A Kershaw-less Kershaw Game
September 18th, 2012 at 4:01 am by Ron Cervenka Everyone will forever remember that it was John Ely who suffered the painful 5-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in Sunday’s marathon 12-inning matinee at Dodger Stadium – this in spite of Hanley Ramirez’s ridiculously weak (and late) toss to second baseman Nick Punto that allowed a still salvageable one-run game to get completely out of reach on what […]

No Diving
September 17th, 2012 at 8:37 am by Ron Cervenka “That can’t be right,” I remember thinking to myself when I first heard it. “That has to be a mistake.” I was listening to Dodger Talk on the radio while driving home from the Ravine after yet another dismal Dodgers loss. “Hanley Ramirez has yet to dive for a ball since joining the Dodgers,” the […]

Luis Cruz – The Gift that Keeps on Giving
September 16th, 2012 at 8:32 am by Ron Cervenka If the Dodgers somehow… somehow make it into the post season, it won’t be because of Dodgers superstar sluggers Matt Kemp or Andre Ethier; and it won’t be because of recently acquired superstars Hanley Ramirez, Adrian Gonzalez or the thus far unseen Carl Crawford. No, if the Dodgers somehow manage to limp into the 2012 […]

Kershaw Likely to miss Sunday Start – Kemp to Remain in Line-up Despite Struggles
September 15th, 2012 at 8:40 am by Ron Cervenka Defending Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw will most likely miss his scheduled start on Sunday due to the same hip issues that forced him to miss his start last Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. Even though Kershaw felt ok the day after his subsequent start this past Tuesday against the D-backs, he reportedly […]

Lilly to be Shut Down – Off-Season Surgery Likely
September 14th, 2012 at 5:36 pm by Ron Cervenka Although it should come as no surprise to anyone, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly confirmed on Friday afternoon that health-troubled lefty Ted Lilly has been completely shut down for the remainder of the season and will most likely face off-season surgery on his left shoulder. Lilly, who has been on the disabled list since May 28 […]

Down on the Farm – Player Profile: Onelki Garcia
September 14th, 2012 at 7:03 am by Harold Uhlman The 2012 Dodger draft was an interesting one for sure. We deviated from a long standing tradition of drafting a pitcher first, selected two eighteen year old infielders as our first selections, both listed as shortstops, drafted a relief pitcher third and a young man who had defected from Cuba as our fourth selection. The […]

Steven “Paco” Rodriguez is Here to Stay
September 13th, 2012 at 2:09 pm by Ron Cervenka At a time when there isn’t much good news coming out of the Dodgers camp, it’s good to see that there is at least some – even if it may be too little too late. As has been well documented over on the ThinkBlueLA forum by Harold Uhlman (Bluenose Dodger), left-handed pitcher Steven “Paco” Rodriguez […]

Down on the Farm – Ross Stripling
September 13th, 2012 at 5:00 am by Harold Uhlman The 2012 First Year Player Draft was an interesting one for the Dodgers. There were some surprises and perhaps some puzzlers. It was definitely not a surprise that we selected Corey Seager in the first round as it made perfect sense to go after a power hitting infielder. Our minor league strength was in pitching […]
