As before, next to each question, and bolded, is the answer. In the parenthesis are all of the guesses. With that, the pitchers. Livan Hernandez: Number of innings? 139.2 (225, 170, 202, 210) Number of...

Michael Cuddyer is overvalued by the Minnesota Twins. Do I have your attention? I hope so because Bill Smith and the Twins are rumored toA be shopping left fielder Delmon Young. I mean, with the emergence of Denard Span and Brian Buscher this year along with the clear productivity of Young I was planning on putting together a [...]

This Dodgers King has freakishly good arm and dance movements. Sign him up as mayor of Dodgertown

Once again, a professional writer, who we'll call "Kansas", wanted to give his thoughts before the start of the NLCS. However, instead of wanting to vent like last time, this time he wanted to reminisce a tad. Enjoy. Two heat waves have hit Los Angeles in the last two weeks and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the Boys of Summer, who have been one...

Oh well, it was a good run. 2008 surpassed my expectations.

I've been scrolling through "expert" predictions lately, and most people think the Dodgers will beat the Phillies in the NLCS. (...)

Tim McCarver ways in on the Manny Saga...

So here we are with the Press Conference News.. Not much difference from what we heard on STO yesterday in the interview. But I'll go ahead and point out the rest.One thing that was not brought up was the news on Travis Hafner.Hafner's shoulder is not where they expected it to be. So arthroscopic surgery may be needed.Still, not for sure, they could take the route they are...
