Happy Dodger Thanksgiving!

Posted By on November 27, 2025

Traditionally, for over twenty (20) years, I have posted the photo below on Thanksgiving, so I am doing it again:

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. This year, only two of our five kids and four of our seven grandkids can make it, but this was last years feast:

The Turkey was on the other counter.

  1. Happy, Healthy Thanksgiving to all! Enjoy the day with family and friends and before you know it Spring Training will be here in around 80 days.

  3. Another year, another thanksgiving. Blessed to be alive and healthy. thank you all for your participation here at “old guys who love dodgers “ site! I have a lot to be thankful for, a wonderful family with 7 grandchildren. A lot of dear friends.,A baseball team that is on a mission. A great wife. And no matter what anyone says, we live in the greatest country in the world! Be ever grateful for everything that you have. Don’t be bitter about things that you don’t have. Enjoy each day and don’t be afraid to tell your loved ones how much you love them and need them. Be kind to someone who is different than you. It may come back to you later on when you need it. Kiss your grandkids every chance you get. give them something to remember you by. And lastly, just have a good day! we’re not guaranteed a tomorrow. But i sure hope i’m reading some good posts tomorrow!

    2. Happy Thanksgiving my friend. Yes, we all have much to be thankful for. Myself, after my extended stay in the hospital last December and January am thankful that my health is good enough for me to be able to spend the holidays with family this year. I do not expect I will make that journey driving again. As for the Dodgers, I hope they find the right fits to help strengthen the 2-time champs.

  4. Jeff Dominique is considering shutting down his blog, and I have invited him to write here, but he is not sure he would be welcome.

    I think he would.

    I would certainly welcome him.

    What does everyone else say?

    I know it’s OK with Bear!

          1. Jeff does a terrific job!
            It’s fun to have a couple of fine Dodger blogs to visit and spout off on. But If he shuts down his blog, I’d be eager to read his reports here.

  6. Happy Thanksgiving from Panama!!! Huge weekend here as tomorrow is independence day. The amount of parades and fireworks here are second to none!
    Cheers to all

  7. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
    Hope you all have a great day.

    I read and appreciate both blogs and they are the only ones I frequent. If Jeff decides to write here it would make a great blog even better.

    In Andrew I trust! He will do what he thinks is best for our team. If he reads here to get our opinions, here’s mine.

    No on Tucker
    Too long a contract we only need a bridge to our upcoming outfielders.
    My choice would be to pay Cody what he wants for a 3 year deal.

    Can’t wait to see what happens
    Winter meetings start soon.

    1. No Tucker, No Jansen!!!. But I also remember a lot of ‘no Ohtani’ posts as well. And ‘no way we get Freeman’

      1. I was against the Ohtani contract… not the player. It turns out that was not an issue. I just lacked imagination.

      2. I don’t remember anyone saying “no way we get Freeman”, then again it was quite a long time ago….

        1. Freeman didn’t want to leave Atlanta… But Braves management screwed up.
          Somewhere in the multiverse, Max is still playing 1B for the Dodgers…

  9. Welcome Mr. Dominique. Please do join! We are a merry band of morons, and quite eclectic too. We have bears, and porpoises, and some famous guys too, one named Bluto was in Animal House. Another was in Hawaii Five-O but we think he might be losing it a bit cause he just keeps repeating his famous line from the show. Your work is well thought of and will be much enjoyed here. Thanks in advance for your future contributions. We have been blessed to have some excellent baseball minds contributing so you will fit right in.

  10. MLBTR did not mention LA as even a potential destination for Brendan Donovan. I believe that is a significant signal that LA has not kicked the tires on a trade for him. Arenado is not mentioned as a trade candidate for LA either, which is a switch, since he is almost always tied to LA as a trade piece.

      1. No, they do not, but usually there is some chatter when a team is interested in a certain player. Their interest in Raisel Iglesias before he went back to Atlanta was mentioned several times.

      2. Arenado screwed up when he blocked a trade to Houston.
        I’m hoping the Angels get him cheap. He’s an OC boy and a homecoming might help.
        Plus, he’s not Rendon.

  11. I read both websites daily. Easily the top 2 places for me to get great Dodger information and insight. I sure hope it happens.

  12. Been here a while now and finding this place both raised my enjoyment of following the Dodgers it also , being from London , has taught me so much about Baseball.

    I’m onboard with whatever as I read and post a little at each site. The cut and thrust even if it gets a bit testy a times doesn’t bother me in the slightest, in fact I enjoy it.

    Hope you’re all enjoying Thanksgiving

      1. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. I live right in the heart of things here in London now having moved here about 16 months ago from Watford.

        It really is a great City to live, very safe and easy to navigate. I live in Bloomsbury which is where many of the Universities and Colleges are based – lots of students around here.

        Would be happy to show her round or whatever – just let me know. She’d have a great time here.

        1. She and her mom are going to visit in the near future. Her mother is my stepdaughter. I have never been her dad – her father is a great guy!

  13. Make of this what you will:

    Projection is when a person unconsciously takes something uncomfortable in themselves — guilt, insecurity, anger, selfishness, impatience, or a flaw — and assigns it to someone else.

    Some of you might get what I am laying down. If not, don’t sweat it!

    1. I don’t know if that applies to fans criticizing the team, more likely other commenters.

      Sometimes I think people act like they can’t tolerate things in others that they themselves suffer from. Dave Roberts makes mistakes and so do I.

      I also think people overgeneralize from specific statements.

  14. bring him on mark! 3 recommendations (1) be a dodger fan! (2) Be a baseball fan! (3). no politics! welcome to the family Jeff!

  15. Happy Thanksgiving to all. The one day of the year you can give your entire family the bird and no one complains. !!!!

  17. Happy Thanksgiving Mark!
    On a day dedicated to gratitude I would be remiss if I didn’t take this opportunity to thank you for continuing to favor us with this incredible blog. As great a year as the Dodgers had, I don’t believe it would have been nearly as enjoyable for me without your contributions. Words are not enough, but . . .
    THANK YOU!

  18. What do Reggie Jackson, Michael Jackson, and Teo Hernandez have in common?

    Wait for it

    They all wear a glove for no apparent reason

    Happy Thanksgiving

  20. Mark -Bournemouth is a lovely seaside town easily accessible from London by train (our trains are good!!).

    Usta holiday there every summer with my folks when I was young.

    That University is known particularly for media studies.

    1. That is what she is majoring in. Both her parents are film school grads and run US Water Systems Video Department.
