Who is Phil Bert?

I get some crazy e-mails on a weekly basis. Some are unworthy or unreadable, but yesterday, I got this e-mail with the above graphic attached (which was neither unworthy or unreadable): “ I was researching the Brooklyn Bum and came across your site/recent post (good luck with…

A Little Outta Kilter

Contrary to popular belief, I am still here. However, I have a lot going on at 72 years old: I am finishing my book, and it is taking a lot of time (May 2026 is the tentative release), and I am working with a group who have helped 272 other authors reach the Top 10; My daughter…

Remember this Game!

This could be the game when it all started back, and the Dodgers got on the World Series Train. Time will tell, but Ohtani, Betts, Muncy, Teoscar, Pages, and Freeland all had multi-hit games. Muncy was particularly devastating. Alexis Diaz did not impress, but overall the 12-6…

Perspective

Let’s assume that Person A hates baseball, but goes with Person B to a baseball game. Person B is you… a rabid Dodger fan. So, you sit and watch the game with your friend, and it goes into extra innings with the Dodgers winning in 13 innings. Person B (You) is ecstatic while…

Hey Bill Plaschke!

Let me get right to the point: Bill Plaschke writes stuff that appeals to real stupid fans, which is half of the Dodger base. In his latest fish wrap-worthy tome on how Andrew Friedman failed at the trade deadline, he once again displayed how plaque buildup in his pea brain…

Alex Freeland Was Born for This!

Alex Freeland was born with a clubfoot, a deformity in which one or both feet are twisted out of position. He indeed entered the world with his right foot askew, and he spent his first year of life undergoing several procedures to correct it. I think that he has figured it out…

Now, It's Time to go to the Whip!

The morons wanted to see soooo many trades by the Dodgers. Many morons predicted all kinds of trades at the deadline for the Dodgers. That’s what morons do. I had expected that May and Outman would be dealt, and that is what happened. Now, they can get down to business. The…

The Ohtani Delimma

It is a proven fact that when Shohei Ohtani focuses on pitching, he is one of the top two hitters in the game. When he pitches as well, his focus is not solely on hitting, and it shows. His batting average is .270-.280 when he hits and pitches, while it is over .300 when he only…

The Truth About Clayton

It is both wonderful and sad to watch Clayton Kershaw pitch. It’s wonderful that the G.O.A.T. is still pitching, but it’s sad to see what he has become. Last night, he threw six pitches that were 90.0 – 9.5 MPH. If he had 2-3 more MPH on his fastball, his margin for error would…

Are All Dodger Fans Clinically Insane?

For various personal reasons, I have temporarily shut down this site, but I have not stopped being a Dodger fan, and I have not stopped watching Dodger Baseball and following the team. In the past couple of weeks, I have come to understand that half of the fans are dumber than…
