Busch Stadium St. Louis As long as I can continue to write, I will do my best to be informative until Mark returns or closes down the site permanently. Starting Friday in St. Louis, the Dodgers begin a 10-game road trip, their longest of the season. They play the Cardinals…
Well, seems like Mark is going to shut down this site. Been a fun ride. Adios Amigos
Campy at Spring Training After seeing Will Smith spend more than ten days out with the MLB concussion protocol, it got me wondering why anyone in their right mind would make catching their profession. But many have answered that call. And over the years, the Dodgers have had…
Attention, Peter Seidler and his band of wannabes, never-weres, and just plain punks, the Dragon up the Freeway is alive and well and it just smoked your ass, you bunch of disrespectful reform-school dropouts! Clayton Kershaew’s Mother, Marianne Tombaugh, died Saturday. Up until…
Let’s cut to the chase: Many Dodger fans believe it is a disservice to ask Thompson to do something he can’t do… and that is hit LH Pitching. Trayce is a RH hitter, and in the real world, he should hit LHP like you hit a rented mule. Except that he can’t! We can think what we…
So, maybe you are of the mindset that when Dustin May got into a little trouble in the 7th inning Doc should have taken him out? That’s silliness! It’s true that Dustin May was cruising after six innings, and he got two quick outs in the top of the 7th inning. I think he had…
That is a question many Dodger fans would love to have an answer for. The last couple of games, Miguel Vargas has begun to look more like the player that the Dodgers have liked so well for the last several seasons in the minor leagues. He has hit the ball a lot harder than in…
It used to be that every team had at least one or two “workhorse” starting pitchers. These are the guys who started 33 to 37 games a season and pitched 25 complete games! In 1966, the Dodgers used a four-man rotation, which was composed of Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Claude…
It’s been nine days since my back surgery, and I have had more bad days than good days. Monday and Tuesday of this week were especially painful, and I have been unable to stand up straight for about a week. My Surgeon called me on Sunday, and he thought I should be more…
A few fans have questioned why the Dodgers have a plethora of “retreads,” “has-beens,” “never were’s,” and “wannabees” at AAA OKC. Now, I do not want to disrespect the ability it takes and the work it requires to say nothing of the talent needed to play at the AAA level. Many of…
With three (count ’em 3) offensive rookies on the MLB Roster, is that the end of what we will see this year? Well, I will say that it is likely what we will see for a while. Some fans are pining for Luke Williams, but (at best) he is a “fill-in” at SS – SS is not his position…
