In Tampa Bay, Carl Crawford was a star. He was one of the most exciting players in the sport and one of the main driving forces behind the team’s rise from ineptitude to World Series contender. He was a homegrown talent who excelled in all of the things the Rays valued. He was an example of wh...

Ted Lilly thinks he ready to come back from his shoulder surgery. The Dodgers do not. When Zack Greinke played matador against a charging Carlos Quentin last week, he suffered a fractured collar bone that will keep him out for two months. The immediate thought was that Lilly would be his replacement. However, the Dodgers did not think Lilly was ready and chose to go with...

After a disappointing loss last night on Jackie Robinson night, the Dodgers will look to get things back on track in game two of the three game series with the San Diego Padres. This will be the Dodgers’ first look at what life will be like for the next couple months without Zack Greinke in their rotation.

My father has always called the San Diego Padres the “Pesky Padres” and for years I have shrugged it off and denied it. But, after tonight’s loss at Petco Park, I am second-guessing myself. In a year where the Dodgers are far better then that pesky team from down south, the Dodgers failed to do much.
The first game of the three game set started with so much promise when Carl...

I apologize for the lateness of my recaps the last couple games. I have been fighting a pretty bad chest cold and find myself drained of energy at the end of the day, so for the second consecutive morning, I bring you a hearty coughing fit and a morning after game summary.
Frankly, the Dodgers look like they’ve come down with my cold. See, their offense got sick again around...
