Don't Hold Your Breath!

There are just five days until July 30th at 6 PM, which is the MLB Trade Deadline. Remember also that there is no “Waiver Deadline” this year. The trade deadline is the final opportunity to make a trade. For weeks, most Dodger fans have been playing GM and putting together all…

Good News – Bad News

The Dodgers have been patient with Chris Taylor this year and FINALLY… he is coming around. That is good news! Well, now he is out… maybe for the season, which is likely bad news! This time last year, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Texas Rangers were in a bad place, and only a…

Questions and Answers

Why are Dodger Fans so Critical? I think I play the “long game” but even I have called for the heads of CT3, Outman, Kike, Lux, Roberts and others at times. In most cases, it was stupid (except for Biggio). As fans, we forget or don’t understand in the first place just how hard…

They Just Flipped the Script

We keep hearing rumors that the Dodgers are engaged in talks with the White Sox for a package of Garrett Crochet, Luis Robert, Jr., and Michael Kopech. While all of those players would l;ook nice in Dodger Blue and while I believe the Dodgers would be interested in all three…

Here's What Worries Me…

Depending upon which fan you are or which fans you talk to, the Dodgers need to trade for a stud starting pitcher… maybe two or three. Why? Well, because of the following: Yoshi Yamamoto is on the IL, and we have no idea when he will return or even if he will return this year…

Come on, Man!

I have been taking a little break at the break. I did not even watch the All-Star Game last night. All of the trade speculation by Dodger Fans is just mental gymnastics… daydreaming. Tarik Skubal? Yeah, might as well throw in Aaron Judge and Juan Soto… because the odds of…

You Can't Have it Both Ways!

Sometimes, I just step back and let everyone “ wallow in their swill. ” I think, like pigs, some of you love it. For the past three years, I have heard, “ Y es, the Dodgers are a great team in the regular season, but they aren’t built and can’t win in the playoffs.” So, that has…

Not Even Close to the Worst Loss!

You all think that yesterday’s debacle was the worst Dodger “Blowing a Lead Game Ever,” but it wasn’t even close! I remembered a column that Jon Weisman (now the Dodgers VP of Communications) wrote in his previous life as a blogger on “ Dodger Thoughts. ” In part, here’s what he…
