OK, this is going to be the last I ever speak of this.. well, that s a lie I probably will speak of it again. However, Las Vegas now has the Dodgers and Astros at +600 odds to make the World Series. The Yankees and Red Sox are next in line with +650 and +700 odds while the Phillies and Cubs are +1000. So, I have a problem when people
Brad Miller turned some heads, this Spring with a .348 BA and .400 OB% in 23 AB s, but it turns out the Dodgers were committed to Alex Verdugo and had no room for another LH hitting utilityman.

Not much can be said about the Dodgers that has not already been said by someone on this blog. Much is informational, even more is well opinioned, and some is of a concern nature with the regular season not yet started.

Andrew Toles The Dodger Beat Writers know what is up with Andrew Toles, but out of respect for his privacy (and to keep their jobs), they ain t saying! That s OK!

Actually, my wife owns some ice cream stores (hand-packed, 15% butterfat, if you want health food, eat carrots type) and one of the most popular flavors is called This $ @! Just Got Serious. It is a smooth salted caramel ice cream brimming with rich sea salt fudge and salted cashews. Of course, Spring Training is also getting serious! With Spring Training about half completed, Opening Day will soon be upon
Have you ever been to an auction where one party was hell-bent-for-leather to win whatever the auction target was. The guy who wants to win at all costs is not called a winner where I am from. He usually overpays and regrets it later. My wife has won auctions costing thousands of dollars, only to regret it later. The winner of an auction is often really The Loser. Winning an
