Morons Don't Change Their Minds
Actually, the saying is “ Only fools and dead men don’t change their mind. Fools won’t. Dead can’t .” But, I do. Well… I have slightly changed my mind. It’s hard for me to do anything “halfway.” I am very competitive and started my water treatment career as an installer and then…

But, I do.
Well… I have slightly changed my mind. It’s hard for me to do anything “halfway.” I am very competitive and started my water treatment career as an installer and then as a salesman. I was the #1 salesman in every company I worked for, and it wasn’t always because I was the best salesman, but I sold the most because I was relentless and would outwork anyone. If I do something, I do it with everything I have.
That’s why what I am about to do may not work. Maybe I will not be able to do it, but I am going to try because of what many of you have said, asked, and begged for. I was very humbled by what many of you said. Thank you for the kind words.
I am not going away completely. Instead, I plan to have a Dodgers newsletter, which will be released once a week. It will most likely be on Saturday or Sunday, but it could vary for some weeks. I will keep the thread open, and everyone can chip in all week. I will also comment but in a limited role. I’ll see if I can make it work, and if I can’t… well, I tried!
I just have to focus my time on other things right now. Sunday will likely be my first post under this standard. Let’s see how it works… or if it works.
We went to the Indianapolis Indians Game tonight against the Toledo Mud Hens and watched Trey Sweeney go 2-5, and Eddys Leonard (who is now a DH) go 0-3 with 2 Ks. Spencer Torkleson was 2-4. Ricky Vanasco pitched one inning with all zeros. We opted for a table for four, right here:
$90 Dollars a person gets a full buffet, including beer or wine and desserts. It’s a beautiful venue.
… and I got back in time to watch the start of the Dodger game.

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…

Disagree, not disagreeable
Bottom line is we pretty much have half an all star team on the DL, rag on Roberts all you want , but he has a half loaded six gun going into every game right, now,, both on offense and pitching. I mean think about it, everybody is starting to pile on Will Smith, but the dude is missing Mookie, Freeman and a healthy Muncy around him, he has zero protection! Those three players are gamechangers, we just have to tread water until they get back, same with the starting pitching, or lack of , which explains why the bullpen is a dumpster fire right now, dudes are totally gassed. Gotta hold the line and post positive stuff instead of all the downer BS. It’s easy to rag on the team , how about posting some hope and better days ahead? Going to steal Marks favorite word ,,anyone who says Fire Roberts right now is a Moron! Get the team to full strength , then judge. Unfair to Doc to trash him when he has one arm and one leg tied behind his back.
Well, the road woes continue. Team is now only 2 games above .500 on the road this year. They are 1-5 on this trip with 2 games left. Offense is stagnant. Too many strikeouts again tonight. Lack of clutch hitting. Loaded the bases with Ohtani up, 0-14 at the time and he grounds out weakly. Then he homers with 2 outs and 2 on in the ninth, and the deep in a slump Will Smith makes the last out on a weak grounder to first. Considering the way he is hitting; Barnes should have got the start. Also, why let a .300 hitter, Rosario, not start the game. The starting lineup had four hitters at the Mendoza line or lower. I think next year, the Dodgers really need to alter their hitting philosophy.
