Ethier all but guaranteed spot on Dodgers postseason roster

With nine games still left to play in the 2017 regular season, there is no way that president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, general manager Farhan Zaidi and field manager Dave Roberts (and his coaching staff) have set their postseason roster yet.

It was exactly what every Dodger fan on the planet did not want to hear from Dodgers broadcaster Joe Davis on the SportsNet LA television broadcast of Tuesday night’s game between the Dodgers and Phillies at Citizens Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia, or from Charlie Steiner on the AM 570 Sports LA radio broadcast of the […]

When Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw, arguably the best pitcher in the MLB, is slated to face the Philadelphia Phillies, arguably the worst team in the MLB not named the San Francisco Giants, you would think that Dodger fans would be celebrating following Monday night’s game between the two teams at Citizen’s Bank Park. They did not. Were it […]

Oddsmakers still favor Dodgers to win World Series – so there’s that

I will be the very first to admit that I am not much of a gambler. Oh sure, I’ve had my moments at blackjack tables in Las Vegas over the years. But to say that I am an accomplished gambler couldn’t be further from the truth. That being said, when I treated my now 22-year-old […]

Don’t expect any help from the Giants, Padres, or Rockies
