Dodgers Lose Another Winnable Game

In what seems like a growing trend, the Dodgers lost another should-have-won game on Tuesday, this one a 10th-inning 5-4 loss to the NL East last place Miami Marlins at LoanDepot Park in Miami. As he has now done in his last several relief appearances, 38-year-old (that’s not a typo) Dodgers right-hander Luis García turned […]

Living Up To The Hype

It is a quote (cliché) attributed to NFL Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi that we’ve all heard dozens of times in our respective lives: “Act like you’ve been here before” Dodgers rookie sensation Hyeseong Kim acted like he’d “…been here before” when he made his major league debut with Dodgers against the Miami Marlins […]

Time to Hang It Up?

There comes a time in every baseball player’s life to hang up their bat, glove, and cleats. For some, it comes early when they struggle in Little League and decide to pursue other interests.

It’s (Not) Gonna Be May

It’s Baaaack, and it happens every year right about now – the meme from the 1995 pop boy band NSYNC, in which lead vocalist Justin Timberlake insists that he said “It’s gonna be me,” not “It’s gonna be May” – this despite it sounding very much like the latter.

Taylor Made

Having gone 4-for-16 (.250) with four strikeouts in his first 18 games thus far this season, there are a number of Dodgers fans who wouldn’t be the least bit upset if 34-year-old Dodgers utility infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor were designated for assignment or traded. To be fair, the Virginia Beach, VA native and fifth-round draft pick in […]

Just Kershaw Being Kershaw

It wasn’t a no-hitter or even a shutout, but it was vintage Clayton Kershaw, and it was a treat for the 3,085 on hand at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in downtown Oklahoma City to witness first hand. The Dallas, TX native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2006 out of Highland Park High School in Dallas […]

Terrific Tommy Tanks!

If you are not onboard the Tommy Edman band wagon by now, there’s a pretty good chance that you never will be. For the sixth time in his (thus far) seven-year MLB career, the extremely popular Pontiac, MI native and second-year Dodger delivered a game-winning hit, this one a perfectly placed single down the right field […]
