It never ceases to amaze me how some fans just naturally assume or take for granted that just because an opposing team has a worse record than their favorite team, that their team will automatically win or even sweep a series against their opponents. This, of course, couldn’t be any further from the truth. Fortunately, the […]

The Dodgers sure could use a little Déjà vu all over again. During the months of April and May 2013, the Dodgers longest winning streak was a minuscule three games, which they accomplished only once. During this same time frame they had losing streaks of six and eight games respectively before going on their historic 42-8 run […]

Okay, perhaps that headline is a little misleading, but it’s actually true. Tampa Bay Rays All-Star pitcher David Price will visit the Major League Baseball Urban Youth Academy in Compton on Saturday, May 17 at 11:00 a.m. This will be Price’s first visit to the Academy to meet some of the youth baseball and softball Academy players. The visit coincides […]

During Mark Ellis’s two seasons as the Dodgers everyday second baseman he was good – very good, in fact. He was an excellent defender, was a decent hitter and was the consummate team player. As the number-two hitter in the Dodgers line-up, he frequently gave himself up for the good of the team – something […]

Over a week ago during one of his daily pre-game media briefings, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was asked “Are you concerned about the struggles in the bullpen?” To the surprise of the gathered media, Mattingly asked “What struggles?” After pointing out the excessive number of walks that his bullpen has allowed, Mattingly finally admitted that […]

It kind of came as a surprise and out of nowhere when Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said in his post-game interview after Monday night’s 6-5 win over the Miami Marlins at Dodger Stadium that he credits a little game that Dodgers star outfielder Yasiel Puig and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez play between themselves during the games […]

It is probably safe to say that most Dodgers fans have never heard of Jamie Romak, but there is a pretty good chance that they just might within the next day or so. Romak is currently assigned to the Dodgers Triple-A affiliate Albuquerque Isotopes as a utility infielder, spending most of his time at third base. […]

It happens in baseball. In fact, it happens so often that most fans don’t even realize it or pay it little attention – giving up a home run on an 0-2 count. But it just doesn’t happen to Clayton Kershaw’s unhittable curveball – “Uncle Charlie,” “Lord Charles,” or as Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully […]

When utility outfielder/first baseman Scott Van Slyke made the Dodgers 2013 playoff roster, Dodger fans were ecstatic. Why wouldn’t they be? On several occasions during the 2013 season the 27-year-old Chesterfield, Missouri native came up with huge clutch hits (usually pinch hits) that often led to Dodgers victories. Who can forget his dramatic walk-off home run on […]
