We had a house full of company last night, and then we had several people spend the night: One of US Water Systems’ salesmen from Florida, who will be attending his first race. Our 5-year-old granddaugheter Our 10-year-old granddaughter Our 10-year-old Goddaughter Our…
Too often, when we think of a good trade, it is when one team totally “snookers” another team, but in my opinion, a good trade is when a trade benefits both teams. Before the start of this season, the Dodgers traded Gavin Lux for Mike Sirota. The Reds needed another bat, and…
I think many of you missed the point of yesterday’s post: It wasn’t about my credentials… it was about the fact that I have been doing this a long time and have in fact, seen a lot and yet, I am not out there begging for some player to be traded, released, or DFA’ed. I do not…
Maybe some of you need to understand how I look at all things Dodgers. I have been a Dodger fan for over 60 years and have seen a lot. I am not a journalist or a baseball writer. I am not a member of the Baseball Writers Association of America (nor will I ever be). When I say a…

Don’t expect this often; it might not mean a lot that Muncy, Kim, Rushing, and Outman were hitting. It was against the Little Sisters of the Poor, so there was that. However, it was good to get a glimpse of what Dalton Rushing is about and see Kim continue his quest to make the…
The Dodgers showed yesterday that they were not afraid to make a move to remove a Dodger Icon when they DFA’ed Team Captain Austin Barnes. Austin was in his eleventh season with the Dodgers and, in fact, has never played for a MLB team except the Dodgers. Chris Taylor has been a…
To begin with, I totally understand how much the Dodgers wanted to draft Mike Sirota. He was projected to be a first-round draft pick ahead of the 2024 Draft… some services even had him in the Top 10. However, he took a huge backward step in 2024 for various reasons. Frankly, he…
