Although doubleheaders aren’t all that uncommon for teams located on the East Coast and Midwest regions of our great country because of summertime thunderstorms (and an occasional hurricane), they are quite rare for us out here on the Left Coast; and I have to admit that I am actually quite excited about today’s twin bill.

Come on Guys, Let’s Get Real Here
September 19th, 2012 at 6:54 am 
by Ron Cervenka This is nonsense. Why are the Dodgers even considering allowing Clayton Kershaw to pitch again this season? The guy is hurt, for crying out loud. Not just sore, not just feeling the effects of a long and grueling season, but hurt, genuinely hurt, hip impingement hurt; and hip injuries are nothing to screw around with. Remember a guy named […]

Farewell Jon Weisman
September 19th, 2012 at 3:00 am by Ron Cervenka As I normally do before shutting down the computer for the night (or early morning as is usually the case – including tonight), I made one last run through a few of the more popular Dodger blog sites. Upon doing so, I stumbled upon one of those posts that you dread seeing. No, it wasn’t a […]

Six Years Ago Today
September 18th, 2012 at 5:05 pm by Ron Cervenka With tonight’s game rained out in our Nation’s Capital, what better time to kick back, relax and enjoy what happened on September 18, 2006. It is one of the most memorable games in Dodgers history.

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 […]
