Let’s be honest here; we are all spoiled by superstar future Hall of Fame outfielder Mookie Betts. Even those who were outraged when the Dodgers signed him to a ludicrous 12-year/$365 million contract extension on July 22, 2020, soon came to realize that their beloved team would not have won the 2020 World Series without […]

April 2021, the World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers started the regular season as the dominating force in Major League Baseball, winning 13-times in their first 15-games. Offense, defense, and pitching were in sync, seemingly firing on all 26-cylinders; baseball pundits were all but conceding the 2021 World Series to the Boys in Blue. Then, the […]

Two hundred thirty-two million COVID-19 vaccinations have been administered in the United States. There are roughly 96 million fully vaccinated individuals in the United States, about 30% of the population. As the 2021 baseball season began, members of the media questioned players in regards to being vaccinated or not. Many (most) players would not reply […]

Try as we may, we all knew it would happen – ‘The Bad Kenley Jansen‘ returned a mere two days after ‘The Mad Kenley Jansen’ had notched his fifth save of the season (to go along with his one blown save), picking up his first loss of the season to the NL East last-place Cincinnati […]

You would think that given a six-run lead heading into the seventh inning, the defending 2020 World Series Champions – a team referred to by many as the best team in all of baseball this season and among the best ever – would be unbeatable. You would think. They were not. After six innings of […]

Hard to believe it’s been 45 years … to the day. On this date in 1976, former Dodgers outfielder Rick Monday, then a member of the Chicago Cubs, prevented two protestors who had run onto the field at Dodger Stadium, from burning an American flag after dousing it with lighter fluid. Monday, a former United […]

Although it felt like 10, the Dodgers finally snapped their two-game skid on Saturday night with a much-needed 5-4 win over the San Diego Padres in front of a (COVID-19) sold-out Dodger Stadium crowd of 15,596 that included (approximately) 500 in the Dodgers all new ‘Fully Vaccinated Fan Section.’ “It was a fun baseball game […]

  *  *  *  “It’s never an upset if the so-called underdog has all along considered itself the better team.” Woody Hayes   *  *  *  *  Make no mistake, the San Diego Padres are for real, and they have served notice on the Dodgers that they are no longer the underdog wannabes. The intrastate […]

It is an absolute fact of life: every major league baseball player goes through slumps; some more often than others.
