The 2013 season was arguably one of the greatest and most exciting in the 130-year history of the Dodgers franchise – especially from June 22 on. During that historic run (which actually began on June 3 when Yasiel Puig was called up from the minor leagues) there were many great moments and it is difficult to pick […]

I guess we all kind of suspected that it might end this way, in spite of all of our wishing, hoping and praying – Matt Kemp is out for the entire post-season. Nobody wanted it to end this way, least of all Matt Kemp, but it is as if his destiny for the 2013 season […]

If you ever played baseball or even softball and fouled a ball off of your foot or ankle, you know how painful that is. But even the mere thought of doing it twice off of the exact same spot in consecutive at bats brings tears to your eyes. Such was the case for Yasiel Puig […]

Prior to Friday evening’s 11-0 blowout game between the Dodgers and Rockies in which Dodger lefty Clayton Kershaw undoubtedly secured his second Cy Young Award in three years, another Dodger lefty became the topic of discussion during the sixth annual ‘Blogger’s Night’ when Dodger general manager Ned Colletti was asked which was more important for […]

When Clayton Kershaw came out of Friday night’s game after pitching 6 scoreless innings in his last regular season game of 2013, he did so with an MLB-best 1.83 ERA and all but guaranteed himself his second NL Cy Young Award in the last three seasons. He also became the first Dodger to post a sub-2.00 […]

Michael Young is a professional hitter – at least so says Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins and Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro. Heck, even Dodger general manager Ned Colletti says so. “He’s a professional hitter in a lot of ways,” said the Dodger GM shortly before the deal was finalized only minutes before the August 31 […]

Dodger left-hander Clayton Kershaw has been named the winner of the eighth annual Roy Campanella Award, which is given to the Dodger player who best exemplifies the spirit and leadership of the late Hall of Fame catcher. The award, which was voted upon by Dodger uniform personnel, will be presented to Kershaw by Campanella’s daughter, […]

It was the ultimate Cinderella story – a big league player who grew up as a die-hard Dodger fan in the shadows of Dodger Stadium is suddenly traded from a perennial last place team to his hometown Dodgers, who are playoff-bound. It was a dream almost too good to be true for the 30-year-old Corona […]

The Giants have only themselves to blame for not re-signing Brian Wilson earlier this season – the same Brian Wilson who was instrumental in bringing the first-ever World Series trophy to the City by the Bay. The same Brian Wilson who once topped radar guns at 102 MPH and who saved 171 of the 238 […]

In all likelihood, Dodger manager Don Mattingly will have four starters on his post-season roster – three who will actually start and the fourth as the long man out of the bullpen. With the recent struggles of Ricky Nolasco, Hyun-jin Ryu, Stephen Fife and Chris Capuano and the recent success of Edinson Volquez, who would […]
