2013 Season Already Under Way for Dodgers Brass (part-1)
October 5th, 2012 at 6:48 am by Ron Cervenka (Part one of a three-part series) Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, general manager Ned Colletti and president and CEO Stan Kasten met with reporters on Thursday afternoon in what could be described as a kickoff press conference for the 2013 season.

Herrera Walk-off Keeps Dodgers Playoff Hopes Alive for Another Day
October 2nd, 2012 at 1:44 am by Ron Cervenka The Dodgers playoff hopes remain alive, albeit by a thread, thanks to a bottom of the 9th one-out, bases loaded single by Dodgers left fielder Elian Herrera off the glove of Giants second baseman Marcos Scutaro, as the Dodgers beat the Giants 3-2 before a small but lively crowd of 33,624 at Dodger Stadium on […]
