Contrary to the never-ending anti-Dodgers East Coast bias heard almost daily on MLB Network Radio and ESPN, on Tuesday morning, Baseball Prospectus predicted that not only would the Dodgers win their franchise-record fifth consecutive National League West title in 2017, they would do so with an MLB-best 97 wins and will capture the 2017 NL pennant. As […]

It was being reported on Monday evening that the Dodgers have expressed at least a mild interest in 30-year-old free agent first baseman / left fielder Chris Carter. If Carter’s name sounds familiar to you, it well should. Last season with the Milwaukee Brewers, the Redwood City, California native and seven-year MLB veteran hit a […]

I will be the first to admit that I am not much of a football fan, at least not since both the Rams and Raiders bailed from Los Angeles after the 1994 season. It’s not that I don’t enjoy watching the game; in fact, I am a huge USC Trojans fan (Fight On!). It’s just […]

For die-hard football fans, Super Bowl Sunday is both the happiest day of the year for them and the saddest. Happy in that it is the culmination of a grueling 17-week season, three playoff rounds and, of course, the Super Bowl itself. Sad in that it marks the end of professional football until next fall.

On Friday morning, Major League Baseball unveiled the hats that will be worn by all 30 MLB teams during spring training 2017. And while some teams will (apparently) have only one spring training hat this season, the Dodgers will once again have two. If the Dodgers two spring training hats look familiar to you, they […]

Late Thursday evening it was being widely reported across the Twittersphere that once-despised Giants right-hander Sergio Romo and his famous (and filthy) slider had narrowed down his choice of potential suitors to two teams – one still unknown and the other (wait for it…) the Dodgers. Yes, the guy who Dodger fans have loathed for […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) has announced a cumulative grant donation of $1.2 million to 55 local nonprofit organizations and investments of an additional $1.8 million in its cornerstone programs during 2016, totaling $3 million in charitable contributions last year. LADF’s grants and contributions focused on programs which benefit underserved youth in the areas […]

Joe Blanton is one of those guys that you either really really like or you really really don’t; not as a person, as he is absolutely a great guy and a great teammate, but professionally. The Dodgers first acquired Blanton from the Philadelphia Phillies on August 2, 2012 after the waiver trade deadline (for cash) […]
