Storybook Ending

… and they lived happily ever after! The End! There are a lot of improbable things that happened along the way that created this storybook ending, not the least of which was Dave Roberts taking out 5’9″ Tommy Edman and replacing him with 6’1″ Andy Pages. Kike could not catch…

The 2025 Season in One Game

Anyone who thinks there is no element of luck in baseball is probably already institutionalized, or ready to be. Whoever wins today is not necessarily the best team, but they are the 2025 World Series Champions. The 2025 Season all comes down to just one game. Win and you are…

Do or Die!

When I saw this, I immediately knew the game today wasn’t going to be too big for the Dodgers. Dave Roberts is doing his best to keep them loose, and I think it is working. Watch as Doc “attempts” to race Hyeseong Kim around the bases (with a head start)…

It's the Same old Story…

Everybody hits or nobody hits! They score 12 runs of just 1 or 2. The Dodgers are like piranhas smelling blood in the water. They go into a hitting frenzy, or they lounge on floaties. I’m not saying they are not trying… I am saying they aren’t doing! The big difference is that…

Let Me- Make One Thing Perfectly Clear…

Lots of Dodger fans are blaming Dave Roberts for using Blake Treinen when Blake has not been successful. They genuinely believe that Roberts is a moron for repeatedly running Treinen out there. I want to make one thing perfectly clear : Dave Roberts is the Game Manager, but he…

“Let's Play Two”

… and they did! Ernie Banks was famous for that saying, and last night the players took it literally as they played 18 innings! My son texted me that he was worried they were going to have Sandy Koufax start warming up in the bullpen in the seventeenth inning. This was a game…

Yamamoto Delivered What Snell Couldn't

Yesterday, Dodger fans were making excuses for Blake Snell: “ Well, he hadn’t pitched in 10 days.” So, Yoshi Yamamoto hadn’t pitched in 11 days, and he went nine innings and won 5-1 . This is a no-excuse zone, and Blake Snell failed the test. Yamamoto aced it. Like Yoda said…

Blue Jays are not Blue – Dodgers are!

Blue Jays aren’t actually blue. Their brilliant blue color of their feathers isn’t from pigment — it’s an optical illusion. Their feathers are structurally designed to scatter light, reflecting only blue wavelengths. If you crush a Blue Jay feather, it turns brown! However, the…

It All Comes Down to This

Tonight, at 5:00 PDT and 8:00 EDT, the Dodgers will take the field in the Rogers Center to face the Blue Jays. 32-year-old Blake Snell will take the mound against 22-year-old Trey Yesavage. Snell has 10 years of experience and has pitched 1,158 regular-season innings and 70 more…

What the (Near) Future Holds

The Dodgers are in Toronto and have a couple of days of practice before Friday’s Game One of the World Series. Everyone is comparing the Dodgers’ position players to the Blue Jays’ Position players as if Vlad Guerrero were pitching to Freddie Freeman or George Springer were…

A Game for the Ages

Your Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the NLCS for the 5th time in the past 9 years last night, led by Shohei Ohtani, who had “the best game ever” by a major league baseball player as he pitched six innings, striking out 10 and allowing just two hits and no runs for the win… Oh, and…

I Told You So!

Around September 1, 2025, I said that at some point, the Dodgers would “flip the switch,” to which many fans called BS. Here is what I wrote: Every year, the Dodgers go through tough stretches, and many fans lose their minds and spew forth vomit about the Dodgers. It happens…
