Which doesn t mean it is not valuable. It s just not worth the price. I can relate. I drive a 2013 Ford F-150 XLT Supercab. I could have bought the Platinum Series but it was $22,000 more and I thought that was overvalued, so I just drive the standard model. Well it does have the twin-turbo 375 HP engine, so there is that. But, it doesn t have butt warmers and leather
The Dodgers will win the NL West and go on the the World Series. Some of you have already judged this team as lacking and are ready to throw in the towel and the baby and the bathwater! NOT SO FAST! In case you haven t heard, the season is 162 games long that means there are 144 games left. You can think what you want and you will but
Move On There s Nothing to See Here Folks! Well actually, there was plenty to see and most of it was bad. I think that whenever a team gives up 9 runs in the 8th inning, they have an excellent chance to lose. I was having flashbacks to the Indiana Pacers game on Thursday night where they coughed up a 25 point halftime lead. This seals the the deal for
That was the title of today s article and it evaporated. I worked on it for about 20 minutes and now it just vanished! I m pisssed off because I lost it and so you name the subject. I m done for today!
Clayton Kershaw pitched a reasonably good game last night to stop the Dodgers losing streak as he is prone to do, but there is one aspect of his game that he needs to fix before it becomes a big problem. Oftentimes, a person s greatest strength is also their greatest weakness and I believe that is true in Clayton Kershaw s case as well. Clayton s greatest strength is his intensity and focus
I think that 79% of the the Dodger s inability to hit LH pitching is 80% mental! Last year, the Dodgers never dropped below .500 until May 6, so we are ahead of schedule this year. I am encouraged by Ryu s performance. The stats don t look good, but he went 6 innings last night with 97 pitches not bad for a guy who has missed two years. I think 91
Fans, which is short for fanatics, tend to take leave of their senses when their team wins, in that they are overly elated and they also do the opposite thing when their team loses. They become overly downtrodden and only see gloom and doom. After 14 games, the Dodgers are at .500. They are 5-2 against RH pitching and 2-5 against LH pitching. Many fans think it s time to panic and

I said Two Week not Too Weak Takeaways! Yes, I know we lost yesterday Yawn! I have a hunch we will lose again this year. Yasiel Puig is starting to make me believe he is getting serious about this game. He is more focused than I have ever seen. It would have been nice to see him homer in the 9th, but this is reality. I ll take .326/ 4 HR/11
Has another vulture emerged? It is not the same way Phil Regan used to do it, but in the Rancho Cucumonga Quakes first 8 games, Alex Hermeling has a 3-0 record with all three wins coming in relief. A lot of attention has been directed to Mitchell White and Walker Buehler, and deservedly so. But on April 7, it was Alex Hermeling that pitched the final three innings in the RC
which is one of my favorite movies along with The Shawshank Redemption . but I digress. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming: Is Starting Pitching Really Overvalued? I ll answer that question with one word: HELL YES! When Jim Bowden penned a blog on ESPN Insider this week about starting pitching being overvalued, it has created a firestorm among Dodger fans that is extremely polarizing. In particular, a quote by
Those junkyard dogs were nowhere to be found yesterday! The Dodgers front office under Andrew Friedman has been linked to numerous players over the time he has been in charge. Cole Hamels, David Price, Aroldis Chapman, Ryan Braun and others have all allegedly been the subject of trade talks with FAZ, but no one pulled the trigger, although Chapman almost happened. If we are to believe the Fish Hacks, Ryan Braun
