The 2010 season has been a dismal failure for the once proud Los Angeles Dodgers. It it so fitting that the sports page headlines are filled more with divorce trial of the Dodgers owners Frank and Jamie McCourt than what the team is doing on the field. Quite frankly the divorce trial is much more ...

As “eras” go the last 2 1/2 seasons of Manny Ramirez with the Dodgers would hardly compare with his years in Boston or even Cleveland for that matter. Excluding the 50 or so games that Manny played with the club to close out the 2008 season, our Manny experience has been less than awe inspiring. ...

The Major League Baseball season is often times defined as the most grueling among major team sports. One of the reasons is simply the length it encompasses. From start to finish the MLB season stretches some 7 months and play drags and drags on through what many call the “dog days of summer”. It is ...

The Los Angeles Dodgers – Rising to the Top!

  After the first 30 games of the 2010 season the Los Angeles Dodgers appeared to be headed for a dreadful season. I do recall writing at that time that it is a loooong season and 30 games does not a season make. We are still about two or three weeks away from the half ...

One thing is sure about every Major League Baseball season, it is long. Nearly every year a surprise team will come out of the gate strong and the questions then come, can they continue this pace. In that respect, this season is no different than any other. Just a little more than a week ago ...

We are still less than 30 games into the 2010 baseball season, but things ain’t what they used to be. Some familiar logos sit below .500, while a lesser known small market team the Tampa Bay Rays has the best record. Whats a fan to do? As we always say up until September, “its a ...

Well folks the Dodgers lost their season opener. Does this mean that we will go 0-162? Probably not, but the pitching staff will need to be much better than last year. I guess we will just have to ride out the season…That is what makes baseball soooo much fun…It is a very looooong season. Lets ...
