  As I said, when I started this, this was pretty much a running list and somewhat based on what I can recall about the game itself. This is one where I don't need to go back and look up the box...

The Minnesota Twins was swept out of the playoffs today and have not won a game since October 5, 2004 and have not won a playoff series since they beat Oakland 3 games to 2 before meeting up with A...

Just a fun list, really I am doing this on the fly.  Now, I could have gone back to 1974 except I don't really recall much of them aside from Joe Fergueson's great throw in the World Series. So...

First time without Postseason baseball in Southern California since 2003... Aside from Phillies and to some extent, the Giants, no other playoff team played well in the last few weeks... Saw Kemp...

Gary Matthews Jr., Angels.  Five years, $50MM ($10MM per year) - 1 more year Carlos Lee, Astros.  Six years, $100MM ($16.66MM per year).  2 more years Vernon Wells, Blue Jays.  Seven years,...

Just thought I would check this out, information is from Baseball America's Executive DirectoryArizona - Tom Allison - 2009 Atlanta - Tony DeMacio - 2009 (first draft was in 2010) Chicago - Tim...

First, hate that description but at least this week, they were neither gutty nor little as they blew Texas off the line... I believe Rafael Furcal threw for more yards from shortstop this weekend...

2002 - Arizona clinched on Game 161 2003 - San Francisco clinched on Game 150 2004 - Los Angeles clinched on Game 161 2005 - San Diego clinched on Game 158 2006 - San Diego clinched on Game 162...

The Dodgers went from "Bad News Bears" to just Bad News for the Rockies today... Jay Gibbons is not as bad a player as Timmy Lupus but his catch in the 9th inning was almost as implausible as...

If you became a fan of the LA Dodgers anytime before 1976, from then until mid-1996, you only had two managers to deal with, Walter Alston and Tommy Lasorda.  Since then, with the announcement of...

Bill Shaikin has posted a very interesting story on the LA Times site where he asks the question, can Bud Selig intervene in the ongoing dissolution trial between Frank and Jamie McCourt. Former...

Borrowing a style from the late great Alan Malamud, here are some thoughts as we wind down into the final month of the 2010 Dodger season. Who knew that Ronald Belisario's visa trouble would be...

Five years ago (and really doesn't 2005 seem more than five years ago), I really wanted the Dodgers to sell.  On July 21, 2005, they were 6.5 games behind the Padres, in third place and they were...

Since the year when the All-Star Game victor secured home field advantage for their league, the AL had won 7 straight All-Star Games but only 4 out of 7 World Series.  An NL win in 2010 would even...

Though this time he is not asking the Dodgers to get an ace or trade Kemp.  This time he is explaining why MLB is going to Anaheim for its Mid-Season Classic.  He says in tomorrow's edition T...

The Dodgers and the Angels enter their post-July 4th schedule looking up at the San Diego Padres and the Texas Rangers in their respective Western Division races.  Both teams are down 3.5 games to...

With the 3 sellouts and now the summer months when families are more likely to attend games with kids out of school, the Dodgers now sit about 8000 tickets sold to surpass Philadelphia as the...

Sometimes just lasting 6 innings helps.

Both of these pitchers were very similar and their stats from last year were nearly identical.  Yet one gets the benefit of the doubt more than the other. "When things are going well, the...

I can understand why there is a concern about the McCourts' dissolution (which is the legal term) litigation and its effect on the Dodgers. But to some extent, I believe the concern is not...
