As in every walk of life, personalities run the full spectrum on the Dodgers 25-man roster. You’ve got the carefree, fun-loving, boisterous types such as the lovable Kiké Hernandez, Matt Kemp and, of course, Yasiel Puig. On the other end of the spectrum you’ve got the stoic, quiet, no-nonsense types like Chase Utley, Rich Hill, Clayton Kershaw, and even […]

If you are one of those bottom line, spare-me-the-fluff types, I’ve got some bad news for you: the Dodgers lost to the Chicago Cubs on Thursday afternoon at Dodger Stadium to split the four-game series with the North Siders. In fact, the Dodgers flat out got their butts kicked by a final score of 11-5. […]

If you were to ask most baseball fans, not just Dodger fans, a year ago – heck, even three months ago – who Max Muncy was, chances are exceptionally good that their reply would have been “Who?” But if you were to ask those same baseball fans today who he is, their answer might be […]

It doesn’t happen often. In fact, it has happened only nine times since the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles from Brooklyn in 1958 – a pinch-hit grand slam home run. Current former Dodger Matt Kemp joined that elite and rare list on Saturday night against the New York Mets at Citi Field in front of […]

For those who frequent this site, you are well aware that I try to refrain from ‘I / me’ articles, but sometimes there is no way around it in order to share a story. This is one of those times and I hope that you find it enjoyable. As I have done for the past […]

True dyed-in-the-wool Dodger fans are a rare breed.
