What Follows is What I Know for SURE:
More from Dodger Talk
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

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…

Continuing from previous post…….. Yes, MT I have seen the Dodgers play twice this past year at Nationals Park. Nice stadium also added Citi Field in NYC to my list of visited MLB ballparks this past year and will hopefully add Cincinnati and STL next year.
Your wife’s assessment of SF is spot on. That place, while it might be picturesque and a nice place for tourists to visit, is a real shit hole. Homelessness, vagrancy, open space drug use, feces on sidewalks and aggressive panhandling are real. While I had motivation and a reason to leave California, I most likely would have left even if I didn’t have family living elsewhere. Lived in the Golden State my entire life, but had to get out……..current day politics aside.
