Sometimes, I just step back and let everyone “wallow in their swill.” I think, like pigs, some of you love it. For the past three years, I have heard, “Yes, the Dodgers are a great team in the regular season, but they aren’t built and can’t win in the playoffs.” So, that has been the problem for the past three years: The Dodgers are arguably the best team in the…
Not Even Close to the Worst Loss!
You all think that yesterday’s debacle was the worst Dodger “Blowing a Lead Game Ever,” but it wasn’t even close! I remembered a column that Jon Weisman (now the Dodgers VP of Communications) wrote in his previous life as a blogger on “Dodger Thoughts.” In part, here’s what he wrote: “On August 21, 1990, I went to a baseball game with a friend. And I stayed for about seven innings,…
No Dope Fiend Moves!
One Win – Not a Big Deal! The Dodgers went against Tarik Skubal, who is absolutely filthy and did manage to get two runs off of him, but they got two more off the bullpen and finally won a game. It’s only one game, but it was nice to change the teams’ fortunes. Miguel Vargas is slumping, and so is James Outman. The difference is that Vargas strikes out at…
This is not the way it ends…
So, the Dodgers were swept by the Phillies, proving (according to some) that the Dodgers are a bunch of chokers and losers and will never win anything. I would say that if you believe that, you are probably jumping to the wrong conclusion. I can’t help you! It seems that most Dodger fans can look at this in one of two ways: So, it seems that many fans will gravitate…
Yawn!
Most of you have bitched and bitched and bitched the past three years, as the Dodgers have not won enough (or sometimes at all) in October. You have said that it only counts how they play in October. OK, I’ll buy that! But then you go and lose your freaking minds when they lose some games in June and July. Here’some Dodger fan losing his mind: Hello, I detect a…
Mid-Season Top 30 Dodger Prospects
Baseball America released their Top 30 Prospects for each team, and since this is a Los Angeles Dodger site, we are going to list the Dodgers prospects: FASTEST RISER: Alex Freeland is climbing up the list very rapidly. Could he be ready in 2025? I would not bet against it. Ok, he’s not going to be a superstar, but could he be the SS the Dodgers need? MOST LIKELY TO…
All About the Kids…
I would not expect Miguel Vargas to debut at 3B in Philly due to the hostile environment, but one never knows. I hear Miggy V is taking balls at 3B at a furious pace and that Dino Ebel and others are working with him. Of course, the Dodgers are not going to trade for a 3B at this time. Maybe it will change at the deadline, but Vargas could fill…
If Bo Bichette is Traded, Friedman Will be all in…
In the above statement, there are two contingencies: Let me break that down for you. The Blue Jays may or may not make Bo Bichette available. If they don’t, there is nothing to talk about. I have no clue if they will or they won’t, so we wait. However, I do know (for a certainty) that if Bo Bichette becomes available, Andrew Friedman will be “all in.” Bo Bichette is…
Cut the Crap, Friedman!
First of all, I want to welcome back James Outman who went 2-4 . He could have sulked when he got sent back to OKC after finishing #3 in the NL ROY balloting… but he did not. He went to OKC and went about his business and here he is back in the Show. I love James Outman and his story, his hustle, his grit, and it’s time for Dodger…
