Great take today from Rob over at 6-4-2 on Game 1 of the ALCS, won by Boston 4-1 over the Angels Wednesday night at the Big A in excruciatingly familiar fashion.  You hardly have to believe in the semi-supernatural to have felt a strong sense of deja vu watching the Halos miss opportunities, fail to […]

In an effort to generate solid karma for the local nine, the folks at the always entertaining Sons of Steve Garvey are literally giving away Dodgers tickets.  Giving them away.  Just for asking (and providing a little feedback to the site).  That’s all.  Follow the link to try and get on board.

Those of you still kicking around the ramifications of the Casey Blake trade or simply trying to get a handle on what seems, well, “off” about the direction the Good Ship Dodger will appreciate today’s post from Jon Weisman over at Dodger Thoughts.  He succinctly captures one of the major problems in the stewardship of […]
