The Big Dodger in the Sky is Pissed!

A few fans disagreed with my suggestion that DEI could be a contributing factor to the Dodgers’ woes. A few called it ridiculous. One said I was having withdrawal symptoms from my meds (which I have been off of for eight days). One moron accused me of thinking I know everything for simply suggesting that DEI could be at play. I do take exception to that idiot, but I realize if they gave him an enema, they could bury him in a shoebox. So, I’ll spray him with Troll Spray and just forget it.
I DID NOT SAY DEI WAS THE CAUSE – LEARN TO READ! I suggested it, and I am looking for answers; everything is on the table. I have no insight into the Dodgers’ DEI hiring practices, and neither does anyone else. That’s why I think DEI is just virtue signaling. I do know some DEI hires they made: Kirsten Watson, Stephen Nelsen, and Jessica Mendoza. Kirsten is an All-Star, Stephen is fine, and I will not talk about Jessica.
Last night was the most humiliating Dodger loss ever. The Big Dodger in the Sky is Pissed. The baseball will never lie. It will make you. It will break you. It will build you up and tear you down. You can’t disrespect the game, or it will bite you in the ass. The Dodgers have definitely disrespected the Grand Game of Baseball. With as much admiration as I have for Andrew Friedman, I must say that he has violated the Sacred Oath of Baseball by attempting to buy a World Series. The Baseball Gods won’t let that happen. Now, I must say that I think he was pressured into doing that by the Dodgers’ ownership. That is not Andrew’s MO. He violated everything that I hold sacred about him.
- He signed the two best relievers in 2024: Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott (Scott was given a long-term deal that he has been loath to give out in the past).
- He signed Roki Sasaki.
- He signed Hyeseong Kim.
- He signed Michael Conforto.
- He signed Teoscar Hernandez.
- He signed Blake Treinen to a big deal.
- This was after signing Ohtani and Yamamoto to deals worth over $1 billion.
Pushed by Mark Walter, Andrew tried to make the Dodgers invincible, but the Baseball Gods understood that they did not respect the game and punished them. The Dodgers are still being punished. You can’t buy championships – Ask AJ Preller, who has traded everything, including his firstborn, and made deals with the devil.
The Dodgers are done. They tried to deal with the devil (and I am not talking about Scott Borass) and the Big Dodger in the Sky said: “No way!” I wonder if Andrew Friedman would ever leave the Dodgers? Ohtani has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave if Andrew does. What a screwd up mess. This team is unwatchable. Tomorrow, I will be watching the NFL. Screw the Dodgers! Let’s see what happens next…

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
Tonight was one of the rare nights. I had to go to my happy place.
The happy place was the taste of gun oil in my mouth.
Roberts has ONE job. And it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with talent. Or injuries.
One job! It ain’t easy. But he needs to keep this ship in the air. And that don’t involve advanced stats. Or fucking around with the lineup. I’m sure he knows.
Worst loss I can remember watching. the front office has made several miscalculations:
1 – Michael Conforto would work out.
2 – It’s OK to have 2 bad defensive OF starting.
3 – Scott and Yates would repeat last year’s performance.
4 – They could rely on oft-injured starters like Glasnow and Snell to pitch most of the season.
And for a veteran bunch that should know better, they seem to have assumed that the talent level alone would be enough to win.
I agree Mark, my friend. Not sure I’ve seen a worse loss. My heart, my mind, my love for baseball has been broken. Blake Treinan is a really great man and his heart is bleeding. But, once again he gave up walks. I always think that a lesson has to be learned? But, we are a very veteran team that has got to already know the lesson ?.. I’m sooooo piseed tonight.
