Now that the WS is over, the MLB calendar is set (maybe). Maybe because we have no idea what will become of the CBA after the current CBA expires on 12-1. Tentatively, the MLB dates: November 3 – 160 players were declared Free Agents. The Dodgers have 11. November 3 – 7 – Free…
NOTE: If I can get Jeff Dominique and Dodger Chatter to each post once a week, then I also have Bear and DodgerRick who want to post… maybe I can see a way to keep this thing going. I am going to reach out to Rick, Bear, and B & P and have a conversation about what, when, and…
Please excuse the timing of this post. It was written early last week, however I was rushed to the ER with what turned out to be a TIA or mini stroke. I was in the hospital being pricked and probed for nearly three days, but came away with a clean bill of health. So now I am…
As I have mentioned, I need to reduce my involvement with LADT. Several of you have volunteered to write and some of you already write. The problem that I have is that if you send me a written post with some photos, it may take up to an hour for me to post it… and the thing is…
Of course, you know I don’t care, but I took a lot of flack from various and diverse fans earlier this year when I blasted Rob Manfred and MLB Baseball for moving the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver because the State of Georgia had passed what the Democratic White House and…
Believe it or not, this topic can generate some hot debate. Which players deserve the honor? And that is where the debate begins. The Yankees have by far the most retired numbers, 21. Number 8 and 42 are retired honoring two different players. 42 for Robinson and Rivera. 8 for…
Disclaimer : If Trevor Bauer is guilty of what his accuser (who will not be named here) says he did, then he should be charged, tried, and sentenced to prison for a long, long time. To date that has not happened. In case you have been drugged or worse, here is the timeline of…
The Dodgers have built an organization that has no limit to its “window of contention.” It’s actually a giant door that feels permanently wedged open, with the talent in the minors and the win-now, win-tomorrow-too mindset of the front office. But as always, there will be…
Recently I was asked by a friend of mine who reads this blog if I would do a story about Willie Davis. I thought that was a good idea, but since their careers started so close together, I thought I would just add Tommy to the story too. I hope it is something you all will be…
Back in the ’80s, Huey Lewis had a great tune by that title. If this is it, please let me know, if this ain’t love babe just say so. Well since their season is now over, we can ask the same thing about some of the Dodger players. Is this it for them? Are they playing elsewhere…
I got to thinking about this, and for most, it is a long and happy marriage, kids, grandkids, and just living the good life. When you break it down for sports fans, it is the years that their team is on top of the heap in their sport. Rams fans never celebrated a championship in…
The season did not end the way we wanted, but the better team won. What I mean by that was that they were better right about now. The Dodgers had more talent, but the Braves got hot at the right time, particularly Eddie Rosario who lifted the team to a level way above where they…
