2009 NLCS Game Four: Phils Hope to Go Joe Blanton All Over the Dodgers
I was walking to my job in midtown Manhattan today wearing my Cliff Lee jersey (a nice button-down job, although it has a somewhat incongruous "2008 World Series Champions" patch on the sleeve) when someone--a Yankees fan, presumably--called out to me on the street. "...

NLCS: With A Vengeance. That has to be the title of this series for the Dodgers. Yet again, the best team in the NL West will face off against the best from the NL East for a chance to go to the World Series. In 2008, things obviously didn't go the Dodgers' way, losing the...
Andre Ethier’s Offensive Defense
Andre Ethier has been a keystone in the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup during their playoff runs over the last two years. He has been an above average hitter since reaching the major leagues in 2006, but in 2008 he took a major step forward, becoming a legitimate offensive star. His 53...

Ethier into the Ether

Baseball Musings

Andre Ethier fouls off a number of 1-2 pitches before driving a ball deep into the righ-center stands. I didn’t think he hit the ball that far off the bat (he hit it well, but I thought double, not homer), so it looks like the ball is carrying tonight. Manny follows with a [...]
Broxton lets a big one slip away for Dodgers
PHILADELPHIA -- Part of being a closer, the most mentally taxing job in baseball and perhaps all of sports, is knowing that eventually it will be your turn to fail. Sooner or later, a ball is hit where they ain't, or an outfielder loses a ball in the lights, or a hitter who knew...

Nothing like a nice comeback to wash away the sorrow of a disappointing loss. The Dodgers win probability actually never got below 25% in yesterday's contest.
