Since becoming a Dodgers fan at age 9, sixty years ago, I have seen this story so many times that I laugh instead of panic. Most years, the Dodgers had no chance, but I rooted for them anyway. In 1988, they had no chance, but the impossible happened! Over the past ten years, Dodger fans fully expect to win every game, every year… and rightfully so! The Dodgers are the…
Having lived in other cities who have MLB teams, I know that sometimes the folks who live in those cities, or even states, feel you should be a fan of the team that plays there. I spent 12 years living in Phoenix and I have been here in Colorado for almost 13. When I was driving long haul and working out of Denver, I did that for almost 7. So,…

He worked in car sales, as a real-estate investor and a entrepreneur. His wife took care of Mike and his four younger brothers. He grew up a Phillies fan and studied Hall of Famer, Mike Schmidt’s, approach to hitting, His…
I am not Catholic. I am not Jewish. I am not an Athiest. I am not Protestant, Baptist, or Pagan. I do not practice Baha’i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Falun Gong, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism.

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 some very talented ones. Mike Piazza may have been the best-hitting catcher they have ever produced. Campanella was a great defender and so far, the only…
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 now, we know very little about her life and death. Perhaps, Clayton will keep it that way… perhaps not. We learned very little about his father, who…
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 wnt about it, but what does Trayce think? Well, the OC Register’s JP…
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 only allowed two hits at the time. Dustin was under 90 pitchers at the time,…
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 the month before. Outman’s power has not been evident the last several games and his…
