Dodgers Community Ownership? Why not.

Tom Hoffarth of the Daily News looks at the possibility of the Los Angeles Dodgers being community owned. Peter O’Malley, whose family was the Dodgers’ caretaker for 47 years, has already called on the McCourts to relinquish the franchise since they have “lost all credibility throughout the city.” Is there a credible alternative?

My Los Angeles Dodgers 2010 Year in Review Part 2

August – When It All REALLY fell apart. Record for the Month: 14-15 Season Record: 68-65 What do the Dodgers have against August? It’s my birthday month and for a birthday present, I was taken to Ted Lily’s first start on August 3rd, and it was my account of that experience that got me this [...]

Matt Kemp homers in his 5th straight as the Dodgers win 3-1 over Diamondbacks

Two National Championship Series, two losses to the Philadelphia Phillies, and one horrible 2010 season. Unfortunately for Torre, we will remember him for what he didn’t do rather than what he did, and that’s fine with me. If you’re a major league manager your swan song shouldn’t end like this, 80-82 and a hugely disappointing [...]

Misery Loves Company – Los Angeles Dodgers defeat Colorado Rockies to knock Rockies out of playoffs

After going up 5-2 after the 3rd inning, I walked away from the game thinking that this was over but alas, the Dodgers are full of surprises. After scoring 1 in the top of the 7th, the Dodgers surrendered 4 runs after the 7th inning stretch tying the game 6-6 when I went back and [...]

Los Angeles Dodgers win 3-1 over Colorado Rockies to push Rockies to 4.5 Back

I guess the Dodgers do want to play spoiler but to me it’s against the wrong team. They had a chance to make sure the San Francisco Giants don’t make the playoffs, play for a little Dodger pride and got beat up by the Giants. Now against the Rockies, they decide to deny Ubaldo Jimenez [...]

Los Angeles Dodgers defeat Arizona Diamondbacks on the strength of Kershaw’s Arm

Usually when a team is out of the playoffs it’s hard to watch the games or even care about them at all, except when Clayton Kershaw pitches. All over I heard in regards to the team “I dont care about tonights game” but when told Kershaw will be on the mound “Ill definitely be watching [...]
