Back in March, when I wrote my breakdown about who would be playing third base for the Dodgers, the person currently filling the role was not even in the discussion. Not even a blip on the radar. Then, it was a fight between Nomar Garciaparra and Andy LaRoche, and everyone else was just […]

It’s still early, but seven games into the ‘08 season, the Dodgers outfield has been the main culprit in the batting woes the Dodgers have displayed thus far. Take away Andre Ethier, who had two hits in Monday’s loss to Arizona to boost his average to .308, and there isn’t much else worth looking at. […]

After playing the 2007/2008 season in a fog, the sun finally broke through on the Clippers this week when Elton Brand made his first appearance of the season. Steve from Clipper Nation gives the breakdown on how Brand propelled the Clippers to victory against Seattle in his debut, something likely lost on most of Southern […]

The NL West was wild Wednesday night, and most of the news was good for the Dodgers.
Current Diamondbacks closer Brandon Lyon has always had a problem with home runs (not good for a pitcher), and last night Edwin Encarnacion took him deep with a three-run home run in the bottom of the 9th to rally […]

Like shooting ducks on a pond. Or fish in a barrel. You choose. But that’s how easy it was for the Dodgers, beating the feeble Giants 5-0 with Brad Penny scattering four hits over 6.2 innings to take the easy win on Opening Day . I’d like to say Penny was splendid, […]

Just a few final thoughts on Saturday’s game at the Coliseum.

Good Things:
1. Easy Shuttle from Dodger Stadium (at 3:00 PM, at least).
2. Batting Practice.
3. Vin Scully Pre game celebration.
4. Dodger Godmother Rachel Robinson sitting with the common folk.
5. Making the fans realize the purpose of the event was about ThinkCure and not about the game […]

While trying to stay up to date on the Dodgers I read many blogs and informational sites. Some are strictly for research, and those willing to pay a nominal fee can have access to some truly jaw dropping information.

Each of these blogs I’m going to recommend has something unique to offer above and beyond […]

No doubt it might get old quickly, but for now I’m still getting a chuckle when I hear Hu is on first. Certainly fans in Arizona and Florida have done the same this Spring Training, as are announcers waxing nostalgic on the glory days of comedic radio when “Who’s on First” was the great […]

Perhaps no other animal symbolizes the West as dramatically as the American bison. In prehistoric times millions of these animals roamed the North American Continent from the Great Slave Lake in northern Canada,south into Mexico and from coast to coast. No one knows how many bison there were, but the naturalist, Ernest Thompson Seton, estimated […]

Classically speaking, a minotaur is defined as a “mythical monster with a head of a bull and the body of a man.” In Dodger Blue, though, it has a totally different connotation. While the rest of the baseball world got their first glimpse of L.A.’s Minotaur last Sunday, he had made his maiden […]
