May 24th, 2016 at 1:13 pm by Ron Cervenka Dodger fans, I mean real Dodger fans who do not check the team’s upcoming schedule to determine when 28-year-old left-hander Clayton Kershaw will make his next start and purchase tickets accordingly, are risking missing out on history unfolding before their very eyes.

Kenley Jansen’s swipe at baseball immortality ends
May 21st, 2016 at 1:14 pm by Ron Cervenka It was too good to be true and to be perfectly honest, none of us really believed it would happen. Between August 26, 2002 through July 5, 2004, former Dodger and 2003 NL Cy Young award winner Eric Gagne recorded a historic 84 consecutive saves.
