LAst Night's Action: Dodgers Rally But Lose in Milwaukee

Milwaukee Brewers defeat LA Dodgers 5-4. The game really did look over when Andre Ethier hit the two-run homer in the top of the eighth inning to give the Dodgers the 4-3 lead.

LAst Night's Action: Angels Wait Until Last Swing To Show Life

LA Angels defeat Texas Rangers 2-1. It isn’t much, but the Angels showed signs of life. It’s like one of those scenes in those maudlin hospital dramas where the patient has flatlined after being taken off of life support.

Dodgers: Kemp Sparks Offense While Kuroda Does the Rest

Dodgers: Kemp Sparks Offense While Kuroda Does the Rest

It was a script that the Dodgers seemed doomed to repeat: starting pitcher notches a quality start; Jamey Carroll and Aaron Miles hits singles at the top of the order; Dodgers are shutout because no one else can hit. The rain must have washed this script clean as the Dodgers finally got some timely hits in their 3-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. more ›

LAst Night's Action: Dodgers Sweep Brewers

LAst Night's Action: Dodgers Sweep Brewers

LA Dodgers defeat Milwaukee Brewers 7-1. The fear was that with Manny Ramirez sitting for a day game after a night game, the streaking Dodgers would ground to a halt. It really looked that way with the Dodgers holding the slim 2-1 lead after five innings until Casey Blake belted a two-run homer off of Brewers’ starter Yovani Gallardo (L, 11-6) in the sixth inning. The Dodgers capitalized on the Brewers generosity in the seventh inning with RBI singles by Ryan Theriot and Reed Johnson with another run scoring thanks to a wild pitch by the hard running reliever Todd Coffey. This marks the Dodgers’ first sweep since they swept the Giants on June 28-30. With Chad Billingsley’s right calf still bothering him, Carlos Monasterios made the spot start going 4 1/3 innings giving up a run on Prince Fielder’s solo blast in the fourth inning that tied the game. Thanks to the Dodgers offense Ronald Belisario (W, 2-1) got the win. more ›

LAst Night's Action: Dodgers Crawl Into Wild Card Hunt

LA Dodgers defeat Milwaukee Brewers 5-4. The Dodgers responded to the Brewers three-run bottom of the fourth inning right away by getting three runs for themselves in the top of the fifth. While Andre Ethier hit a solo homer off of Brewers’ starter and former Dodger Randy Wolf (L, 10-10) in the third inning to start off the scoring, the story for the Dodgers was their doubles. Manny Ramirez and Ryan Theriot hit two apiece while James Loney and Casey Blake hit one each to help back Hiroki Kuorda (W, 9-11) who went seven innings giving up the four Brewers runs. Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect eighth inning and a combination of Ronald Belisario, George Sherrill and Octavio Dotel (S, 22) pitched a perfect ninth. The Dodgers are now 3-0 with Manny Ramirez in the starting lineup and are a manageable 5 ½ games back in the wild card race. more ›

Dodgers Thrown for a Looper

With all the anticipation from Tuesday night’s theatrics on the minds of the 50,276 fans at the Stadium, all they got was a lousy baseball game. “That’s what I expected,” Torre said of the lack of drama. “I was hoping the result would be different, but as far as any repercussions from last night I didn’t expect anything.” The result was a 4-1 loss at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers.

LAst Night's Action: Dodger Come Back Falls a Little Short

Milwaukee Brewers defeat LA Dodgers 6-5. Coming off of some rather remarkable starts, Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw lost his form.

Is Bud Selig a Racist or does he Just Hate Baseball?

Is Bud Selig a Racist or does he Just Hate Baseball?

So Barry Bonds hit his big dinger last night, and we hate him for it. But we're allowed to, we live in LA. The Commissioner of Baseball, however, is not allowed to hate Barry Bonds. At least not publicly. Why? Because the Commish is supposed to be fair and without allegiance. All he is supposed to care about is Baseball's Best Interest. But clearly Bud Selig only has one interest: money. The former used... more ›

¿Kuo Qué?

¿Kuo Qué?

On a day of magnificent feats when Detroit Tiger’s 24-year old pitcher Justin Verlander pitched a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Dodgers managed to top that. They exploded with three consecutive homers on three consecutive pitches against the New York Mets in the second inning. Don’t get me wrong. Verlander’s no-no was absolutely amazing. In the ninth inning, he was still pitching strikes at 102 mph. And given the blustery conditions at Comerica... more ›
