Don’t look now but the Los Angeles Dodgers are starting to get hot!
More specifically the Dodgers youngsters are getting hot…
Matt Kemp is hitting .421, James Loney is hitting .476 and Russell Martin just continues to play like a 10 year veteran.
————————————————————–
I don’t know how but Randy Wolf just continues to pick up wins.
He picked up […]

The only thing I know about Javaris Crittenton, the 19 year old point guard the LA Lakers drafted last night with the 19th pick overall, is that he ran the triangle offense in high school and that he expected to go a little earlier in the draft (he was expected to go in the early […]

Man is Nomar Garciaparra starting to look old or what?
I saw him get blown away by a Juan Cruz fastball last night and one thought immediately came to mind…
Grady Little, please give this guy some time off!
I understand that Nomar is struggling on the road and today is the last game of a 10-game road […]

Los Angeles Dodgers Rookie Tony Abreu hit his first Home Run in the 10th inning to lift the Dodgers over the Arizona Diamondbacks and move the Dodgers into 1st place in the National League West.
The real story was new starting 1st Baseman James Loney going 3 for 5 while driving in 3 and hitting a […]

Apparently James Loney hitting .429 since being recalled from the minor leagues was finally enough for the Los Angeles Dodgers to realize that their best lineup has Nomar Garciaparra playing at 3rd Base and not at 1st Base.
Not only has James Lomey been stellar at the plate but it looks like he could be a […]

With Chad Billingsley and Hong-Chih Kuo now occupying the 4th and 5th spots for your Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation, it may just be demoted starters Mark Hendrickson and Brett Tomko that save the Dodgers season…
Billingsley went 3 2/3 innings last night while being limited to 70 pitches by LA Dodgers skipper Grady Little. Billingsley […]

The Anaheim Ducks announced that they have signed Goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere to a 4 year $24 Million contract.
The goalie was one of the top performers in the Ducks run to the Stanley Cup and would have been an unrestriced free agent.
Several teams expressed interest in him and I think he could’ve picked up a bigger […]

What a huge disappointment Jason Schmidt was this year!
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed the starting pitcher to a $47 million dollar 3 year contract this off-season and were rewarded with 1 victory and a 6.31 ERA!
Unbelievable!
For those that don’t know, Schmidt had shoulder surgery on Wednesday and will be out the rest of this season…
It […]

Jason Schmidt’s fastball topped out at 88 mph today in a loss against the Los Angeles Angels.
The more I see this guy pitch the more I think he’s perfecly healthy. I mean he appears to be throwing effortlessly and he claims to be throwing without pain so let’s just assume he’s healthy.
What happened to his […]

John Lackey and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Cincinnati Reds and John Lackey became the 1st 10 game-winner in the major leagues.
Is it just me or does John Lackey not get the respect around the league that a pitcher of his caliber should receive?
I mean the guy is the ace of the best team […]
