Leave it to the great Vin Scully to say what nobody else wants to say but what everybody is thinking. “These are not the Dodgers that went 53-17. These are the Dodgers of May.” As usual, the Hall of Fame broadcaster was spot on with his assessment of the September Dodgers, which he shared with […]

DOTF – Credit where due – Congratulations to the Inland Empire 66ers
September 17th, 2013 at 5:59 am 
by Ron Cervenka Let me make this perfectly clear right from the start – I am not an Angels fan and haven’t been since the Autry family sold the franchise, and this includes their minor league affiliates. In fact, there is nothing that I enjoy more than watching the Dodgers beat the Angels in interleague play (well, except […]

Will Matt Kemp be the Dodgers lifesaver?
September 16th, 2013 at 9:56 am by Ron Cervenka With the Dodgers lineup currently resembling a M.A.S.H. unit, news yesterday that Matt Kemp would be at Chase Field prior to tonight’s series opener against the second place Arizona Diamondbacks was welcomed news. And even though Kemp’s reactivation from the disabled list will be determined on how his running and other baseball drills go today, […]

From disclaimer to dilemma
September 16th, 2013 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka When the Dodgers were on their historic run from June 22 through the end of August, reporters, talk show hosts, bloggers and fans were basically all saying the same thing – “The Dodgers are the best team in baseball and have a legitimate shot at winning the World Series if they stay healthy.” Little did […]

A little gem from last night’s disaster
September 15th, 2013 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka No sense in going into last night disaster at Dodger Stadium – what can I say that hasn’t already been said. However, there were a couple of positives from the game, albeit not many. We got to see Yasiel Puig make an absolutely impossible diving catch, we got to see Alex Castellanos return to the Big […]

Brian Wilson – Crazy like a fox
September 14th, 2013 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka We knew it long before the Dodgers signed him on July 30, 2013 – former Giants closer Brian Wilson is… well… different. But don’t let the disguise fool you (okay it’s not a disguise, that’s what he really looks like) – Wilson is crazy like a fox. In other words, he is extremely smart but […]

September 14th, 2013 at 5:59 am by Ron Cervenka Here are several photographs from the very emotional pre-game ceremonies at Dodger Stadium which honored the fallen first responders and the victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. (Click on photos to enlarge) We shall never forget

Dodgers won on Gonzalez’s glove, not his bat
September 13th, 2013 at 12:24 pm by Evan Bladh There are sabermetrics for just about everything in the game. If you want to know Carl Crawford’s stats against left handed pitchers in the 6th inning of games played in 75 degree weather or higher on 2-2 counts with Joe West behind the plate, I’m pretty sure there is a stat geek out there that […]
