Contrary to popular belief, I am still here. However, I have a lot going on at 72 years old: … and I watch every Dodger game. I just don’t have a lot of time to post. I am not shutting the blog down, but I am considering a few options…. stay tuned. Last night’s game was great. I loved it when Clayton blew Scherzer a kiss and waved bye-bye to…
This could be the game when it all started back, and the Dodgers got on the World Series Train. Time will tell, but Ohtani, Betts, Muncy, Teoscar, Pages, and Freeland all had multi-hit games. Muncy was particularly devastating. Alexis Diaz did not impress, but overall the 12-6 Beaddown was amazing! They needed this. In honor of Max Muncy’s walk-up music:
Let’s assume that Person A hates baseball, but goes with Person B to a baseball game. Person B is you… a rabid Dodger fan. So, you sit and watch the game with your friend, and it goes into extra innings with the Dodgers winning in 13 innings. Person B (You) is ecstatic while Person A is miserable, even though they have been in the very same place and experienced the…
Let me get right to the point: Bill Plaschke writes stuff that appeals to real stupid fans, which is half of the Dodger base. In his latest fish wrap-worthy tome on how Andrew Friedman failed at the trade deadline, he once again displayed how plaque buildup in his pea brain results in drivel emanating from his keyboard. Translation: He is dumber than a bag of hammers. I would never suggest…
Alex Freeland was born with a clubfoot, a deformity in which one or both feet are twisted out of position. He indeed entered the world with his right foot askew, and he spent his first year of life undergoing several procedures to correct it. I think that he has figured it out! As an infant, he was put in tiny casts that he kept kicking off. At four months, he…
The morons wanted to see soooo many trades by the Dodgers. Many morons predicted all kinds of trades at the deadline for the Dodgers. That’s what morons do. I had expected that May and Outman would be dealt, and that is what happened. Now, they can get down to business. The morons don’t run anything… except their mouths. The Dodgers acquired Brock Stewart and Alex Call, two very useful players…
It is a proven fact that when Shohei Ohtani focuses on pitching, he is one of the top two hitters in the game. When he pitches as well, his focus is not solely on hitting, and it shows. His batting average is .270-.280 when he hits and pitches, while it is over .300 when he only hits. Yes, he is amazing… but you cannot serve two masters! I think he…
It is both wonderful and sad to watch Clayton Kershaw pitch. It’s wonderful that the G.O.A.T. is still pitching, but it’s sad to see what he has become. Last night, he threw six pitches that were 90.0 – 9.5 MPH. If he had 2-3 more MPH on his fastball, his margin for error would be much greater, but there’s no more left in his tank. His UCL is likely hanging…
For various personal reasons, I have temporarily shut down this site, but I have not stopped being a Dodger fan, and I have not stopped watching Dodger Baseball and following the team. In the past couple of weeks, I have come to understand that half of the fans are dumber than hell… and the other 50% are worse than that… they are morons. What I am saying is that this…
I have stuff to do. I can’t serve two masters! Someday… we may meet again. You can contact me at mark@uswatersystems.com – Don’t be a pest!
