanooga
The Dodgers have placed left-handed pitcher Ted Lilly on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to May 24) with left shoulder inflammation and recalled left-hander Michael Antonini to fill Lilly’s roster spot as a possible long reliever for Monday evening’s game, but he was not needed. The Dodgers then (apparently) sent Antonini back to Triple-A Albuquerque […]
