Whenever a game is played at Coors Field in Colorado, a high-scoring affair is what one always expects. Today's Dodger game was no different. L.A. was able, for at least one night, to find a cure to their offensive woes, beating the Rockies 16-10.
They scored 8 runs in the 1st inning, thanks in ... 22Jul2008 |

It was just a matter of time before former Dodger pitcher Hideo Nomo decided to hang up his spikes for good, since the Royals had designated him for assignment back in April. Nomo made the announcement today through his web site, but something apparently got lost in the translation to English.
"Retiring. July 17, 2008. I announced ... 17Jul2008 |

Record: 46-49, 2nd place
The Good: So far this year, the Dodgers have had a ridiculous slew of injuries at almost every position but have been able to remain in the playoff hunt as a result of playing in baseball's worst division, the N.L. West. While management has ... 16Jul2008 |

The Angels lost the first game in this series, 2-9, allowing Oakland to cut their second place deficit down to four games. But, trying to top Jon Garland's dismal performance last night, Ervin Santana takes the hill against the A's Dana Eveland. Santana, one of the ... 12Jul2008 |

Bill Plaschke's most recent column emphasized Frank McCourt's belief that some of his young players (i.e. Matt Kemp, James Loney, Russell Martin, etc.) lack listening skills and might need to be traded eventually.
"There is a certain type of player that will thrive and excel here," McCourt said. "There is another type that won't last here."

The Angels, already possessing a five-game lead in the AL West over the second-place A's, look to increase that lead starting tonight in the first game of a three-game series at McAfee Coliseum. The Angels hitting has been dramatically better of late, as they are ... 11Jul2008 |

On Wednesday, Derek Lowe took a perfect game into the 7th inning only to have it broken up by a single up the middle by Atlanta’s Gregor Blanco. We haven’t seen this kind of pitching from the Dodgers since, well, Monday as Hiroki Kuroda took a perfect game into the 8th inning.
It’s no ... 10Jul2008 |

When will the Dodgers finally figure out that Andruw Jones is done. He was on a sharp decline last year when Colletti thought it would be a good idea to put $36 million in his Christmas stocking. I, for one, am sick of watching that absolutely painful at-bats that Jones goes through. He looks ... 6Jul2008 |

Play GM(I mean anybody can do as good as Colletti anyway). What should the Dodgers do? Should they build for the future? Should they sell their future and shoot for the playoffs this year?
The news came down that Juan Pierre is out for 4 to 6 weeks. This does let Joe Torre off ... 1Jul2008 |

Only our very own Angels could throw a no-hitter through eight innings against the Dodgers, but still manage to lose the game 1-0.
In all my years of watching baseball, I can’t fathom of a more depressing way to lose to our northern rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Over the years that I have ... 29Jun2008 |

I made it to my third game last night. This time I shared the cheap seats in the sky with the birds. But even though I sat closer to heaven than I would have liked too, I could still see the major flaw with this team - Joe Torre.
Allow me to elaborate. With ... 25Jun2008 |

Did you really just suggest that the Doyers would go further in the playoffs than the Angels?
