When we learned yesterday that A.J. Ellis had injured his left knee, requiring surgery today, the question was inevitably: How? Ellis played a full game on Saturday, and taking a …

In a reveal that seemingly came out of nowhere, the Dodgers official Twitter broke news that A.J. Ellis would be undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee for a meniscus …

An off-day mailbag! Because we’ve (I’ve) been slacking on mailbags. Let’s get started with an optimistic question! ===== Michael: “Let us contemplate the worst, and perhaps that will keep it …
