Every team that has a chance at the playoffs is sucking air! It’s a long season, and we are down to “crunch time.” I am just going to continue to root for the Dodgers and warn the morons to stay away from here. If you disagree… well, you are a dumbass and a moron! I happen to have an aversion to morons and dumbasses! Just go away… you are not welcome here. We all saw the Dodgers walk it off against the Rockies today. Truthfully, the morons and dumbasses were befuddled. They had nothing to say. GOOD! You know where you belong. Don’t come back here.
It took me a long time (I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer), but I realized (finally) that the morons who only have negative things to say are not people I want to be around. You have made your choice. Stay at www.LaDodgerChronicles.com and wallow in your swill. Do not come back here. I am done with you. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I will delete your comments. Free at last. Free at last! Free at last!
Test me! Our commenters have gone down, but our readers are growing like crazy! We add 3-10 new readers every day. I think I am on to something: Readers don’t enjoy morons. OK, so that you know: You can say anything here that is not moronic. Not everything is good. There are negative things, but not everything is negative, and none of you know as much as Dave Roberts, Andrew Friedman, and Brandon Gomes. You have no access. You are bitter old men who don’t know jack shit. Goodbye! Stay away!
Oh, but have a nice day! 😉
7 games left!
This is called, “Drawing a line in the sand!”

Disagree, not disagreeable
I’m fairly new to these blogs. I came across this one last year and love it. I like the other site especially Bear and his history lessons. Being a coach for over 20 years in mainly in high school but some college and then being in politics 18 years (thank God that’s over in January), I’m not sure what I haven’t been called. My philosophy has always been “it’s never okay to be mean.” What I have found in my experience is people are real brave when that never have to show their face or for that matter use their real name. After my term is up hopefully I’ll use my full name but probably wait a year or so. That all said, I really enjoy reading the articles in both blogs. Prefer the comments on this blog until they go after Bear. He hasn’t attacked anyone that I have read. Sometimes he may get caught up trying to rationalize some all the wall comment but that is Bear being Bear. I hope to meet Mark and Bear one day. I live within 5 hours of Bear and I have a gold card baseball pass so I get to Cincy or in Mark’s neighborhood. As John Lennon would say “Give Peace a Chance.”
I never post but read every day. Been a Dodger lover since 1956. Mark I appreciate how you have managed the ship in recent months and it has improved the daily read with the morons in another location. Funny that today all was well until Norris, who does write some great history, decided to once again chastise Mark. This only confirms all that Mark has done has been good management. While this season has had some ups and downs I have never enjoyed a season more!! Love seeing all the maneuvers by front office and great to see minor league talent have a shot!! Just thankful that the team will take us to the playoff level no matter the outcome! And 2025 should only be better!
Who is the Dodgers best pitcher right now? Some might say Landon Knack. Some may wonder why he’s not getting any love. Others might say he’s going to have a huge part in our world series aspirations. Doc says Striker could start in Oct. Gonsolin might have something to say about that. If Knack wraps up the Madres, yes I’m a name caller, game 3 has his name all over it. And Tony will start game 4.
Don’t be boring!

Everyone has brought their A-Game today. Some really good stuff. I think we have turned the corner of turning around the culture at this website.
So, just to be clear, I am not calling people names. I am just identifying what they are.
I also wish them peace. Charlie Rich said it well. Listen Closely:
Just do not see the need to call anyone names period. We all are Dodger fans, and we all have opinions.
This is the most exciting September in quite a while. The Pods play 3 here and go into the desert where the Snakes will be fighting for a playoff berth. If both make the playoffs they will be fighting to get through the first round. I hope they beat the heck out of each other.
Ideally we end up with best record so we get home field and the bye. Second best we get the bye. We NEED the bye ! Our staff has to have it to put us in a position to succeed in the postseason.
Mookie gave us the MO and ………….
Go Dodgers
A moron is defined as one who is lacking in intelligence, one who is deficient in judgment or sense.
Disagreeing with me is not the issue.
While I don’t always agree with DodgerRick, he does not always say the same old sad stuff. He generally has a take and does not suck.
Disagreement with me is absolutely fine. Just don’t be a moron.
When Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart was asked to describe his test for obscenity in 1964, he responded: “I know it when I see it.”
That’s how I view morons: “I know them when I see them!”
Name calling isn’t an argument.
Disagreeing with our host doesn’t warrant being called a moron.
Having a point of view is OK, even if it isn’t the same as yours (or Mark’s).
We are all long-time fans here. Most are well-informed.
But Mark hasn’t kicked me off yet so I guess I’m OK
While as noted – the site definitely has fewer posters, it is a much more pleasant site than previous.
It was a great day to be a LA sports fan – both awesome endings.
There were multiple discussions on this site during the pre-season about the Dodger’s failures there past few years and what if anything it had to do with them running away with the division.
To be completely honest, I think we all thought the same would occur this year with the new additions.
So now we literally have a pennant race, which the Dodgers can definitely lose. The next three games will definitely put a spotlight on the guys like Betts, Freeman and others who did not come though the past few post-seasons.
Also, agreed that Mark seemingly is in a better place with this new format/restrictions.
Hopefully, enough so he continues this blog next year as I know he has only committed to continuing this site through this season. No pressure or sub-liminal suggestions are intended – hah-hah!
It just appeared. Thanks.
Mark: I just posted and it didn’t appear.
Bluto: I will give you my two cents worth of who the morons are. I will not name names but will try to list the characteristics of said group.
1. Constantly harping on the negative instead of fully understanding how lucky we are to be Dodgers fans.
2. Absolute “know it all” comments. I personally find this pretty arrogant, the definition of which is “unwarranted pride”. Instead of saying here is a suggestion for what should be done, they keep saying this should be done, as if it is definite. They actually believe they know more than the powers to be, which is the most moronic attitude ever. I always get a kick out of them using IMHO (in my humble opinion) when they say something it is the furthest thing it is the furthest thing from humility.
3. The constant ability to pick fights. They would argue that Mark is the one who constantly picks fights. I read this site carefully everyday and IMHO, Mark only engages when engaged with moronic statements.
As I’ve said before, I have been a Dodgers fan since watching games with my Grandfather at Ebbets Field. We have had great teams and great seasons over the years, but nothing like we have now. Morons are people that can’t appreciate that.
Can someone explain to me why Mark is so grumpy? What happened? Who the morons are or were?
Admittedly I haven’t been here much.
It’s not nice to call people morons. Imbeciles and idiots might be more appropriate.
Please, can someone explain to me, if the season ends today, Padres, Diamondbacks and Mets are in playoffs as wildcards, who versus who plays first? I’m too lazy to look it up on the internet.
I know it hasn’t worked out the last couple years, but it would be nice to give our pitching staff a week off. That could make a huge difference this year. IMO
Oh yeah, and it might just be for one day but please remind me who has the best record in Major League baseball today?
Rams Win, Dodgers walk it off….
Great Sunday!
Mark = legend
My only question is, “What if we’re all morons?”
I am actually glad we have had big games with playoff implications in September. The comeback today ending with the back to back homers to win it was great. Seems like all week the Dodgers have been digging out of early deficits of two or three runs.
Some random thoughts:
1) Buehler seems like a guy who should be a bulk guy after a one or two inning opener. He struggles in the first inning and maybe pitching his first inning against the bottom of the order may help.
2) Is it over the top to say that Lux is the 6th best second baseman on the team behind Taylor, Betts, Hernandez, Edman, and Rojas? I am pretty sure that Lux will be on the post season roster but he is struggling offensively and defensively.
3) The bullpen locks appear to be Kopech, Phillips, Treinen, Graterol, Vesia, Brasier, and Banda (if healthy). I think Kelly and Hudson are questionable, at this point. They are going to need some multi-inning guys in pen. Is that where Gonsolin and Knack fit in if they are not “starters” and Kershaw and Buehler fill the third and fourth starter roles.
4) The Padres seem to the team best positioned for success in NL playoffs. They have four viable post season starters in Darvish, Cease, Musgrove, and King, a bullpen headed by Suarez, Scott, and Adams and a deep line up. Of course, we know it does not guarantee anything but this upcoming series will be great to watch.
Enjoy this last week. Great time to be a baseball, and Dodger, fan.
This month, not counting the bullpen games on September 7 and September 20, the Dodgers rotation has a 6.21 ERA with as many starts of three or fewer innings (four) as starts of six or more innings.
I was soooo frustrated with Sat night’s game… 12 runners LOB. Then Freddie hits into a bases loaded double play today. Then he comes through with a clutch RBI single. The walk off back to back was REALLY awesome !!!! Where would we be without Sho-time ??? I’m pretty excited about Gonsolin coming back for the playoffs. Casparius looked good. We have such a talented group of pitchers. Just wish we could keep em healthy. Go Blue !!!!!!
There may be less …..but they are real good takes and they don’t suck. Thanks Mark.
