This year, it is different! The NL West is the best division in baseball. Every team, except for the Colorado Rock Heads, are above .500, and the Top Three teams all have legitimate shots at the postseason. The Dodgers have had a plethora of injuries that have stalled their…
Mark Timmons Weekly Newsletter – Sunday, August 4, 2024 The biggest problem Dodger fans (actually all fans) have is that they are fanatical. Well, Duhhhhh… That’s what makes them (me) fans. A fanatical person is motivated by an extreme and often unquestioning enthusiasm…
Actually, the saying is “ Only fools and dead men don’t change their mind. Fools won’t. Dead can’t .” But, I do. Well… I have slightly changed my mind. It’s hard for me to do anything “halfway.” I am very competitive and started my water treatment career as an installer and then…
