The remainder of the regular season is going to be mostly tune-ups for the postseason teams now that a clearer picture has to be decided after the season’s final weekend. The most important series saw the Braves grudge match against the Mets’ two-headed monster, which didn’t go…
A better question is: Who cares what happens next year, this year? Here we are with three games to play, and the Dodgers are stuck on 110 wins. Will they lose 50 games this year? It’s a strong possibility. To put it in perspective, the Dodgers are 61 games over .500. There are…
The Dodgers now have 110 wins, blowing their old record to smithereens! They now have a four-game winning streak and could sweep the hapless Rockies. The Dodgers are the first NL team in 100 years to win 110 games. The Dodgers team ERA sits at 2.79. They lead all of MLB in…
Coming in at #23 on the all-time WAR list, 35.0 is one William Park Kennedy. William came into this world on October 7, 1867, in Bellaire, Ohio. Today it is a town of less than 5,000 on the Ohio River and is considered part of the Wheeling, West Virginia, Metropolitan…
I know it bugs him, so here it is. 😉 The Dodgers clinched the NL West in May… or they might as well have done it then. Right about now, sitting on 108 wins and knowing they will play the Rockies for six games at home and then be off for the next five days, they aren’t exactly…
I have always wondered about the predictability of having a closer and why teams have simply gone in the direction of having a 9 th inning man, no matter what the situation was. If you really think about it, throwing that “stopper” out there for the final three outs night after…
I do not read many other Dodger Blogs, but I do read www.LAdodgerChronicles.com . Jeff Dominique is a source of great knowledge, as is Harold Uhlman. I only comment here because I do not have that much bandwidth, but I read it every day. It’s at the top of this blog for a…
I received an E-Mail yesterday from the Dodgers PR staff about getting media credentials for the NLDS. I used to get them but have not done that for about nine or ten years. Anyway, towards the bottom, it said this: “ All individuals must be both vaccinated and boosted to…
We are going to take a look back at all the former owners of the Dodgers. Not in depth, but just a glimpse at the evolvement of the team. Most of them, you know at least something about; others, not so much. Ferdinand Abell Ferdinand Abell and Charles Byrne were the two main…
So, all season Dodger fans have ragged the Dodgers’ “Botton-of-the Batting Order.” Specifically, they have been critical of Cody Bellinger, Max Muncy, and Joey Gallo; however, that team they have been so critical of is poised to set a team record for wins. They are getting…
Vote YES if you do. Vote NO if you don’t. Vote early. Vote Often. One vote per person.
As the season nears its end, I think we have to take a large dose of reality. The reality is that the Dodgers are the best team in baseball. Houston is making a late run, but if they try and catch LA to invoke “Home Field Advantage,” then they are likely to “flame out” in the…
