Ten years ago or so I gotta admit. Doug Mientkiewicz was kinda cool. After all he was playing in Minnesota, could field a ball and his name somehow had both w and z in it.
Anyway this season he’s trying to make the Los Angeles Dodgers. Last season he tried the same thing with the Pittsburgh [...]

Jose Bautista (3B/OF-PIT)
Bautistas was benched a second day. The decision to put Doug Mientkiewicz at third on Tuesday in place of Bautista seems to be Russell's way of trying to find a way to jump-start Bautista offensively. The third baseman is hitting .182 on the season with a .236 on-base percentage, and he has admitted ...
Three is All You Need
"I feel like I can go out there and win every ballgame with three runs," Brandon Webb said after pitching the Diamondbacks to a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. "So I try to keep it down below one to two runs for seven or eight innings, and I've been able to do that." The ...
Yhency Shows Off His Winter Skills
Many players from Major League Baseball are using winter league play to show off their talents, condition themselves and show their teams that they are making an attempt to hone their skills for the 2006 season. Yhency Brazoban is one of those players. He is showing the Los Angeles Dodgers that he ha...
You'll find him in the outfield.
Jason Repko, Los Angeles Dodgers jack of all outfield trades, is going to participate in an online chat on Tuesday on the team's official website. I am interested to see what subjects come up in that discussion. Repko has been with the Dodgers since last season and he is quite the hitter. I think the...

Theriot Track - 9/4/2007
9/4/2007 - Los Angeles Dodgers 1-4, 8 pitches seen, 4 Put-outs, 4 Assists Rob and I were able to view this one in person with a spectacular view from behind home plate. We both of course forgot our cameras so were unable to snag a picture of The Riot up close and in person. Here is a crappy picture o...
Stumping for Ben Sheets
The Stumping for Milton Bradley pieces worked wonders (don?t forget to leave a caption in the contest to win a Bradley jersey). I believe I am responsible for persuading the Cubs into signing Milton Bradley. Well, not really, but it?s not going to stop me from a new series for a player I think the Cubs should sign. So, until Ben Sheets is signed, I will try to post something...

August 18, 2008
The year was 1988. Bill Cosby's sweaters hypnotized us into buying Jell-O Pudding Pops. The nation was swept up in the controversy of the day: Which one of the Golden Girls was Axl Rose singing about in "Sweet Child o' Mine" (Of course it turned out to be Bea Arthur)? And the movie Cocktail inspired a generation of children to quit playing Go Fish, drop out of elementary school and...

August 18, 2008
I come to you, hat in hand, eating a healthy slice of humble pie, to say I'm sorry. After spending the last two weeks experiencing life with Aaron Heilman and his band of not so merry men as the closer(s) for my favorite baseball team, I now realize I've been too harsh on you.
In the past I've cursed you while following games on television, the radio and the internet...

Milton Does Arlington
While Eric Gagne landed himself $10 million for 2008 with Milwaukee, his former Los Angeles Dodgers teammate Milton Bradley—who looked as though he might return to the San Diego Padres, who wanted him back, too (he was the unquestioned offencive spark in their second half before he was injured)...
