Happy Holidays to All!!!
I really can t take credit for the success of this blog, but before I tell you why I can t, let me tell you what is happening behind the scenes: Over the past seven days, we have had 119 new user registrations. This blog is just blowing up with an increase of traffic and of course, I am thankful for Always Compete ( AC ) who always competes with every column he writes
I really can’t take credit for the success of this blog, but before I tell you why I can’t, let me tell you what is happening behind the scenes: Over the past seven days, we have had 119 new user registrations. This blog is just blowing up with an increase of traffic and of course, I am thankful for Always Compete (“AC”) who always competes with every column he writes and Dodger Chatter (“DC”) who doesn’t really chatter, but rather offers some deep insights into the Dodger Farm System.
Since late last season, we have been adding dozens, 60, 90, 119 readers a week. This is not an ad site and we do not SEO the site. It is growing organically… for one main reason. According to “Opinion of Kingman” who himself or herself is a new poster, it is for this reason:
Merry Christmas to all of you. Definitely the most thought provoking and intelligent thinkers amongst the Dodger blogosphere.
Welcome, Opinion of Kingman, I would play that Tommy Lasorda Rant, but it’s Christmas! AC, DC and I do this as a labor of our Dodger Love, but you all are the most thought provoking and intelligent thinkers amongst the Dodger Blogosphere. The credit goes to all of you. The closest thing to an ad is my company “US Water Systems” having a display ad on the home page, because I “borrow” our Web Developer and IT Director at times… without pay, so I give them a little love.
If you want to wish your Dodger Brothers and Sisters a Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday, here’s your chance. Take a second and tell us where you are from too. I am from Indianapolis, home of one of the Top NBA Teams and a NFL Team no one want to play in the playoffs… with a little LUCK, they could do well.

Dodgers Food Trailer
I did this interview a couple of weeks ago with Chef Mike, who runs the Dodgers Food Trailer for the Great Lakes Loons. They are there for every home and road regular season and playoff game. They prepare three meals a day for approximately 50 people (players and coaches). Since games end late most evenings, they do not prepare breakfast. Many of their hotels have a complimentary breakfast anyway. However,…
Meet LAD 2026 Draft Picks 1-12
3 picks were High School players (2 SS and 1 OF). There was a college OF, college catcher, college SS, and 10 college pitchers. Of all the talk for a need for a catcher, the only catcher the Dodgers selected was Luke Bard, son of LAD bullpen coach Josh Bard. Bard was a 4th year senior from Houston Christian University. He is not a prospect, so the Dodgers are still…
Interview with Paul Beachy – Team Bus Driver For The Great Lakes Loons (LA Dodgers Minor League Team)
It’s been a few days since I did this interview. We have evidently been working my son-in-law (the video guy) like a rented mule at US Water Systems. However, I am taking him to London with me in a few days, so maybe Watford will buy him a pint as a tip, but he’s a dang Red Sox fan, so there is that! I thought that it would be interesting…
Thanks for Your Service: Chris Taylor
I was going to do this post when Chris announced he was retiring, then he changed his mind, but since the chances of him ever playing for the Dodgers again are slim and non-existent, I will go ahead with this post. He unretired, went on the IL, then decided to call it quits on May 24th. Taylor was born in Virginia Beach VA on August 29th, 1990. He attended Great…

Merry Christmas from Milwaukee WI!
Merry Christmas to all! Born in the Netherlands, raised in Dairy Valley, Ca, now living in Riverside, California
Merry Christmas from Modesto, Ca (hence the name norcaldodgerfan). Love the blog and have been commenting for several years now. I also lurk and occasionally comment on another blog but have found it to be frequently obtuse and non-baseball related. I mean it’s a baseball blog and all too often the conversations involve food, recipe’s, favorite dining and some fairly weird Internet confessions.
Thanks to Mark, AC and DC for keeping it real and baseball related. Wishing 2019 brings us a WS title and a Bryce Harper signing.
Merry Christmas to all – born in Burbank, now living in the suburbs near Sacramento.
