October 1st, 2013 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka Overcoming adversity is nothing new for the Dodgers. One need look no further than game-1 of the 1988 World Series to see this when a seriously injured Kirk Gibson said to (then) clubhouse attendant Mitch Poole “You know Mitch, this could be the script” only moments before Gibson’s date with destiny.

Puig begged Mattingly to play
September 29th, 2013 at 10:27 am by Ron Cervenka If you ever played baseball or even softball and fouled a ball off of your foot or ankle, you know how painful that is.

September 28th, 2013 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka 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.
