I am not going to jump to any conclusions about Clayton’s relationship with his father. I can certainly see the physical resemblance however. Whenever parents are divorced, it presents challenges to the children and I am sure this was no different. Who was his dad? What was their relationship like? We all want to know, [...]

Next week in LA, Clayton Kershaw will drill Carlos Quentin with a fastball right in the ribs. Write it down. I guarantee it. Clayton doesn’t tolerate that crap. The only way it won’t happen is if Quentin is suspended, which he may be. It will most likely happen in the 7th or 8th inning with [...]

Clayton Kershaw has won two-thirds of the Dodgers games this year. A $200 million /8 year deal probably won’t get it done. Clayton is looking at getting a 10 year/$250-$300 mil deal. I am certain someone will give him that. The Dodgers might as well pony up. I predict at least $250 mil/10 years… maybe [...]

Have you seen Yasiel run, throw and hit? P(u)igs can fly. I was wondering who we might compare him to and Don Mattingly came up with the apt comparison – Bo Jackson! Actually, Yas is bigger than Bo – two or three inches taller and twenty plus pounds heavier, but they both hit the ball [...]

At a time when most Dodger fans are overjoyed and elated at the Dodgers’ prospects, I find myself very underwhelmed, even sad. By all accounts the Dodgers are in excellent financial shape. A huge TV contract will soon be a reality and the team has spent like no other team in the history of the [...]

Just Three With Crawford in LF, Kemp in CF, Ethier in RF, Ramirez at SS, Adrian Gonzalez at 1B and AJ Ellis behind the plate, the Dodgers are very set at six positions. Even though Hanley Ramirez is listed as a 3B – HE IS NOT PLAYING 3B in the DWL. In fact, he is [...]

I am happy that the Dodgers are winning, but they started winning when they no longer had control of their own destiny. Don’t pretend you don’t get that. Don’t hate on me – I am just pointing out the obvious. The first order of business in the offseason will be to sign Zach Greinke. It’s [...]

Even if this deal fizzles, I still tip my cap. MLB teams and fans across the country are realizing this is a new era in Dodger baseball. *As a fan, they have won me back*-to bad I live in Florida…Hopefully Dodger fans return to the park knowing their money is not going to support McScum [...]

The season started yesterday as Mark pointed out and so far we are 1-0. The bats are back! If Cliff Lee were to join this team, would he be our #3 behind the rejuvenated Chad Billingsley? Fear the beard has an entirely new meaning. You can make the argument that Cliff Lee is one of [...]

The Dodger implosion has been nothing short of legendary as they have plummeted from the Penthouse to the Outhouse in less than two weeks. What a fall by a bunch of marginal major leaguers who have no business of being on a major league field! Adam Kennedy, take your wheelchair and AARP card and go [...]

That’s Rule #1 in JunkYard Dogology. You had better kill a junkyard dog, because, if you don’t, it will come back and bite you. And, bite Dodgers did last night, led by the biggest junkyard dog of them all, Jerry Hairston, Jr. – Five (count ‘em 5) freaking RBI’s by a lifetime journeyman utility player [...]

I want you to consider a few questions and how you would have answered them on January 20, 2010: If I had told you that James Loney would hit more home runs than Andre Ethier in 2010, would you have probably felt pretty good about the 2010 season? If I had told you that RDLR [...]

Frank McCourt has said that Bug Selig nixed his contract with FOX, which was immensely front-loaded. Not true! What if … Bug approved the deal, but still kept the trustee in place and would not allow Frank to pay off Jamie with the proceeds? In other words: the Dodgers would become flush with cash that [...]

Some people are reluctant to call him “Ace.” “He’s too young. “He’s too wild.” “He’s too inexperienced.” Every year, we have seen Clayton Kershaw progress, mature, grow and develop. One of the first and probably the smartest thing Don Mattingly did when he started Spring Training was to name Clayton as the Dodgers Opening Day [...]

It pains me greatly to say this. I never raise the white flag, but Ned tried and it was too little, too late. Podsednik, Theriot, Lilly and Dotel arrived at the fort after the troops had already been massacred. This year is done. It’s time to hop on the Bus Gus, we don’t need [...]

I will preface what I am about to say, by stating that the Dodgers are capable of reeling off a 15 game winning streak! Jon Broxton can be a great closer, but he just lacks the “C” in closer, which makes him a loser. According to some pin-headed bloggers (Jon Weisman not included), I have [...]

Jared Massey and I were both at Blogger Night in LA on Monday Night and during the six plus hours at Dodger Stadium we gained a lot of insight into the 2010 Los Angeles Dodgers. So, here is some of what we have learned: Ned Colletti spoke with us for nearly an hour and was [...]

Several months ago, I was already sick of hearing how the Dodgers would not spend any money, the divorce was crippling the Dodgers, the Dodgers need a new owner and blah, blah, blah. I was on-board with all their off-season moves – the non-tenders of Wolf and Hudson, the trade of Juan Pierre for Link [...]

The Knucklehead: Getting shot in the leg is enough to cause you to get branded as a knucklehead, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Vicente Padilla arguably has some one thebest stuff you will ever see, but it’s his “knuckle-headedness” which has kept him from achieving his potential. Obviously, something happened in [...]

Remember what I told you after Kershaw got bombed in his last start prior to Sunday? http://www.ladodgertalk.com/2010/05/unleash-the-kracken/ In case you forgot, I said: When Clayton Kershaw gets beat, he gets mad and gets even. The pounding that he took yesterday is simply going to Unleash the Kracken! Watch out, he’ll be back with a vengeance. [...]
