Second verse, and the Blue hope it's not the same as the first. Chan Ho Park vs. Ervin Santana on a bright, sunny day. Can't beat that.

LIVE BLOG TODAY

Hi folks. I'm on my way down to Anaheim now, but we'll have a Live Blog for you this afternoon from the Big A. Dodgers vs. Angels, Game 2 of this year's Freeway Series. Hope you can join in. The...

The song remains the same

Another game against the Angels, another loss for the Dodgers, this time a 4-2 clunker Friday night at the Big A. For those of you keeping score at home, that's nine losses in their last 10 tries against the Angels....

This back thing must be catching

PROGRAMMING NOTE: I was thinking about launching a live blog for tomorrow afternoon's game. Anyone plan on being in front of their computer? Well, you should. Remember, it's an early game, so make sure to stop by... Blake DeWitt's back,...

Looking for a good Angels vs. Dodgers primer?

It's always interesting to put the Dodgers and Angels side by side, to see how each stacks up against the other. Not necessarily because there's some bitter rivalry between fans of the respective teams, but rather due to the increasingly...

Blue bleeders dig the long ball

Really, so do all baseball fans, but Dodger fans haven't exactly been saturated with homer highlights throughout this young season. During yesterday's 7-2 win over the Brewers, however, they were not only treated with more than their share (3), but...

Six and the City (Milwaukee, in this case)

This afternoon in Milwaukee, the Dodgers had a huge sixth inning fueled by a very unexpected six run seventh inning: Homers from the slumping Andruw Jones and Jeff Kent, plus one from Gary Bennett (who doesn't get enough PT to...

Andruw does indeed "care," but needs to care more

In terms of being "embarrassed" by his sub-Mendoza performance as a Dodger, Jones does care about his lackluster start. How much of that embarrassment, however, is rooted in Jones caring about fan reaction (or not, as he often seems dead...

Scouring Baseball Prospectus this morning, I came across a four part series of features written (or more likely narrated) by former Dodgers GM Buzzie Bavasi. They're long, so perhaps you should print them out for your afternoon sweat fest on...

They're off and speedwalking!!!

It would be something of a stretch to use describe any team so recently off a five game skid as "running," but last night's 6-4 win over the Brewers nonetheless rates as reason for celebration. A party, by the way,...
