There is little argument that last years blockbuster 9-player trade between the Dodgers and Red Sox remains one of the biggest trades in recent history, if not ever. The trade, seen as a huge salary dump by the Red Sox and a major acquisition of all-star caliber players by the Dodgers, was clearly a win-win situation […]

It has been well publicized that Don Mattingly was not happy about having his future as the Dodger manager hanging over his head this past season – not even a little bit; this in spite of the fact that his 2014 option vested shortly after Juan Uribe launched a David Carpenter slider deep into the […]

If you would have told me a year ago that former Giants closer Brian Wilson would become one of the most revered Dodger players by the end of the 2013 season… or ever, I would have deemed you certifiably insane. Well here we are, October 22, 2013, and there isn’t a Dodger fan out there who […]

Throughout the course of the baseball season the job of general manager is tenuous at best. They are lauded as heroes when they land big-name free agents, yet within days (sometimes hours) fans are calling for their heads on a platter when things go awry. In fact, the only person on the team with a […]

When the Giants declined to offer former closer Brian Wilson a contract last July, he was bitter about it – and rightfully so. After all, the 31-year-old Winchester, Massachusetts native was a huge part of the Giants successful run to their first-ever World Series title since moving to San Francisco in 1958. Wilson led the majors with […]

Any Dodger fan who says that they weren’t worried prior to Game-5 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday afternoon is a liar. Any Cardinals fan who says that they aren’t worried after Game-5 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday afternoon is also a liar. For Dodger fans their worry was a complete […]

With the Dodgers now down 3 games to 1 and on the brink of elimination in the 2013 NLCS, Skip Schumaker, Michael Young and Scott Van Slyke are each hitting .000 in the series. Identical stats, you say? Not hardly. Schumaker, who was signed by the Dodgers during the off-season for his post-season experience and his veteran […]
