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 […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2013 postseason games will be called by the club’s two broadcast teams featuring Hall of Famer Vin Scully, Charley Steiner and Rick Monday and Hall of Famer Jaime Jarrín, Fernando Valenzuela and Pepe Yñiguez. Scully will call the first three innings and the final three innings of each Dodger postseason game on Dodgers Radio […]

This is from an email that I received from the ESPN PR Department on Monday morning. It is a partial transcript from Sunday night’s ESPN game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers in which play-by-play commentator Dan Shulman and analysts Orel Hershiser and John Kruk gave their personal opinions and perspectives regarding the Ryan […]

When Clayton Kershaw was snubbed out of the National League Cy Young Award last year there were a lot of upset Dodger fans, and rightfully so. Face it, when you have the best earned run average in the league for the (then) second year in a row (now third), have the best WHIP and are second in […]

The Dodgers regular season has whittled down to six games remaining. Even after 156 games played, questions remain regarding the Dodgers first round opponent and the dates of their first post-season home games in four years. After reading this post, you might find yourself dizzy, but there are so many potential outcomes that could play […]

Like most Dodger fans (and basically anyone with a shred of common sense), I am of the belief that this whole Chase Field swimming pool incident (dubbed ‘Pool-gate’) is nothing more than a bunch of sore losers who are making a big deal about nothing. Why is it that the national media said little or […]
