As we all know, a spot on a major league team’s 25-man roster is a very sacred and coveted place – after all, there are only 750 of them in all of baseball. We also know that baseball waits for no man and is a game of opportunity; not just the game itself but for […]

Although Dodger manager Don Mattingly never came right out and said it, there is little doubt that he had lost some confidence in struggling right-hander Brandon League. In fact, just prior to the All-Star break Mattingly said that he would only use his former closer in non-pressure situations – games in which the Dodgers either led […]

Sunday was a long day for the Dodgers – a very long day. Some of the 48,621 in attendance had left but most remained. What had started out as a blazing fast pitchers’ duel ended up becoming a near four-hour marathon. Through 10 innings not one Dodgers or Reds player had stepped on home plate. Reds pitchers had […]

With several sources reporting that the Biogenesis suspensions will be handed down later this week, baseball general managers are frantically trying to set up contingency plans in the event that the suspensions will affect their teams. In spite of MLB’s and the MLBPA’s hopes that leaks would be avoided, they have not. As expected, topping […]

What was the most viewed pitch in baseball history? Was it the pitch to Barry Bonds that he hit for his 756th career home run to break Hank Aaron’s all-time home run record (with an asterisk, of course)? Was it the final pitch of Game-6 of the 2011 World Series considered by many to be […]

There isn’t a member of the Dodger team who didn’t like Ted Lilly. He was also well liked by fans who got to know him and interact with him every day at Dodger Stadium during batting practice. But the cold hard fact is that Lilly had taken his 3-year/$33 million contract as far as he […]

Anyone who was at Thursday night’s game at Dodger Stadium undoubtedly noticed that the team appeared to be a bit flat. It wasn’t something that was blatantly obvious and if you were watching the game on TV you might not have even noticed it. It was one of those things that you just sort of […]

When the Dodgers signed second baseman Mark Ellis to a two-year/$8.75 million contract in 2012, they did so primarily for his defense. After all, the 36-year-old real life ‘Money Ball’ star has had one of the best fielding percentages in all of baseball for the past decade and was clearly robbed of a Gold Glove […]

It’s hard to argue that Tuesday night’s game wasn’t among the most exciting games of the year for the Dodgers. I mean, when was the last time you can remember the Dodgers coming back from an 8-3 deficit to win? And while starter Chris Capuano and reliever Carlos Marmol tried their very best to bring […]

Yep, I’m one of them. I’m one of the many Dodger fans who threw my towel in back in May. It was the earliest I have ever given up on the only team I have ever supported. And though I continued to support them and root for them while attending every Dodger home game (and […]
