It certainly didn’t take very long for the Dodgers to revert right back to their old ways of following a winning streak with a losing streak, did it? After winning five straight (which seems to be their limit), including a three-game sweep of the .500 Mets and starting off a four-game series against the streaky […]

I can honestly say that the news that Hanley Ramirez had been acquired by the Dodgers this morning didn’t really come as a total surprise to me. In fact, he’s been on my radar for about two years now… as a shortstop, not as a third baseman. But in the same breath, I can also honestly say that […]

“There is no sense in crying over spilled milk.” It is perhaps one of the first clichés we heard as kids, probably well before we even knew what a cliché was. Although as kids, it was undoubtedly more a fact of life – spilled milk, that is. Over the past six or eight weeks, you have […]

For forty years, four decades, there were three certainties in life: death, taxes and the Dodgers making it to the World Series two or three times in each of those decades. You just knew that you wouldn’t have to wait many years for another appearance in the big show. Then, along came the nineties and […]

Without question, Sunday afternoon’s 8-3 win in 12 innings was one of the most exciting games of the season (well, for me, at least).

Ok, I admit it… I was a bit flattered by it all. My daughter Christina, my dear friend Will Isabella (Truebluewill) and I arrived at Citi Field in New York for the first of three Dodgers/Mets games on Friday afternoon. It had rained pretty hard throughout most of the day and to be quite honest, […]

Anybody who has known me for more than ten minutes knows that my all-time favorite Dodger is Hall of Famer Don Drysdale. Why, you ask? Because Don always played the game the right way. He was intimidating… even feared, yet he was as loyal to his teammates and to the Dodger organization as anyone could […]

Have you ever had a long distance romance? I have, on two occasions. The first didn’t have a very successful ending as it suffered from all of the pitfalls of being separated by 2400 miles. The letters, the phone calls, the rare visit were not enough to sustain the relationship for two young people. The […]

To trade or not to trade, that is the question. Will our Dodgers make a trade, maybe even more than one? The July trade deadline is rapidly approaching. Each day I check the blogs, the mainline sports sites, the newspapers, the rumor mills, for any news of a Dodger trade. I wait with baited breath […]
