The Dodgers just completed the best season in the LA Dodgers history and some fans are still unhappy! I am convinced that if the Dodgers win the World Series and don’t sweep everyone, everygame, some fans will say “Yeah, but they did it the hard way – they should have won 11 games in a row. FAZ should be fired!” The Dodgers just took two out of three from the…
NOT! The Dodgers looked lifeless and disinterested last night for two reasons: 1. THEY WERE! 2. IT’S COLORADO! The game didn’t mean anything as the Dodgers had a 2 game lead over the Indians going into last night game. Today, they have 102 wins and the Indians have 101. Kershaw pitches today and I have a sneaking feeling Darvish will pitch Sunday. Ryu should probably never pitch at Coors again….
Logan Forsythe is picking a great time to peak! Check! The Dodgers 5, 6, 7 and 8 hitters did most of the damage last night. Check, Check, Check, Check! Yu Darvish looked to be the equal of Clayton Kershaw and with six games to play. Check! El Gasoline makes me nervous. Chhhhhheeeeecccccckkkkkk! Segedin might be making a case to be on the roster! Check! 100 wins! Check! The Dodgers are…
Dodger fans are never in a good mood after a loss to the Giants and it’s especially irritating when MadBum is the winning pitcher. I’m no different! $$#%& &?!^%$#@%$. There I feel better already, but then factor in that I am an Indianapolis Colts fan and my Sunday doesn’t look too fun. That, and it’s 92 degrees here today… at the end of September. A few things may have…
The Playoff Roster Remains in Flux If you have been living under a rock, then you may not know that the Dodgers clinched the NL West last night for the 5th straight year. They now have 98 wins and it’s a forgone conclusion that they will win more than 100 games. You have to love a guy like Rich Hill who is peaking just in time for the playoffs. I…
With just 10 games left until October 1st, when the season ends, the playoff roster remains a mystery. I think we all have a pretty good idea that certain players will be on the roster. Position Players Grandal Barnes Bellinger Forsythe Utley Seager Turner Hernandez Granderson Taylor Puig Ethier I left off Adrian Gonzalez because he is not anywhere near healthy. The Dodgers would love to have him on the…
Let me dispel a rumor: Curtis Granderson will be on the playoff roster. Bet on it! I don’t care if he hits .000 the rest of the way. He will be on it. The playoffs start new season and Grandy will be there. That’s why the Dodgers traded for him in the first place. Also, I think he will be ready! Here’s what I see in my crystal ball: Starting…
A team that went 92-41 up through September 1st and then suddenly loses 9 games in a row can’t happen unless it is done deliberately. I have been considering this for a few days and I really believe that FAZ and Doc really want this team to peak at the end of the season. They knew the team was good, but they had no idea that they would run off…
Jordan and Pippen, Mays and McCovey, Seager and Bellinger. Those guys just seem to feed off each other. Separate, they are good, Together they are great. Cody and Corey have not been in the lineup together for over two weeks. The Dodgers are 1-10 in their last 11 games. Can you make the connection? Get it? Got it? Good! Boy, that was a close one last night. One quick 14…
In a word, YES! I was against the acquisition of Darvish or Verlander because I felt both of their arms were about to fall off. Well, it looks like Verlander glued his back on but Yu Darvish has struggled mightily this year. Frankly, he looks no better than Ryu or Maeda… except that he pitches deeper into games…. well, except that he didn’t last night. In fact, last night was…
