There weren’t many positives from the Cleveland Indians 10-3 shellacking of the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night, but there were a couple. The first, of course, was Adrian Gonzalez’s 14th home run of the season – a two-run shot to left/center field in the first inning. It was the 249th home run of […]

During Sunday afternoon’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Dodger Stadium, Dodgers utility infielder Clint Robinson was called upon to pinch hit in the bottom of the eighth inning. As he stepped into the batters box, the crowd of 47,739 let out a huge roar. After the game Robinson (who drew a walk) posted this […]

When the Dodgers announced that they had designated utility infielder/outfielder Jamie Romak for assignment on Wednesday afternoon, it didn’t really come as a surprise to anyone. In fact, it was pretty much a given that he would would be the one to go to make room for Juan Uribe, who is expected to re-join the […]
