Hot Dodgers Host Slumping Brewers

By SBRForum.com The Los Angeles Dodgers have been doing just fine, thank you very much, without MVP candidate Matt Kemp. So far.

A.J. Ellis An NL All-Star? Um, Hello?

Dodgers Bring Back Aaron Miles After All

It was just a few months ago, Colletti was on a tear handing out two-year deals to pretty much any player that would take one.

For months I have been talking about Andre Ethier, you know that guy who has all but punched his ticket to his third straight All-Star Game.
