I’m lovin’ it and I’m not talking about a Big Mac. I’m talking about the pure, unadulterated satisfaction and enjoyment that I am getting in watching San Francisco Giants fans suffer in anguish as their team is crashing and burning. I know that the Good book says that we’re not supposed to hate anyone or […]

(Part three of a three-part series) Stan Kasten is a people person – he absolutely loves people and it shows. The Dodgers president and CEO is, hands down, the most visible member of the Guggenheim Baseball Management Group and very approachable. While Earvin “Magic” Johnson may be ‘the face of the franchise’ and clearly the […]

(Part two of a three-part series) Throughout the course of the 2012 season (and seasons past), I have probably called Ned Colletti every name in the book. “You did what? You traded Rubby De La Rosa, Nathan Eovaldi, Josh Lindblom, Jerry Sands, Leon Landry, Allen Webster and Logan Bawcom? You’re an idiot!” I mean, nobody […]

This must be a nervous time for the coaching staffs on major league baseball teams. The regular season has ended with only five teams in each league now having a shot at winning it all.

And while it may seem a bit unusual that it took place less than 24 […]

It’s a pretty safe bet that nearly every Dodger blogger woke up on Thursday morning with a mindset to write some type of “Year in Review” article (or “the Dodgers obituary” as J.P Hoornstra jokingly called it); I mean, what else are they going to write about. In fact, aside from bloggers covering the 10 teams still […]

As anticipated, the final game of the season at Dodger Stadium was a bittersweet. There was a definite melancholy feel about the place, this in spite of the Dodgers pounding the Giants (I love saying that) by a score of 5-1. High-5’s and hugs were abundant and it is very clear that this is one big […]
