Jeanne Zelasko Finally Gets To Be A Dodger Announcer, Sort Of
Jeanne Zelasko tried all offseason to become the Dodgers play-by-player, but in the end, wasn't even invited to a tryout. Well the Dodgers have decided to bring her on, but there's a catch. Well three catches actually. She'll only be working one day a week, the broadcast is online, and it's part of the Dodgers' new venture to target women listeners. DodgersWIN...

2008 Season In Review: First Basemen
First base is a position that people heavily associate with power hitters, and the Dodgers were hoping that James Loney's power had finally emerged late in the 2007 season. Unfortunately, the power surge never continued into 2008, and everybody is now left wondering whether it will ever come.
Loney's still 24, but his line of .289/.338/.434/.772 is simply unacceptable...

Dogs and Cats Living Together
Okay, I can't find a link for this anywhere, but apparently the Giants have traded Mark Sweeney to the Dodgers for a player to be named later. Talk about making a deal with the devil.

This makes me mad, even though it shouldn't
First of all, let me just say that acquiring Aubrey Huff hardly would have been the answer to the Giants offensive woes. He's a solid bat, although he's not putting up the kind of offensive numbers you'd want from your 3rd baseman, or for your 1st baseman.
Acquiring Huff would've put Mark Sweeney i...

Excuses For Garret Anderson Reflect A Bigger Problem
Despite underperforming similarly to a lot of other Dodgers players who have been blasted publicly for their play, Garret Anderson has been sheltered from the criticism, much like Mark Sweeney of years past.
