Thanksgiving is the one time of the year when Dodger and Giants fans don’t have to get along like cats and junkyard dogs.
OK, I got carried away…. maybe we do!
Back to reality and the reality is ….
I did this interview a couple of weeks ago with Chef Mike, who runs the Dodgers Food Trailer for the Great Lakes Loons. They are there for every home and road regular season and playoff game. They prepare three meals a day for approximately 50 people (players and coaches). Since games end late most evenings, they do not prepare breakfast. Many of their hotels have a complimentary breakfast anyway. However,…
3 picks were High School players (2 SS and 1 OF). There was a college OF, college catcher, college SS, and 10 college pitchers. Of all the talk for a need for a catcher, the only catcher the Dodgers selected was Luke Bard, son of LAD bullpen coach Josh Bard. Bard was a 4th year senior from Houston Christian University. He is not a prospect, so the Dodgers are still…
It’s been a few days since I did this interview. We have evidently been working my son-in-law (the video guy) like a rented mule at US Water Systems. However, I am taking him to London with me in a few days, so maybe Watford will buy him a pint as a tip, but he’s a dang Red Sox fan, so there is that! I thought that it would be interesting…
I was going to do this post when Chris announced he was retiring, then he changed his mind, but since the chances of him ever playing for the Dodgers again are slim and non-existent, I will go ahead with this post. He unretired, went on the IL, then decided to call it quits on May 24th. Taylor was born in Virginia Beach VA on August 29th, 1990. He attended Great…
Discussion (19)
Disagree, not disagreeable
It will be interesting what the back story is on this:

He did not played after July 29th. There is a story here, if someone cares to tell…
Thanks everyone. This has been the most enjoyable year for me in LA Dodger Talk history. It’s the first time which every post I do is not disagreed with just because someone likes to disagree. Mind you, I don’t mind disagreement. I have opinions and I am not always right. I am fine with disagreeing. What I am not fine with is having someone disagree with me no matter what which is what happened.

Feel free to tell me if you think I am wrong and yes, I do write stuff to make you think and drive discussion. I am frequently wrong, but I am not wrong every single time like some have said. I think the difference is “respect.” We all respect each other and sometimes we agree and sometimes we disagree. Keep it coming.

Thanks again.
Thanks AC and back at you. I really enjoy this site. Mark makes you think. He throws stuff at you. AC and Mark both have information on our farm kids. AC’s post are generally factual. However, the most important is the respect we have for each other.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Loved me some Reggie Smith.
I am sitting at my favorite Starbucks and trying to draft my next post, trying to reflect on this past year.
.
I am thankful for the Dodgers providing me with some of the best baseball that I have enjoyed in a looooong time. With both Colletti and FAZ contributions, this Dodger organization is packed with stars and depth that should keep the ML team competitive and relevant for a long time.
.
I am thankful for Mark allowing me to contribute to this blog. I am not a very social person, and for me to be able to communicate with a Dodger community such as this one has been a blessing for me.
.
I am thankful to posters like Dodgerrick who may have contrary thoughts to mine, but support it so well that it always keeps me thinking (and arguing with). Rick is analytical and skeptical which is not only a great trait for an attorney, but also for a knowledgeable baseball fan.
.
I am thankful to Watford, and Watford, I think you know why.
.
I am thankful for MJ because she reminds me that knowledgeable baseball and Dodger fans are not always men. MJ has strong opinions and a passion to match.
.
I am thankful for a medium that allows me to communicate with loyal and passionate Dodger fans like Hawkeye, Vegas, Rudy Byrd, Idahoal, and the countless others that I have had the pleasure of reading and responding to. And Rudy, you are officially my favorite Bruin. As baseball1439 stated above, “This site is highly informative, and all posts are treated respectfully.”
.
But most of all, I am thankful for a family that puts up with me doing my baseball research and supporting me as I go out of my comfort zone to occasionally write on this site.
.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
I want to thank Mark and all the other posters that frequent ladodgertalk.com. I’ve been posting on this site for about 2 weeks and already wish I stopped posting on the Dodger site 3 years ago. This site is highly informative, and all posts are treated respectfully.
So far this has been very rewarding.
Happy Thanksgiving Guys.

Still trying to get over my Post Season Blues.
Think I need some counselling….
I really like this strategy. Miami will initially say forget you Dodgers, but after Stanton nixes the other clubs offers the Dodgers will be in the drivers seat.
Interesting take on a Stanton trade:

So thankful for this site to see what my fellow Dodger guys have to say. Kind of funny, I have this guy from my high school days who is a die hard Giant fan, and he has been giving me crap for years. He couldn’t wait to pile on after we lost the World Series in Game 7, but I told him,” You know what, check back in a year, because we will be having the same conversation after we go the the Series again”!! So confident for next year, I can hardly wait. Happy Turkey day guys!!
Happy Turkey Day, fellow long-time Dodger fans/sufferers.
I am thankful for LA Dodger talk. Thank you Mark, and all who post. Happy Thanksgiving. Go blue.
