It was in 2004, that I first really noticed Andy LaRoche. He was a 20 year-old third baseman who ended up with 23 HR and 76 RBI in A ball. The next season, he hit 30 HR with 94 RBI and had a slash line of .305/.374/.553. He had amazing opposite-field power – I said [...]

Any Dodger discussion HAS to include the fact that Bud Selig allegedly denied Frank McCourt the opportunity to get a loan against future TV revenues. Many people are jumping to the conclusion that this means Frank will have to sell the team, after all, he did the same thing to Tom Hicks and his team [...]

According to multiple sources, Vicente Padilla will have surgery to repair a nerve/muscle problem in his arm. He could miss the whole season, or not. However, he can’t be included in the Dodger’s plans this season. Padilla was a key part of the pitching staff, so we can’t minimize his loss. So, now it on [...]

… but I have reservations about him. However, I am from Missouri, so he’ll have to “show me.” But, it’s a done deal. Frank and Ned gave their word before the season that Don Mattingly would be the 2011 Dodgers manager and they are being true to their word. Nice! Keeping your word! Damn! Keeping [...]
