(Read More)Kershaw to the Rescue – Again
Under the category of: Thanks, we needed that, Dodgers ace and future first-ballot Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw gave his team what Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said was “…clearly his best outing yet,” in the Dodgers 7-3 win over the NL Central second-place St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on Sunday. “The command was much […]
Strap In and Hang On

What’s Missing?
The Dodgers are tenuously holding on to first place in the National League’s Western Division, they are loaded with talent – four players are legit candidates for the Hall of Fame. But, there are too many games where fans watch uninspired Dodgers baseball. Foolish errors of omission and commission, hitters flailing away at pitches as […]
Muncy Reaches Milestone
Hitting 200 home runs is a highly respected and significant accomplishment over the course of a Major League career, which, of course, means hitting 201 is even better. During Saturday’s 18-2 pounding of the AL East first-place New York Yankees by the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd […]
Hollywood Stuff
It was as if they had read it from a Hollywood script – and it was epic. With one out and on the third pitch that New York Yankees right fielder and future Hall of Famer Aaron Judge saw from struggling Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (an 89.7-MPH slider right down Broadway, no pun intended), the […]

THIS is Why You Always Bring Your Glove
October 22nd, 2024 at 10:00 am 
by Ron Cervenka If you have been to Dodger Stadium over the past 10 to 15 seasons, you have undoubtedly seen him.

As It Should Be
October 21st, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Although the National League East Division Champion New York Mets made the 2024 National League Championship Series interesting, there was never really much doubt that it would be the NL West Division Champion Los Angeles Dodgers who would represent the National League in the 2024 World Series against the American League Champion New York Yankees […]

October 19th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka You can’t expect to win a game at baseball’s highest level, especially during the postseason, when you do this: This is what the National League West Division champion Los Angeles Dodgers, the team considered by many to be the best in the game, did in their embarrassing 12-6 loss to the NL East Division champion […]

Kiké Gonna Kiké
October 18th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Thursday night’s 10-2 pounding of the National League East champion New York Mets by the National League West champion Los Angeles Dodgers in front of a Citi Field crowd of 43,882 in Game-3 of the 2024 National League Championship Series will best be remembered for the monster 422-foot home run into the second deck by […]

The New ‘Mr. October’
October 17th, 2024 at 10:00 am by Ron Cervenka Fans who have followed Major League Baseball for a while most certainly remember Hall of Fame outfielder Reggie Jackson. The oft-controversial Abington, PA native and first round draft pick in 1966 by the (then) Kansas City Athletics out of Arizona State University spent a remarkable 21 seasons in the Bigs – 10 with the A’s, five […]

The One We’ve Been Waiting For
October 15th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It was quick and it was subtle. And unless you turned on the Fox pregame show half an hour before Game-2 of the National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets at Dodger Stadium on Monday afternoon, you missed it. For those who did miss it, Hall of Famer, 10-time […]
