Clayton Kershaw registered double-digit strikeouts, but was unable to avoid the gopher ball as the Phillies beat the Dodgers, 5-1. The Phillies took two of three in Dodger Stadium, which helps their quest for the Wild Card. The Dodgers, obviously, did nothing to improve their standing. It didn’t take long for the Phillies to strike, [...]

The Dodgers have announced that eight of their prospects are headed to the Arizona Fall League (or AFL for short). The players are: Javy Guerra, RHP – The Dodgers’ 4th round pick in 2004 made 2 appearances with the big club this spring, showing a low 90s fastball and a tight slider. He’s pitched just [...]

It was the end of the season, in more ways than one. Blazing summer heat was turning to mild fall weather, as clouds crept over mountaintops well beyond the confines of Arrowhead Credit Union Park. It was late afternoon when I arrived at the stadium. A line of fans greeted me when I entered the [...]

Since I got so much good stuff from Miller alone (The interview only lasted a little more than 4 minutes, but I wanted to share pretty much all of it), I’ve decided to break up my piece into two stories: 1 will be more about the experience I had on Sunday, and the other will [...]

Two rare events occurred at Dodger Stadium on Monday night for Hiroki Kuroda. The first was that he took a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Phillies. The second? After 45 at-bats of nothing but failure, Kuroda finally got a hit. It was a single off of Roy Halladay, no less. Things got quite [...]

Yes. Ok, that’s not all I was going to post. There have been a number of excellent articles written about the slugger’s departure to greener (or Whiter?) pastures, including a couple on this very site, so I thought I’d look at the situation from a different angle. Seeing as how my focus is on the [...]

Let's face it, after his 50 game suspension, he was really never the same hitter - he had flashes, but he was not the difference-maker he once was. It was time for him to go and when the Dodgers had someone (ChiSox) step forward, his fate was sealed.

Manny Ramirez was only with the Dodgers a little over two years, but he sure knew how to create highlight moments. The last one he made in Dodger blue came on Sunday. Pinch-hitting with the bases loaded in Coors Field, Manny was ejected for arguing after only one pitch. The new hitter Reed Johnson then [...]

Hold on, Manny. You’re not going anywhere yet. On a day where Manny Ramirez was claimed by the White Sox (then sat out this game), the Dodgers entered Colorado needing to make a statement to keep their playoff hopes alive. They did in the first game, as Casey Blake’s grand slam in the eighth led [...]

A week ago, the Dodgers were dead and buried. Everyone said it. I said it! That didn’t make it true. There was one difference: I have always maintained that this team had the talent to win it all. I felt that they were dramatically under-performing. It too much to ask them to win the division, [...]

Everything came together for the Dodgers on Thursday afternoon. Carlos Monasterios was solid, the bullpen didn’t give up a hit, and Casey Blake hit a two-run homer. Add it all up and it meant a win for the Dodgers over the Brewers, 7-1. The Dodgers swept the three-game series. Scott Podsednik singled leading off the [...]
