Now that the WS is over, the MLB calendar is set (maybe). Maybe because we have no idea what will become of the CBA after the current CBA expires on 12-1. Tentatively, the MLB dates: November 3 – 160 players were declared Free Agents. The Dodgers have 11. November 3 – 7 – Free agents can only negotiate with their most recent team. November 7 – Options must be exercised….
Please excuse the timing of this post. It was written early last week, however I was rushed to the ER with what turned out to be a TIA or mini stroke. I was in the hospital being pricked and probed for nearly three days, but came away with a clean bill of health. So now I am publishing, albeit a tad tardy. IMO there was very little difference between LAD…
In a Theme from a Halloween Movie, the Dodgers came back from the grave and led by Christ Aylor’s three-home run night (see what I did there) scored 11 runs as they pounded the Atlanta Braves 11-2, and send the series back to the ATL on Saturday. The Braves are putting on a “Brave Face” saying that they are confident they are going to win, but after last night’s “beat…
The Dodgers were in this same position last year. They were down 3-1 to the Braves and won three straight games. I was confident that they could do that… LAST YEAR! I do not think they can do it THIS YEAR! If you have a great team, The Whole Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts. We have often heard that, but what does it really mean? The meaning…
I watched every painful pitch yesterday and was certain that the Baseball Gods were frowning on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Every missed call went for the Braves and even weak contact resulted in a hit for them. I was about ready to concede that the Big Dodger in the Sky was punishing Dodger fans for berating his beloved manager… until the bottom of the eighth inning! Little did I know…
I am not sure why, but it seems like this season the Dodgers have to do things the Hard Way. Now, that they are down 2-0 they are going to need to win 2-3 games in a row, and in typical Dodger fan fashion, the bitching and blaming has begun! You complain about Roberts taking Scherzer out of the game, even though it was obvious he had no fastball because…
Unfortunately, the Dodger hitters did not execute. As good as Mookie Betts was in Game 5 of the NLDS, he stunk it up last night. Chris Taylor committed an unforgivable base-running blunder and I want to remind all the IDIOTS that wanted to get rid of Cody Bellinger that they are just that: IDIOTS! See, I took a lot of flack from fans (some of whom have left this blog…
This has to be short and sweet. I have some early meetings… The game started after 9:00 last night, so it was late… Yes, the Giants won the NL West. Yes, they won the season series with the Dodgers. The Dodgers had to win the Wild Card Game to get into the playoffs. They did and now they have finished the Giants season. My wife got home at about 8:45…
My advice is “Don’t be one!” In case you don’t know, hammers are dumb. Hammers have never had an original thought. Hammers can be loud, at times, but they are really stupid! They can’t think. But then when you go to the hammer store and pick up a bag of hammers, you really have a bag of dumb, thus the saying “Dumber than a bag of hammers!” Don’t be that…
Last night, the Dodger hitters could not jump out of a boat and hit water, as Walker Buehler proved that he was not unhittable. It’s getting late… EARLY. The Giants homered three times and the Dodgers put up a goose egg. All the Giants have to do now is win two more games. This has been the maddening issue with the Dodgers all season: No one hits or Everyone hits….
