You know, some fans wait decades for even a token playoff appearance. They cheer, and they celebrate. I’m not sure if I’ve been excited for any of these games. I don’t know if this has been fun or not. I’m not sure if that says more about me or this team. Dodgers Cardinals 2:00 P.M….
The Dodgers face off against the Cardinals in the rubber match Game 3 of the 2014 NLDS, and they send Hyun Jin Ryu to the mound against John Lackey. More than any concern about how the Cardinals fare against him or what Lackey does with Dodgers hitters is the question of Ryu’s arm health. Cardinals…
This is it. After nearly a year of waiting, 162 games, over 750 posts at Dodger Digest, hundreds more at our prior sites, and four off days full of nervous energy, the rematch. The Dodgers and Cardinals, Clayton Kershaw and Adam Wainwright, in a rematch of last year’s NLCS. Does it get better than this?…
Well, we made it. From the first two games in Australia, to the now-predictable early season struggles to a National League West division title for a second consecutive year, the Dodgers close out the regular season portion of their schedule against the Rockies.

When I tried to take a guess at the 25-man playoff roster a few days ago, I think I must have come pretty close. Eric Stephen said his 25 were the same. So, today, did Steve Dilbeck. Rockies Dodgers 7:10 p.m. Los Angeles LF Blackmon 2B Gordon 3B Ynoa CF Puig 1B Morneau 1B Gonzalez…
This is how you draw it up, you know, you just never expect it to actually happen. Giants Dodgers 7:10 p.m. Los Angeles RF Pence 2B Gordon 2B Panik CF Puig 1B Posey 1B Gonzalez 3B Sandoval RF Kemp C Susac SS Ramirez LF Dominguez LF Crawford SS Arias 3B Uribe CF Blanco C Ellis…
It sucks to invest as much time with a game like last night only to have it end in a loss. The stress and the blood pressure-raising pitches and managerial decisions are enough to take years off one’s life. Tonight’s game probably won’t be any different (and it isn’t even a playoff game!). Giants Dodgers…
