Dodgers utility infielder Justin Sellers has been placed on the 15-day disabled list for a bulging disc in his lower back that is causing numbness in his right leg. Although Sellers wouldn’t come right out and say that the bulging disc is the result of his dive into the stands after making an incredible catch two weeks ago, he acknowledged […]
(Read More)Strap In and Hang On
Here’s the deal. Between Friday, June 6 and Thursday, June 19, the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers will play 16 games, with a scheduled off day on Thursday, June 12. Of those 16 games, seven will be against the NL West second-place San Diego Padres – the first three at Petco Park June 9-11, […]
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 […]
Dodgers Make Head-Scratching Move
To say that the Dodgers bullpen is a mess would be a gross understatement. As we all painfully witnessed in Wednesday’s ugly loss to the AL Central second-place Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, 30-year-old Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott not only blew the save of what should have been future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw‘s first […]

A Historical Weekend at Dodger Stadium
May 25th, 2012 at 9:48 am 
by Ron Cervenka Although this weekend’s series against the Houston Astros probably won’t be remembered as being among the greatest moments in Dodger Stadium history (unless, of course, Clayton Kershaw or Chad Billingsley or Chris Capuano happen to throw a no-hitter, or five consecutive Dodgers hit home runs or the like), it will be a historical weekend nonetheless. It […]

Game of My Life – Memorable Stories of Dodgers Baseball
May 24th, 2012 at 10:00 am by Ron Cervenka I recently had the pleasure of meeting Dodger team historian Mark Langill while at Dodger Stadium a few weeks back. Mark has been with the Dodger organization for nearly twenty years and if you like talking Dodger history, Mark is a walking encyclopedia and he loves talking about the team’s rich history. After my all-too-brief chat with […]

Great Expectations
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:24 am by Ron Cervenka With the Dodgers playing their best baseball in years (or even decades), it is easy to get into a mindset that you expect them to win every game, and while this may bode well for relatively new fans or bandwagon fans, those of us who have followed the Dodgers (and the game itself) for most […]

And Tonight’s Hero du Jour is…
May 22nd, 2012 at 11:44 pm by Ron Cervenka …Ivan De Jesus Jr. – the most recent of the ‘Cardiac Kids’ to arrive from Triple-A Albuquerque. In yet another one run game and with the Dodgers down to their last out in the top of the 9th inning, the Dodgers ripped a page right out of the 2011 Arizona Diamondbacks’ book by yanking victory from the […]
