There is zero doubt that 41-year-old/21-year MLB veteran Albert Pujols will be enshrined in the sacred Halls of Cooperstown in his first year of eligibility after he retires … IF he ever retires, that is. There is also zero doubt that when that historic day happens, he will undoubtedly enter The National Baseball Hall of […]

The Dodgers have placed infielder/outfielder Cody Bellinger on the injured list with a left rib fracture (retroactive to September 18) and have recalled outfielder Luke Raley from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Bellinger, 26, returns to the injured list for the third time this season. He appeared in 89 games this year with an un-Bellinger-like .159 batting […]

On Sunday, September 19, 2021, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park by a score of 8-5; A crushing loss for the Reds in their pursuit of a postseason wildcard spot, and an important victory for the Dodgers, who are in the chase for their ninth consecutive NL West […]

Since returning from the Injured List, Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw has started two games. He won both of them. As Dodgers fans (and opposing hitters) know all to well, the 33-year-old Dallas, TX native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2006 out of Highland Park High School in University Park, TX, landed on the 10-Day […]

Baseball enthusiasts and sportswriters across the country are referring to the San Francisco Giants’ 2021 season as ‘magical.’ Not so Dodger fans, who refer to it as ‘voodoo magic.’ With the Dodgers anemic (and embarrassing) six-hit / 3-1 loss to the National League Central third-place Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on Friday, they […]

[…]

When the Dodgers acquired 28-year-old Trea Turner at the July 31 trade deadline, they knew they were getting a league-leading hitter and an elite middle infielder. They also knew they were getting a speedster. In fact, the Boynton Beach, FL native and first-round draft pick in 2014 by the San Diego Padres out of North Carolina […]

The bad news is that the San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego Padres at Oracle Park on Tuesday night to maintain their 2.5-game lead over the Dodgers in the National League West with only 17 and 16 regular-season games left to play, respectively.
