The Dodgers keep doing it. Thanks to A.J. Ellis' walk-off homer the Dodgers beat the Houston Astros 6-3. more ›

Perhaps this is Icarus falling to the ground. After an 11-4 hiccup Wednesday night in Arizona against the Diamondbacks, the Dodgers flailed against the Houston Astros losing 3-1 to start a seven-game homestand against the NL Central. more ›

It was the eclipse. That's the only explanation for how the Dodgers keep winning despite losing players left and right. Well at least the eclipse could be mythological excuse the Dodgers had Sunday night in their 6-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. more ›

These are trying times for the Dodgers. The Dodgers place yet another player on the 15-day disabled list as they continue their weekend series against one of the better National League teams in the St. Louis Cardinals. more ›

This series against the reigning World Series champs is a test for the Dodgers. Much has been made of their Major League-best 25-13 record and how the record was a bit of a mirage due to the inferior competition. more ›

How do you solve a pitcher like Chad Billingsley? The lack of consistency is enough to make managers go mad. We can file the Dodgers' 5-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks as maddening. more ›

If you have to drive in, to, from, near, or around Downtown L.A. this weekend, well...don't. Because traffic is probably going to blow. That's the official word (with some poetic license) from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, who have their eye on four upcoming major events that will have the streets clogged with people taking part in the festivities. more ›

A day after I started wondering whether the Dodgers can be considered great this early in the season, circumstances will require for them to be great just to make it through a considerable stretch of games. A hint of what games will have to look like came in the Dodgers 3-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. more ›

"It's been one of the things we've tried to hang our hat on: pitching and defense," Dodgers' manager Don Mattingly told reporters after the game. The Dodgers did just that edging the Colorado Rockies 2-1 in a pitchers' duel. more ›

It's funny how the Major League's third oldest ballpark celebrating its 50th birthday throughout the season has been the setting of the wave of the future. First there were the Major League debuts of the Washington Nationals Bryce Harper and Tyler Moore. Then last Wednesday there was much hoped announcement of the Guggenheim ownership era. On this Wednesday night came the debut of Scott Van Slyke for the Dodgers against the San Francisco Giants. more ›

Back in the late 1960's and the 1970's, Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver was hesitant using sacrifice bunts saying, "Your most precious possessions on offense are your 27 outs." In 2012, Dodgers' manager Don Mattingly eschewed that maxim using the sacrifice bunt in the seventh and eighth innings to squash rallies allowing the San Francisco Giants to win the game 2-1. more ›

Monday was a day of change and optimism for the Dodgers. While the game wasn't pretty by any stretch of the imagination, the Dodgers celebrated the winds of change with a 9-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. more ›

It was a nearly perfect lazy Sunday afternoon at the Ravine: 74 degrees, a slight haze to temper the glaring sun. Despite some other sort of sporting event taking place in town concurrently, 48,753 came out to watch the Dodgers sweep the Washington Nationals 2-0 in yet another pitchers' duel. more ›

When the Nationals had a rain out in Miami last Sunday that set their pitching rotation back a day, it seemed like a disappointment for baseball fans losing the would-be Clayton Kershaw and Stephen Strasburg duel Friday night. To compensate the baseball gods decided to bestow upon Los Angeles the Major League debut of the Nationals' wunderkind outfielder Bryce Harper. more ›

A couple of months ago, an imagining of the top two National League teams would have probably entailed the Philadelphia Phillies, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers or Arizona Diamondbacks. But the Washington Nationals and the Dodgers? That's just plain silly talk. more ›

The Dodgers might have dodged the incoming storm, but they couldn't escape the clouds of discontent from up high in their 4-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves in the rubber game of the series. more ›

One of Vin Scully's favorite aphorisms to quote during games originally comes from a Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse" written in 1785: "The best laid plans of mice and men..." The Dodgers 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves Tuesday night best illustrated this. more ›

So the Dodgers lost in Houston 12-0 Sunday afternoon. Big whoop. They dusted off their shoulders, hopped on a plane to Los Angeles and came back to beat the Atlanta Braves 7-2 on the backs of their 6-7-8 hitters. more ›

Former Mets/Phillies center fielder Lenny Dykstra, who was sentenced last month to three years in California state prison for grand theft auto, was handed yet another jail sentence today following his Craigslist housekeeper scheme. more ›

On a day when the Dodgers celebrated the most historic moment in both franchise and Major League history, the Dodgers pull a historic if not awkward triple play in their 5-4 walkoff victory against the San Diego Padres. more ›

Matt Kemp has shown no signs of slowing down from his terrific 2011 season when he hit .324 with 39 homers and 126 RBI. Armed with a .417 batting average coming into Saturday's game, he powered the Dodgers to a 6-1 victory. more ›

From the drama in bankruptcy court to the weather to the game itself, the doom and gloom of Friday the 13th threatened the Dodgers. But in the end, the Dodgers said, "Bye Bye Birdie," en route to their 9-8 walk-off win against the San Diego Padres. more ›

I wonder if along with the $2.15 billion spent on the Dodgers, the Guggenheim Group also greased the palms of MLB to get such a favorable schedule to start the season. With the 3-2 victory and the series sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates and taking two of three in San Diego to start the season, the Dodgers now have a 6-1 record and welcome the San Diego Padres for a weekend series. more ›

Dodgers’ ace Clayton Kershaw was given his physical Cy Young Award in a pregame ceremony that must have sparked not only the Dodgers’ pitching but also their bats in their 4-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. more ›

The Los Angeles City Council will vote on and are expected to approve a resolution today to declare April 11 Jackie Robinson Day in L.A. Former Los Angeles Dodgers stars Maury Wills and Tommy Davis, Robinson's relatives and officials of the Jackie Robinson Foundation are all expected to attend the meeting, which began at 10am. more ›

Even though Giovanni Ramirez was once suspected of beating San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow in the parking lot, Tuesday marked the first time the exonerated man attended a ball game at Dodger Stadium. more ›

There was much to celebrate at Dodger Stadium for the home opener, but it wasn’t the same. On the 50th anniversary to the day the first game was played (a 6-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds), the Dodgers known for squeezing the nostalgia out of a boulder did just that as they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1. But something was missing as the sun shone down on the verdant grass of Dodger Stadium. With the exception of the 1977 Masters, today marked the only other time since 1950 that Vin Scully did not call a Dodger home opener whether it be in Brooklyn or Los Angeles. more ›

If you're planning to tailgate at the L.A. Dodgers' first home game of the season tomorrow, plan again. The LAPD are ready for pre-game fun shenanigans and have ramped up security efforts, including a bump in the number of officers on patrol. more ›

If you like to drink at Dodger home games, unless you have a diligent designated driver, getting to the stadium can be tricky. While there is not currently a regular bus stop at the Stadium, Metro will be running their seasonal Dodger Stadium Express bus service for the third consecutive year. more ›

LA Angels defeat Kansas City Royals 5-0. They added Albert Pujols to the lineup, got a healthy Kendrys Morales back, yet the Angels’ offense seemed awfully reminiscent of the anemic 2011 version. Thankfully they had their ace Jered Weaver to keep things rolling dueling with Royals’ starter Bruce Chen matching zeroes for six innings. more ›
